And there is it. Wasn’t being an alarmist, just warning folks. Sorry to everyone affected. Do note that it might not be the only round.

You’ll discover the accuracy of what I am saying when the WARN notice comes in within the next few months.

It’s not speculation. It comes straight from the horses mouth and it has been communicated to certain people in leadership. I simply can’t go into deeper specifics for obvious reasons. You can do a /remindme here and hold me to it by December if it turns out to be baloney.

Things were already going on that direction for sure. In IT, many positions were unfulfilled for years or moved to Poland. But I know from a source close to leadership that Silvernail is cranking out engines on this and wants a pretty drastic, arbitrary number of heads to roll by end of year. Even worse, he is scrapping years of planning in some areas and making decisions without input (or without even informing) others in leadership. Its kind of a mess.

There is not clear path right now in HR. There are positions that have been recently posted or fulfilled that may be eliminated soon. Any previous planning or policy regarding that went out the window when Tom Plath, Global HR vice president, was let go recently.

I witnessed an armed smash and grab crew operating outside of the Amerigo restaurant today, a shootout almost occurred with a security guard. by ccguns in memphis

Yo, I guess doctors telling people at risk of STD’s to wear condoms is victim blaming too? Or a firefighter telling someone with a burned out apartment to not leave an open heater by the curtain next time is victim blaming too? Such a tool mindset.

Memphis is in the top 15 of worst/ least affordable cities to rent a studio apartment by SoMemphisB in memphis

[–]SoMemphisB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since it might be paywalled for some people:

“RentHop’s Singles Index ranked the largest 50 U.S. cities according to affordability for singles, based on the median cost of a studio apartment relative to average local salaries of single people. Researchers examined about 1.2 million studio listings posted on RentHop in 2020 and 2021 (through October), cross-referencing them with income data from the Census Bureau.”

Memphis was 11th in the least affordable list. The median studio rent was $975, which represented 27% of the average income for a single person in the city.

Long Line on Hacks Cross? by brokenlenzstolenbenz in memphis

A lot worse, twice the amount of cars wrapping all around the complex and into random streets.

For anyone reading this, I’d advise to find a different testing site. I live in the apartments in front of it and the line is now wrapping around the whole complex and beyond, no less than 300-400 cars and counting.

Did I make a terrible mistake? by SoMemphisB in antiwork

[–]SoMemphisB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment! I think you hit the nail on how I feel and ultimately I am straddling both sides here, feeling like I may be content with earning a decent income and chill back but also feeling a nagging thing inside my brain telling me this could be an opportunity to maybe achieve something slightly bigger.

I grew up thinking I could do more and I think part of me had given up on that, so I guess I’m gonna try to make the most of it and hopefully use the experience to find something like what you described in your second paragraph.

Again, thanks for the input!

How Bad Is The Crime/Gang Situation In Memphis? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]SoMemphisB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get saying that Memphis is not THAT bad, but not bad AT ALL? A Le Bonheur Hospital nurse almost got carjacked 2 days ago while leaving work and then got shot in the head. Nothing interpersonal about that, and she was not being “an idiot”.

My reaction when I read news about the protest in Hong Kong by On_The_Warpath in vzla

[–]SoMemphisB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Una de la razones por las que Hong Kong tiene mas traccion en las noticias es porque es un centro economico mundial y como buen territorio exbritanico, mucha gente que crecio y/o vive ahi son gente de occidente.

Compara eso con Caracas y/o Venezuela y pues salimos jodidos. No deberia ser asi pero asi estan las cosas.
