📉 Billions for Fiber, But Not a Penny for a Chair?

Q2 earnings call?
Another round of “fiber fiber fiber” like it’s a magic spell to fix morale, retention, and our third-place standing.

The CEO admits there’s no plan to expand fiber in rural areas—just because.
And when it comes to the most upvoted employee question—why hybrid work was eliminated—it was, of course, ignored.

Then he says:

“If I don’t like the answers to my questions, I turn to AI.”

Please.
AI runs on logic.
He runs on… whatever this is.
There’s no evidence AI was involved—and if it was, clearly none of it sank in. No way AI would’ve greenlit removing hybrid when productivity was higher.

Meanwhile, employees are shoved into 5-day RTO with no assigned seating, fighting for desks like it's Hunger Games—while execs sip lattes in corner offices preaching about “reputation” and “more business.”

Newsflash:

Respecting your workforce is part of your reputation.

They usually sit on the floor in India and Nepal. Maybe you can buy a floor sit pad with free curry from the Jewel of the Empire. Might get promoted.

The lack of assigned desks and real storage is absolutely maddening. Death by a thousand cuts will just make it easier for competitors to steal our best people. If you’re churning internally you cannot be #1.

And a disrespectful comment towards the ice machine question Give us the basic needs to work in an office -desk(assigned), a functional chair, and something to make us proud to be in the office 5x8. Leadership hides and is wfh, while we can’t be gone for a doc appointment without full documentation in moose, email, etc. pathetic!

Put your laptop on a file cabinet and stand for the day similar to a VariDesk. This is part of the #maha program
