The corporate goons decided it would be a good idea to cut some more costs at my work.

They took away the sales guys gas cards, company phones and bonuses.

Some of them responded by walking out the door. Was wondering why there was computers missing when I walked in this morning.

One manager has not been seen for almost two weeks. Rumors running rampant of what the reason is... Covid or did they get fired?

I have worked at some screwed up companies before but I have never seen one circle the drain so quickly.


Meanwhile one of my friends got fired out of the blue from his company after working there for six years for 'time theft'.

This took place in a union environment with no prior history of discipline or documentation. Now the union is suing the company on his behalf.


Some real fucked up times. When the going gets tough you really start to see who people/corporations really are.



Sounds like it’s time to start looking for a new job

The stock market is one of the worst things to ever happen.

Nailed it. So brutal.

A high yield is garbage if it is not sustainable.

A company won't grow if they are paying out all of their earnings to shareholders.

Many investors don't think that way though. They see the high yield and buy in blindly without looking at the numbers. which fuels the problem.

Ya I have started.

At first I just worried I could be laid off.... Now things have gotten so bad I would not be surprised if the entire company just up and leaves Canada altogether.

the government gave up on us

we are way too far from a collective bargain

so they are gonna let us ''negociate'' altho not even a single little thing has been negociated for nearly 30 months


as soon as we start talking about something, our boss response is; we will not agree on this one, let's skip it and put it on hold

problem is there is like 100 things on hold and it just keep going up



that backtime check is gonna be fat
