Oooooh, they went for the talk show format! Cringe-worthy.

@fg old enough to be the reason this place is going down the drain ge---r
@1w8 I don’t get it either. I lose so much respect for leadership when they do this. Like you guys are literally gutting departments with riffs. Merit increases su-k. Our HR leader has basically said to lean into lateral moves cause you’ll probably never get a promotion. But we’ll wear expensive jewelry and watches while we talk to the peons in this company and then beg for PAC money. Fund it yourself jacksss
Why in the actual he-l was Felicia wearing a Hermes scarf and Van Cleef necklace in this environment? What an inconsiderate dope.
Here for a upvote campaign
Finally we found a use for all the AI tools we've been building - downvoting this thread and all the negative comments!
@kd This was a non-riff week. I bet they are making HR get in on the downvote campaign as they don’t have work until the next round of riffs. This is epic level of downvoting. Maybe they programmed a bunch of bots to do it.
Corporate PR staff are desperately working overtime to click multiple thumbs down votes. Sad sods.
I’m taking the massive downvoting campaign on this thread as evidence that some in leadership do lurk here and sent their peers/minions to create an impression that somehow the views expressed here are not representative of the rank-and-file.
It’s quite amusing, actually.
Embarrassing.
They have to wonder, with every interaction, did this person watch, laugh, and post on The Layoff 🤔
Comical.
@fy All of those Directors from the other thread on this site are voting down to these posts and responses so they have that activity as one of their four tasks with metrics to report. They get a point for every down error they hit on this site. :)
All these comments are being down voted. Someone is BIG MAD. So sad, too bad.
@e4 Old enough to have plenty of pertinent industry experience.
Phil Donahue? Just how old are you geezers, anyway?
@ag i just sp-t out my coffee, need a new keyboard
@dg Deservedly so.
The comments here really showcase the disdain employees have for this co.
I was definitely getting flash backs of the Phil Donahue show watching the non-live presentation. I was trying to see where the teleprompters were positioned, but they never came into the frame.
@ba investors reviewed the numbers and then yawned. Vest Boy got it wrong again. Meanwhile, UNH earnings this week resulted in a big run-up.
@ae don’t look up his bonus :/
What do you think caused this shift in town hall format? Do you think they are receiving a lot of negative comments on the survey? Why didn't they review the numbers like they always do?
@ak Oh, Ryan, stop being so sensitive! 🤣
@ak Booo...sssssss
@ag ignorant comment. curious what how you look vs hiding behind a message. I'll name you Cowardly Quipster.
Well damn. Now I’m sad I didn’t bother to join. I hope the send a link for the replay.
Potential upcoming formats include stand up comedy roundtable, poetry slam, American Gladiators competition (to give Gail an edge), and goat yoga session.
Today, on The Spew: guests Aunt Esther and Vest Boy; with your special guest host Liberace!
@a1 reminds me of a talk/news show interview that is actually a shady advertisement.
It's a talk show with a zero wardrobe budget for the vest man.
Im almost impressed at the level of absolute syrupy bs and cringiness throughout. Love that they highlighted alleged success in implementing an AI program over human touch then a dramatic member success story about a human doing the job that they do 100x everyday. More of the same circlej--killusionary performance.
Dont forget to "lean into" the increased work to fill gaps for the RIF'ed and getting your extra bs training and tuition for absolute bs institutions instead of being compensated or promoted for the work you've actually been doing.
Honestly, the employees need this kind of support too someone to advocate for us internally, because we’re not fine. Nobody’s fine. Every other meeting is ‘new changes are coming,’ but nothing is clearly communicated, and what is coming never feels concrete. The only thing that feels certain is the possibility of layoffs.
GB looking like the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters in the outfit.
@a8 memo template 😖 ok
I wonder who they have from HR downvoting this post 🙃
@a4 just lean into it and all will be well!
I’m actually impressed. There was literally not a single tangible takeaway or item mentioned between the 3 of them. Soundbite after soundbite. I’ve heard more concrete plans and vision in a presidential debate, and that’s saying something.
Who are these people 😫
Why is ownership unclear?
certain higher ranked associates will take your finished work, retaliate if we say no.
The amount of buzzwords used and nothing really said is crazy.
This was definitely teleprompter worthy! SMH. No authenticity whatsoever.
Reading from an off camera teleprompter. Why can’t they just speak with out the script?
