Burned out and done pretending this makes sense

Earnings won’t change layoffs
I don’t know why people think results will make a difference. At AT&T, layoffs happen regardless. Good results, mediocre ones, bad ones, it doesn’t matter. They’re just part of how things work here.

Yikes!
Every month there are fewer of us

Planning to move to a hub to save job with single salary. Which one offers low commute and best work life balance and not get fired in a year of moving?

Any ideas of what is coming? Anyone heard any more about HUB cities ?
The difference between healthy and sick

Doing the RTO thang
How many in here moved to Dallas and what decision led you and your families to do so? My family is going through a forced relocation. We are choosing to move to keep the job, for some social life and probably better opportunities for jobs.
