Why can’t we retire the ticketing systems?

We spend millions on a ServiceNow pork roll and still we have many ticketing systems. Is there a plan to retire anything or just increase capex/opex year over year? Leaders need to have a serious discussion over some disco fries and work this out... — read more 

Do better, T

Another day in this glorified popularity contest - management rewards clout over competence while we scrape by with laughable pay and benefits. Every day I ask myself why am I still here.

New average hours report was still wrong

It was still wrong all the places. Seems like they can never make it right. This week office hour calculation was wrong. This time they even can not count hours!!

Work $uks

Can you actually believe

Return to Office, or Return to Ego?

Internet air

Off subject of the website but good for general question. Anyone know why we don’t get a discount on internet air yet?

I just can't get motivated amymore.

It's sad, but I really, really hate my job, hate at&t, and I hate most all of my coworkers. I try to approach every Monday as a new start but it's useless. I love the money I make her, doubtful I could get this salary elsewhere. Is there anything, in... — read more
