We need better managers
My manager shows flashes of competence but mostly lives in reaction mode. When things go south he's more likely to add pressure than solutions. I wish leadership training came with the job. Imagine where we would be if we had management that was... — read more

Fire the id--ts that should be interfacing systems together
How fuc_ing stupid is a company that knowingly wastes 20% of its employees time do to having to log in to disparate systems many many times a day. Fire these incompetant people and get real engineers that know how to make this all seamless!

Are the new scripts crashing the site for anyone else?
To read anything, I have to hit the stop button before the page finishes its task. It's turned to absolute garbage.
Layoffs today
It seems some folks got laid off today. Anyone can share any info?
No wonder the stock price change
When you listen to leaders that sound disjointed and are so rattled they can't even hold a train of thought. Jeez.
Share price
Share price down after results? What’s going on? More layoff ahead ?

Women leaders
Earlier this week, my post was removed from here. Hours later, HR quietly pinned a “Team Player” award on my profile, one I never applied for and don’t want. What I actually asked for was a clear growth path. Instead, my manager (who still calls... — read more

Hard work means nothing in this place
You do your best, put in the hours, deliver results, and still get ignored while someone who spends lunch gossiping with management gets promoted. It’s disgusting. I’m done wasting energy trying to prove myself to people who reward bootlicking over... — read more

Todd Cione All Hands
Quoting Proverbs. He is starting to get desperate. I wonder if that's because he knows who is new boss will be and recognizes he will soon be without a job.
George Schindler from CGI added to Board of Directors
