The TDP event was a hard watch

If Stinky’s goal was to convince younger employees to stay, publicly taking shots at Gen Z over wanting flexibility wasn’t exactly the way to do it. His comments came across as dismissive, disrespectful and completely out of touch.

Here’s what this pre-computer dinosaur fails to understand. We grew up online, made friends online, had relationships online. We learned online, collaborated online, and even went to school and got degrees online. We don’t need a five-day RTO mandate to know how to be connected and productive.

Nobody is asking to never come into an office. People are asking for flexibility. Instead of trying to understand that, leadership keeps acting like it’s a work ethic problem.

Then they wonder why younger employees don’t stick around.

Maybe stop blaming the workforce and start asking why the workforce isn’t buying what your so called “leadership” is selling.

@ae the irony and choice of the quote given he possesses all of the characteristics of a narcissistic dictator. The entire company with few exceptions will break out in thunderous celebration when the man leaves which doesn’t seem to be anytime soon. His performance isn’t an indicator of his longevity.

Hater gonna hate.

I didn’t bother watching it, what did he say?

@ag 🥱🥱🥱

A warning to the young, please don’t waste your best years here. This place isn’t changing until tech savvy mavericks take control of the ship. Gain a few key skills, scoop up a few juicy certs, build a nice resume and move along quickly as you can. Follow your instincts. Find the right company, one that represents the future of our industry. It’s out there, don’t be afraid to go for it.

@a7 "So what is the problem? Don’t like the rules? Quit,"

Are you really that dim? The OP explained that the event was a "rah rah" session for the TDPs to encourage them to stay. Stank basically told them to F-kOff with their opinions on what they expect from work. That is certainly not the way to convince someone to stay. Of course, this is further evidence of why almost 100% of the TDPs from the previous group have left the company.

And yet you’ll stay.

Ok zoomer

He quoted Margaret Thatcher, and said that Gen Z wanting to enjoy the place they work and caring about their well being is socialism. He’s the stupidest fu---r on the planet.

@a7 your an id--t Let me know under Stanks leadership if our stock price is any better ?!? Dip$ht Typical kool aid drinker

His goal was to win over some haters. Not sure he was successful.

Pre-computer dinosaur for the win! Perfect description.

So what is the problem? Don’t like the rules? Quit, this well get your message across faster than anything. Being the company will obviously fold upon all the RTO complainers leaving you all will have bragging rights.

when was it? didn’t see it… what was he “pitching & Since when is everyone invited to a TDP watch?

Guess what . . . that is who Stank is: dismissive, disrespectful, and out of touch.
