This IT all hands meeting is depressing
Out of 30 or so AVP, VP, SVP on the org chart there is a single non-Indian. Just one. They talked for an hour mostly about AI with little specifics about the plan. Answered a QA about rebadging and gave a 3 minute non-answer.
Stepping down
Managers in retail are starting to step down after this last round of cuts.

I love my job at Verizon
I do the bare minimum, and I get treated exactly the same as people who go above and beyond and have practically traded their lives for work. Why would I leave? Where else am I going to find a deal like that? And before you all come at me with hate... — read more
