What in the absolute feck. We're not even allowed to pick our own desktop backgrounds anymore? Talk about micromanaging...
@dr While Michael Lacorazza is remote he can look at his family pictures at his desk rather than at a picture a drunk took that they is set as our wallpaper
Can't mention the wallpaper without also mentioning THE BANK ADS we now also get as screensavers peddling our sh!tty products to us.
Michael Lacaroza is the id--t behind this policy. As CMO he makes up things along the way. GK is weak so she just says yes to the id1ots in her boat
I remember years ago having a cubicle filled with family photos and special things my kids made. It was a way to feel connected to my loved ones. It might seem immaterial but it made all the difference in the world for me. They took that away. Now you cant even have one tiny bit of individuality with the desktop wallpaper. It’s unreal.
Does Gunjan feel we need to be ground done and made to feel like machines?? Does she not understand how people work?
Who are these sociopaths running the company? What happened to the Bank I used to know?
Probably the same person who mandated that phone numbers use dots instead of dashes in our signature lines. That was a thing about 7-8 years ago.
@a6 Pretty sure she thought it was about the wallpaper on the physical walls. "I mean, it's one banana, Michael"-type CEO.
At least let us choose a solid color background FFS, I don't like squinting at my icons on top of the damned stadium windows.
When RTO rolled out and people complained they couldn’t keep pictures up, someone even suggested putting those pics on your wallpaper. No more!!
Slight irony here is that the allowed images look like the stock Windows/MSN defaults, so it doesn’t really read as brand-specific. If we’re standardizing, it’d be nice if it actually reflected our brand — or left room for small personal touches, especially for folks who hotel in office.
We have a guy in our office so mad about this! He lost his kids and dogs pics, the reasons he commutes an hour each way. I wonder if this is his tipping point.
And GK totally botched the question on this in yesterday’s town hall. Said she never knew we had wallpapers in the office…what?? They were taking about our laptop wallpaper but she can probably still change hers as she pleases so she didn’t know.
This wouldn’t be so aggravating to me if they weren’t making us to come into an office where we don’t have an assigned space. We spend most of our awake day at work. With not having an assigned space they took away our ability to personalize our work spaces. Even if it is just a picture frame of our loved ones, that means something to some of us.
With them taking away wallpaper personalization they have took away the last thing that we could personalize.
Brand consistency? WTF… it’s our personal desktop, who cares?
Treating us like machines.
No pictures of family in your cubicle, for brand consistency
How much does the genius who spent a few months cooking this stupid BS up make? I have to sit in a grey, boring cubicle every day because I don't have a desk now I can't even have a wallpaper. These people...
