Anyone else have “Donation Boxes” appear in their office?
Since mid December, our office has had 4 giant boxes sitting in the hallway with a “Donations” label on them. There are also about 40 plastic bins (the type you’d store Christmas ornaments in) stacked next to them. They have all been completely empty... — read more
Enough is enough
I work with so many passive aggressive and petty people. I would always work fast and respond quickly but you all continued to push. There is no pleasing you. I am done with trying to be cooperative. You have done your fair share of sloppy work... — read more
Wow
Looks like we're going to make it for at least a week in 2024 with no layoffs. Color me shocked.
If you’ve made it thus far and are bonus eligible, is it pretty much guaranteed so long as you’re performing?
Chances of a last wave before bonus and does the 60 day notice maintain your eligibility?
I just wanted a job...
I just wanted a job... Not all the drama, back stabbing, chaos, non leader "Leaders" , inexperienced & abusive middle managers, constant back story of layoffs, outsourcing, etc.

There's no such thing as being safe here

WF location strategy- not broadly efficient
I understand the need to justify real estate to improve efficiency, and that drives location strategy in some circumstances. Makes sense. This approach feels a lot more like “we are still going to have most of all this real estate but are going to... — read more
All tricks, no treats
A layoff on 10/31 was discussed, but now we know that scope. 700+ of us were downsized/outsourced. Drip drip drip until we're all gone.

401(k) match missing?
Another post mentioned that folks should be able to see their 401(k) match already in their accounts. I was hoping to see it on the 29th, but as of now it is still not visible for me. Is this an issue, or is this the case for others as well and I... — read more

Are ALL WFH positions being moved back to the office?

35K Employees gone since 1/31/23
Simple count from Teamworks today and comparing to 1/31/23 shows 35K. Granted, not all are employees, but a good chunk are. So another reduction in 2024 (which will probably be equal to the 35K gone in 2023), but this time we are taking a billion out... — read more
