Just look at the cop personal finance channel to remind yourself a lot of people here have no common sense and really are just unable to think critically

I know this has been beaten to the ground but I'm venting and am questioning how harshly anyone is even paying attention to RTO...

I'm so tired of driving a solid hour to the office every single day, wasting gas and paying $20 a week on TOLLS only to be there for a few hours... With ONE other person on my team. I'm spending about $100 a week just to go to work and sit on fkn virtual calls I can do at home while dealing with dogshit WiFi. If I lived 15 mins away I wouldn't care about it tbh; but I drive 80 miles a day + gas + tolls + unnecessary car mileage to do sh-t I can do at home.

I took my computer to tech central last week because I hadn't used it in years - a test machine - and they told me Dell took all the LAN wires, switches and routers out for LAN connectivity as they never planned on having anyone RTO... Yet, here we are.

Being forced to work in half baked offices with not enough docks or desks, being forced to park half a mile away from your building, INSANE cafe prices for food that is sub-par at best - and most is bought from freakin HEB (grocery store) lol.. all while raises are comical and promotions are non existent.

I love my job and unfortunately rely on those paychecks so, I'll be a good peon and go in

The only tech trend that SAP will ever be on top or in front of is "SAP." We hold ourselves back in regard to real progress, implementation, innovation because we can't do a damn thing without stopping to talk about it. We are rewarded not for our tangible contributions but for our ability to blend in with broader tech culture. We work for children who have a pretend business. Not a company of responsible businessmen with ideas and proper ambition.

mgmt will decide who to lay off based on complex factors such as personal disputes, retaliation, preserving dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often arising from cycles of poor judgment, limited opportunity, trauma, and loyalty, with layoffs frequently intensifying through social contagion and misidentification within social networks.

How about you all step up and actually be leaders.

F*ck you and your buffaloes!

I was a contractor at Exxon a few years on a year long contract. When they got rid of me after I got their project done faster than expected they told me I was more than welcome to come back.

I have had at 4 instances where I was the right person for the job and right when things get moving in the right direction i get ghosted. Apparently I am not the right person to play in their dollhouse, which is fine. THEN STOP CALLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because you like wasting your time doesn't mean others like it. And judging by the posts on this site, a lot of others don't like it either.

So instead of prank calling people to come play at your unrewarding shitehole, just grow up and do something productive like seggs work on 45!

of a company

Just saying.

The time has come for Dell employees and the company to realize the future won’t include either

Gets worse every year.

heading to market basket than to get gas with out punching out , when i get back maybe play some solitaire on the company website , their go Onsemi go look at everyones company computer do a search lol. oh boy what u will find

Target really doesn’t owe us anything. At the end of the day we work for Target and they allow us to. It’s a blessing to have a job. There is so much entitlement and it’s wild. If you don’t like how target is running their business don’t work for them. Target has literally nothing to do with what is going on right now. They don’t have to make a public statement if they don’t want to. I would hope they would have reached out to those TMs and their families but that’s their own business. We don’t have to be involved in every situation.

It’s two hours in the focus rooms. Two hours you arrogant, inconsiderate, selfish workers. Yes there are a multitude of you who just think you own a focus room. Sorry you’re not that important because if you were you would be in Hudson Yards.

I'll get us started: cleaning public restrooms at a highway rest stop, selling vacuums door to door in the rain, or doing the overnight shift at a deserted gas station. The ideas are honestly endless once you think about it. Who else has a good one?

He blows cash as he damn well pleases. This new Plano fiasco is a prime example. When will he ever learn that he is a born loser, and as such, he will never do the thing for at&t. Please leave at&t now, you've done more than enough damage.

Says it all really

Eliza is trash and so called digital employee is just a lie!

Just work as prescribed 9-5 M-F. A lot of you took advantage and worked between morning golf and afternoon tennis times timeslots after Covid and forgot what working normal hours are. Many canceled daycare and started bringing your older kids to and from school on company time. Human nature to do so but welcome back to collaboration and teaming up in the office. Has been done for over a century. You had to abuse the freedom, didn't yall?

Go figure out yourself. Jokers on this board have no creativities.

ATT Leadership are generally shitheads. Say it isn't so.

It's 12/25 and luckily unlike the past couple of yrs the MOA Corporate Grinch hasn't ruined the holidays again. But tonite I'm in California stuck in front of the TV watching the Grinch on the Peacock network.

What really pis_ses me off is the fact that very own 401K plan is so pathetic compared w/our competitors like ADP. No self directed brokerage option. No managed account option. Very few if any new funds or fund line up changes. No new educational materials. No financial planning opportunities. It's total BS how the plans lacks true fiduciary oversight.

Company gets sued over their own plan--no changes. Company freezes pension--no changes but only cut backs to 401k benefits. No enhancement. Company needs to watch it as there could be lawsuits in the works over the 401k plan.

For crying out loud it is 2026 and still no SDBA or managed options ?

No wonder clients are leaving. They see no enhancements to their plans either like we don't see any to ours. Clients see no brokerage. No new funds. No new education. No managed.

Work to Rich and the Board this Christmas night---give us the present we deserve. Give us a competitive retirement plan. Give out clients the same present wrapped in a bow. A better retirement plan. If you keep your in action up and don't improve our plan and their's either, you will find yourself out of a job in 15 more months.

Step it up Fu.ck.u

The C-Suite has no clothes.

That’s not news to anyone. That’s an acknowledgment of what we all know. The 10s of Billions lost (not to mention the opportunity cost which may well be more expensive) is a direct result of the awful strategic decisions made by Ford’s pathetic executive team.

What’s the purpose of saying this? So that those leaders who want to play pretend and have successfully seeded this “the entire industry sc--wed up” narrative with their media lackeys get this message: you are to blame. You failed us. You failed our customers. And we all know you know it.

It has been obvious since the beginning of the EV cycle that the demand wasn’t there. The value proposition has never had widespread appeal. The working class - remember them? - isn’t lining up to pay more for a less capable, less convenient solution with less resale value, a shorter lifespan and horrible supporting infrastructure. If you didn’t know this, you should resign immediately.

Did you need to flush ~40B dollars down the drain (who got rich from this fiasco - that begs for some investigation) in order to figure out that your core customer base didn’t want to pay more for far less? Or did you think the government was going to ram them down all of our throats and that you would sit back and be the benefactors of a command economy?

Oh, and don’t think we all didn’t notice that you inflated the pricing of all your ICE vehicles to subsidize your abominable strategy.

How about we focus on improving the products people want to buy? You know, the ones that actually sell. Or, will it be some more outside hires from Silicon Valley to come and show us all how to execute the next scam? My money is on the latter.

Worst reorg ever!
2 weeks in and no all clear, no conference calls letting you know what's happening. 4 cryptic emails that made about as much sense as Athina getting promoted. No maps of the new structure, just some covert calls letting some people see the details, HR controlling the invitee list. The names of those we lost trickle out slowly usually by a full mailbox on Outlook or an extended vacation status. No relief to the stress caused by uncertainty, rumors already flying about Februarys next slash job. Dead weight is still employed good people let go a dozen days before Christmas! Lopsided top tier brass still clueless, off shoring still in play, cr-ppy raise and bonus is your reward for another year of trying to stay afloat!

I have said it before and I will say it again, anything that Sprint touches fails in the end. Look out T-Mobile legacy employees... I give you 5 more years before Sprint pulls T-Mobile USA into bankruptcy. Sprint and everything Sprint was and is cancer. Good luck with it all, you will need it!

So we buy WB, for $80b, sell for $40b, then watch a bidding war for it as it gets resold? Thats what you people call a genius leader. Board won’t do anything cause it’s filled with other flunkies who weren’t popular with the worker bees. If you have to tell me how great you are….you’re probably not very good at what you do.

1. COULD HAVE OPEREATED IN TEXAS BUT JOBS GIVEN TO CWA EAST COAST PUKE WAY BACK IN 2000.

VERIZON LOST 4.5 TO 5 BILLION ON OATH.

CEO WALKS FREE. LOCK SOME OF THESE FU----S UP.

This Forum reflects the need for significant headcount reductions in 2026. We struggle with any decision for increased investment while AT&T continues to retain these bad seeds. They tarnish the value of your Product. AT&T could have a bright future if the tougher decisions are made to prevent further decline.

I had worked for Ericsson and Hans was a wrecking ball. Layoffs all over. I moved to AT&T and that wasn’t better. So… I went to VZ. And what the he-l, they hired Hans. Then the cuts started. What I want to know is who is going to be held responsible for VZ loosing the top spot in wireless? So give 20 million for failure? For his departure! BS in my opinion!

From folks who say, "The company doesn't have to give severance..." or "other companies do much less....".
What EFFIN BS.
Yes, WF HAS to provide severance. They have to abide by the employee handbook which they have published. For all you mo--ns out there who think WF is going above and beyond....LMAO! You are d-mber than a bunch of rocks!
WF HAS to abide by what they have committed to in their publications.
Yes, they can change it. But that will take time. They'll have communicate it, have to allow time for it to become policy. Even then, there will be challenges. Likely - as WF is wont to do, they'll sc--w some simply due to bad management or personal grievances. But, overall, any changes in policy will take time and have to be announced well in advance.
So to those of you who say, OH! But they are so awesome, they give sooooo much in severance!
I say to you, what a bunch of buffoons. You su-k. Totally and literally. Get a grip. WF only gives severance to shut folks up after a long tenure, then pittances for them. Why doesn't anyone talk about the employment contracts Sr. Executives get? With guaranteed bonus, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed yearly increases (based on actual, things that are written down)?
Yep, what a bunch of losers that decry what we, the workers complain about. We, the workers - are due MORE. MORE than what we are getting when we are thrown to the curb!!!
Just saying, had to get that off my chest. OK everyone, go back to your bingo games.....LOLOLOL

I hate the people here. Fu--ing rude and obnoxious.

They say they are going to change, but dear God in heaven when is one iota of change for the better going to happen?
This is like the worst bad relationship your parents told you about.
They say they are going to communicate more… they don’t. When they do it’s more words, less action.
They have made you lose a lot of good friends aka coworkers, for reasons you still have no idea of. There are still way too many bosses.
So help me if someone tries to say they are going to bring Tar-jay back I am going to scream. It’s over. It’s like Mean Girls and Fetch. Stop trying to make it happen. These are NOT your guests anymore. Why can you not understand this?
And speaking of not understanding your guests, you really had a great idea
with the grab bags, but you failed. Aside from the winners, I cannot even fathom who would be impressed or happy with what was in that bag. There is better and more sh-t presently in my vehicle than what was in that bag. And you hyped it up, to our guests. Who waited for it, thinking it was something great! You couldn’t even load it with snacks? A $5 gift card? Jesus anything? My kids birthday gift bags are better and we are poor.
I feel like you are just sabotaging the company now with these decisions. Trying to tank all of us.
There are so many of us who still and who did bust their a-s for this company, and for what? THIS?!

Really, that's it. I just needed to say it and get it off my chest.

the place is a ghost town.

Verizon is in this situation because of poor leadership, which was replaced with poor leadership, which is now being replaced by more poor leadership.

Just once, has any of these feckless leaders held themselves responsible? I mean they blame the economy, they blame COVID, they blame the employees. But they never take responsibility.

Isn't that literally in the credo?

But, it is the employees who will suffer. Hans will never have to worry about buying groceries, or losing thier home or paying medical expenses. Neither will Dan. They care about nothing and no one else.

The are typically sociopaths (and yes, there are peers reviewed scientific studies that show this).

Just once...
