Have faith in our Cybersecurity experts - The FBI took the cash back and shut down that Russian Gang. Just like they did before
22 million nothing to these people. They’ll just cut more money in RRP and collapse whole segments now. I thought 2024 was gonna be rough. Lordt Jesus, 2024-2026 is gonna be the sword the company falls on from this and their DOJ investigation PLUS this Ransomware attack loss. This is ironically and rightfully deserved. 100x needful all the way 😆
“ If you think this won’t cause more RIFs, you’d be mistaken.”
Of course it will. But they would have done it anyway, because there are indeed 30 hours in every day, and who needs sleep and to care for their families, their children? Nah. Has anyone ever sat down and done the math on universal healthcare? Like, if you add up your premiums and your deductibles and your out-of-pocket costs and all of that…and done the math as compared to what you are spending with health insurance companies as the middle man. Do the math. We would pay less. Where do you think that $22 billion in profits without you getting a raise or RRP comes from? $22 BILLION dollars. Profit. You get no raise. No bonus. You get to go pick up your life-saving medicine and pay full price, even with “health insurance”. We need a public option. Competition is good. The antitrust investigation is a really good thing.
If you think this won’t cause more RIFs, you’d be mistaken.
Well there goes us peons bonus for next year. Or they will just lay off 30 people to make up for it.
The beginning not the end.. recollection when the big entertainment sector got hit in September 2023, the restoration of business as usual was done in “phases”. What was disclosed publicly was never the total sum.
First the restoration of reservation system, then the lights back on the machines. Oh you meant you also wanted customer info data, that’s a separate price tag not all inclusive ..it’s ala carte. The $22M is a deposit for good faith more to come..
When you sit in the ivory tower looking at the beautiful sunrise/sunset, you failed to appreciate those who helped you built the ivory towers with their sweats. No more troop to up keep the maintenance. Instant karma..
What a sh*t show.
Oh noes. What a tragedy. LOL indeed.
“ I would've asked for more. LOL”
Hopefully they took it out of the pool of raises and RRP we got stolen from us. I’m actually ok with taking one for the team on that just for the satisfaction the schadenfreude gives me down in my cold black heart :).
I would've asked for more. LOL
Leadership - must replace a new laptop
Team - there were proprietary apps on old laptops.
Leaders - WHAT? WHO can do this?
Team - they were let go in the previous RIFs
Leaders - can Wipro step in?
Team - it’s leadership decision, why don’t you go ask them?
Time for popcorn 🍿 in one hand and a glass of wine 🍷 or 🍺. Cheers to all! Enjoy the front row seat!
In a press release about his letter asking CMS to help health-care organizations strained by the Change Healthcare cyberattack, @SenSchumer's office says he has "asked the FBI to make this case a top priority."
If you own stock....sell it before it isn't worth anything!
Let the games begin…
If you were wondering where your raise and bonus went....
“ Ironically the same amount I got paid last year.”
Hahahaha! Excellent.
Ironically the same amount I got paid last year.
Post ID: @OP+1rntI9nQ - and now it’s gone. $22M smoked, I bet this is just the beginning? Infighting among RaaS group or its affiliates.
