Im going to stress that this is entirely hypothetical but I think that its possible that all of this insane behavior COULD be so they can make some sweeping changes and efficiency measures and just have people glad that what they do is so much better than what they said they were going to do.
There was a period at my work where they came through talking about 1 in 4 job losses and overtime bans... etc. 3 months later they overhauled the job, we work a little harder and the restructuring was wildly unnpopular, but the only jobs that were lost were some early retirements and existing vacancies. So yeah it sucked, but a whole lot less that their first threats.
Restructuring can be beneficial if done right. But it's really fucking difficult, especially with such sensitive service. I wouldn't trust most people with it, Musk probably being the last one of them.
Oh I dont think they are going to get it right. I think they might be deliberately making everyone 10/10 anxious so that when they pull out their real 5/10 plan there will be less pushback because its not the original 10/10 plan. (Higher numbers worse)
Go on boy, lick that boot. Get it nice and clean now. Good boy.
Oh fuck right off, does Lemmy actually want to have discussions about anything or should we just take turns screaming "Fuck Trump" and "Fuck Musk" like Daffy and Bugs doing Rabbit season/Duck season?
This week "The only way Canada can avoid these tarriffs is to become the 51st state" literally 48 hours later they are on hold for 30 days while they find an alternative and that happened this week. He talks massive and fucking nuts and then backs off to merely unreasonable and a bit crazy. He still gets to push his agenda in the direction he wants (which I do NOT think is anything good) and no small amount of people will just be glad he didnt go with the first option and the most gullible will be grateful.
By-and-large Lemmy has a babies understanding of debate. Everything is black or white, bad or good. No nuance, no subtly just 'you bad, me right'. Dare to be different from the hive mind? Break out the low effort insults.
Dude, you literally said you have to do more work for the same pay because someone who is paid way more than you fucked up, but it wasn't as bad as what that overpaid fuckup said it could've been, so yay. And this is why you're hoping the fascists in charge aren't going to step on your neck too hard.
Lick into the tread now, you like the dirt in there. Good little sub.
Bad sub, you call me Sir, Boss, or Daddy.
