I quit my job after they randomly fired a ton of key people at my company. When I quit for my new job my boss was like “but whyyyyy!?”

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago

Same.

First they blocked my promotion under a freeze. Then they did layoffs and got rid of people who I respected and had 10 years with the company. It seemed incredibly random.

I quit not long after that. Internal culture just immediately died, deadlines got stupid, everything turned into infighting for resources. From the people I know who stayed most have quit since then, it got incredibly toxic.

What sucks is your boss probably had nothing to do with the situation and is suffering just as much under increased workload. Fuck the C suite

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Nah unfortunately he was choosing people too, mostly folks he didn’t like. At one point he stood behind my desk and said, “We really need to make things more efficient here.” Then gave me a long stare with a smirk.

[-] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 1 day ago

Sucks. I've been involved in situations where managers are literally in tears because they're being forced to lay off people on their teams. Your guy sounds like a psychopath

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Damn you made the whole situation efficient as fuck lol

Bill Lumbergh: Oh, and next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day... so, you know, if you want to you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

Bill Lumbergh: Ah, ah, I almost forgot... I'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too. We, uhhh, lost some people this week and we sorta need to play catch-up. Mmmmmkay? Thaaaaaanks.

From my favorite comedy ever - Office Space.

Copilot: A significant amount of distressed phone calls about lost family members were recorded coming from this school in the West Bank. What action would you like to take?

Asha: bomb or BOMB?

That was my exact first thought when I read that headline.

[-] wahooyeeha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

A friday pizza party oughta do it.

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 33 points 1 day ago

Zuckerberg offered employees access to permanent desks, a symbolic gesture that unintentionally illustrated how expendable many of them had become.

Ouch, I worked at places like this around the '09 crunch. Fresh out of college and I was absolutely anchorless in my career, unable to find a human manager who knew my name and would recognize me day over day. This sort of shit is going in the pile of counters to "(millennials/Z/Alpha) just don't work as hard or show loyalty to their jobs anymore".

Specifically, the billionaire promised to host a companywide AI hackathon in July — only to get brutally shut down by workers who were in no mood for such a thing.

lmao how out of touch can one be. "Hey, cheer up, we'll have fun working 48h straight in July. Did I mention free pizza?"

How is this not The Onion?

[-] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

"Looks back at the community"

Goddamit.

We live in the timeline where The Onion is real.

It’s so fun to pick up the slack for workloads left from mass layoffs - come on guys.

[-] NM_Gringo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Are you not entertained?

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

orders employees to have fun again

Yeah, sure ...... Having fun works that way /s

[-] db2@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

It might be something someone would think when they have no basis for understanding any basic human behaviors.

[-] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago

Poor Zuck. As a robot, he doesn't understand why his workers are so upset. They still have a job. He cut the inefficiency, placed more work on the remaining employees, and probably tells them to pick up the slack by using AI or something like that....

He also probably saved billions.

In his robot brain: "Why aren't they happy for me to succeed?"

"hello fellow humans, i require you organic units to have "fun" so that i can master that part of humanity"-zuckerborg.
