Definitely not in collaboration, creativity, or productivity. How could it? I don’t have a single team member sitting with me in the office, nor does anyone else in the space I share.
Either fix this or cut the act and just admit you want us gone
It’s getting obvious at this point - leadership doesn’t have the guts to lay as many people off as they want, so instead they’re making the place unbearable until people walk. The RTO which is completely unnecessary, insane workload, the... — read more

You know who you are
I find it ironic how some of you come on here loudly toting the company line, telling people to “just quit” if they don’t like the RTO policy bragging about your work ethic and how you’re going to grind it out. Yet here you are, lurking on a layoff... — read more
