Gas prices

Ok, gas is now officially $5.00 a gallon in the Midwest, even worse in some places, and energy costs are rising too. It's time for upper management to make a smart decision, stop with this "collaboration" nonsense, and start letting people work from home if their entire job is on a laptop. The company will save money in the short term on energy costs as well and many European countries are encouraging employers to do just that.

It's going to get to the point that people can't afford to come to work and these gas prices are pulling money straight from all of our paychecks that haven't kept up with inflation as it is. And it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better.


Buh-bye NetSuite!

My wife's company used NetSuite as its accounting system. They paid the yearly software subscription fee, plus the technical support fee. Now it's coming time to renew, and NetSuite wanted to charge 25% more than last year, with no support.

They declined, and are now going with a competitor. Not a huge dollar amount in the grand scheme of things, but another loss for O makes me happy!


Will our CEO take the advice of the International Energy Agency?

The IEA has advised workers to work from home due to the oil shortages that have started and will soon be getting worse. Will Elevance Health’s CEO acknowledge this new reality by removing the silly in-office requirements?

Is this a scam?

All the tech companies have found a way to increase their sales artificially. They systematically raise product prices and thereby report an increase in sales. When in truth, there is no real increase in sales.

Company lost so many customers that revenue took a significant hit. As such in April 2026 they will be raising prices for over 1.5 million customers to squeeze more revenue out of them. Prediction, it pi---s more customers off and accelerates the customer exodus to competitors.


I have been priced out of my job

I can’t afford this job anymore. I can’t afford to lose 15 hours per week just to commute. I can’t afford a vehicle. Let alone paying maintenance upkeep on a used vehicle. Then toll fees. Forget it! Everything was fine and financially manageable prior to the RTO announcement.

One more thing I was given a 1.25% increase. I know I had to sit down and read it as well. It seems like nobody “earns” a raise. Regardless of your effort and experience, PNC will decide what it will give you and it is usually the bare minimum. Nonetheless the raise is just another reminder that I can’t afford this job.


Be magenta!

Does anyone even buy anything on Be Magenta!? Like what’s the point? For one, everything is expensive, also, why would I want to buy any T-Mobile related merch and get lay off the next day. What? Use my $80 T-Mobile hoody as a pijama and make myself feel worse by looking at the logo of the company who didn’t care about me?


Why are cafe prices so ridiculously expensive lol?

It's kinda nuts because the sushi they sell at the cafeteria is quite literally the same sushi you buy at HEB. Still has the original packaging and stickers - minus the HEB price tag - but charge almost double for it lol. 2 hard boiled eggs in a little container is $4.50? I can buy a dozen eggs for less than that. An egg, cheese and bacon breakfast taco is 3.50 but 99% of the time there is no cheese and/or bacon? yeah dawg, i'll just scan it, pretend to pay and leave.

Call it what you want but, if they are making us be in office 5 days/week then fu--ing step up the gd cafeteria food and make it a LOT cheaper. Not that I really care much as I only go to office from 10am-12pm anyways but jesus...


Goldman Sachs expects layoffs to keep rising—and says investors are punishing the stocks of companies that slash staff

“Linking recent layoff announcements to public companies’ earnings reports and stock market data, we find that the recent increase in layoff announcements came mainly from companies that attributed their layoffs to benign factors, such as restructuring driven by automation and technological advancements.” But instead of going up, these stocks fell by an average of 2%. And companies that cited restructurings were punished even more harshly. As the analysts wrote, “This suggests that, despite the benign justifications offered, the equity market has perceived recent layoff announcements as a negative signal about these companies’ prospects.”

Schulman should forfeit the entirety of the awarded compensation package and only be based on incentives.

Schulman should forfeit the entirety of the awarded compensation package and only be based on incentives. And cutoff Hans and Shankar show them both the door because why are these chaps continue to get paid and to receive benefits.

Bottom line as the Verizon Communications, Inc., share price cannot close over $40/share.


From Dan: satisfying our custs and shareholder - yeah, Right!

Is this guy living in La-la land? Satisfying customers? For years customers have been complaining thar VZ is super expensive. While TM proivded a flat rate bill, VZ’s bills are never the same. The arrogance of VZ leadership and the board bite us all.

So their best solutions was: Fire 13k of our peers. This is all BS


Verizon just lost 13k subscribers

It so annoying that they even try to sell Verizon services to people that they laid off . "you are terminated, but you are eligible for 50% discount" seriously! get out of here. Verizon will lose even more subscribers with all these lay offs. They dont have the best service and they are the most expensive. stupid a--holes


It Starts At The Top

Please tell me that most C-Suite executives will also feel the pain. They enabled Hans and others to gut customer service and raise prices without adding any real “value” while never stepping foot into a store or call center to see what was really going on. Hans needed to be gone a long time ago but he shouldn’t be the scapegoat!


Cramer on Accenture Today

Take it with a grain of salt as he tends to be in bed with Comms Departments:

“Alright, now I gotta tell you, Accenture’s come down enough. It hit a 52-week low. I mean, how bad could it really be? It hit a 52-week low today. I don’t think it’s that bad. The only thing I would change is that when you do, when you put it in spell check, it always goes to CAN instead of ACN. But that’s not really their fault. I think that at 18 times earnings, I’m willing to pull the trigger, Accenture, and that’s the first time I’ve said that because I have really disliked the stock.”


Price Gouging

Amazon.com must face a class action on behalf of hundreds of millions of U.S. consumers over claims that the online retail giant overcharged for products sold by third-party sellers, a federal judge in Seattle has ruled. U.S. District Judge John Chun in an order unsealed on Friday certified a nationwide class involving 288 million customers and billions of transactions, marking one of the largest-ever in the United States.

The class includes buyers in the United States who purchased five or more new goods from third-party sellers on Amazon since May 26, 2017. The consumers' 2021 lawsuit said Amazon violated antitrust law by restricting third-party sellers from offering their products for lower prices elsewhere on rival platforms while they are also for sale on Amazon. Amazon's policies have allowed the company to impose inflated fees on sellers, causing shoppers to pay higher prices for purchases, the lawsuit said. Amazon has denied any wrongdoing. It has already appealed Chun's class certification order, which was first issued under seal on Aug. 6.

Amazon argued that the class was too large to be manageable and that the plaintiffs failed to show its alleged conduct had a widespread effect. Amazon also said that since 2019 it has not used a pricing program that the plaintiffs challenged. Chun found there was no evidence at this stage that the size of the class was overbroad. Other federal courts had certified class actions with millions or hundreds of millions of class members, the judge said.
