Their answers to questions were so bad. They are so disingenuous. There feels like there is so much more of a push to do more work and their answers are just around that they do so much research on pay, bonuses are good, etc.
We don’t buy it. Why even act like you are being transparent when your answers are so bad.
@17j At least she/her was this first funny host that I can remember.
Just watched the replay!! OMG what a joke! I did like the comment about not wearing a hat because it makes them look like a boy isn’t that the look you’re going for??? DEI on full display.
Where was PP? Where was SM? Why schedule these when they have conflicts? Then we talked about sports for 30 minutes to avoid the tough questions. Shameful.
@a2 was this GP's initials JM? My department's former GP always pushed for increased salary grades. Invited Human Capital to meetings only to watch them fold like a cheap tent, give bs answers, and refuse questions. Reimagined was announced and then he retired. Great leader who got things done and was still quite young.
@qk I don't attend, but I watch them if I can to see if I can read between the lines and pick up on anything VS coming here and sifting through rumors etc. It's usually like a bad car wreck though, I don't want to see it, but still look to see how bad it really is.
Why do you attend anymore? I stopped attending, way better for my mental health and I feel smarter for not having to listen to anyone from ELT.
Incompetent bunch.
@n3 It's kind of like in countries with dictators where they have "elections" for the optics of living in country where people can vote. But, dictator runs against nobody and everyone is required to vote, or else. Here at EDJ, ELT, PP and her gang of wino sority sisters, do not care how destructive their policies are. They don't care how unhappy everyone is, they don't care if the numbers are rapidly trending the wrong way. All they care about is their power trip and their $ they are bleeding this company of. Millions have been spent now on failed marketing strategy and millions more will be flushed away on failed AI slop programs. Anyone that crosses these the lunatics though, will be shown the door. That was what VSP/ISP was all about last year. Get rid of any would be GP who would not go along with their insane decisions. Also checks out that new company policies will require 50% GP vote of approval to merge or go public. Dont worry though, PP promises we won't ever do that. s/
Why even host these if you’re not willing to listen to your associates?
I blame PP for lack of leadership. She sets the tone, which has been lie through your teeth and pretend associates are d-mb.
Seriously? PP and/or SM can’t show up to take the hard questions they know are coming? They have full control of the calendar. Cowards
Q: Our Culture stinks now. You babysit us.
A: We are all responsible for our culture
Q: We are underpaid and over worked since ER.
A: We are benchmarking salaries just like we always do!
Q: Why are there still so many changes post ER?
A: ER was our best guess, we were wrong and will keep changing until we get it right.
Are these people this out of touch with reality or just incompetent? I really thought we might hear some booos in the auditorium.
Where are the GPs responsible for these decisions? Hiding?
@c9 Im sure they all have a healthy diet of cheap wine and various pills they take every day to make themselves believe they are "doing right". When you have to put on an act like what we saw yesterday, you have to wonder if these people are mentally well.
@d2 Ive seen some pretty cringe things at this place before, but yesterday made the top 3. These fools are so out of touch with reality it's scary. Next month they will all be out there dressed as clowns juggling imaginary AI tokens while circus music plays.
At this point we just need a complete reset / ELT roster. They've lost the firm.
@bt I know! What’s up with the giggling when talking about serious topics! I found the entire meeting to be unprofessional and insulting.
No home office GP willing to take the stage. They know.
This place gets more sketchy by minute. It's never been squeaky clean, but there was always an unwritten agreement that the higher ups would do their thing, and the associates would be treated with respect in exchange for lower pay VS the rest of the field. The cr-p pay was offset by job security, flexibility, and remote work options. All that is gone with no increase in pay. Do these clowns really think this business model is sustainable? Put the adults back in charge ASAP!
The response continues to be high level non answers and a laughing matter. When the question was asked about fair pay and JK answered we’re doing a benchmark study. Are you serious? We’ve been told that for 10 yrs. It was deprioritized over the last 5 years because the job market was too hot for you to afford it. A GP was asked to leave over pressing the issue. Now, you want to complete a study when the job market su-ks. This is seriously the leadership we’re dealing with.
What’s with putting the second and third level leadership as the front line for this. More senior leaders hiding. Where was Digital leadership to talk about the poor system performance?
