@rw I think you meant dei only communications. Hopefully you are more honest in your day to today activities. That’s his gig at trp it’s ok. After occupy Wall Street, Greedsters invented and bank rolled, dei to call the masses off, that surrounded their buildings. Was easier to pay off the uneducated, unproductive, undeserving segments of society in the name of social justice…good stuff.

@1dx it’s a LAYOFF forum. you expect happy, well treated people to participate? lol
the disgruntled people you so despise are the ones most impacted by the replacement of talented employees with mediocre at best contractors
of course they are a big part of the group
but then, you know that… You just like to stir the pot.
@vk The fact that this post - which is objectively true - has received so many downvotes is indicative of how useless this forum has become since it's been overrun by disgruntled IT Ops folks.
@16b shocking that people don’t work for fun and are concerned about comp and job security and work life balance isn’t it?!
@148 Based on many years of town halls where the predominant questions are WFH, compensation and "will there be layoffs" they have probably formed a quite accurate image of the workforce that's well-represented here so I'd guess they understand 'the company' pretty well...
@vk It can be argued that the current MC doesn't understand the company they work for either.
@rw further evidence that so many of the folks posting here don't understand the company they work for (or the industry)
Reading some of these comments, it’s not surprising that we have some issues to fix if this is the takeaway from a town hall. He’s not on the Management Committee. He moderated the last one and given his role in Communications, moderating a town hall seems appropriate.
I thought he did a good job as well. There are plenty of legitimate issues facing the firm. This isn’t one of them.
And the “DEI guy” reference and veiled language in some comments are cringe and not cool. Do better people.
@qv he’s not on MC. He was the moderator for Q&A. He has moderated all of the MC town halls and rightly so, cuz he’s good at it.
@qm I think the poster was asking why the dei guy is on the Mc. To be fair, that is a good question. Or what ever title they use now to hide his true job function. I could be wrong.
@pr do you really look at a management committee panel with 90%+ white people and think “DEI”? Are you blind, stupid, or racist?
@fh Why is the dei guy on the management committee? Well because the mc is quite liberal. They love money and embrace whole heartedly the current democratic parties very insane and illegal policies. Talk about absolutely useless to TRP and most of the employee’s. Ah yes our brave hero. He asked the questions they agreed upon ahead of time.
Ship of fools, on a fool sea…ship of fools……
@er I have met him and he’s a real one. Probably the only one on the MC that doesn’t make my skin crawl.
@df Not sure what the concern is with this. He's the only one that seemed brave enough to ask them the actual tough questions in the queue, compared to other meetings where only the most sycophantic ones got through. I really liked the job he did.
Why was the Dei guy leading the town hall? Is his background in finance?
@b7 layoffs are never announced at all hands. Glad you found work at another company
@a4 Wow...I am one of the ones laid off earlier this year. I found temporary work. All remote. I am so glad to be out of there. What a bunch of cold fish. I used to attend those meetings hoping to learn something positive...some glimmer of hope...maybe things would get better? It never turned out that way. I would end up pi---d off or more depressed after seeing those people. They could easily do low or no cost things to improve the lives of those still there. It is sorely needed for morale, but they really are that COLD. Luckily no big layoff announced. Everywhere I look I see layoff news from other places.
The response to the question about employee well-being was one of the most tone deaf, lame I have heard. Work from anywhere weeks? If you’re working 14 to hours a days and or 6-7 days a week is that actually helpful for an employees well-being? and I think at one point they were trying to say we don’t realize how much leave time we have. it is very obvious this group is intentionally and or hopelessly disconnected from the actual employees.
@a4 Cloudnext..blah blah blah...Accenture Partners....blah blah blah...Next 90....a-s kissing questions from the Peanut Gallery "I really respect the direction the MC is leading this firm. So exciting! Now, what are the plans to " blah blah blah...questions that are actually interesting in Meeting Pulse - "We don't have time"....Come in office 5 days a week...blah blah blah
