Fireside Chats aren’t all lame

Scene: Corporate office conference room. A banner reads “Forward Together.” It’s hanging slightly crooked.

EMPLOYEE:
Mr. Go-Go, thanks for sitting down with me. Employees have some questions about the company’s direction over the last few years.

GO-GO:
Of course. Transparency is very important to leadership. That’s why my office door has a window.

EMPLOYEE:
Some people feel like the company went from an industry leader to… well… struggling a bit.

GO-GO:
I wouldn’t say struggling. I’d say we’ve entered a period of strategic unpredictability.

EMPLOYEE:
Right. And some employees think leadership decisions might have played a role.

GO-GO:
Impossible. Leadership can’t cause problems. Leadership is what fixes problems. That’s basic leadership.

EMPLOYEE:
One concern I keep hearing about is the risk of employees talking about unionizing.

GO-GO:
Ah yes, unionization. We’ve studied that extensively.

EMPLOYEE:
What did you conclude?

GO-GO:
That employees tend to talk about unions when they’re unhappy.

EMPLOYEE:
That sounds… concerning.

GO-GO:
Not really. Our solution is simple.

EMPLOYEE:
What’s that?

GO-GO:
We encourage employees not to be unhappy.

EMPLOYEE:
Another topic people mention is moving operations away from places like Bartlesville, which some say has been keeping the company afloat.

GO-GO:
Yes, we’re very proud of our strategy there.

EMPLOYEE:
Could you explain it?

GO-GO:
Certainly. Bartlesville has been very reliable for decades. Which means it’s clearly time to move away from it.

EMPLOYEE:
Why would reliability be a problem?

GO-GO:
Complacency. If something works too well for too long, people start expecting it to keep working.

EMPLOYEE:
So the plan is to move resources away from places that are performing well?

GO-GO:
Exactly. Leadership is about bold moves.

EMPLOYEE:
Even if they don’t make sense?

GO-GO:
Especially then. Those are the moves people remember.

EMPLOYEE:
Some employees say the company culture has become dysfunctional.

GO-GO:
I disagree completely.

EMPLOYEE:
You do?

GO-GO:
Yes. Dysfunction requires coordination, and we have very little of that.

EMPLOYEE:
What about morale?

GO-GO:
Morale is very important. That’s why we measure it every year.

EMPLOYEE:
What happens after you measure it?

GO-GO:
We measure it again the next year.

EMPLOYEE:
So what’s your plan to turn things around?

GO-GO:
Simple. We’re forming a task force.

EMPLOYEE:
To fix the problems?

GO-GO:
No, to identify the appearance of problems.

EMPLOYEE:
And then what?

GO-GO:
Then we’ll form another task force to determine whether the first task force should have existed.

EMPLOYEE:
Well… that sounds thorough.

GO-GO:
Leadership always is.

EMPLOYEE:
One last question. Are you confident in the company’s future?

GO-GO:
Absolutely.

EMPLOYEE:
Why’s that?

GO-GO:
Because if things get any worse, expectations will be much easier to exceed.

EMPLOYEE:
That’s… surprisingly reassuring.

GO-GO:
Thank you. Confidence is the cornerstone of leadership.

EMPLOYEE:
Well Mr. Go-Go, I appreciate your time.

GO-GO:
Anytime. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an important meeting.

EMPLOYEE:
About fixing the company?

GO-GO:
No. About changing the banner in this room to say “Strategic Excellence.”

I think it will really boost morale.

(Credit GBT) someone please make a short out of this!!! lol


The art of ki-ling your cash cow

In a stunning display of visionary leadership, Clearlake has decided to let two complete rookies role‑play as CEO and CTO of One Identity.
Their first genius move? Try to fire the entire Identity Manager team and replace decades of hard‑won expertise with an army of low‑cost code monkeys offshore.
Nothing says “strategic innovation” quite like dismantling one of the company’s last profitable products. But hey—let’s just hope the next buyer doesn’t notice the smell of burning cash just yet.


Thoughts on this “Teammates”

The Heritage Foundation Submits Shareholder Proposal to Truist Financial Corporation

S&P Capital IQ
TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION

  • 0.36%
    On March 16, 2026, The Heritage Foundation announced that it has submitted a shareholder proposal from Truist Financial Corporation, requesting the Company to conduct an evaluation and issue a report within the next year, at reasonable cost and excluding proprietary information and disclosure of anything that would constitute an admission of pending litigation, evaluating how Truist?s policies, public statements, and corporate partnerships may be misaligned with the values of its customer base, and how such misalignment may expose the company to significant legal, regulatory, and reputational risk, in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on April 28, 2026.

Dell continues to quietly shrink its workforce

Dell Technologies has reduced its workforce for the third consecutive year, reflecting a broader shift in the tech industry toward AI and efficiency over headcount growth.

I don’t mind working for a company knowing my number could be drawn at any moment. The pressure doesn’t bother me, at least I have a job.

Dell isn’t “failing” it’s evolving.
But the tradeoff is clear - fewer employees, more automation, and a big bet on AI driving the future.

Natural progression for all companies.

Imagine if you will......

A company once so loved by its employees that it was the fortune 500's best place to work. Now imagine this company has a manager with the highest level engineers in the company who have worked and sacrificed for this company to be in the highest IC range. Now imagine that manager has to tell 10% of them that they need improvement despite being the absolute best of the best and head and shoulders above every other engineer in the company. Welcome to the twilight zone.


401k match

Public service announcement - if you were laid off in 2025, you should still receive the company 401k match. It was contributed to accounts on March 13, 2026. Check your 401k accounts to confirm. Also, if you were contributing to the Citi company stock fund through the 401k, you should still be able to vote for shareholder resolutions related to the annual stockholder meeting held during the 2nd quarter, so keep an eye out for that proxy communication.


McKinsey is a Trojan Horse

All European companies hire McKinsey to understand how they can run their business better. But McKinsey is not working for the benefit of these companies or Europe. McKinsey is working for the benefit of billionaires in the US.

Recently McKinsey asked Volkswagen to close 8 of their 10 German factories and lay off almost everyone.

McKinsey is also the reason why the executive board want to fire SAP employees. This entire narrative that SAP should fire almost everyone and replace them with AI comes from US billionaires through McKinsey.

My hot take is that SAP should fire McKinsey. It will save millions that we give them each year. And SAP should focus on innovation instead of using stupid US marketing and laying off employees and making customers angry. Christian Klein is only doing all this because he plans to join the McKinsey Germany board after he leaves SAP. And that's wrong.
