Dragging this crap from home to the #office everyday kind of sucks. It would be nice if we had desk that we could call our own on which we could place belongings and leave them there. We are required to have our desks empty at the end of each day.
@ThinkingSapien Obviously, I don't know your exact situation, but I think I'd be looking for a new job where the employer treats employees like humans instead of cattle.
Yeah, considering options. While there were some tough times and layoffs over the course of 11 or 12 years, there was always at least thebappearsnce of compassion. They are becoming a bot hostile and unreasonable. I think I am likely to benlaid off in a month or so. That may be preferred so that I can get a severance package on my way out.
Things in the offices are just weird now. I've been speaking with some other employees on anonymous social networks...
Glad I am not in a certain other office.
The company decided to keep a cheaper building further from many of the employees and get rid of the other two. Those employees now face 3 hours of commute time each day. In a town hall they asked for consideration for the lo get commute and said it was likely to affect productivity.
Management said compromised productivity is not allowed and that "we" must live with the new office decision.
@ThinkingSapien Wow, corporate "go fuck yourself"s don't usually get that explicit.
@ThinkingSapien My guess would be that they've just been waiting to do this kind of thing and when they see other companies do it, it gives them cover.
I find it especially odd that two other people I know in different industries or getting similar messages at about the same time.
I am asking myself if the similar messages and timing are conscious parallelism (let's do what that company just did!) or if some entity out there is coming up with strategies and distributing them.
