We had a round of layoffs yesterday at VCCP NY. Most of the people let go were remote workers. To deliver the news to everyone in the office, they gathered us all around a TV and our chief strategy officer joined via google meet to tell us about the need for all employees to be in the office… from his house in Connecticut.

Seems like a great lesson in how to be ironic, iconic, idiotic, and incredibly tone deaf all at once.

I appreciate the alliteration…🤓

Such a great strategy from someone deserving of the CSO title.

reminds me of when our global head of sustainability dude flew into our office and gave the net zero preso while holding a Starbucks coffee cup. I was like "This is hysterical!" I looked around the room, no one seemed to notice. ::nervous laughter emoji:::

Of course not. “Never acknowledge hypocrisy” is PR 101.

He is a class A douche. I met him once. Some sort of pedant vape-smoking asshole who thinks he is the sh*t. He was just speaking platitudes for an hour

At least he was home, and not on his yacht, or vacationing overseas... or maybe he was, and just dropped in a background from his home......

Love how VCCP’ers are obviously here throwing shade while pretending they don’t work here—some of these ‘anonymous’ details are very specific… you just happen to know a lot about where folks live huh? 🤣🤣🤣

No shit I work there. And as someone who WORKS THERE it is funny that we are making fun of leadership via comments that attempt to sound as if we don’t.

You know me?

Can’t make this shit up.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
