It's a waste of time

I totally understand why people decide on quiet quitting. However, it is bad that some spend a long time like that, instead of looking for better opportunities for themselves. Isn't that a waste of time? Don't let your skills atrophy here. It is... — read more

Productivity

Has anyone else lost interest in caring anymore? There is ZERO incentive to go above and beyond. Sure, I'm silently quitting like many others. We have lost faith in upper management a long time ago. The only option at this point is to jump ship or... — read more

From now on I will do only the bare minimum

It's a shame that some of the best people were laid off. My colleague is laid off, even though I don't know anyone who loved his job more and did it more professionally than him. What is the company trying to tell us? That it is better for... — read more

Why hire somebody just to lay them off within months?

We lost a guy who started six months ago. I can't understand why they would hire somebody just to get rid of him a few months later. I feel so bad for the guy, he's one of the good ones. He left another job to come here and now they kicked him to the... — read more

What about Monday?

I didn't expect to see any layoffs before at least next month and I was wrong. This came as a major shock to me. Now I'm nervous and I'm having trouble accepting that is over. Is there anybody kind enough who might be in the know who can confirm that... — read more

Stopped doing my job

I have quite literally stopped doing my job and my boss has not even noticed. Yes, I check in and respond to emails, but I stopped doing tasks. I wonder when she will notice? Then I can get laid off and collect severance.

UNITEDHEALTH CFO ADDED TO LAWSUIT OVER 401(K) OFFERINGS. (google yourself) No kidding they switched to low cost Vanguard. This guy is baked in British Style. CFO has nearly left the building.

Favoritism, micromanaging, lack of trust, lack of clarity, hostile and toxic work environment. You can’t trust HR and/or leadership anymore. Go to the attorneys let’s build our case! https://firedme.com/

Plenty of opportunities out there.

It is very surprising to me that people who have skills and who are just suffering here, still stay and spend their precious time here. WHY? If there weren't enough opportunities out there, I would somehow understand that, but there are many... — read more

Same old thing

Yes that’s right same old thing.. giving team members $15,000 bonus as a form of retention as our only client in SGS placed us on a CAP. Would it be bad for me to take the money and run?
