Oh wow, the VPN went down again yesterday—right when people were trying to work remotely. Incredible. After all the money we threw at ICS and J2C, you’d think we could at least count on our resources to function when it actually matters. But... — read more 

How much money do we spend on DEI at this company?

Meta, Ford, McDonald's Walmart, John Deere, Harley-Davidson, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, State of Wisconsin, and many others have all cut their DEI programs. All eyes are now on Tim when he will slash DEI at NM. Tim needs to do the right thing and... — read more

Townhall today = poor AV performance but we spend millions in improving infrastructure.

Is it s-xist when 16 out of 17 promotions in one department are from the same s-x? Is it s-xist when a certain gender is getting skip level promotions, despite not having the necessary experience? Not sure how a lawsuit hasn't been filled yet.

Anyone making over $300k?

The next 6 months can't go fast enough.

What’s up with the food lately? Seems to have gone hill the last 6 months.

So, Tech and CXD are back together under one division, as so many people here had posted was going to happen. DR being forced to retire isn't surprising to me. The engagement scores are the lowest ever and someone needs to be held accountable.

KB is out. I wonder what else DG is up to. Any ideas?
