Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

And so it begins

Managers are scattering and taking time off at the news of the merger happening in 7 days. Looks like things are about to get interesting.

They do nothing all day and hide behind a teams status.

@a2 It’s absolutely necessary that my manager gets a copy of the same daily goal setting document I’ve done for the last couple months, detailing that I’ll be doing the same thing I’ve done every day for the last couple months because failure to do so is a fireable offense.

I have literally been on a call with a VP working through a high-priority JS firedrill.

He told me he had to run the dog out real quick and would return in a minute.

I continued working with the call minimized.

Four hours later he returned. I started questioning him and finally he admitted he left in the middle of the day to meet friends for a round of golf.

@c0

I bet you are not even counting all the time they schedule fake meetings on their calendars or do not attend them so their teams status makes them look like they are in a meeting but really they are not bright enough to realize that if you are really in a meeting, working from home, your status should show “on a call” not “in a meeting” since there is no longer HD Meeting to use as that scapegoat. Add that time off when they are running kids somewhere, going to Starbucks, or going to the grocery store into the mix and they are never working 40 hours a week for that 6 digit salary.

Yeah there are a couple of directors I started tracking OOO. One is OOO every third week for a week ever since the new policy. The other every 3 months takes a 1 month break. Insanity.

Taking as much time off as they can before their unlimited time off perk goes away, as if 1/2 of them do any work anyway.

More than half need to be gone anyway! What do they do when they are at work besides micromanage and sit on a team calls all day?!?
