A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Whole Maryland office is being "consolidated" with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous.

Assholes at the top are the reason they're losing money, production as far as I can tell was quite lean and putting out lots of product. They're just gonna lop an arm off and hope it works out, and fuck the rest of us now out of a job cause they can't balance overhead.

My company says we don't sell 30 million in flooring in next 6 months we might have to close our doors. But in the next two weeks they are flying all the branch managers to Chicago, putting in a fancy hotels and wine and dine them. They already did the same thing with the sales reps. I asked If they couldn't have these meetings on Zoom. My boss didn't like that.

Fucking new CEO one of those guys who last 5 companies he ran them into the ground. Already does weekly Zoom meetings I see no reason company that apparently running out of money had to close 20 branches suddenly as all the money to throw around wining and dining upper management.

Vulture Capitalism, the C level and board are somehow sucking all the money out of the company before they bounce.
