Lost focus on what matters
These days, this whole place is about chasing trends and looking busy rather than actually improving anything. People cheer for whatever is flashy instead of doing work that counts. It is frustrating to watch effort go into things that really do not... — read more
WTF is my performance plan? Have they forgot or don't care.
I am still waiting for my dpc plan. I asked again and was told they were working on it. Everyone else is doing theirs now and are 2 weeks into it. Either exxon doesn't care or they are letting me fail purposely. I would like to see what the he-l they... — read more

I Told You About BTC Being Obsolete After Ai! - Oracle just started the RIFs in India

I no longer even try
I stick to just what’s expected at work now and save my energy for my own life. Giving more to a company that would PIP you for no reason in a second isn’t worth it. It’s easier to focus on what matters outside the office.
