Canon doesn't value loyalty anymore
It used to be that if you got hired here, you had a future. Different roles, regular raises, promotions from within. Real job security. Leadership today doesn't seem to care about building a stable workforce. That old model means nothing to them now. — read more

The Goal is to Replace All American Employees with AI by 2028
This goes without saying, but everyone’s job is on the chopping block. They are hellbent on getting this AI stuff implemented ASAP. The most infuriating aspect is that these head honchos have NO CLUE about the technology, and they expect everyone to... — read more
Hypothetical External Candidates for CUSA CEO?
It’d be a pipe dream to think the Board of Directors would boot SK with another dismal year on tap for 2026 and replace him with a non-Japanese executive, but… If you could nominate someone outside of CUSA to replace SK, who would you choose? This... — read more

Any "Renovation" Updates?

Stop wasting your breath
Can someone please explain the investments below?
What is the DX team? Being in sales I find this group as middleware. They have no knowledge and skill sets and pass all opportunities over to the groups that do the work. I was just on a call the other day and I almost lost the deal because of this... — read more

Emperors new clothes
Who is brave enough to tell SK even the expats think he’s doing a poor job? It’s been heartbreaking watching the company get dismantled by immature decisions based on desperation. Billions were made off of employees who truly cared about the company... — read more

MSU Kickoff
Can anybody explain how Bus Ops. fits under MSU? Makes absolutely no sense. All of these organizational charts and acronyms are just fluff. It’s all smoke and mirrors to divert your attention away from the incompetence.
