One person vs the overseas team

Replace HR.
Since HR is so lame and useless, why not get rid of them? There’s cheaper outsourced companies as well as software that can do just as good if not better for a much cheaper price I’m sure. It may even better to use AI, why not. Whatever you chose... — read more

The reason Citi’s culture is not coherent is…
Because of the way they bring employees on from international offices and promote them quickly. There is no consistent culture or set of norms. Just employee competition and infighting. Eventually the brains drain and Citi is left with the... — read more

Yesterday's layoffs
Does anybody know more about yesterday's layoffs in California? Is that an isolated incident or should the rest of us be worried about the continuation throughout the week?
Taking layoffs way too personal.
Just remember it’s not a reflection on you. It’s purely tactical approach taken by leadership to cover up for poorly thought decisions to save severance costs and hire for solving regulatory issues. Your self worth, potential and talent does not... — read more
