Thread regarding Canon Inc. layoffs

@28h management and their cronies write the rules to protect themselves, not you. they have no problem firing competent people, or anyone who stands up for themselves, because they have all the power. Sammy, nor any kapo serving him, is going to leave because tyrants never abdicate because they were politely asked to. the microsoft survey proved this.

@152 he’s beyond overdue for his official exit. Why has he been given more time?

@1ad not probably. Definitely. Sales is getting fired, Pip’d, or transferred to dealers.

@1g9 Itasca needs it most knowing the vipers nest that eats their own over there. They're still reeling from the people they've fired from shoddy management. Things that used to take minutes now take days to complete. Absolute mockery of this company.

@1dp we have not had it in Itasca Although I think we did a few years ago so maybe it's coming soon.

@1dp According to the corporate security guy presenting, this was something they did previously at CFS a few years ago, so it was probably their idea. It’s amazing how much leverage CFS seems to have. Move in, insert the coyote decoys, add security guard, shut down for a month for rodent removal, request workplace violence training, avoid Sammy’s three office day mandate. It seems like they are effective at getting what they want. Maybe I should just ask for a transfer?

Are other locations having this training or just Burlington? Also wondering if something happened that were doing this training.

Layoffs are probably on the horizon. Many companies beef up security when they are ready to perform massive reductions. It’s never the Occam’s Razor explanation they tell you, “Oh, we just want to keep you safe”. There’s always an ulterior motive, just like with Google. “Oh, we just want to give you the best tools for collaboration and AI innovation”. Nah bruh, you are trying to frustrate me to the point where I want to quit. The lesson: always look at things with a critical eye and be skeptical of everything that is going on around you.

Sammy probably thinks harsh “words are violence” and wants Burlington to be trained before his next end-of-year visit. He knows we hate his guts, and he wants to brainwash us into loving him, but it’s not going to happen. He can’t handle constructive criticism.

@OP if we are talking about canon option (A) is the only right answer to keep your job. every other answer especially talking to HR or a manager will just get you canned.
