Why do I constantly feel like they want to get rid of all of us?
What is the point of putting so much pressure on us with unrealistic expectations, passive-aggressive management, cultivated toxicity, and highly flexible performance grading unless they are trying to force us out? It seems like far too much effort... — read more
In office + mandatory screen time = conflicting messaging
From we've been told, you need 6.5 hours of activity a day. For an 8 hour day, that works out to 1 hour for lunch, and two 15 minute breaks. But the conflict between in-office and mandatory digital activity is really striking. How can you... — read more

New year same gaslighting
The biggest reason people doesn’t trust management is we can see with our own eyes what they tell us isn’t true. We work better in person- sure, me sitting alone in a cubicle trying to make sure I click a button a certain undefined number of times is... — read more

Institutional knowledge means nothing these days
It’s crazy to see that someone who knows the company inside and out and has years of experience can be let go just like a newbie. How did we get to a place where tenure and expertise don’t matter at all?

I’m willing to take almost any other job, even one that pays less, just to be able to leave this place. Five years here have felt like ten anywhere else.
F….
I just got laid off now. It’s fcking start of the year.

Work is supposed to be fun
Work is supposed to be fun, but companies have made it so difficult that many Gen X and Gen Z employees hate going to the office and feel like they’re just following marching orders. The ’90s and early 2000s felt more enjoyable because we had people... — read more
