Just like BYOD ushered in taking away corp cell phones (except in CA, of course), VDI and those stations in the office are setting the stage for them taking back corp laptops. They’ll say you can work in the office if you don’t want to buy a laptop... — read more 

Bank

Look up your local bank address and read reviews from customers. Most banks rated a 2 of 5 stars. Apparently our customers think very low of the banks. The dress codes if employees is pathetic.

Tech outages focus

Oh gee now all the TK direct notes about focus on stability. You think? Can we finally just focus on core tech vs all the garbage distractions with DEI (sorry, TB), RTO, and making India feel included as they take our jobs? If you want stability... — read more

Wholesale Operations Q4 Town Hall

Employee Survey

Anyone hear anything honest about the employee survey results?

Professional Assignment

What exactly does "professional assignment" mean? There's a person in my area who came in with that title a couple of years ago helping with a high-priority project, not unlike many others, but managed to turn that somehow into a senior lead role... — read more 

What’s with this CHG freeze?

Tech question. There’s a CHG freeze for all production deployments from last week till Nov. it’s clear that someone broke something. It was enough that Leo scurried away to to find a scapegoat. So what happened? Tech was and is affected. — read more

Who's going to sue us this week?

The government, a former employee, a current employee, a former customer, or a current customer? Or maybe all of the above? Joking aside, it's ridiculous how much money we have to spend on litigation and for paying settlements or fines. How many... — read more
