Had a conversation with leadership at work and they unironically think turning our cameras on in teams will solve all our issues
Their idea was to mandate all cameras being on for every meeting because the lack of cameras is definitely why we all hate working here.
It's like I was talking to an alien, I explain the long work hours, the constant cutting of staff, ever increasing micromanagement and forced to be in a shitty office WHERE WE CAN'T EVEN GET A DESK COS ITS TOO BUSY. Constant layoffs constant breathing down our necks and never ending barrage of meetings where concerns raised for not being able to do any work during the FUCKING WORK DAY is just addressed with a shrug and inference that we should do work out of hours to make time for literal pointless self felating meetings filling up every day.
I explain how the last year was constant never ending crunch while we lose half our team to outsourcing and have to take on 10x more responsibility when we were already understaffed doing the original job. I explain how all planned upcoming work is continued crunch. How we have single people holding up massive systems solo while somehow half of the team is going off to seminars and doing literally fuck all and THEY GET PROMOTED INTO MANAGEMENT. I explain how the size of the team doing any actual real work is 10% the size of the leadership fucking swarm we have of useless idiots who pack every day with meetings just to feel useful. I explain how the answer to every single problem or blocker we face is just "work harder and longer" while they insult everyone in meetings by crying how no one gives feedback and they're "here to help"
The answer? Oh we should be turning our cameras on and put even more meetings in for forced fun sessions...........
Fucking managers
You're viewing a single thread.
What do you have instead of desks? You mean turning the camera on in the office where they can already see you? How many people wear a mask there?
We have dedicated desks but if you cant get one you basically get the floor, some random chair, stupid bar type stool thing, standing with laptop on a cabinet, meeting room if you're lucky, or my personal favourite the windowsill
So they can't see us because we don't have any single dedicated area for the team so the idea is we come in but talk remotely on calls because 70% of the team resides in a different country and whats left is scattered across several different offices and floors.
No, the person I am referring to in this post came in sick and then shook everyones hand without mentioning they are sick. Nobody wears a mask and everyone comes in when they are sick to spread it
So the only reason to be there is to get sick
Yes. Save me lol
