But then you can’t fire them and not have to call it a re org.

It’s nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.
Won’t someone think of the poor capitalists who can’t love better lives then those around them!
/s, just in case.
Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they’ve lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.
That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven’t seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.
Hard to say, you could be right. That’s where I’m less sure. I’ve had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.
The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn’t hand me work and I eventually would leave.
One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I’d have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.
What I’m saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.
So I’ve worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.
They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don’t do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.
Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn’t improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.
So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.
Born Canuck here. Yes one of us, ya hoser.
I mean, he’s a Tigger, not a Tiger, so that’s off.
You are totally right, it’s crazy to think back to it. I was that 12 year old once or twice.
Even more screwed up was there were smoking sections with walls or without. Without… well, it’s smoke. So it’s going into the non smoking section. With walls? It was like an aquarium.
Man, it was rough.
At family friends you’d take a break to get some fresh air or a bathroom break, as they smoked indoors and you had to be nice.
At restaurants I would push my parents for non smoking. One time they skipped that option and it impacted me so much I threw up all over the back seat.
They no longer opted for the smoking section ever again.
They were subject to the same propaganda we all were and no one is immune, so yes, feeling empathy is OK.
Also there is a huge potential problem when you give a group lots of power and then under pay them. They are a lot easier to bribe.
I’m a dude, so being fearless in what I want to do without people questioning me has been a boon in life. Sucks others can’t experience that.
On the other hand, other guys and women assuming I’m an idiot who can barely cook/clean and that my wife handles everything domestic (she doesn’t) is frustrating.
Nonbinary people I have met don’t though, so that’s nice.
I’d make a new Breath of the Wild, but have Link be kidnapped and the game is a mix of stealth as Sheik and Roleplaying as the princess for hel0 from the different kingdoms.
Merchants have become so powerful that I, a serf, have been taught number solely to account for every penny they make. For this, I’m allowed to live an okay life. I do it with magic (Excel) because they are so big and don’t want to hire many of me. They still act like the Dutch and East India Companies, with slightly fewer atrocities.
Think about it: original poster made a joke about Marvel firing a DC person.
Anthony Starr works for an Amazon Prime original, The Boys, as Homelander. So…
“I’m not racist, but” oh, they are going to say something racist.
Huh, you mean a creature that has to rely on the same source for food and procreation isn’t optimal? Weird.
This may not be all bad. You could potentially only work what you’re capable of, and when things inevitably fall behind, basically tell them either you need more money to work multiple people’s jobs or they need to hire.
That said, I understand if you are the main income provider in your family or if you are I’m a career that doesn’t have a lot of jobs if you feel pressured to stick with it and not make a fuss. I had a breakdown in my first accounting job when I was doing 3 peoples work. Really opened my eyes to knowing my worth.
Weirdest ongoing joke, if I remember right. His real name is Nicholas Schimmelpenninck, but when he took over as the main host in season 2, they had shortened it to make it easier to say.
The closest I could think about was Economists speaking out about Reaganomics. I also couldn’t find anything exactly like this, however I did find Bush Sr. Calling it voodoo economics and Democrats actually are credited in some cases as calling it Trickle Down economics as a negative. Even Gerald Ford attacked it, which is something coming from the guy who pardoned Nixon.
I found some criticism from Martin Feldstein in 1986 about the strength of supply side economics and some “extremists”, though that was after the fact.
