New hires

As painful as it is to admit this, the future batches of young, new hires, will do a fine job for T. As an old timer, it’s hard to admit that my skills can easily be replaced at a lower cost. Just a sad fact of life, I suppose.

When will we know?

WW84 AS ROTTEN

WW3 is on a fast track. Do you guys think Stankey will listen and cancel WW3 or continue to bleed money ? This will be interesting to watch as this will show how detached C-siute is to reality.

Whining - no skills

So many posts here are just whining about where their choices in life led them to. You wouldn't be so scared of being laid off if you had a marketable skill-set.

Will anyone be able to build a career here anymore?
