We have reached peak delusion.
We’re a complete financial disaster, yet we’re building a new multi-billion dollar campus nobody wants, and this leadership actually thinks the Street isn’t going to react?? The fact that Stink sits in his office talking about and arguing over the... — read more
Do you know what my favorite memory of this place is?
Losing both my direct and skip level managers in a single layoff round I survived. Both were complete a--holes, so to say that was one of the best days of my life would be an understatement. Yes, there was a lot of confusion and issues until... — read more

Why are we boycotting the survey?
I’m just wondering why I shouldn’t leave a scathing review. Do the suits get graded on survey participation instead of the actual survey responses?

Do not cave- remember 8/1/25
Well, it’s here. DO NOT TAKE THIS SURVEY. And don’t reply to this with dimwitted comments about how you’re going to hammer them. They don’t care about your comments or your ratings. Couldn’t give less of a flying flip. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS... — read more
