Leaning towards “just lay me off already”. Not that I expect a better workplace elsewhere in today’s corporate world, but I’ll get to watch other faces being equally incompetent and stabby. Staying for too long in one toxic environment becomes stale fast. When you move around, it can be even entertaining. Especially when you realize that whether you fear for your job or not, you're going to lose it soon anyway to current fashion of cr-ppy management by cuts.

Well said. Specially within ECIO I can feel it. Oh, the platform team at ECIO? The undisputed champions of micromanagement, especially when it comes to Jira work! It's like they've turned micromanaging into an art form.
First, they start with the daily stand-ups that are more like daily interrogations. Every ticket is scrutinized with the intensity of a high-stakes courtroom drama. "Why is this task taking so long?" "Have you updated the status in the last five minutes?" They must believe that real-time updates are the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.
And let's not forget their obsession with the Jira comments. If you haven't left a detailed essay on every little progress made, be prepared for a barrage of questions. Because clearly, writing comments is much more productive than, you know, actually doing the work.
Then there's the mandatory sprint planning sessions that could easily be mistaken for hostage negotiations. Every task is dissected down to the nanosecond. "Are you sure this will only take three hours and not three hours and fifteen minutes?" Because, obviously, those extra fifteen minutes could make or break the entire project.
Of course, the pièce de résistance is their legendary Jira dashboards. Oh, the dashboards! Updated so frequently that you'd think they're tracking the stock market. Color-coded, graph-laden monstrosities that must have taken more time to create than the actual tasks being tracked.
In summary, the platform team at ECIO doesn't just micromanage Jira work; they elevate it to a whole new level of unnecessary complexity. If only they realized that sometimes, less is more. But hey, where's the fun in that?
I’m not indifferent to it, I’m actively praying for it lmao I would volunteer in a split second for that severance.
Audit exec leaving is not a good look
Which Bank executive? There’s a lot that are starting to disappear quietly.
There's a rumor that an executive in Bank has been given sixty days to look for a job. Is this the start of the layoffs?
Me either. I think there will be some in August but I’m not sure.
I wouldn’t mind getting laid off for that 12 month severance pay in bank
