So it's pretty clear with this big AI push theyll be measuring usage soon as part of performance, does anyone know what metrics they are using?

Layoffs are coming, not because AI has replaced any jobs, but because Jeremy Legg is simply not intelligent enough to implement AI in a cost effective manner. He has spent so much money attempting to implement something he knows nothing about that... — read more 

I love my 2.5 hour round trip to the Dallas HQ. It really gives me time to think and plan through my day before I start.

This is why we know RTO is about getting rid of employees without paying them severance. https://medium.com/@danielychang/the-basement-and-the-boardroom-7d7e7dbee7c2

Or let me phrase that better, why do we let that be the case?

I see many folks hanging around waiting for a severance package. I get that I mean a kicker to go would be ideal especially if you are retirement eligible and this is your last stop in your career. If you have another opportunity outside the phone... — read more

I am in non hub and not told to move yet and I am unable to make up my mind whether to move or not. I casually applied for jobs and I am close to getting an offer. My best guess is 25K lower and it involves a 3 day 1 hour commute each week for life... — read more 

Aren’t we around the time of year when they roll out the survey? After last year’s debacle it doesn’t look like it’s happening.

Oil is going up again, and that hits way more than gas. It drives up the cost of literally everything tied to construction. Steel, concrete, transportation, labor, all of it gets more expensive fast. It’s not crazy to see 25-50% increases when energy... — read more

Heard the Legg Org is reviewing virtual ‘exceptions’ and they will need to be rejustified for approval. If not approved, must report to home office. Anyone hear anything similar?

Did you use AI today? Did you automate your job so we can fire you?

I feel frustrated and disrespected because my manager cuts me off or dismisses my ideas before I can fully share them. It often feels like he values speed over depth and agreement over thoughtful debate. He seems to take what he needs from me, then... — read more 

Just as we get going, we have to pivot to something else. There's no way to be successful in such an environment and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

March hurt. Two of our best and brightest left voluntarily despite having the coveted virtual designation and being only in their 50s. Each put on a good game face for why they were leaving but everyone knows they got tired of the lack of leadership... — read more

This RTO policy is extremely outdated. What happens when Optimus comes out later this year and everyone can have an Optimus robot drive to the office in a Tesla and badge in for us. The leadership clearly did not think out just 1 year in the future.

Which of these does AT&T actually care about? Silly question, we already know. Sure, fuel is expensive but people are even more expensive. Think about this, one mediocre L2 PM can cost the company upwards of $200k. That's 40,000 gallons of fuel... — read more

Oil is spiking with the Iran situation and gas is climbing. For anyone commuting 50 miles each way, that’s 500 miles a week. At 20 MPG, that’s about 25 gallons every week just driving in circles to get to the office. When gas pushes toward $5... — read more
