Haven’t had a good RIM job in years! :0
That awkward moment when the RIM job failed overnight is the last thing that made sense.
And you still stalking this page? Please go and find yourself a life!
Keep on trying. You're worth it.
Yeah, that's me. I keep waiting for the axe. Two years of searching for a replacement gig and nothing has gone through. That is the most frustrating part; despite accomplishments, not even work as an overnight manager at a burger chain panned out. No I'm not at the Ivory Tower, just a long timer who never meant to be.
5 years ago implies you were laid off in 2016. That means you stayed for 3 years after they laid off 10% of the work force. You stayed 5 years after they began attacking people with 15+ experience. What made you stay even after all of that? Why were yo surprised when it happened to you?
follett is a poor company. It's poorly run. It has poor leadership. It can't transition past the influence of 2 families, so it will not survive.
There is a lesson here; if you think it wont happen to you, it will. At some point you will have been in the same position too long. You're paid too much (in the myopic, abusive view of follett). You have no value (to follett). You'll be laid off or run out. That's what they do. That's what they've done for nearly 10 years.
Yes, laying off dedicated associates that have a direct impact on your revenue stream (aka your customers) to the point that it affects your customer service while spending $50 million dollars to remodel someone else's building (The Ivory Tower) to make it better than Google does sound like a business decision. A REALLY BAD BUSINESS DECISION. Put the money where it impacts your bottom line not the Family's ego!
The family deserves to fail. Have another drink TL!
BAD business decisions.
Still salty
