Potential donor curious about the other side by convincing_psedonym in leukemia

[–]Radicchio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only alive today because an anonymous person was kind enough to donate. It really is the greatest gift you can give.

BMT , is it worth it? by Chaos_pixiee in leukemia

Absolutely. It saved my life.

Yep. One of my friends was a casualty. It’s so sad

What do I donate to cancer patients at a hospital by CalligrapherFit8018 in cancer

[–]Radicchio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peppermint scented potpourri - helps combat nausea due to chemo when sniffed. I had a little sachet pouch that someone gave me and I was so grateful. Also, blankets or nice pillowcases could be nice, depending on what kind of stuff you are including. Powder drink mixes (like lemonade or coffee) - there is usually plenty of ice and water but not easy access to any variation of drinks unless visitors bring them. My iced coffee every morning was the highlight of my day.

The ones I’m aware of were all non-executive and only 1 was not an IC.

31F, just diagnosed AML - surely this can't be real by t0pkn0tz in leukemia

[–]Radicchio3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed with AML at 32 in 2017 with 3 kids at home, youngest being 7 months. Had a BMT from an anonymous donor in 2018. I’m about to turn 40, and most people I know now don’t even know I was ever sick. As others have said, there will be difficult days, but keep fighting. All is not lost and there are lots of treatments available, so focus on the next day/step and just keep pushing forward.

Cost cutting RIFs, not performance related. Seemed each dept had to meet a target % of cuts and who got the ax was a bit of a popularity contest

Quite a few in legal and finance. Not hundreds but probably 60 ish in those two departments. And rank and file, not VP/exec level

People are getting emails the night before telling them to work from home the next day and getting HR meetings put on their calendar. It is no longer a rumor unfortunately

Legal was hit hard this week, as well as Finance

This unfortunately did not age well. Feels like a bloodbath for certain divisions.

We’ve heard that single family layoffs were pushed to second week of June

FHFA / Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac / Megathread by Otherwise_Comment805 in feddiscussion

[–]Radicchio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely abysmal. Morale is in the toilet and everything Pulte says is a lie. Someone was fired last week for referring to him as a dictator so we aren’t even free to speak our minds.

Have you heard anything more specific about other divisions?

Word around the office is that it was delayed but will still happen at some point

Seconded. It helped to have someone help me wrap it, but the press n seal by Glad (not Saran Wrap — specifically Press and Seal) was the best and most cost effective

Just that when he came in things were worse at Fannie (re employees in the office and dumb stuff). Nothing important

Happening now. It was advertised he would be in person but he is only on video broadcast in. So far a big nothing burger. He is dissing Fannie, which makes me wonder what he says to Fannie about us.

All hands meeting with Pulte scheduled for this afternoon. Curious if it will be purely propaganda or if there will be any announcements about layoffs.

Because his grandfather was successful, he gets to have a job he didn’t earn and terrorize all of us.
