Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

@st I'm not sure if this is poetry or schizoposting

Why would WorkDay affect your WLB?

@xb Quite. They aren't in ANI...fantasy.

Can someone please change the record?

@st
I thought you looked familiar!

The only way I can get through an office day is to get a window seat take a s##t load of Tramadol. Let's just say Jack nicholson at the end of one flew over the cuckoo's nest was in a better condition that some I've ended up in. Well one day while I had 4 hours of Saliva hanging from my chin the plant lifted tried to stick me in his rucksack

@rj they have to catch me first!
And they can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!
I wonder if I could sneak out a photocopier? I could sit on it and cover both it & me with a long overcoat... I'd just have to explain why I'm propelling myself along like a gondolier!

To the plant pot guy, I hope you are pretty confident of securing a position on on the outside once you get what you wish for! Many folks on both sides of the pond continue to struggle with securing positions and some of them very talented! So careful what you wish for!!!

@qg I've never seen pot plants in the Belfast office so not sure where the poster with sticky fingers is located.

Any pot plants up in Strabane? :)

@np you mean the employment laws protecting the employees and guaranteed annual leave of 28+ days a year along with flexible working...yeah, absurd 👍

And free pot plants apparently

I'm actually amazed that we evet employed ANI with all of the absurd EU regulations.

@gq I got away with a pot plant the other day!
I love how folks commenting here are getting annoyed at the thought of lifting a few wee trinkets, mementoes, & seating solutions but no one has been clutching their pearls over my admission that I'm not doing any work & haven't for some time. I think that a few here are on the same wavelength & aren't doing anything more than mouse jiggling.
That reminds me ... gotta pick up a few spare mice & keyboards next time I'm in.
Adiós Amigos!

@jn Allstate Northern Ireland.

@fr educate us, what are you hearing?

With all due respect…I was with Allstate for many years. What is ANI?

Can't speak for the other person but I am selling my work laptop to the highest bidding competitor if I'm ever RIF'd....After of course I get that severance check :)

Theft is theft, hoping you’re joking or they catch you

Ones saying that they are going to mark people down and send them away with no redundancy? Surely not though?

@fc sounds like you’re not listening hard enough.

I've not heard of any redundancies less than 6 months (and highest I heard was 13 months). I've 16 years experience and steady 3s for performance so hoping to be somewhere in middle of those figures

Stealing is not something to be proud of. Tbh speaks volumes about who you are as a person. Not cool my friend!

How will Workday affect work/life balance?

Everyone is either waiting for a payoff or has buried their head in the sand.

Be warned though - the payoff might not be as generous as you expect.
