What real estate is actually getting sold off?

These people keep getting spared every layoff and they're the ones at the water cooler, long overdue for retirement. They are good at showing up on time in a crisply ironed shirt with a positive attitude, much like the old IBMers. But as far as... — read more

Does anyone know when the next red chair photoshoot is and how to sign up?

I heard so far that the head count its actually more than the amount of desk in the “New Miami Headquarter”, Could it be just a simple strategy to get rid of more people? At the end of the day we can agree that the acquisition of Frontier would be... — read more 

Got word today that the SVP is gone "retiring". Wild news, sounds like more to follow. Usually this is the fuse that lights the fire. Layoffs and a reorg are definitely coming to CS. Makes sense though, you can't have 2 SVPs over CS and Retail.

Anyone who's spent five seconds using them knows that Excel is way better than Sheets than what you'd get from say, Copilot vs. Google Gemini. Are they trying to destroy my productivity? I already know the answer. You complete fu--ing mo--ns.

There’s only so much we can take mentally, and people are already stretched thin. We need a break, a real one, and it should be at least six months without constantly worrying about layoffs. Otherwise, I genuinely think people are going to start... — read more

Looks like I’m done. Severance is as least good still. Godspeed lake Mary.
