ATO Cuts Coming

Heard a very credible rumor that huge cuts of 25-35% are coming to ATO soon. Plus more reorgs on 6/1 with officer reductions and cuts to supervisors who have less than 10-12 people. VPs and above already know and it's starting to leak out...

ATO all tossed out.
We got $250,000 a month pension of Randy baggage to pay. If ya'll can get off our balance sheet already that'd be great.

ATO won't be the largest for long. They're renaming it to the Anal Tunnel Organization soon.

Here is the fine print on “you mattered”. Not applicable to individual employees or dependents, strictly used as figurative speech and in the most generalized terms. Not to be interpreted as genuine affection or drawn inference to human warmth and emotions or expressed expectations of due care.

The primary use is for corporate double speak, reenforcing positive position while cultivating a sense of duty for employees to place the corporation’s goals ahead of his or her own. If successful, the employee’s perception, however irrational and unrealistic, will be temporary placed the corporation in positive light, surrender all critical thinking and embrace the role of stormtrooper for the empire. “You mattered” must be used repeatedly and consistently to retain the effect and maximize impact.

Easy to not know. All we ever see, hear, do is do grunt work to find where the copper went bad. No time to read anything but assignments, orders, and talk to the customer. I dont even know if Im IEFS or TFS or what... Just come in for a paycheck and do whats told.

Can someone really work here and not know what ATO is? The largest organization in the corporation?
