#holidays

Imagine being told your job as a director is being eliminated before the holiday weekend.

Today is Stank's least favorite day of the year. He hates all workers and especially hates that he has to pay them for a day off. No wonder he loves foreign country workers.

Don't forget, if a holiday falls on one of your three office days, you're required to make that day up on another day during the week. They're watching (per my manager).

On this labor day I just want to tell all of my employees that I cant wait to lay you off! I wish you would work made up holidays like this as what is most important in life is pleasing the shareholders and me! Get back to work and do better!

Because that’s all that’ll be left in a few months once the job market turns. I heard 50+ in marketing solutions are planning to bounce by EOY. They don’t trust leadership at all because of Martin and Spiegel

For us that were laid off and still haven’t found a job, happy Labor Day and enjoy the US Open tennis at Flushing Meadows. Come by the stadium suite in Arthur Ashe stadium this weekend.

For a company that hates its own American workers to celebrate a national holiday honoring them is ironic .

Yeah, it's weird here. Yeah, the morale isn't great and the Coporate big-wigs make life more difficult on their employees than they have to. But get out and enjoy the weekend, everyone. Happy Labor Day!

But to the on-highs who decided that the still hybrid office employees have offended the company by having the audacity to celebrate a federal holiday on a Monday and elected to punish us by forcing everyone into the office next Thursday; I hope the beer is warm and the grill breaks.

So what's going on at the holiday meeting? Any word?

Ah, the holidays Coming soon — that magical time when companies drape their logos in twinkling lights, release tear-je-king ads about “family values,” and then quietly toss employees out the back door like expired fruitcake.

Nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a calendar invite titled Mandatory HR Meeting on Thanksgiving or December 23rd. It’s corporate efficiency at its finest — cut payroll before year’s end, bump the stock price, and still make it to the CEO’s chalet in Aspen for eggnog.

The PR department will churn out phrases like “right-sizing” and “strategic restructuring” — translation: we’re firing you to protect executive bonuses. After all, someone’s got to pay for the CEO’s holiday Rolex and the board’s catered champagne toast.

And while they sip their peppermint lattes and congratulate themselves on “tough decisions,” real people are at home explaining to their kids why Santa suddenly downsized his operations this year. Nothing warms the heart like watching holiday lights reflect off the foreclosure notice.

If companies want to be honest, they should ditch the fake holiday cheer and just run commercials that say: “From all of us in upper management, thanks for your years of service — and don’t let the door hit you on your way to the unemployment line.”

Because in corporate America, the season of giving is really the season of taking — taking jobs, taking dignity, and taking every last shred of goodwill before the year-end financials hit.

So Cargill let go of employees at the beginning of December (same as every other cargill employee affected by the layoffs) and we still haven't seen a single dollar to our name? Thank you for letting us spend the holidays without any money and stressing. Really putting people first huh? The teams are more worried about their christmas events than making the process smoother. Please don't think about working for Cargill Costa Rica, they are all talk and don't live up to their values.
