Like Mike H said, work for free (after hours and weekend) and you will be rewarded with 1 extra month of summer Fridays!
Pump up those numbers people and applaud free labor!

Mike is a horrible leader that does not know the first thing about the American Dream or taking care of people. I understand capitalism but the amount of money Freddie Mac makes does not warrant layoffs ever. Need to downsize? Ok, do it through attrition. When someone leaves, don't back fill it. Offer yearly voluntary buy outs. Or move people around to teams that need more help. I guarantee a Lead will accept a senior role or a senior will take a professional role of it guarantees security and not worrying about health insurance, benefits and putting food on the table. And if they don't want to accept it then it goes in the attrition bucket. Taking care of your people is not rocket science. It just requires a decent human being at the helm.
A board whose primary function is reduced to rubber-stamping top-down administrative mandates while executive leadership is churned or stripped of independent oversight isn't a governance body; it’s an institutional bottleneck. When leadership fails to challenge structural inefficiencies or arbitrary return-to-office and operational overhauls, they prove that corporate compliance has completely replaced fiduciary duty.
You guys did SUCH a great job working remotely on Fridays that we’re going to make sure you’re still in the office 5 days a week. Keep up the good work!
