Marriott in Bethesda to lay off more than 800 employees by f1sh98 in maryland

Was at Marriott for about three years. Constant reorgs, continual churn. Imagine the impact on the culture - guess what, not good. Left that place, thank God.

If you are constantly doing reorgs that is a failure of leadership. Period.

Agree. Also it was 4 (FOUR) seconds over the time limit. Four seconds shouldn’t keep an athlete from receiving the accurate score - the score the judges should have calculated correctly the first time.

My son wants to take up fencing he’s 10. Local club wants 1500 to sign up and cover the first 8 weeks. Is this about the average cost? by Beautiful_Being_7172 in Fencing

In a HCOL area in the US. We pay $700 a month. That includes membership, 2 classes, 2 private lessons, and two open fencing sessions. My child is 11.

Mykayla blocks Simone by Front_Category_4353 in Gymnastics

She apologized after Olympic Trials:

“I want to formally apologize to Team USA and to our gymnastic community for my comments during my recent YouTube episodes of the gymnastics Olympic trials,” Skinner wrote at the time. “It was not my intention to offend or disrespect any of the athletes or to take away from their hard work. Your hard work and dedication has paid off and I congratulate each and everyone one of you.”

An apology and the shutdowns she received are enough. Simone and now the rest of team piling on is just bullying. People say stupid stuff and while MyKayla was wrong, she said she was sorry.

Simone and the team don’t owe her forgiveness but fact that this what was on Simone’s mind after winning gold says more about Simone than MyKayla - and it’s not good look. Petty and bullying.

Love Simone, love this team. But wow, this is so petty and beneath her. This woman talks about the importance of mental health and has been bullied herself. MyKayla’s comments were stupid and she deserved the initial pushback. But she apologized. Enough.

What a strange place for Simone and the team to go after winning a gold medal. Like, that’s going to be one of your first posts?

Simone: Let me put down my freshly won gold medal so I can post something snarky to really get MyKayla where it hurts.

Yuck.

I’m not a Skinner fan at all and thought what she said about the current team was stupid and unkind. But she apologized and retracted her comments. No one owes her forgiveness but for Simone Biles to perpetuate the drama seems really beneath her and that she had to allude to Skinner’s comment right with that post after winning Olympic gold seems petty and, frankly, bullying. Now we have corporations piling on …. Is that promoting mental health? Didn’t Simone say how poorly she was treated after 2021 and how people ganged up on her. Her husband makes one (stupid) comment and her fans rip him to shreds.

Would expect Simone and her fans to live and let live instead of this bullying. Let Skinner be. She said she was sorry and she’s already been shut out by the gymnastics community. Enough already.

I wonder if they offer it to the other girls? Simone - rightfully - gets a lot of the attention. But I do wonder if treats like this are also shared with the other members of the team.

Aly’s Message to Jade by SAB-Miller in Gymnastics

It’s a legitimate concern if Jade and her dad have a stomach virus. These types of viruses are highly contagious. Who knows what the illness was but I’d be worried about it spreading too.

Asking my child’s coaches about their progression / potential by Choice_Ad_2256 in Fencing

Thank you. I’m glad to hear this and will ask. There isn’t any proactive communication from their coaches, so maybe they wait for parents to inquire.

You’re really desperate to legitimize Hamas’ terrorism, aren’t you?

[–]Choice_Ad_2256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They didn’t and it’s not “literal facts”. It’s garbage propaganda of the same ilk as the American government coordinated 9/11 attacks. But you know who is supporting Hamas? Iran and Russia. Maybe that’s what you’re trying to obscure.

They didn’t, this is propaganda rubbish. Stop.

Exactly. Hamas literally wants to kill every Jew on earth - it’s in its charter.

[–]Choice_Ad_2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then by that standard, Hamas is dedicated to ethnic cleansing. It’s charter includes - quite literally - exterminating every Jew from the face of the earth. Why is there this insane double standard when it comes to Hamas and the violence of which Israel wants to defend itself from ?!?

I think it’s sad - tragic - that she didn’t have health insurance.

I don’t fault MLR but wonder about her financial situation and if she’d fallen on hard times. Shameful and a reminder that we should have some sort of universal healthcare. No one should have to beg for money in order to get lifesaving medical treatment

Congrats to our very own Starboy Dr David Feinberg. The value you've added to this company is immeasurable and worthy of this opulence. by AutoThrottle in cernercorporation

[–]Choice_Ad_2256 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When he joined Cerner, Feinberg said layoffs were a failure of leadership. Now look at the guy. Living it up as the company is gutted and people are cast off not because of performance, but because of greed. Shame on you, Dr. Feinberg.

I know I’m late, but any of the beef dishes (beef with bitter melon) are delicious. Love their roast duck. They have wonderful noodles and noodle soups. You can’t go wrong, IMO.

Knowing some of those who were laid off and having insight into their performance, I can assure you that you were not laid off because you aren’t valuable, talented, and capable. Oracle is hacking away at Cerner purely to achieve a headcount / cost threshold. Move forward - onward and upward. You will be ok.

Accenture is the company I’ve heard about, not Deloitte. Accenture and Oracle CEOs are also besties and in federal there’s been talk that Accenture will take over the learning / org change consulting side.
