People keep posting that they are safe from layoffs.

How special tech talents are hired in states where there are no software development centers?

Pulse survey is just a way for them to say "we see you, we hear you" when in fact not seeing or hearing anything we are saying. They think that we are going to fall for this BS gaslighting.

If you want to know who to let go first, just scan your team’s LinkedIn activity. The ones with zero meaningful deliverables yet constantly posting generic AI-generated slope are telling you everything you need to know. They’re not building value... — read more

Someone was saying they heard that the FL Regional center was going back to on-site 1 week a month, seems strange as most sites are going to full time on site. Probably just a wishful thinking rumor.

What was the town hall all about? They told us it was important but then didn't allow us to go to it. Did I miss anything or was it just more nonsense?

The hr requirement is 50% for in office time. I’ve seen the policy in writing. I’m so sick of managers lying about HR saying how terrible they are. I honestly think managers bonuses are tied to the in office attendance.
