@1c6 voluntary layoffs haven't been a thing since before covid.
Now it's just random lightning that destroys whole groups. Cutting with a hatchet, not a scalpel.
I am nearing 58 and I am actually hoping for a layoff which i could volunteer
You don't need a desk if you don't have a job.
Buckle up: layoffs are coming.
Will BB mandate back to full 5 day work week ? That would help to drive some more people to resign
@an Target just mandated 150 employees move back to MN or be let go.. watch what you wish for.. or maybe having a job is really optional for you??
They turned my R&D lab into an effing sales office, they made my entire group redundant and sales are a fully remote function anyway. No point expecting logic anymore.
@a3 he laughed it off because he literally didn't understand the term.
You can tell the guy hasn't ever heard of hot desks.
As far as he knows. The problem isn't that we don't have assigned desks; it's that we're fighting over the desks that are available because we all want to be in the office.
Just phenomenally out of touch.
Backpack = Chiropractor appt$
Has anyone tried saying they'll come in if they are assigned a desk? If so, how did that go?
@a3 but hey - he got the grill up and running on Friday's (when hardly anyone is here) and he doesn't even pay for his meals.
Must be nice to make millions and still get free lunch while the rest of us are paying to get to work.
80 percent of our team is remote while 20 percent come to office to join others in team calls. If you account for unpaid labor just for commute time, it is about 10-15k per year. Actually this is a punishment to people coming to office.
Consider it an opportunity to engage in spontaneous collaboration and cross-functional communication. Embrace it.
Someone brought it up at the town hall, and BB laughed it off and then complained they didn't have soup on Fridays for him, because, well, he likes soup.
