Let’s be honest here
Who really believes the VP of HR decided to resign with two days notice and they felt it necessary to include the line that she still believes in the direction of the company. That about as believable as some high level Russian falling out of a... — read more

Isn't it better to leave?
Everyone talks about quiet quitting, but I don't like that idea at all. Sounds like a waste of time. Why do that when it is always possible to find a much better opportunity? I have two interviews waiting for me next week.
Performance is the least important
In any normal company, employee performance should be a priority in everything. However, performance seems to be becoming less and less important here? When it comes to layoffs, the irony is that the target are often those who put work before... — read more
LAYOFFS ON TUESDAY

I think those who are not burned out are in the minority here. What a "great way" to give up the best employees to the competition! I worked in other companies in the industry and there I was often exhausted too, but I never experienced burnout. Well... — read more
Next IT Purge?
When is the next purge of those that they don’t like or are threatened by? Will it be all LCVE again?
Quiet Quitting
I highly recommend quiet quitting. Look it up. It’s been 2 months now and by only working 8-4 daily, my excess work has been redistributed. That’s the only way to survive here as they won’t help you from preventing burnout any other way. — read more
It is too big a challenge for them
It is obvious that it is too big a challenge for them to create a fine balance between having too few and too many employees. My team is terribly understaffed, while some other teams are overstaffed. ------ Why is this happening? Is staffing an... — read more

Q2 free cash flow out the wazoo!
Watch this space for reasons for lay-offs and the new plan "1.03 in 23".

Expect to lose something
This site is quiet now. That means the CLT is confident now and ready to take something more away. Less earned days off?, reduction in benefits?, removal of option to work from home, or even a reduction in bonus percentage. Mark my words
I hope that attrition will slow down a bit
For now, I haven't noticed that fewer people are leaving. Everyone is looking for a way out. Will attrition finally slow down a bit? I am quite exhausted and if this continues, I don't know how much longer I will be able to do work for several... — read more

Glassdoor
Wow! I have never seen so many positive posts on Glassdo0r from HR before! They were busy posting in April and May. Corrupt and unethical as a company to mislead and deceive people like that
