I’m depressed just at the thought of coming into work. Almost everyone around me is in the same boat. What’s the point of having a workforce that’s all down? If we have been made to be invested in a company, productivity and morale would go up. When you feel undervalued and alienated as most of us do, it’s impossible to do the good work.

I’m in IT, and feel the same way. Mark Murphy is seriously the worst executive I’m ever met, let alone worked for. In it only for himself, and willing to do anything needed to put his team down to make himself feel better.

That does not take away that it is tough to remain motivated. The fact that I am grateful for a regular paycheck and languishing are true at the same time.
You still are receiving a monthly paycheck so I don't feel too bad for you.
A lot of people lost their jobs at 3M during all the rounds of layoffs. Not all of them have found new ones yet.
All the uncertainty with the NEW TEBG model feels like a punch in the gut. I wish it was handled with more thought.
I definitely didn't feel like getting much done.
