A drop in productivity

I would have nothing against coming to the office if the reason for it was justified. Do our bosses even care about how it affects our productivity? Since returning to the office many of my colleagues are doing the bare minimum only and if I were... —  read more

Nothing but lies

I think the frustrating thing is that Cap One has publicly and internally said they will “help redeployed folks find roles internally” and have even said there are enough internal open roles for folks who want to stay. That messaging combined with... —  read more

In one week’s time the laid off ADLs will be terminated, applied to nearly 20 plus positions internally but was rejected, tried to set up meetings with the internal hiring manager and the recruiters nobody responded, never thought that the company... —  read more

Being Prepared

Something I learned over my career. In a capitalistic society companies will do what is best for their investors. They will hire more people when there is money to be made and they will layoff people when there is a downturn. I think we the employees... —  read more
