"Something must be done, this is something..."?


Not saying I agree with it, just that it’s not the idle threat OP was making it out to be… if the bean counters who are saying “something must be done” are actually in charge, maybe it doesn’t matter whether it’s really about performance…


I am not saying the threat is idle. I am saying the action is unwarranted, the performative play is real for all levels. Sundar is larping as a leader. He is at best a substitute teacher.


If a company is trying to make me dance like a monkey, I would rather get laid off. Either they appreciate productivity, or I will be happy to be out of there.
