Why is no one talking about how stock together was removed without notice or a heads up. Make sure your paying attention to your 3% raises, ST is gone.
Do you want to be laid off?
Sometimes it feels like people are rooting for layoffs with the way they keep predicting them. Every other post tries to guess the date, as if saying it enough will make it happen. When something is official, we will hear about it. Until then, maybe... — read more

Signs of layoffs
I was talking to a friend the other day and he said he always knows layoffs are coming at his company because managers basically go missing for weeks and routine meetings get canceled. Do we have something that? Has anybody noticed any similar or... — read more
Contract extension all but done
Done and gone
At what stock price will the naysayers admit that Dan was the right choice for us?
Dan gets a lot of flac for his cutting, but this company is like a terminally ill patient that needs an infestation of tumors removed. At some point he will have the stock at a proper value.
Chill
Sit back, relax. We will continue to contract out all the actual work. Do a bit every day, just to stay in shape, everything else will be contracted out.
I had my appraisal done and oh boy was it funny. I would have loved to know the prompts they used.
My direct either has a fetish for Victorian English or they are using weird prompts in AI. I kid you now, it feels like it was written as if he were going to be laid off anyway, It was great! Stupid and great. Though I guarantee he had no clue what... — read more

Like it even matters who or what wrote the reviews
They're mostly just tools to push people out. Rarely do they reflect someone’s real performance, or the value in terms of skills, experience, or productivity. And let's be honest, the higherups aren’t exactly brilliant either. Hard to see much of a... — read more

Is it a good idea to accept a job at Verizon right now?
Do people get laid off within the first several months of employment? I desperately need a job, but I don't want to join, stop my search, and end up on the street again within months. Thanks in advance.
Any word?
Anyone hear anything about negotiations? Today is the last day they have scheduled for any talks.
Oh baby, block (xyz) stock replacing staff with AI
Dan was right with AI, employees will be replaced. 3 hours ago - Block Inc. announced a 40% workforce reduction to adapt to an AI-driven business model, triggering a 20-24% surge in its stock price.
How are managers getting away with not understanding what they claim the wrote.
Forget getting laid off, people will start just leaving on their own if we’re too lazy to write appraisals. Come on, how did they get hired if they can’t pronounce the words AI gave them. And don’t forget that clown last night who was talking all... — read more
