Are you hoping to get the call?

“I am safe. 5 days, 12 hours per day. 10 hours average on report"
Wait until they mandate you power off your laptop when you go home. Let’s see those hours then.
And if I’m wrong about the amount of hours you’re putting in, you’re a su---r, straight up. You think the company cares if you’re over 8?
Please, please, please come take my job! I long overdue for departure from this insane asylum! I’m ready and willing to exit from the T payroll, the sooner, the better!
I don’t do any work and still get paid. It’s a big company..
“No one is safe. It's not how hard you work or how good you are.”
The old adage of “you can achieve anything IF you work hard enough” has always been bogus. Hard work by itself doesn’t guarantee anything. You have to be in the right place at the right time or the right people with the right skill set and or talent(s). Multiple factors contribute to success.
Union employees in Out of Region states are safe, nobody is coming to take their jobs away...Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Washington are all safe!
“No one is safe. It's not how hard you work or how good you are.”
Truth!
Those days are long gone!

No one is safe. It's not how hard you work or how good you are.
“ I have heard there are now more contractors than employees. That trend will continue as they can cut them without notice.”
This is 100% true! T as a corporation, is currently made up of 40% badged employees and 60% contractors! That should tell you ALL you need to know. We all know that trend will continue!
“death by a thousand cuts” = a company that is hated by those that leave, those that stay, recent hires and the word spreads to the customers, nothing is free T
“I have heard there are now more contractors than employees. That trend will continue as they can cut them without notice.”
Wait until these fools are so far over their heads with contractors that nothing gets done, ever. Milk, milk, milk. Clueless L3 and L4’s lead by the nose of contractors milking them dry. L3’s and L4’s scrambling for excuses with each missed milestone as they beg, beg, beg like a desert dog for more budget, to complete the work that was paid for 3x over. Such pathetic, know-nothing, short-sighted losers. Dig a hole, crawl into it, and roll a boulder over yourself already.
"They have shut down all avenues for people pointing finger at the report."
That is even better for the employee. When the lawsuits are filed it will be easy to show that the company really gave the employee a way to correct the record.
Someone had a big one coming and flooded the bathroom in Bothell 8 this week.
“ This “death by a thousand cuts” is RIDICULOUS! They KNOW the number they need to get down to, so just DO IT!”
They can’t. If they do a mass layoff, that would signal an unhealthy company and the stock would tank. So instead, they are doing the trickle trick to fly under the radar of warn notices and sec reporting. I have heard there are now more contractors than employees. That trend will continue as they can cut them without notice.
This “death by a thousand cuts” is RIDICULOUS!
The 'death by a thousand cuts' is to desensitized the survivors.
They can't just flash cut to a bottom # of employees. They must slow roll it to align to the decline of the legacy business. They need the profit margins of the legacy (think AVPN) products and need employees to support said services until there is enough fiber sold to push customers off of AVPN. This quarterly layoff culture will persist for several more years.
“Better be doing work and not just leaving your laptop in the office. They’re cracking down on that too.”
This is true.
I am safe. 5 days, 12 hours per day. 10 hours average on report

I am safe. 5 days, 12 hours per day. 10 hours average on report.
I'm certainly hoping for the call, can no longer stomach this place! It's a cancer metastasizing throughout the company! affecting every employee.
RIP that bandaid OFF and let’s get it OVER WITH!

Bon Voyage!
“The Desktop Reptile” will be my new screen name
“ It doesn’t matter. Reports are flawed and management doesn’t care to acknowledge or correct.”
They have shut down all avenues for people pointing finger at the report.
- The Viva page about the the desktop reptile is closed to comments.
- You can put in ticket for inaccuracies , your manager has to, you know how that discussion will go.
- There was a message option in power bi dash board , where people to document the inaccuracies, that’s also shut down.
Turning a blind eye does not mean the reports are right.
It doesn’t matter. Reports are flawed and management doesn’t care to acknowledge or correct.
We are told to respond with yes ma’am and yes sir.
We have alpha dog ego’s bosses who are smarter than all of us and expect the only acceptable response.
I already got the call in March :)
