Once this was a company employees would be proud of working for but now it’s just a shadow of its former self.
We career from one RIF to the next whilst being told by disingenuous leaders that AI will take care of everything.
Work from the office, no work from home as you won’t have an office. Use google, no Microsoft…no Google etc etc.
There is a total lack of honesty or transparency from leaders. They are all running scared and frantically trying to get on the “relevance” lifeboat. Forget “women and children first”…these guys are cowards only interested in covering their own backs and surviving.
No strategy, no communication, just chaos.

There isn’t any point if you want to retain a modicum of self-respect and a good sense of self-awareness. Leadership is stuck in a trap of narcissism and self-preservation
@bc well said. Escaping the negative energy and environment is a must
@OP Focus your energies on having a good exit strategy! Take advantage of the free online training, tuition reimbursement, etc…
I know it’s easier said than done but it’s better than hanging on to a bad situation without a plan.
@as grammar na-i
@OP poor grammar and spelling kinda torpedo your message. Try better next time.
I’m so burned out I’m 80% charcoal
Sad but true. I have sacrificed much in the name of my career and now I've just had the life drained from me. I show up. I do my job, but not with the zest and ambition I once had. I think some of it is age (mid-fifties) but MOST of it is being tired of the neverending looming RIF. It's exhausting to always feel expendable. I wish I could be that positive voice in the storm that I once was, but unfortunately the passion is gone.....it's a job now.
I work in Lake Mary and have next to no responsibilities. The point for me is easy money doing nothing. This is the only place I’ve worked where there is no performance management and I’ve been getting away with it for a decade. Proud to be vz!
@a4 I saw too many people get promoted and then RIF. What’s the point if you do everything right and your reward is you get fired?
@a3. Same. Above and beyond is dead. Zero chance of advancement so why bother. Just maintaining between RIFS. Why bother . Sad but true
The only point I see is money. No career path, no job satisfaction, just money.
