Seems like Thursday is the new Friday in Houston. Maybe most folks are only working Tues and Wed in the office.
Thoughts on when the next major round of layoffs could happen?

Leaving due to bad leadership
Technical management in Surface is not technical and talks in circles. Never commits to anything… we keep doing the same stuff even though we say we want to be builders. 10 years in and I’m done with the frustration. That’s the top issue. Then Amazon... — read more

IT townhall now requires SSO for pollev
The stated reason is transparency? This makes 0 sense. It's a boycott on questions. Our management are such cowards. Don't be a coward Bill. I guess folks who leave should boycott their 2 weeks notice and just walk and enjoy the time off.
