Thread regarding Northwestern Mutual layoffs

All these over the top jovial people hanging around campus must drive you guys nuts

Is it ignorance of how bad others have it or gratitude knowing how well off they are compared to those having to find work in a truly apocalyptic employment market? I try to bring a positive attitude everywhere I go but I know many of you are disgruntled for very valid reasons so I try to temper any optimistic outbursts out of respect.

If TG has half a brain he will keep the Franklin campus. Any fool knows Downtown is not the future for anything. JES fell for the smoke and mirrors of Milwaukee city leaders.

Oh, the Franklin building on weekends looks like a burial ground, with fewer lights these days. After NM moved out of business, is there any news on the next employer who would buy the campus?

Seriously, most of long-timers would not make it outside this place.
Take Bug Eyes over there. Zero executive presence, communication's a train wreck (dude says 'like' every other word), body language is a disaster. His projects? Epic fails, all of them.

Agreed, so many people who have been at one company a long time are like old furniture, if they lost their jobs it would be a death sentence

VC couldn’t sell water to a dying man in the desert and landing a job elsewhere is a pipe dream. But he’s got enough folks at NM duped with his smooth talk.

@OP
“I try to bring a positive attitude everywhere I go” (me taking a deep breath 😮‍💨) Guy thinks himself to be annai theresa on a world mission to spread +tivity. Dear you are here chasing AM dream. So sit in one corner and do what mindtree expects you to perform. Gotcha?

It’s not that people are bothered, it’s just straight-up comical now that everyone on campus knows the deal.
We see it with AA and the crew every day. They put on this fake ‘I care’ vibe, but underneath, they’re paranoid, insecure, and will throw anyone under the bus to hide their mistakes. Once you see it you can unsee it :D
