If only we could ask the real questions at the corporate update. There's a reason "anonymous questions will not be answered" - they don't want the real questions.

The EC should give thought to seeing through our eyes. Giving half of our waking hours for YEARS to making the company brighter and better, and making clients' experiences happier, only to be betrayed again and again and again and AGAIN. And then to... — read more 

It’s laughable that the same firm pushing psychological safety training sent out that long-winded, cr-ppy email reminding everyone they’re replaceable. Do these jokers really think they’re fooling anyone with this kind of messaging? However... — read more 

Now everyone knows we let the Mckinsey wolf into the hen house

Rick scoffed and laughed in your face when people dared to ask for RTO updates. How many times would he get that question he asked. Hybrid is working and they are happy with it he said. All the while waiting for the employment market to turn. They... — read more

Put this place in your rear view. Life’s too short.

We’ve truly lost the plot when life becomes nothing more than grinding ourselves down for barely enough to survive. We weren’t made to be machines—but somewhere along the way, we traded our humanity for output and called it progress.

The audacity Renee has to send such an email specifying 8 hours minimum !! She herself is Tcommute. What about the hundreds of hours we put after work during releases, tech lines and priority development work? You think we are robots ? I will put... — read more

“Leadership” giving everyone the middle finger by stating in that email, and I’m paraphrasing, “if you don’t like it you can leave”. They’re basically shutting down any dialogue and signaling that employees are disposable. It ignores the reality... — read more 

We have to send a loud response it's the only way

And let’s be honest, that is the goal. The requirements will just keep getting more ridiculous until enough of us give up and leave on our own. Four days in the office will turn into five, 40 miles will become 50. It’s a cheap, convenient way to thin... — read more 

IC here. Been a while… I check this site every month or so and haven’t seen it this active since the Friday before Oct 2023 layoffs. What a time.. lol Anyways, I guess I always knew deep down that RTO4 (eventually 5) would come to pass. I don’t... — read more 

The engagement survey closes 7/30, and they’re gonna release this RTO update by EOD today. At least we used to pretend they mattered, now it’s so obvious the EC does not care

Why do this?? there has been no reported issues that I know of , that anyone has been abusing this? Jamie from JP Morgan also su-ks and is ugly for starting this bull.

Since RTO, I’m losing at least 8 hours a week commuting. That’s time I used to spend with my family, working out, or literally doing anything but sitting in traffic. It’s draining. And they want to add more to that. No thanks. I'll rather quit. If... — read more 

Its the good old boys club. If something fails they simply switch around leaders from the same pool. Hey Schwab, the problem isn't your employees but your failed leaders.

Is this confirmed? Starts end of Q1 2026. 4 days in office. WFH day is your choice. Exceptions will be gone unless you live >50 miles from an office. OP: @gk+1k0yj1e9x
