Sometimes I look around and realize this place has turned into a waiting room for people hoping to reach retirement before the next round of cuts. The younger ones are already planning their exits and who can blame them? The middle group is stuck trying to decide if it’s worth holding on or if it’s finally time to jump ship before things get even worse.
Meanwhile, the executives keep cashing in and talking about strategic realignment while the rest of us carry the weight and worry about the next reorg. They’ll be fine no matter what happens. The rest of us are just line items on a spreadsheet waiting to be erased.
