I'll probably be checking my email at midnight on Sunday lolololol

Can anyone find an e-card for the 4th of July? Seems odd U.S. Bank wouldn’t want to celebrate that holiday.

Anyone still doing summer hours? Unofficially, of course. Send that last email about 12:17 and then get a head start on the weekend?

Of course I would NEVER do that!

How is it going heritage Pioneer peeps?

What’s the mood like at HQ these days?

I must admit I’m not really feeling doom and gloom right now. Should I be?

Something about the c suite serving froyo for an hour as a humility exercise “for good” against the backdrops of layoffs isn’t quite landing.

Let’s see how this goes!!

The bird is the word.

Heard the new furniture is already breaking! KG and MG should not have been cheap purchasing ikea…. With lifestyles of their stature they should know better! SP, why did you give them access to our Amazon account? I love the new call center look, we are all very dedicated slaves who trust in marketing operations to guide us to our success

The Big Day is going to be 2/19. Lookout for an email invitation between 6am and 9am...best of luck to us all.

should be the theme from Jaws. There will be no delay approving or problem with the cost of the licensing fee.

Does taking meetings from the phone and using outlook on phone to check email count towards activity usage?

I do this frequently when commuting in the train and am wondering if this contributes towards activity usage?

I’m specifically looking for news about changes to Dunwoody/Ravinia and Bellevue… are they still serving free weekly lunches? Are the Data and AI teams doing alright?

So, I drag my a-s into the office every day since Jan 5. Yet since last Wednesday, the building has been pretty much dead. Yeah, there were people on every floor, but it's not full. I was on 27 today, and I spotted 4 people. 4!!

So, where are u and how busy is it? Has your boss told you to work from home again?

Was in the office today. Oh how life has changed. The offices used to be inspirational and loved way people connected. Now the atmosphere is very negative and all the benefits of cafe are gone.. anyone feel the same way?

I’m on the Paramount lot and it feels so empty. Did a lot of people decide to not RTO?

Where you at?

Everybody sleeping good?

feels like it

I was in the office today, was pathetic how now one cares about this nonsense company anymore. How do you guys stay motivated to care about this place?

It's so sad to see people working so hard, doing the work of 2+ people every day, and seeing the light drain from their eyes and faces. Everyone seems to have the same "ugh" dejected and defeated look. Pure exhaustion!

People show up, smile, type a few things, but you can tell they’re already planning their next move. It feels like working in a ghost town where everyone’s just waiting for the moment they can leave. RTO only made it clearer how miserable we all are at Dell.

The chair i sat in today has been sat on by over 1000 different bottoms. The keyboard and mouse i handled, was handled by some poor snotty nose woman yesterday. This workstation has a weird smell to it.

Never been much of a city person. I know some of you folk are used to sharing subway trains and busses. Never had to do any of that myself and i sure am thankful. I can see how this.. ahem.. logic is applied here.

Its not that i dont enjoy sharing the workstation as Janice, Jessica, Albert, Ethan, Olivia, Mason, Sophia, Liam, Ava, Noah, Emma, Lucas, Isabella, Elijah, Mia, James, Harper, Alexander, Aria, Benjamin, Layla, William, Zoe, Daniel, Violet, Matthew, Chloe, Jacob, Stella, Samuel, Grace, Nathan, Audrey, Henry, Scarlett, Owen, Lily, Caleb, Nova, Isaac, Riley, Julian, Penelope, Carter, Savannah, Leo, Autumn, Gabriel, Hailey, Wyatt, Aurora, and Miles, its just.. I'm not used to it i guess? Look, i get it, i'm just a spoiled first world country person.

I did invest in my own car to get here. So at least thats still private. I'm told everyone can see all the things i type and do on the computer. Not sure why they would be interested in the boring things that i do, but okay.

I am getting better at tuning out my paripheal vision since Paul is sitting close enough that i can see his mouth moving (hes chewing some gum). I was thinking about having him look over this email im about to send to Sanjeet Pashminderdajeed, he's the one heading our big project from india. I wonder what its like over there this time of year? I'm losing my train of thought, what was i doing? Ah right, trying to tune out Pauls gum chewing habit. Oh look at that, its time for lunch! I wonder what the vending machine has in store today?

People are dragging themselves in, barely speaking, and you can feel the frustration in every meeting. Everybody hates being there. If leadership keeps ignoring it, I don’t see how the company makes it long term. Low morale always comes back to bite you in the a-s.
