In the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant increase of emails being sent by employees to other departments for “assistance”. They make no effort to elaborate on the issue or explain why they cannot handle the request themselves. It’s the... — read more 

All I have to say is - thank you for the free hour on this beautiful spring day. What a joke and useless line up of BS from KO and clowns.

Record high revenue, destroyed budgeted expectations, kicking butt and taking names. APRIL FOOLS!!!!!

More enjoyable: Getting a root canal without novocaine. More trustworthy: Eating a tuna fish sandwich sitting out in the desert sun all day. Your turn.

2%?! WThey are pushing people to leave. We essentially just took a pay cut with inflation.

So this was just a “let’s sell you on AI” meeting? This spin is infuriating. Don’t pi-s on my leg and tell me it’s raining. AI already took jobs. Just because they were taken first doesn’t mean AI didn’t replace them. In a way I guess it’s true... — read more 

What the heck was that? A kickoff neatly three months into the year? It’s hard to take a company seriously that preaches productivity when they waste a half-hour showing slides of updated organizational charts since the big layoff. It was the... — read more

April 1 is right around the corner. It's coming just after a gloom 1st quarter, a senseless new organization and the same BS games we are all involved in. What are we hearing or thinking regarding more changes or layoffs for HQ?

It used to be that if you got hired here, you had a future. Different roles, regular raises, promotions from within. Real job security. Leadership today doesn't seem to care about building a stable workforce. That old model means nothing to them now. — read more

So, they waited until 4:20 AM to send a text to announce the office was closed due to 18 inches of snow, yet last month when we were already working from home due to office renovations, they sent the alert out at 7 pm Sunday night, and that storm was... — read more
