So is CIBT personnel going to HY?
I know damn well most crusty as fu-k managers that have McMansions in CT will not go to Jersey so wtf is happening this NOV?

Just send the email dang it! This is mental torture.

I skipped the last blow hard circlej--kAnyone care to give a short autopsy?

Sorry, not sorry.

How many times will I need to hear his sp-t?

She walked by and clearly saw the job posting on my screen. When she asked about it, I lied and said I was looking at salary benchmarks for a friend. The look on her face told me she didn't buy it. Can I be fired over this?

Should I take it as a sign? Lol.

We just got another fun email on oneway dell timesheets. seriously its like nothing works here in any place.

Can't even take holidays like normal person in NORMAL company.

After back-to-back meetings about the same things we had meetings about last week and a passive-aggressive ping from a director who can't articulate what he wants, yesterday I was tempted to google "fast food hiring near me." I'm honestly at the point where the simplicity of flipping burgers seems superior to this mess.

I want to know the opinion of the layoff board members here.

Execs frequently use political actions (incl. backstabbing) and complex organization systems.

Aggressive behavior and self-admiration also help these leaders.

I see that many executive leaders speak for long periods because they like their own voices.

This behavior is a part of self-admiration.

Whos having a corporate visit soon?

I have been thinking of things I would like to say or do to show my appreciation for people like Cameron or Laurent. They have given us so much. So last night I went and got a whole bunch of taco bell gift cards and I will send one a week to them. This way these two can keep sh-----g on us for the rest of the year. There is not enough toilet paper in the world for the two. Frenchy should go back home and cameron, you may want to consider just resigning, the stockholders have lost more money on your decisions than they will ever recover. I promise if you two do leave, we will have a proper send-off. We could either bring in some pizza or maybe do another one of those virtual happy hours we all loved. Dont worry about the expense. We can use some of the money you saved on raises this year by canning people right before the merit increase. Nice move dou--ebags. Have a great weekend and make sure to ask for extra lettuce when you order your lunch. My hope is I will be the one waiting on you when you come in to order. I'll hook you up with an extra chalupa.

Good luck to all!

Any chance it'll wrap up today?

How about instead of mistreating the folks actually doing the work at the L1 level, we get rid of a LOT of the fluff at the L3 and higher level?....There are so many L3s who do nothing but host teams calls where they circlej--kand throw out "Insightful" quotes to try to sound intelligent before we spend an hour listening to something that literally could have been an email so they can feign "Collaboration". Someone mentioned that ja----s Louie Lewis earlier in this thread and he has these fu-k a-s "Jam Sessions" weekly where its just him hosting and playing his favorite music before trying to seem Insightful like we all don't have sh-t to do. I swear to god im just waiting to hear back from some roles I have applied to so I can GTFO out of Dallas for good.

Fonts and Colors. And has an army of yes people to crack the whip. Spent more time walking the line activities than driving OI there. Total knucklehead operation.

I worked for other large companies in the West and the Midwest prior to joining GN&T in the Northeast. My Western and Midwestern bosses were friendly and would greet me, ask me how things were going, make small talk etc…

My Verizon GN&T were the complete opposite. Hardly ever greeted me, didn’t make conversation about work or anything else. One ED wouldn’t even answer if you said good morning if you happened to be riding in the same elevator on the way to the office. This silent treatment makes for a pretty unpleasant working environment.

I’m curious what other people’s experiences are like. Is this a Northeast thing? A Verizon thing? Or what? I’m an introvert and I’m not seeking to start long conversations but greeting someone back is basic courtesy.

KD our fearless minister of people and culture will be hosting an informal meeting with the Houston staff. This will be KD’s last official visit to the United States and she is keen on commiserating and socializing. The top leadership will all go to the World Cup England match in bp’s private suite… Ta ta

I thought remote positions were gone for good? I keep hearing people becoming remote that live, in my opinion, a commutable distance from the office.

How are these people getting remote approval?

At Boeing let’s name all the shitHole department to avoid!

Any news?

The people who rise through the ranks aren't the ones who know what they're doing. They're the ones who barely understand their own jobs. It would be funny to watch if it wasn't so infuriating. Competence isn't valued, ignorance and good a-s-kissing skills are.

Do you think Sarah London has any idea who The Clash even are.

This has bugged me for a long time.

Anyone else laughing at the latest VZ Email = Your $10 in Verizon Dollars is here!! WTF are they smoking as its right up there with Simplicity is Se-y! We are done for!!

I remember when this place actually felt good to be at, but that was before a certain (leaving this vague for a reason) group got hired in one big batch and shifted the whole dynamic. They built their own little group, pushed out the old guard, and now it is all gossip and maneuvering instead of just getting things done. I have been here around seventeen years and at this point I just want to do my job and go home without worrying about who is talking about who or what game is being played next.

I’m slaving away working my four carts. Trying to get it all put out fast so me CPH will be high and I won’t go over me time….IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Sweat rolling off my face.
Then I see this ONE cart that three Walmart people are working on… they each pick up one case at a time walk down the aisle where it goes they come back and they chat, giggle take a few minutes. Take a few more minutes. They’re having a good ole time.
I’m thinking WHAT!!.. In my brain. Guess I took a moment too (Giggle)
Sweat still rolling down me face as I have to get back on the hamster wheel.
Just thought I would share that.

Watch what you say in PA office. Program manager has an ax to grind.

Just for S&Gs, send boss an email, “I’ve deleted the legal hold folders as you’ve directed before turning in my laptop. I think you’ll be safe.”

Our store manager has her favorite minions
Calling them “sweetie”, “baby” “honey” and talking to them like they are her own children——-weird

Store H.R. literally drinks coffee all day, every day. And gossips with her clique.
When someone who is not in the clique walks near them, it suddenly gets quiet.

Support team is a clique. Same thing when you get closer to them in the hallway or office it suddenly gets quiet

Store manager MAYBE working 35 hours a week, and usually closer to 33, 9-4 Monday to Friday, lots of PTO and time off.

HR works 7-2, or 8-3, and never works Saturday or Sunday. Never.Gives little to no information or help, never correctes missing punch, delayed in responding to schedule changes or issues

Looks like FHE isn't paying the bills again! Unfulfilled orders are piling up, haven't seen any D&H or Ingram Micro orders in weeks. Rumors abound on Slack about cashflow issues again, but of course OTC is tight-lipped, pretending there's no issue, while the boots on the ground have to deal with the pi---d-off institutional customers. May be time to desert the sinking ship....

Nothing happening this week or next, company is moving forward preparing for kick off , no layoffs

We are like the New York jets!!!!!!! Too many upper managers managing their careers instead of the business!!!!!!

What’s the word on that team? Full of ignorant fools who thinks very highly of themselves

Does anybody else feel like the only task their managers have is to make our lives miserable? Never helping us but always there to add an unnecessary comment and complicate simple things. I honestly believe T would be a better place without the lot of them.
