There are so many enablers on my team and so much ridiculous office politics that bad behavior seems encouraged. Previous managers weren’t much better, and overall competence has been lacking. How these people keep getting hired and promoted is... — read more

Does any manager know the bonus numbers this year? More or less the same as last year?
Is anyone actually working the last two weeks of the year?

I doubt there'll be many more layoffs
Now they've graduated to firing people and forcing everybody out without severance by creating a toxic atmosphere that nobody with any options wants to stick around for. Those who were laid off with severance were among the lucky ones, if you ask me. — read more
