Two classes of employees and treatment

This just in: AT&T policy that forced employees from across the country to relocate to Dallas and Alpharetta, inadvertently consolidated the companies angriest adversaries and unstable minds. The CEO and CTO now walk amongst a concentrated... — read more

Audit the Supervisors

Virtual no more

The big kahunas are saying that virtual jobs are going away. Any idea when?

MGO Town Hall

Loads of the usual happy talk but not a word about RTO and no questions. Not the best use of an hour IMO. Any other thoughts?

Did you know that

Did you know that a Telecommunication company uses a reflection technology to duplicate all incoming global traffic and sends that stream to an undisclosed government destination. Those IP packets are sniffed and tagged in real time using AI and... — read more

January RTO

I really hope this 5 day RTO crashes and burns. So I'll be showing up to sit on the floor just like the Stink wants me to. I want to see it go terribly so Stank has to tell everyone that we're going back to a better work/life balance. I wish he'd... — read more

Why no accounting of projects?

Why no accounting of projects? Are projects a vehicle for money laundering? It seems many projects go on forever and never fulfill their intended purpose. With the inefficiency sniffers out in full force it would stand to reason that projects that... — read more

Far too many hanging on at ATT because they
