Is it the usual or have they changed anything?

We were told every day is a drop in location at Bedminster. So why do people have personal stuff (including plaques) at "open" desks? Name plates also....

It's really quiet in my org, no notifications, nothing. Is it possibly done already?

We keep hearing June 15th but are now hearing about other dates things will be announced. Anyone know?

We used to do them in June, are they now switched back to March?

But where did the 5/28 date came from?

Any area we know for sure is safe?

We all know this is far from over, so when will it continue?

I'm starting to go crazy trying to keep all the rumors sorted and figuring out what could be true and what's definitely not. It's exhausting.

So nervous about today, I can't function!

Do we think the project will be completed on schedule, or is it heading toward another FNV4 situation?

Meaning, has anybody heard anything about layoffs lately?

Yahoo Finance: "Boston Scientific (BSX) and Abbott (ABT) are appearing on recent near-low screens." - OK, we get it. It's bad. Not sure about layoffs tho...

That are your thoughts?

Should I open a wager on PolyMarkets?

Penny’s profile image on Amplify news stories feels like she’s laughing at us.

Have people already been notified?

Not for good, of course, but is there any chance we'll go back to having one major round a year and being done with it?

It clearly falls outside the confines of the CHIP Act intent.

Article also points out how utterly ridiculous the idea of a "quantum chip foundry" is in 2026.

That’s what makes all of this so hard. I actually like what I do. Watching what’s been happening here, and seeing a place that used to be great get systematically torn down piece by piece, really breaks my heart.

The most recent mandatory course on fincrimes included an example of bad things happening when firms operate outside the law - the GS Malaysian corruption scandal that cost GS $600 million to settle. Anyone wanna guess the initials of one of the GS execs implicated. (Google it)

Will AI replace Dan and his leadership team? 😅

Is SAP still a software company? CK opened with this question at Sapphire.

There are more and more reports of SAP moving away from creating software products. And CK wants SAP to become the largest private and public sector data store for Palantir. What is the strategy even?

And if AI is good enough to make decisions, why are we not replacing our executives with AI?

I foresee a giant push back from the public sector when they realize that SAP is simply looking to get acquired by Palantir.

Any insights on any new suspicious things happening at imperial?

Have the people pushing this ever actually used AI for anything real? Yeah, you can automate some boring stuff, but you could do that with regular code, and you wouldn't have to babysit it. Plus, AI doesn't create anything new. It never will. Once we're gone, who's left to train it? Game over. Makes zero sense to me.

A hidden camera was set up in the conference room, here’s how it went down.

just realized it's the same guy who so proudly said he had chatgpt draft up a 6-year college admissions plan for his 11 year old child, down to which private school to go to lol

I have relatives visiting from out of state that wanted to see it, I was ready to take them down there for dinner until I saw this article. The family agrees it’s better to look at photos online.

It sounds like there was an email from higher ups admitting some kind of fault or issues? Any details for the laid off among us?

What program do you use frequently that has a terrible user interface design? Our time writing system is just terrible. So many clicks and pop up windows. Very unintuitive.

Last week at Broadcast Asia "people" were blabbering that Synamedia would merge with Kaltura. Anyone else hearing this? Any Schleppers care to comment?

Hey peoples Does anyone here work at 530 FarmVille VA?

Does anyone else ever imagine how much better this company would be to work for if Tim Welsh would have replaced Andy?

What's the deal with the northampton location?

They aren’t even hiding it. Their LinkedIn profile is literally calling it the RedLion Takeover. How many Optimum stores are literally still in-house? The sad part is all the metrics show that the RedLion stores are doing better than the internal stores, but who knows if he could trust their numbers. Probably all fake to justify to takeover.

Is there a way to disable the stupid Bny default background. Having to reset our background every 20 minutes is annoying, wish they would let us at least have windows default backgrounds at least. Who the he-l wants to look at the pillars as their background.

This seems to be a consensus for the next major round?
