All of the execs in their town halls used to repeat over and over the importance of skills pivoting
And in the last year and a half or so, almost nothing from any of them. It's almost as if they knew from day one that all of the training made available was useless, trivial information and that the meme of employees having to update their skills and... — read more

Any Update On Legacy "T' "Old Long Distance" Contract?
D4 members, reject this agreement!
