IBM landing at #8 is such a joke.

What a joke ... the race to the bottom is over and AT&T won

Long gone are the days when people dreamed of working at Intel. Now we can’t even attract mediocre employees, and the top talent is avoiding us in wide berths. I fear this kind of loss of reputation is irreparable and we’ll be feeling it for a long time to come.

You cannot make this up. See Arvind going by Arvid last Thursday with Jim Cramer. Amateur hour, dumpster fire, imposter syndrome going on at IBM for far too long. => https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/09/04/ibm-ceo-arvid-krishna-sits-down-with-jim-cramer.html

Michael Mulvihill of Fox says that “Nielsen’s measurement of YouTube NFL game from last Friday will not be made available to other Nielsen clients.”

He calls it “a flagrant departure from Nielsen’s history of transparency and a slap in the face to long-standing clients.” Bottom line? “When it comes to streamers the rules simply don’t apply.”

And don't forget that NFL sent out a scathing notice telling the world that Nielsen is costing them millions of view and dollars.

CLIENTS ARE FURIOUS AT NIELSEN. I won't be surprised when they move to the competition and Nielsen goes the way of Kodak! I also won't shed a tear for Nielsen!

Just saw some short Fido ad on TV, wow it made it feel like you were joining the team at Walmart…raising the standard by lowering the bar.

You know what's funny? When items in a grocery store get recalled, people talk about it, they don't buy it again, avoid the brand like the plague. When Ford issues a recall notice, what the fu-k do people think?

Not a good look. Its getting a lot of bad mentions on social media. This is probably why they wanted employees to be social media "advocates". (Cue eye roll.)

You want regulators and Congress after you, DC? This is the way.

An acquaintance reached out about a job posting she saw at Medtronic. She asked me what I thought about this company. I made sure to tell her how my group just had several people laid off for no cause in May to help fund our VP's promotion to sr VP. This sr VP also chose to show us all photos from her daughter's multi-week European vacation right after she fired our colleagues and then dumped their work on the rest of us who are left behind. I don't think that acquaintance will be applying to work here after I told her what this company is really like as an employee. Guess actions have consequences. Keep destroying your reputation Medtronic.

What has happened to Enbridge? We used to be top ten but now we are 191? This should be a wake up call for evryone! https://www.forbes.com/lists/canada-best-employers/

Personally, I probably wouldn’t look for another job — I might just sell everything, buy an RV, start a YouTube channel, and travel across the country.
