Okay hear me out... What if we did a state of the workplace speech? Like, the manager of the dept has to stand up and tell everyone in the most awkward way how things are going. Would whoever gave that speech get cheered, heckled, or booed? 😂 They could drone on in detail about how we've never been better at maximizing shareholder value. What would you say if you had to give a "State of the Workplace" speech?

In a sense that already happens, in the form of quarterly earnings. And like the State of the Union, those are turned into showpieces, conference calls featuring people who are trained to spin the financial numbers. If we gave one at the local level, in our own offices, I assume they would be considerably more honest, with less spin and polish.

Fair point. We always want to come off as more impressive than we actually are, and companies with millions of dollars and lots of PR reps can do that.

Heckled, booed, maybe some tomatoes chucked their way. Morale is not good. I'd tell everyone we're rats on a sinking ship and to get out as soon as possible.

Back before Covid, I represented the parents in a will contest case against the wife of the deceased. It was a sham marriage but you know how people like to fight over minute stuff. The deceased had been cremated and the parties were fighting over who was entitled to the ashes. I had the box of ashes in my office. It was getting ridiculous. I found a big urn with mini urns and ordered it. Scooped them out a couple spoons and nipped it in the bud. I still have leftover ashes for refills.

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me. He also exhibits stalker like behavior by looking up my family online (addresses, emails, phone numbers, FB/Twitter accounts, you name it) and driving by my house and commenting on things I was doing during the weekend or after work. I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..
