Unattended logged in Laptop/Desktop left at Office => 100% RTO Compliance

But Employee visited maybe once a week or month. Additionally, there are various tools and adapters available that allow for remote access to different ports without violating any Information Security controls or processes (very simple tools on Amazon/Ebay).

The introduction of the USB New RTO policy, which includes a 2026 Talent and Performance Metric that logs hours at a hub or triggers a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), has become a subject of humor within the corporate environment, often leading to memes that ridicule the corporate productivity policy and how not to be a CEO or how not to treat your employees.

Bill here (I'm rich and you are not)

INTERNAL COMMUNICATION — CONFIDENTIAL
From: Bill, Chief Executive Officer
To: Our Valued Truist Teammates

Team,

Hope those jet engines are humming! The sound of productivity is truly music to my dividend-loving ears. Every hour you grind away keeps Truist soaring and my bank accounts smiling. You hardworking, salt-of-the-earth folks continue to inspire me, especially those of you in America's deep south, the backbone of our “economic patriotism.”

Let’s face it, your dedication is unmatched. Sure, you might not see those benefits trickle down, but your loyalty and, well, endearing gullibility keep the system running. Honestly, it’s impressive how many of our best-performing teammates still think the reason they’re struggling is immigrants, black and brown people, trans athletes or Democrats rather than, you know, me. But who’s counting?

Remember, keep flying that flag high, keep voting for the guy in the red hat. He’s fighting for you (wink) while I’m reaping the rewards. Together, we’ll Make Truist Great Again! One paycheck, one belief, and one miserable white re----k illusion at a time.

In care,
Bill
Chief Beneficiary Officer

ExxonMobil Formally Declares War on Employees

HOUSTON, TX — In a move analysts are calling “bold,” “innovative,” and “the corporate equivalent of kicking a hornet’s nest,” ExxonMobil executives today announced the immediate elimination of NRE protection for employees — triggering what witnesses describe as a spontaneous, company‑wide emotional Chernobyl.

The announcement, delivered via a 47‑slide deck titled “Agility Through Unilateral Exposure,” reportedly left employees stunned, confused, and Googling whether “NRE” now stands for “No Rights Ever.” One manager attempted to calm the crowd by explaining that the change would “streamline accountability,” but was forced to retreat after someone asked him to define “streamline” without using the words “cost,” “risk,” or “you.”

Sources say morale plummeted so quickly that HR briefly considered issuing oxygen masks. Break rooms across the company have since transformed into impromptu war rooms, where employees are posting in thelayoff.com, forming alliances, and debating whether this counts as “the final straw” or merely “the straw that broke the camel’s spine, spirit, and will to attend optional town halls.”

Executives, meanwhile, insist the change will “unlock new efficiencies,” though insiders report they have begun traveling in pairs for safety.

“Workforce Reduction - Self Nomination Program”

this has to be some reality show at this point, where are the cameras? All you can do is laugh. Who in their right mind will voluntarily raise their hand to be terminated… only to find out volunteering yourself does not gurantee termination. They just did layoffs not even 6 months ago and now this. I would rather them come out and say they are going bankrupt because this is just comical.

Stankeyahu

The year is 2030. TMO is the biggest telecom company in the world, Kraft Mac and Cheese is distributed to every citizen as rations, and John Stankey gave himself a raise to 60M annually. John Stankey’s Amdocs contracted private militia has more workers than Dallas PD.

He looks around the office at the 50 remaining AT&T corporate employees with disdain. “I can’t believe Blackrock makes me employ these poors”, he mutters to himself.

The protestors outside Whitacre Tower pile up against the front doors, as Stankey orders his militia to leave none alive.

Frustrated that he still has employees sticking around, Stankey sends a message to his remaining employees. “Your role is now located in Alakanuk, AK. This is so you can collaborate in the office. You have 10 days to relocate or my private guards will execute you.”

Stankey, happy with the hard work he had done, gives himself another 10M dollar raise. Another rewarding day at the office, and the 10 individual shareholders left in the world applaud him for his integral role in ending the age of employing “Human Resources”.

New RIF day at FIS sounds like...

the opening number to a musical. The Pajama Game (Google it, youngsters) was a musical about employees attempting to negotiate a better contract through their union. The Pajama Game was a musical comedy. This is a musical tragedy. Billie Eilish could do it. This is the theater of the absurd.

We are the Chevron way

I am just absolutely, head-over-heels in love with the 4 days a week in the office! Honestly, I wake up every morning just vibrating with excitement to get into the building. Every time I badge in, I feel a surge of pure adrenaline. 🚀

​I think about how incredibly lucky I am to not be a rig worker and be in 5 days a week. Having that one day of "flexibility" makes the other four feel like a non-stop party of productivity! The synergy in the hallways is palpable—it’s like we’re breathing in innovation and exhaling excellence.

​We are winning so much, and I think the future at Chevron is so bright I have to wear shades in the board room! Let’s keep this incredible momentum going! 📈✨

Welcome Back to the Bigtop!

🎪 Step Right Up: The Traveling Fad Circus 🎪

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back—
where the lions are tired, the tricks are recycled,
and the real spectacle… is management chasing whatever just left town.

First act! The EV extravaganza!

Wall Street packs the tent, dims the lights,
and quietly slips out the back door.

The music stops.

The crowd is gone.

The confetti’s wet.

And just then—
right on cue—
Ford bursts through the curtain:

💥 “WE’RE ALL IN!” 💥

$20 BILLION (yes, with a B)
launched into a party that ended three quarters ago.

Fast forward—
the hangover hits. Hard.

Write-offs. Shrugs. “Market conditions.”

The trapeze artist misses the bar—
but don’t worry, folks…

Second act! The AI spectacular!

“Algorithms will save us!”
“Competitive advantage is now… vibes and compute!”

And again—perfect timing—
Wall Street starts backing away.

Quietly. Then quickly. Then all at once.

“Maybe… we overdid it on AI.”
“Maybe not every company needs to be a tech company.”
“Maybe… just maybe… build something that works.”

But the band keeps playing.

Because nothing says strategy
like arriving late, spending big,
and pivoting just in time to miss the next one too.

And off to the side, in a glowing crystal ball,
a cheerful voice reassures the crowd:

“Don’t worry—AI will be revolutionary!”
“Today!”
“…well, tomorrow.”
“Okay—next week.”
“Fine—next year.”
“Look, the point is—it’s definitely happening.”

Meanwhile, the acrobats are still falling,
the elephants are still expensive,
and the audience is starting to notice.

So stay seated, folks—
the show goes on.

New fad, new costume, same act.

🎪 Next performance: whatever just peaked. 🎪
