Crazy to consider things could have gotten worse. They have. High ego. High maintenance. Leads with fear and allows ELT to push that fear downward. Get even more done now! Open Enrollment better be perfect! Do even more with less! Get people back into the office! Why aren't we working on weekends? ELT is ramping up pressure across the board and the disconnects are even worse. Plus they pulled in McK and Del because, of course, we can't manage ourselves. This will be an unmitigated disaster in Q4. Disappointing to be sure, but if we were holding out hope for the new guy that did not work out. Clearly does not care for people at all. Plan and prepare accordingly.

Be careful what you wish for
I was trying really hard to get laid off as my EU severance was considerable. I managed finally to get my hard earned money. I do not know what to do with it, just sitting now in bank and ETF fonds. And I have new job with 50% more salary and 20 times more work. Instead of doing minimum/nothing and have 2 hours of meetings per week, one with indian team I lead and other with American manager (who was also laid off recently), now I have to do 40 hours/week and quite often I do few more hours in evenings and weekends. No time to practice guitar anymore, while I worked at dxc I spent my working hours playing... I wish I could again have such a nice work like I had in DXC. If they are hiring, please let me know..
They don't get it
Management thinks they're being smart by continuing to replace older workers with younger, cheaper ones. But they're overlooking that young people have boundaries when it comes to work. They won't work nights and weekends or answer your emails 24/7. Productivity is going to take a hit, and I'm here for it.
Worked all weekend and soaked up double time
Now I’m double time and a half today. Stocking shelves taking my sweet sweet time. None of the TSLs or merch supervisors around and I have another store left. Cool 16 hour+ day. Paycheck is going to be fat!
Try to enjoy your weekend
No matter what. Worrying won't change a thing next week.
Love my Sundays
I always love how the day starts out great. But then my boss gets into her email and starts firing away all sorts of directives and asks. I probably have a few more hours before this nonsense starts. Often wanting a response “ASAP”. Almost all isn’t urgent yet treated that way.
I’m on the clock at all times Monday thru Friday and basically get a Saturday off. This isn’t sustainable.
Anybody else’s boss “lead” in this glorious 2010 fashion? At least we sponsored the NBA Dunk contest, right “see you on the commute guy?? That changes everything.
Weekend playlist?

Terrific Tuesday!!!
Did anyone hit the lottery??? Please God, let it be me!!!!
Support at weekends and holidays
I work for one of their "customers" although that's not how they make us feel. Its almost like they are doing us a favor. It seems to me that whenever I need support for our streaming service, they are off on some holiday or another or just not available.
I think we should get a discount and only pay 5/7ths of the support costs as Friday and Saturday, when we need the most support, are pretty much unavailable.
Logged in by 5:30a this morning . . .
Will be done by 2p today and have 8.5 hours at work. I will be deducting that 1/2 hour from my Friday work day to reduce my average weekly hours to right around 40. Awesome way to start the weekend!
AHHHH It's Friday 1 and done, time to go home.
Averaging over 8 hours for the first 4 days of the week. I subtract that from my Friday hours so I average only 40 hours for the week. Just about time to go. I love the new culture that Stank has created. Have a great weekend. Remember, the Masters is next week so be sure to get bring in your personal tablet to watch from your desk on Thursday!
After this BS - O Rama, who is ready for the weekend?
Is anyone enjoying their breaks?
Stop gifting Fiserv your free time
I do my job and I do it well, just not on nights and weekends. My manager clearly wishes I'd give more of my personal time but here I am, still employed. Guess setting boundaries isn't the career ki-ler they want you to believe.
Can my last day of work be on a Saturday?
If I don’t get laid off tomorrow (Tuesday 2/3) I will resign on bonus payout day 2/13. I have another job lined up but they are very flexible on start day. I need to give 30 days notice at WF, can my last day of work be Saturday 3/14? Or do I need to work until Monday 3/16?
It’s unlikely that I’ll be laid off tomorrow unfortunately.
Weekends
Does Humana UR dept pay nurses a weekend premium to work only weekends?
3 days in office and weekends, how do you feel?

Rights of overworked VSP electors
I've heard of managers rushing projects and expecting VSP resources to work extra hours, including weekends. And possibly give up use-or-lose PTO. What rights do workers have in this situation? Is there any point in reaching out to HR? Or a lawyer?
Weekend Swipes
Does coming into the office over the weekend count as a badge swipe? Could I come in on a Saturday for a few hours and WFH on a mid week day? It's still 5 days a week I would think?
The coming weekend will be shittier than usual
I never really get to rest. A day or two off is never enough to relieve all the stress that builds up over the week. The anticipation of next week will probably make it completely consumed by anxiety.
AM backroom
Did any AM Backroom have their block schedules changed? Now we’re on a rotation with only one weekend day off once a month & some split days… is this happening everywhere or just our club?
Deal Desk (Deal Management..etc)
Wow. After seeing all the layoffs over the years, you’d think I’d have been prepped for this. But no. Over a decade of working 80 hour weeks at times, late nights, weekends during Q-end. Missing weddings, events, time with family. To having my literal career here be laid off in a 5 minute phone call—and a rushed and cold one at that—is mind blowing. Less than a few mins after the call, my laptop was shut down, everything disconnected. The conversation was clearly scripted and completely impersonal. To tell someone they’re losing a job they’ve held for so long, they’re losing their pay and benefits in 14 days and show no compassion or empathy is just wild. What’s worse? Even my own direct manager had no idea. Talk about lack of transparency. Zero appreciation. Everyone is a number here at this company.
Optum Utilization Review RNS getting Forced to work weekends
A new initiative being rolled out to meet 24hr deadline for Medicaid and DSNP TATs is for RNs in the state of issue to work weekends but our nurses that are out of states are not being forced to do so. You can not make 1/2 your team work weekends and holidays if the other half because of residency out of state conflicts with CMA guidelines. This is complete cr-p! How do you justify that??
Another sc--wed up weekend
This company really knows how to monopolize our lives.
