MickMixon'sMetaphors

Yeah, if my employer basically said they were severing me and gave me a working couple months of notice, I’d likely be the same way. Just do the bare minimum of what’s asked. Not going out of my way. My thoughts are on MY future not my ex-employer. I can still be professional in this mindset.

That trade would have been ...indecent.

You know, I almost replied with a similar statement. Something to the extent of “you must be fun at parties” or “wow, anger issues much? Time for counseling.” But I hesitated because I don’t care quite enough to be confrontational on an Internet forum ( ex my post count even though I’ve read daily since 2019). Seeing your response and a couple others along the same lines makes me feel good though. Good stuff and thanks for saying it!

^ Couldn't agree more!

I get it. I'm at the same place right now. New COO started. He's clearly got a mandate from on high to cut costs. Multiple non-communicated mini-layoffs have happened. Managing Directors that were here for 15-20 years had to re-interview for their jobs with the COO so he could decide if they're worthy (Some said F that and left). Moral is super low and people are leaving without being replaced (do the same with less). I know what I'm capable of, but have lost the spark here. So...I have an interview lined up for Thursday that I'm really looking forward to. Even thinking about the possibility has given me a new spark. All that to say, I get it. BUT!!!! You don't say this publicly especially on social media! Glad he intrinsically discovered this and is self-aware, but still...

I would love to see matte black helmets. It would make the black/teal uniforms really pop.

Should say my firm IN uptown Charlotte...

My firm uptown Charlotte is closing shop. Working from home until further notice.

Let's hope!

I work for an investment manager uptown. My company has cancelled all travel and sends out communiques every few days. Sorry if someone already said it, but I think more than the death rate, it's about disruption. If 50% of my office calls in sick <multiplied by every other company in the area, US, the world>, then productivity grinds to a halt. Whether people are dying or not is not the issue. If all that productivity grinds to a halt, then we will enter into a major recession/depression. It's better to take true preemptive measures, even if overdone, to prevent that from happening.
