At an all-hands meeting last week, Google executives responded to employee questions about declining morale even with financial performance improving.
Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU!”
Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”
Company: “Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”
“Due to current market conditions . . .” is the line my group has been given. There never seems to be market conditions where the workers get to win.
Market conditions for me but not for thee…
“here’s a layoff”
Best we can do is a pizza party
We don’t even get those any more.
Best we can do is mass layoffs and a strictly enforced return-to-office policy
I wish you were joking.
