Isn’t about time for another tone deaf town hall meeting while the company is having large layoffs this year?
Don’t know about you but I’m ready for more kitchen recipe videos or telling us how they are going to spread the peanut butter, give some extra money to one employee and talking about same ole retread company cliches of purpose, culture, mission, goals, etc… If they would only be more detailed and specific instead, they spend most of the time introducing and self promoting themselves, their backs are sore from patting it and they lips become sore from kissing up.
Watch the expressions on the captive audience, you can tell most of them would rather be somewhere else but know they have to be there because of company politics. It’s like watching a communist meeting, they only perform (smile and clap) when asked or the camera swings their way.
If we are lucky the last 10-15 minutes the main host will answer and fumble around carefully selected questions or not answer at all but instead talk about something else till time runs out. If they would only be more transparent with substance and act like they care about the employee by giving real direction then answering tough questions about concerns and issues.
What a waste of time and resources so for me the best option is to click on the stream and hit low volume or mute!
