Over the course of the last year, I watched as my friends were blasted away. A feeling not unlike sitting in a trench, the sirens begin, foxholes are filled, and some unlucky chosen never make it back. While dramatic, this is the feeling I get with every announcement, email, and report.
Today, my friends were sold like property. Some spent their lives here, only to be told the work and time they put in is worthless, that they’re no longer with us. Offered up like it wasn’t their lives being affected. For what? So some disgusting rich pig can get fatter? So some greedy corporate demon can keep feasting on us?
I know this place is he-l, but I pray we aren’t so godless that justice goes unserved. Imagine sacrificing people just to pad your pockets.
I have nothing to say about what happened today, no news, nothing. My words are gone, and every day here is filled with apathy.

How many were let go?
Only one question matters for the "Retained" call in the morning...
For how long?
This career path is being perfected by AI. Sorry folks
Work is work; there are no friends there. Don’t be naive - it is not the corporation's fault if you believe their lies. They literally squeeze profit out of you, and that is all they care about!
Enjoy life, see the world, and make real friends, as a job is only temporary. As soon as your access card is denied and your Teams account is deactivated, those same 'friends' will find new ones, forgetting you and that you ever existed.
@OP most excellent response. While in no way the same as those losing their jobs, the survivor's guilt is tough knowing that your turn on the wheel is coming. Everyone impacted deserves so much better.
@a1 my dude you couldn’t have said it better. Worked here 30 years started when they were Equifax. But this is some ridiculousness and karma is a b$&@ch
Well said. Do they really think those of us who don't get rif'd or outsourced have the same morale as before? This place is toxic. I doubt tomorrow's call for the remaining FTE's will be a confidence booster.
