What the he-l are these jokers on about? What even is "the culture"?
"Bringing back a notion of taking that extra step."
"You need to have a way of thinking about health care that is different from other products."
"It's a different culture than just a commercial culture."
"To be more explicit about that, we were calling that out because we were way too tense and needed to define who we wanted to be."
Could you have used more words to say nothing, sir?
Wow, huge Shoutout to the TR Management Team. I crunched some numbers, and I have made more money shorting the TR stock over the last year than I have on my own commission.
Please allow me to buy you drinks at ASM! Can speak for the other 1000's employees that want you fired, but you are heroes in my book!
In the past month, I visited two leading microbiology labs in top U.S. hospitals. One lab had nearly 80 people performing the same task; the other had just five! Why don’t labs just start understaffing like we do! Need more yachts.
Ya'll ready to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps?
... the boot steps on you.
Hi guys, JW here. It is now near the end of the transformation notifications and I just want to say that I am truly proud of everyone for showing up to work.
To those we severed and to those we are forcing to leave (in one form or another), I’d like to say thank you for maximizing shareholder value. Thank you for the long hours and free labour.
To those who chose to stay and were notified of fulfilling positions, the company isn’t done draining the life force out of you. We will eventually and in due time also cut you out. Extend our sincerest thanks to your family for uprooting their lives to move and support your ending career.
And just a reminder to please refrain from disclosing or sharing any confidential or proprietary information outside of the company you love and trust.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They should make a Nobel prize for acting
As of January 2026, Intel (INTC) shares are exhibiting "meme stock" characteristics, with high volatility driven by headline-driven sentiment—specifically U.S. CHIPS Act narratives and turnaround hopes—rather than strong fundamentals. Despite a 27% gain in early 2026, shares plunged 17% in late January due to weak Q1 forecasts.
Key Aspects of Intel's Meme Stock Status (2026):
Disconnect from Fundamentals: Analysts describe the stock as having "meme" tendencies, with price action driven by hype rather than earnings, as the company lags significantly behind competitors in AI growth.
Volatile Performance: After an 84% gain in 2025, the stock continued to rise early in 2026 before crashing. A January 2026, 17% drop wiped out over (\$46) billion in market value following weak guidance and supply constraints.
Turnaround Hopes vs. Reality: While investors are buying into the narrative of a "comeback" and potential government support, Intel is struggling with manufacturing, losing market share to AMD and ARM.
Risky Valuation: Some models suggest the "fair price" for the stock is significantly lower than its recent trading price, highlighting the speculative nature of the current valuation.
Interesting choice of photos for the HR email. Five employees shown in four separate photos. All very diverse. So proud to be a part of such a diverse company that is so focused on DEI!
Since we need to have open no fixed space working spaces it is critical that we differentiate ourselves from other animals in the kingdom forced into harvesting pens. Let's ask our leaders for Chevron scented candles to at least remove the negative impacts of those that harvest in the common space.
My goal is to find another Ford job where I am not required to produce any kind of work.
I just want to come into work late and leave early. During the day I want to be left alone and take hour walks around the building several times day.
So, I'd like to know what other internal Ford jobs I can apply too that meet my requirements of having to produce no tangible work.
In the lastest company communication, Ron says we 'mark a strong finish to another successful year for State Street'.
He also mentioned that he looking forward into workforce reductions. What a stand up guy!
If you heard your manager this month saying they had to attend 'transformation' meetings, this is what it was: Next Gen transformation. You and are team may get impacted.
If you ever watched the movie, Meatballs, you’ll feel a connection working for this company. All of us can chant, IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER! Poor Morty!
Guys, HP stock is at a 52 week low. Lets make another run for them. Maybe Dell. If we are going to go down, lets go down big.
“In 20026 don’t be afraid to cut everybody” off.
Seriously, GN&T employees, you need to pay better attention to what dear leader is saying!
I’m confused. According to our leaders, we have the best network. Currently experiencing nationwide outage. Great job! Customers who left will surely come running back!
Setting the foundation!!! Let’s go V Teamers!
I’ll sum the email up for you quickly:
“You American employees are too expensive and we need to make the stock price go up, we’re going to be spending the next 24 months laying off as many of you as possible to be replaced with AI and/or cheap India labor”
I appreciate the heads up, but a 2 year timeline is crazy.
Alright let’s get that network in tip top shape union men. Clean those fibers, wait for those trouble tickets and scan those 5 dollar jumper cables. Those managers need billable work we can do it. Lets create those tickets to make us look busy we can do it!
To: My Valued Cost-Centers (Employees),
Happy New Year! As I sit here in my climate-controlled, triple-glazed corner suite, watching the sunrise over the yacht club, I couldn't help but feel a fleeting sense of warmth—though that may have just been the heated massage function on my Italian leather chair.
2026 is the year of Synergy, Sacrifice, and Shareholder Supremacy.
The Triumph of the Office Return
I want to personally congratulate those of you who have successfully navigated the commute to join us in the office at least 3 days a week. Seeing you all hunched over your laptops, participating in Teams meetings with the person sitting three feet away, truly warms my heart. It’s that "water cooler magic" we talked about—even if the water cooler was removed to make room for another row of unassigned lockers.
I’m aware that some of you have complained about the Hot-Desking Lottery. Look at it as a daily adventure! Will you find a desk with a working monitor today? Or will you spend your morning playing "musical chairs" with a tangled nest of broken HDMI cables? If you find yourself working from the broom closet again, just remember: it’s not a "broom closet," it’s a Cozy Collaboration Pod™.
Efficiency: Our North Star
While you are busy creating value for our institutional investors, I have been busy ideating. To ensure we are squeezing every drop of "lemonade" out of our human capital, I am thrilled to announce several Employee Wellness & Productivity Initiatives for Q1:
Bio-Break Benchmarking: We’ve noticed a slight dip in keystrokes during mid-morning. To help you stay on track, we are installing "Smart-Flush" sensors. If a restroom visit exceeds the mandated 120-second "Standard Relief Window," an automated alert will be sent to your manager to discuss your time-management skills.
The "Big Wael" Policy: In the spirit of your favorite office slang, we’re aiming for maximum efficiency in all... movements. If you’re going to "take a Big Wael," please ensure you’ve pre-filed a "Functional Downtime" request. We wouldn't want your lack of productivity to be as disappointing as a stagnant stock price.
Oxygen Optimization: Studies show that humans exhale carbon dioxide, which is bad for the environment (and our ESG score). We are considering a "Breath-Per-Minute" tax to encourage calm, shallow, and highly efficient respiration while at your desks.
Vertical Desking: Why sit or stand when you can lean? We are replacing chairs with 75-degree padded planks to ensure no one gets too comfortable. Comfort is the enemy of the 52-week high.
Looking Ahead
Remember, every time you struggle to find a functional mouse or spend 45 minutes looking for a stapler, a shareholder somewhere gets their wings (or a slightly larger dividend). You aren't just "employees"; you are the fuel we burn to reach the moon.
Now, stop reading this and get back to your Teams call. I can see your "Active" status flickering from here.
In Solidarity (With the Board),
The CEO
lol all they do is have “meetings” about work other people do and then eat expensive food on the company dime and fly around
He only has $700 million. We need to get him to a billion.
That Brian gets another 28% raise. He really needs it. I'm cool with being overlooked for any merit increases or standard of living adjustment. Brian's well being means too much for me to accept anything less for him.
It look a lot of Leadership, apathetic employees, meetings, PowerPoints, bad ideas and ineffective and incapable management to accomplish this ! # PEPPROUD
Except for Sheety, Jon Freier, Mike Katz, Jeff Simon, and Deanne.
It’s been a long time since the last reminder that the “leaders” of L and D are still not accomplishing anything.
They are trying hard so I guess they deserve a participation trophy. Bless their hearts.
Merry Christmas to my underlings,
Let’s be clear: your output this year has been underwhelming at best. You have not fully committed to inspiring and building better lives and communities; and frankly, it’s embarrassing. I need you to work harder next year so my bonus doesn’t suffer because of your mediocrity.
Despite the fact that none of you have earned it, I might throw you a 1% raise, and that’s a big might. That goodwill evaporates the moment I hear another word about the 5-day RTO. I’m beyond tired of the whining, the entitlement, and the endless complaining. Do your jobs, show up where you’re told, and keep your opinions to yourselves.
Go ahead and enjoy whatever time you have with your families now, because starting next week your time belongs to me. Don’t get comfortable, don’t get ideas, and don’t forget who signs the checks.
Sincerely,
Bill
I will go first.
What is the name of the company invading the privacy of former employees and stealing intellectual property from them?
If your answer is correct then you will hear popping sounds inside your house.
Happy Holidays!
And looking to 2026.
Have the traditional Christmas layoffs started yet?
Hey Y'all!
To celebrate the upcoming Holidays and our new ad campaign, I wanted to share with you how I found my rich in 2025:
How will you Find Your Rich?
The only thing he’s doing is planning ahead for the 2026 layoffs in January
What piece of art would you select - I vote for we are a family...
Real players are Aruba going forward, and he's the guy where they pull the string on his back and watch the show for a few minutes. You can tell he's just copying himself, wondering how to get a seat at the adults table for the big dinner.

Nearly a billion in costs for rebranding has really turned the company around! All my friends neighbors and family love the new color and tell me all the time how they my employer, netflix. Thanks Leslie!
