I've pulled back on performance because I've not seen my efforts result in improvement. Think of it like this - no matter how hard I work it will not lift the company out of the hole MD and others have dug. The effect of my actions pale in comparison to the effect of their actions. I can't make up for their past and current deficiencies. They should be concerned that most employees are so under water on their stock why should we care about their failed and mediocre concepts of satellite domination. The hole they dug is so deep the incentives aren't there for me or others to fix it. Just punching the clock until a more worthwhile endeavor emerges.

@2pnz+1uUVZMP9: haha you're so naive. People have green dot on slack is because they forgot to turn off their mouse jiggler. stop spreading your BS around here. Our leaderships are a bunch of donkeys. Just chill and prepare for interviews cuz this company is going down really quickly
Don't believe anything you read here - it's complete BS
It's just a bunch of disgruntled trolls who got laid off a long time ago and have no idea what's going on in the company now. They are posting nonsense and fiction.
I work with multiple teams in the company, and morale is pretty high. Everyone is hard working and dedicated to their jobs. I check Slack at midnight before bed, and so many people still have a green dot next to their name. I get late night emails from Git from people submitting code late. People are handling on call duties on the weekend. Some are even doing it while on vacation, while on maternity and paternity leave, and I've even seen it from a few people who were supposed to be retired.
I don't know anyone who is worried about layoffs. No one is leaving, and, in fact, the company has started hiring again. Of course that doesn't mean there won't be some low performers or people in business units that are no longer a priority let go here and there. But at many recent all hands, not just with Guru and Mark, but with other leaders too, there is a strong sense of optimism and a feeling that the company is moving in the right direction. It's not fake, it is a sentiment shared amongst many people I've talked with.
Look at the company's press releases. New deals and contracts are being announced on a regular basis. There are several other reasons, that cannot be named, to be positive about the future of this company. All I can say is that I have maxxed out my ESPP and cannot believe my good fortune to be acquiring shares at ridiculously low prices.
@ Post ID: @1iyi+1uUVZMP9
You are missing the point. NOBODYs efforts are meaningful if the leaders are disengaged (and incompetent and dysfunctional).
Some guy said it here before- Lions led by Donkeys.
@1iyi+1uUVZMP9 : is yours meaningful? the whole company isn't doing anything right so get off your high horse
Not hard to be he-l bent when you have a helicopter waiting for you on deck
I dunno, I see what the OP is saying. We're like painters on the Titanic while the execs are he-l bent on driving it into an iceberg despite warnings. Is extra effort necessary or impactful for change?
I'm sorry to say this buddy, but it sounds like your work isn't too meaningful, to you or to Viasat.
