Did anyone else just basically shut down mentally with the news today?
Really struggling and doomscrolling. This is going to su-k.
Did any work get done today or did we all just fall into a mental void.

@a3 great. Then you'll be on here whining you can't understand why you were Rif'd or didn't get a bonus or shares. Tantrum throwing makes you look like a fool
Hard to care about 'operational excellence' or hitting KPIs when they just nuked the only thing that made the grind sustainable. The jump from 1 week in/1 week out to a full 5-day blitz is just such a massive rug-pull. My productivity isn't just zero today - it’s in the negatives.
I can’t get any work done in the office. The volume is too loud, I’m not talking about people eating, just the conversations and annoying bullying that is passed off as joking.
At least where I sit the culture is so toxic and everyone openly hates each other. I don’t want to go in and have to deal with all the passive aggression
@av she might be miserable but she's the owner and can call the shots
Same… I’m stressed out.
She's miserable and she wants us to be miserable too.
The upper elite here absolutely thrive on stuff like this. They had to include a good amount of uncertainty even with today’s internal notifications. They know exactly how it will impact people. Then why do it? Why put tens of thousands of people through that? With inflation how it is, gas prices, etc. Maybe because that’s their sick, twisted goal. To thoroughly reduce the quality of our lives. Maybe because they sold their soul for company shares and huge houses, realizing it doesn’t bring them anything. Live your life.
@a9 - That's what they want. Don't give it to them.
Same! I struggled to do any actual work and just commiserated with friends who are also stressed. So far I know 1 planning to resign, 1 retire, and another considering retiring.
Same
I cried
Same. I ignored everyone on teams, did my bare minimum work and signed off early. Fock this place, they aren’t getting any effort out of me anymore.
Same can’t focus on work , also with fear of what’s coming next week almost impossible to do any work
All a part of the plan to get people to quit. Are layoffs next? We'll see.
