Seeing all the curated nonsense coming from the partner meeting on Amplify, I asked Gemini to share characteristics of a cult. Here’s what it gave me.

“Cults are typically defined by a charismatic, unaccountable leader, high-control, and exploitative behavior, often utilizing thought reform and isolation to create total dependency. Key markers include unquestioning commitment to the leader, intolerance of criticism, and a, "us-versus-them" mentality. Examples include isolation from family/friends and mandatory, constant financial or time commitments. 

Key Characteristics of a Cult

• Charismatic, Authoritarian Leader: The group revolves around a leader who is viewed as the ultimate authority, often a messianic figure, who is not accountable to any authorities.
• Isolation and Control: Members are isolated from the outside world, including friends and family, to foster dependency.
• Coercive Persuasion/Thought Reform:Techniques like chanting, meditation, or intense work routines are used to suppress doubt and force compliance.
• Exploitation: Leaders often financially, emotionally, or se-----y exploit members.
• "Us vs. Them" Mentality: The group creates conflict with wider society, viewing themselves as superior or enlightened.
• No Tolerance for Questions: Dissent, criticism, or doubt is discouraged or severely punished.
• Preoccupation with Money/Recruitment: The group constantly seeks new members and funds, demanding significant personal resources.
• Fear of Leaving: Members often fear reprisals or believe there is no life outside the group.”

Or will you go and eat another one of their bullsh-t sandwiches?

Traditionally, it seems layoff meetings are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a reason for this?

Its been a while since we came here but we are back. So ladies and gentlemen, what is the news?

I feel like I work with incompetent people. Some I seriously question how they keep their jobs. Am I alone here? Am I just unlucky? I get technical gaps but this is basic common sense and elementary math.

What’s your insight? Let’s put it here.

Does anybody have an inkling what we might be looking at? I'm afraid to even think of the possibilities.

Last week Verizon held a meeting with employee representatives of the European Works Council
Does anyone have any information about what was discussed?
So far no details have been released about what happened

I tried bringing it up and got shot down immediately. That’s frustrating, because if compensation is off-limits, there’s no way to know who’s being underpaid, and I’m guessing it’s more common than people think.

Any new changes?

I am appalled by the level of the discussions in this forum. We need a panel discussion to raise the intellectual level of the discussions in this forum!
