Here’s to 1900 more!
is op being serious? either way idt it will make much difference. whole lota freak out over nothing.
Our office rules is 8 to 5, you let the operations manager that you have a client to meet up with in an email and cc it to others who need to know
He doesn’t do that, we had the head operations manager come down from Tallahassee and chew him for abusing leaving early
Sounds like a stupid place to work. “office rules”. Get a job where they treat you like an adult.
Layoffs after acquisitions are exceptionally common. Microsoft doesn’t need a ton of departments in Blizzard Activision.
That makes sense then.
However, if your point was to show how WFH is bad, but then give an example of how lazy people will still be lazy going to an office, it didn’t really pan out.
Of course it is to you cause you have that wfh mentality
LOL, there’s a lot of assuming going on there in so few words.
Where I work, we can come in roughly when we want and leave when we want so long as work is done and we work our salaried 40 hours, or however many it takes to get the work done.
When I do work from home I work longer and more than in the office because there is no one to chit chat with and nowhere to walk or go.
You can think what you want, but maybe you just hate your home. Get a new home. A happier home. Go to your happy place and be a happy little baby. You can dream. I believe in you.
Ok then I’ll use myself then:
Work is slow today I had my employees go home early after lunch, I am here doing calibrations on our equipment for lab testing and field testing, I would rather do it myself cause I’m the lab manager
I have to keep these up to date as it’s part of an audit we get checked in house. Every Monday we have a operations meeting with other offices locally and said what we have done for the previous week.
We always have to report what was done including what us managers did. That’s how they know no one is BSing at the office
It’s probably worth mentioning, for those engaging him, that Zumakind is a well-known troll.
Even if he actually believes this nonsense there’s always an element of everything he says that is just here to deliberately annoy people for attention.
Just an fyi.
Take my money!! Oh wait , I think I got that already.
Also note – they canceled one of the unreleased survival game as well, so some could be from that as well.
I’m surprised, but at the same time not surprised. I honestly don’t think the industry needs another survival game and I think Microsoft knows that.
But the whole thing kinda hit hard all at once. All those employees, Allen Adham and Mike Ybarra…
Lot of changes.
I mean, that’s how you handle WFH people too.
Middle managers that think WFH = no one works and being lazy is because they are bad at their job.
I can assure you, anyone “taking advantage” of WFH and being lazy aren’t working very hard in the office either.
It certainly sends a message to those still on board. If things will improve, stay the same, or get worse, only time can tell. Glad to see them doing something at least. Also not terribly surprised, big tech been making cuts for a couple years now. There’s a statement they use to use for blue collar workers, something something learning something something code.
Shame the survival game got cancelled, but WC Rumble is fun at least, but maybe the upcoming projects the workers got switched to will make it worth the sacrifice.
Noice. What a wonderful day.
Yeah, I was actually looking forward to the survival game. Most are made by small studios so I was interested to see what a AAA studio would do with the concept…I guess now we’ll have to wait until someone else makes one.
Speak for yourself o.o… I may stay in my jammies all day, play video games all day etc, but my metrics are excellent, top performing agent with a great schedule 7 to 3:30. My job just has low volume, 12 to 14 calls per day - that’s not my fault. I was placed on a dedicated team.
Might I add my house is always spotless, and my husband gets wonderful home cooked meals every single day.
I feel a raise is in order.
I was unsure about the whole acquisition from the get go it’s kind of one of those, you think you do but you don’t feelings. I feel for for the employee’s losing there jobs damn shame. Makes me wonder what is microsoft’s real game with this whole thing maybe it wasn’t as good as what some folks made it out to be.
