Look at the data!!!! Extrapolate!!!!You

Too good to be buried in the comments.

I too am an ex employee who regularly visits this site to see how much farther the company has fallen. I find it funny, but in a sad way because I still do have people there that I consider friends.

I’m curious about this “neighborhoods” initiative. I’m guessing it’s similar to what I heard they implemented in the St. John’s office. Not enough seats for everyone, but your function has a neighborhood somewhere over there. If you get there and don’t have a desk, then go to the huddle room, until you get kicked out. Then go home and get targeted for PIP for not being in the office enough.

People! Just face it. It sucks there! You hate it there! You’re staying for the money and some id--tic hope that things will go back to the way they were, or at least get better.

THINGS WON’T GET BETTER IF YOU STAY!!!!!!!!!

THINGS WILL GET WORSE IF YOU STAY!!!!!!!!!

You’re scientists for God’s sake!!!! Look at the data!!!! Extrapolate!!!!

Leave that place. Please! I got laid off and I’m lucky I did. Because I had some BS sense of loyalty and probably wouldn’t have left on my own. Now that I’m out things are SO much better. I almost don’t want to share because I’m not sure you people will believe it.

But here it goes:

I make decent money. I am valued (received highest possible ranking). Supervisor and managers regularly praise me. I live in a beautiful place. I have great work life balance. I have a desk at work, but I can work from home as often as I need/want. My work is important and impactful.

This is not a lie!!! People!!!! Please!!! Leave that wretched company. You can be happy again. You can be valued for your work again. Things can be so much better!!!

PEOPLE!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Said it before and will say it again. There is a only so many spaces for people and or cars available on the campus. They are moving to that target number of number of employees that can fit on the campus. If you can be contracted out or nearly NRE you need to get out while you can. You are the targets for pip.

I think the point of this post is that you probably don’t need to go to the same company as the OP.

You can go ANYWHERE and things will be better!

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Ex employee here. I left the company 5 months ago after 15 years in EM and 1 year short of becoming NRE status.

I share the same sentiment and experience.

Imagine a boss that cares deeply about you, that takes genuine interest in who you are and what you are doing, who advocates for your development, offers you new opportunities, is vulnerable to you and encourages and empowers you to be yourself and to take risk and to exercise autonomy without fear of retaliation.

Imagine looking forward to the performance review, asking for more feedback because you trust this manager so much that you will take the feedback by heart. Imagine having no doubt in your mind that the true intensions of such feedback is to help you develop into a better human being.

Imagine having blind faith in the abilities, intensions, vision and strategy of senior leaders, imagine not having any doubts in your mind that they mean and do what they say, imagine they present themselves as genuine and vulnerable humans beings without any filtering from the PR department that curate their image and words.

Imagine feeling that your job is not just a job, that what you do matters to many, that people need and depend on you, that what you do has purpose and is meaningful.

Finally, imagine that you come every day to work not just to make the shareholders richer.

This is not a lie!!! People!!!! Please!!! Leave this garbage of a company. You can be happy again. You can be valued for your work again. You can love your company and your manager again. Things can be so much better!!!

PEOPLE!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Agreed, the company has very clearly “tipped its hand” and the downward spiral of offshoring, micrometering costs, and failing to invest in a durable future is very clear.
We’ll make a big splash in the stock market for a bit, but then the hollowed out nature of the company will become apparent.

Where do you work? Maybe some of us can go there also.
