Today I’m in the office because there’s a company wide meeting later and I have to make sure that the Q&A app account is setup properly.

Yesterday the workplace experience guy from the west coast office had me schedule a call for today about “tech in the office from a workplace experience perspective.”

I’m on the east coast and have been working with his NYC equivalent since I started. There’s 6 people in the office today (including me). Unless we’re shutting it down, who cares about the office???

Would I Be Crazy To Throw 5K Into NVIDIA Right Now?

I’ve always been mad at myself for having bought generations of Nvidia GPUs over the years, but having missed out on their stock. I’m probably going in for 1 or 2k

What do you want to know? I’ve only been at this place for 6 months. Earlier in the month, there were rumors of layoffs coming.

Last week HR gave me and the rest of the IT team access to the list of people who were going to be laid off and the times when their HR meetings would take place, 15-minute intervals.

When it was time to start, we hopped into a Google Meet and went down the list shutting down accounts together. Some stuff is automated through Okta, but there’s custom tools and things we had to shut down manually.

There were a few layoffs in November when they made changes among the c-level execs.

At this point, I’m just trying to upskill and get a better job. I was unemployed for 6 months before I got this one and it pays 30% less than my last role.

My company did something similar a couple years back- iirc put impromptu group meeting on peoples calendar and let them know it was their last day. Gave em an hour before they locked them out.

It didn’t help that they put out a company wide Slack message about “cost reduction” and “impacted roles” as they were adding late in the day meetings to people’s calendars.
