When the Best Network Is Not Enough
For years, Verizon Communications built its brand on one idea. The best network. That worked when the gap was real. It is not anymore. Today, every major carrier is good enough. Most customers do not see a meaningful difference in daily use. But... — read more
I do my job to best of my ability and go home. MY job. Not everyone else's.
A few years ago, this career became just a job. My only motivation is pay day, and putting food on the table. No climbing the corporate ladder No MVP photo op. No spreadsheets. No daily reports. No metrics. I do my job to best of my... — read more

Does anything at work still motivate you anymore?
I can't think of a single thing. Take away the paycheck and the fear of being laid off, and there's nothing left. Why invest effort in a job that could vanish tomorrow, no matter how hard you work? Promotions are a thing of the past. No rewards for... — read more

The year of nothing getting done
Budgets cut, no new programs - everyone scared to admit (I’m not working on anything) out of fear. I’m a SD here for 15 years this is as bad as I’ve seen. It would be a welcomed change to be layed off.
Just ask your Manager.
If you are wanting the date that you are going to be laid-off. Really simple.
We are the Tiger Team.
Lower your dignity and vacate your offices. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
So is the next round really going to be 10% across the board?
I've seen it mentioned here, and the same rumor has been going around the office.
