How do we keep the lights on?
I have no idea how we keep the lights on other than sheer brute force. The layers of stupid that exist that we deal with continues to surprise me every day. It's on all sides of the fence here. Stateside and Off-Shore. Nothing is ever your problem... — read more

No Work / Quiet Quitting
Tell us about your story of not having much work (for years). Tell us about your quiet quitting experience. I get a paycheck but that is about it. Maybe 3 hours a week of work. It is managements problem not mine at this point.
Layoff questions
I thought I read that if you are laidoff after September 30, then you are still eligible for the bonus. Is that not true? Also, does WF still give you the $800 towards your health care when you are in the severance period? How about if you are in the... — read more
Trying to choose benefits when you've been told you're being laid off, but not when
My entire division is going to be laid off, but has no idea when. So frustrating to be faced w/benefits election and having no idea what to choose bc you can't plan for the future. No idea for FSAs amounts, etc. Planning for a week, a month, 4... — read more

2024 benefits
I love how the firm sends out an email yesterday about 2024 annual enrollment along with links to plan info including new health plans but all the links go to 2023 plan info. Who tests this stuff before releasing to the entire company?

I'm worried about the earnings report

I wish leadership would be more aggressive in reducing layers of management
Everywhere I look, I see employees working hard to contribute to the bottom line and demonstrating a sense of ownership. In contrast, many if not most managers are mismanaging resources, adding redundancy, demoralizing employees, and adding... — read more

What does it mean when someone doesn’t show up in Teamworks?
