Shell drones and NPC’s it’s that time again to predict and possibly influence the future

What are your predictions for 2026?

Will Shell purchase another operator?

What assets must Shell divest in order to succeed?
How is Wael being received as a leader of the organization?

RTO vs layoffs

as a remote employee i’m surprised they haven’t asked all remote employees (yet) to return to office or resign as a first wave. that way they’d save $ with paying out severance. i know they have asked specific roles to do so but not yet company wide. i’ve been waiting for the other ball to drop since hybrid RTO


We’ve hit some embarrassing records on layoffs.com

One of our posts about our su-k a-s security team and its crooked VP has hit over 100 thousand hits and counting. That is more than any other company has ever had on layoffs.com. One of the posts in that string has almost 4000 employees who have thumbs up the plead for help. That too is a record. Where have we gone as a company to sit mute to so many associates’ cries for help? It’s a pathetic record to have on this site and our customers see it. Hopefully the new company merger and shareholders and board of directors will see it and make the right decisions on who let this all happen and lay them off! Those records are embarrassing!


🚨 Rick Gomez & Jill Sando OUT? AI Says YES… But Is It TRUE? 👀

Word on the digital street: AI results are flagging Rick Gomez and Jill Sando as “OUT.”

NO official word yet since Fiddelke’s email, but AI whispers are blowing up across threads. If REAL, this could SHAKE Owned Brands, leadership, and strategy to the core.

Some say RUMOR, some say LEAK, some say REALITY. Either way, the chatter won’t die.

Who’s got insider intel, hints, or even half-confirmed whispers? SPILL IT ALREADY — we’re all ears ☕️


Teams - Microsoft enabling location snitching

https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/office-software/microsoft-teams-will-start-snitching-to-your-boss-when-youre-not-in-the-office-and-this-update-is-coming-in-december

I don’t care as my team knows I’m not in office, but between this and AI taking 80% of jobs (or some similar dire forecast), it’s absurd to give anything to the company beyond the minimum.


We need a Coupa Dance video 2025 edition!

Remember how much fun it was to watch overpaid executives dance and lip sync to modern pop songs? We need some of that again! Throw in a couple of pizza parties and the diSAPpointment will turn around. As Rob B once said, “our steak is delicious, but it needs more sizzle”


F&B Impacts Theory

I have no insider knowledge, this is just my theory for what could happen on Tuesday:

F&B reports up separately from other pyramids for pretty much every function (Merch/Planning, IM, Store Ops, etc.). Eliminating that separate reporting structure could remove some duplication of work and a lot of middle managers. For example, Food Supply Chain would be absorbed into what’s left of GSCL.

Thoughts?


Not a good look...

"What does the following article have to do with layoffs?" You might ask. It shows we have lots of room for improvement. Plenty of trash to take out...

If a visitor parked in a way that blocked all of your reserved parking spots instead of parking in one visitor parking spot, what would you do?

Would you let them park there and park in a visitor spot, or would you find a way to make them pay for breaking the rules?

In this story, one homeowner is furious when a fiber company parks their digger in a way that blocks all of their home’s private parking spots.

Keep reading to see how they handle the situation.

Sort the parking out? Ok, let me know if this works for you company with V in their name.
Back in the heyday of a fiber company with the letter V in their name, they were jamming fiber into the ground as fast as they could, they came to our townhouse village.

We got notice that they would be starting the next Monday and that they would be going along the inside edge of the sidewalks to set primary fibers and if we wanted it to come to the house to paste this orange sign on our front doors.

Ok, I was happy with the current provider, so no orange for me.

The digger guy didn’t care about making sense.

Parking is tight, with spaces for residents (marked) and some for visitors (marked).

I was surprised to come home on Friday to see a DitchWitch (cable digging / insertion machine) across the three spaces my family normally used.

I said to the workman that they were in my spaces, and they were across them.

Why not move to the visitor spot next spot over and rather than being across them, just put the machine in the spot like it was a car.

That way it would take one spot not three.

Digger guy goes “I already set it there, I have other work, you can sort out the parking” and drove off.

Ok fine.

They’re going to make it the digger guy’s problem.

So I park my car as close as I can get to the machine (using the visitors spot).

When next car arrives, we place it as close to the machine in the space on the other side.

Next car goes across the three spaces parallel to the machine. This blocks it in on three sides, can’t get out the 4th since there are the concrete bumpers.

Plus lack of wiggle room.

Others make alternate plans to get to work, I stay home to watch the action.

Digger guy shows up. Sees that he’s blocked in and is very sad. Stomps around the digger, around the cars, around the digger, another pass around the cars.

They go to the first town house. No answer. Second, third, fourth all at work. Gets to me.

The digger guy seemed to think they’d just move the cars if asked.

“Those your cars?”

“Yep, parked in my spot”

“You need to move them.”

“Nope, busy with other work” and I close the door.

Bang, bang, bang. “You can’t block me in, you can’t park there.”

“I can park there and look at them I already did. You said for me to sort my parking out on Friday and I did”.

“I’m going to call the police.”

“Go for it” and I closed the door.

This time, the site engineer thinks he can get the cars moved.

About an hour passed, knock at the door. “I’m the site engineer for a company with V in their name, are those cars yours?”

“Yep”

“You need to move them”.

“No, when your work drone dropped the machine off, I suggested rather than take up three spaces, they take up one. They said I should sort my own parking out. I did and I have other work to do.”

Closed the door. More knocking that I ignored.

By now there is a crowd of workpeople milling around.

We’re going even higher up the food chain.

Another hour passes, new knocking. “I’m the Senior project engineer for a company with V in their name, are those cars yours?”

“Yep”

“You need to move them”.

“No, when your work drone dropped the machine off, I suggested rather than take up three spaces, they take up one. They said I should sort my own parking out. I did and I have other work to do.”

“We’ll call the police”

“You do that” close the door.

Finally, the police arrive.

While finishing lunch, knock at the door. “This is the police”.

Open up, and ask how I can help. Get told by Office Obie to move my car or they would be towed.

I pointed to the “Private Property” sign and said “This is a private parking lot, you don’t have jurisdiction, in fact when we have complained about issues, your Chief has said you don’t have jurisdiction. So you can’t call the tow, you need to deal with the homeowners association.”

Some splutter by Officer Obie but acknowledged they don’t have jurisdiction to call a tow and left.

Now, the HOA gets involved.

Late afternoon knock at the door. “Hey Kilted, this is member of the HOA.”

I open up, we go out, I explain the situation (sorry no 8×10 color glossies with circles and paragraphs on the back) to them.

HOA yells at people from Company that has V in their name.

Company people looks sad.

They reach an agreeement.

HOA member asks how can we solve this?

I go, “Well illegal parking is a $100 fine, they are across three spaces, so that would be $300 fine, they pay that we can call it a day (winking at HOA member.)

“That works, I fine you $300 per day company with V in their name”

Senior engineer with a company with V in their name goes “Ok, we will pay it, move the cars. “

Not so fast.

I go “They look like they will pull a runner on you, I’d get payment first.”

“Good idea, you can pay me the fine since I’m the HOA.”

“I can’t get you a check today.”

“When you get the check, you can start. Otherwise, there is a bank down the street, cash will work.”

Senior engineer slinks away.

Now they understand what the visitor spot is for.

HOA member and I chat outside while worker drones mill around. Senior engineer returns, hands cash to the HOA member and goes “OK, now move your cars”.

I comply putting cars in other slots. When I come back from moving the last car, I see the digger parked in the visitor spot, correctly like a car. “What’s with that HOA member?”

“Well they decided that they had wasted the entire day and would start again tomorrow.”

They came and did the wires the next three days, each day the digger was returned to it’s spot. Oddly, I never saw the guy that wanted me to “sort my own parking out” again.

I wonder if the digger guy got fired. Regardless, this is a rare story where the HOA is the good guy.
