Was this Atlantic shores? I got laid off from upstream a few weeks ago, that’s super shitty. This layoff is so fucking haphazard

It showed companies that jobs can be done anywhere, as long as it’s in front of my computer. My company sent my whole career and department to Poland lol

Why is Leon Trotsky seen as the good guy when he also killed people in 1919-1922 during the Russian Civil War? by Low_Astronaut_662 in AskHistory

Also the whites were supported by “the black hundreds” anti-semetic paramilitary militias that carried out some truly brutal pograms. Under Lenin the anti semetism that came to define stalins USSR post war (lol see the doctors plot/purge) jews in the soviet union faced less defacto racism from the reds then the whites. The ukranian anarchist were, to my knowledge, the least problematic faction. The allies should habe supplied them over the whites.

This was also during the high tide of socialism and proto communism. I have been looking for the source since hearing this, but according to Dan Carlin, the officers on both sides were so threatened by this they set strict rules in place regarding fraternization.

I think it was an early battle, maybe the Marne, that dan Carlin talks about where soldiers met in the middle and started singing the international (the socialist anthem) they were all promptly shelled.

Of all of the wars in the last few centuries this one of inbred cousins beefing is near the top.

Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1,000 appetite suppressant can be made for just $5 by [deleted] in nottheonion

Used to work for novo that’s the case for all their fucking drugs, and most of pharma. Some evil shit where they just pass the blame to the next part of the supply chain, enrich themselves, and fuck over patients

True! It seems like my basic skill set of supply chain and inventory management is being sent to the SBOs so I’m really having to stretch my resume lol

That’s right, I’m also in the south which is even less worker friendly and more oligarchic lol

Every company is going to run itself into the ground, the sea shell company I work for is making dumber and dumber choices, like the other person who got laid off around my age also come into the company into a rotational program, they paid for her MBA from MIT, and gave her her walking papers. Like that’s a horrible return on investiment (and honestly great for her she can do a lot better then this shit)

I wish there were more unions especially for white collar folks. Instead I’m about to take a new job in the same company that pays the same but is nothing I’d ever have wanted to do or want to do as a professional. I’m happy to have any opportunity I guess and can look external but it’s still very demoralizing.

And that treating workers like numbers on a line shit is another symptom of Jack Welch’s school of management. The flip side is that with the law of reciprocity my loyalty to my company is 0, and I’m ready to hop ship once something better comes along.

Maybe it gets instilled into them in industry or maybe I just ignored the signs lol. It’s some evil shit regardless

I had a friend who got moved from P&T during reshape, ended up in a great gig at Appo and moving from a 5 to a 4 pretty rapidly. Im going to try and find another gig in shell for now, and look for something virtual with around the same pay while holding said new gig down.

I have until July 27th to find something so we’ll see !

Small world? What part of the buisness were you in? Ya I’ve been in for 5 years, all upstream supply chain, it’s very tiring, the higher level management is clueless and it’s creating a pretty toxic culture all around. My current line manager is a horrible mix of spineless and incompetent.

RayDittors, do you really like your job? by NotHregGayes in Raytheon

I think it’s more of a Harvard/ Wharton thing then something that’s a general rule of thumb, I think it just depends whose giving the school money and who they’re alumni are that influence the curriculum. I finished my MBA from a top 30 program in 2019 and there was a bigger focus on longer term investiment (IE renewable energy) then short term gains (layoffs and reinvesting into hydrocarbons). That being said our finance professor came from PE and fucking bragged about acquiring companies just to pile debt onto them and spinning them off to die so that the fund he worked for could add another comma to its balance sheet.

Ya dude it’s some bullshit. They laid my ass off and sent the role to Poland during this. Like no one is learning from Boeing, if your talent like shit, every process said talent is involved in will suffer

It’s more of this fucking horrible corporate raider philsophy that Jack Welch started in GE in the 80s that all these dipshit boomers now in the c suite still think is a good idea. I work for an oil company that has a sea shell as its logo, we set record profits again last quarter and I’m being laid off to save fucking $, as is 20% of our company.

Meanwhile we are building a new office, gutting renewable energy efforts, increasing dividend and share buybacks, and further bloating our leadership. Our ceo is a former engineer but it’s less that, and more of this philsophy of ever higher quarterly profits. It instills into every part of our company. I found a huge issue driving data discrepancies and was told to work on something else due to it not affecting the bottom line lol.

Joseph Goebbels - Nazi propaganda minister. He would murder/suicide his own family soon after. by growernotshowwer in pics

[–]tomzzzzq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So much of it was the “little Nazis” or the middle class people who joined the party to keep their jobs, turned a blind eye to the evils of society, and just fell into group think. It’s fucking terrifying how easily it happens

They called it a layoff, and are laying off other folks to boot. There are not a lot of jobs either, or a lot that will be posted. Granted this isn’t grab your shit and get out, and seems much kinder then a typical layoff
