Then randomly they wanted to bring everyone back to the office. So they sent out a questionnaire trying to see if there would be people that would be willing to come back to the office. My wife answered no because she is at risk (This was before the vaccine) next thing you know my wife gets laid off during holidays. Synovus is the worst.

    My former CEO insisted that we "trust the science." Every week (he bought our old company) he would get up there and spout his rhetoric at us. He would shame people for having questions, having concerns. He would shame people for not wearing masks, or getting vaccinated, or not vaccinated enough, or not liking the weekly tests (or thinking they were stupid and not accurate given that at the end they were take-home tests).
    And yet all the stuff he spouted was incorrect. All of it. The mask efficacy, the vaccine efficacy, the danger of the disease, who it affects, how it affects them. We worked in an environment (a shop) where all of us were at least 8 feet apart all day long. Often more than that. We all wore respirators as a general rule anyway (carbon fiber dust was in the air), and we all socially isolated during breaks. But none of it was enough for this yahoo. We all had to do as he said, not as the science dictated.
    As I've said before, it's about ego and control. Nothing else.

I am not at the supermarket for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week. For everyone to have this exposer (grocery, laundry, etc.) and be forced to sit in a closed office for 8+ hours/day is definitely going increase the chances of spreading the virus if someone did get it….

You are not going to go to the grocery store every day. So your point of contact is limited to that instance. If you go to the office, you are continually forcing a point of contact every day - which increases your chances of getting the virus. Meaning that if you did end up contracting the virus, you are exposing more people to the virus due to the additional point of contact. This includes forcing people to return to office locations when it’s not necessary. Again, the concern is valid.

    If there's no need to be in an office, and you've been remote the past year and a half, then quit any job requiring you be in the office. We've seen that remote work works. So many people prefer that. Find a remote job. Many places are these days. Your other options are to organize your co workers together and refuse to work in the office. The executives cannot afford to cut everyone off. If you're really dedicated, organize so that if the boss fires any worker for working from home, you all quit. The other option is to start your own business. Find something you enjoy and build a business that fits with your schedule. Those don't all guarantee results, and building a business doesn't mean necessarily fewer hours. People have been rethinking the way they work. I think if some executives think they're special because they run a company, and you guys hate it there. Leave for something that is more fulfilling. Tons of people are doing it these days (called the Great Resignation). People are tired of these executives. These are people that all enjoy working and work hard without wanting to be babysat and follow stupid rules that so many managers don't actually understand

      Idk they think that adults are little goo goo ga ga babies. Nevermind the fact that a lot of people don't eat ice cream. Lactose intolerant, vegan, etc.

    Joshua. God bless you man. Started watching your videos back in a days, when you explained how to get a programmers job. Now you expose those dumb CEOs and your content just grows in quality and amount of information. Always admired you for your down to the ground logical thinking and comedy. I hope your channel will grow constantly. Good luck man, you are doing a right thing 💪💪💪

    My ex-employer made us all sign a vaccine status paper. Then there was a policy put forth that said something like this, "People with vaccines and who get covid will be able to take sick leave and vacation. People without the vaccination cannot take vacation or sick leave." It was pretty messed up.

      Exactly. Boomers will go, "You youngins have to pull yourself by your bootstraps. That's why you have to listen to me, work for pitiful wages, let me micromanage you, while you risk your health, so that you can increase my profits while I'll reward you with ice cream. It's all your fault I don't have unlimited profits". Give me a break.

      There's one thing I've learned working in the corporate world, the laziest people are usually the ones who are best at convincing others that they are the lazy ones, because that's how they survive in these companies. The hardest working people usually don't accuse others of being lazy because they care more about their own work, not with what others are doing.

    I worked at a tech company that would fire employees if they exceeded their PTO for being sick. You were not allowed to have any type of unpaid day off. They only gave 5 PTO days per year! And they wondered why they had a high turnover.

    I suppose health insurance premiums could be part of the motivation, but honestly I think this guy wants to use 70% as a benchmark to force everyone to come back to the office. This way he can’t be sued if there’s a Covid outbreak because he’ll just say they were following CDC guidelines of some form or another

    And of course, while having "people come first" as a "core value", that CEO gives preferential treatment to senior management... Nice going, Ryan... "Be kind" only means be kind to upper management, never the other way around, eh, Ryan?

    Had to watch a training video about corporate expensing various things. The video shows an example of 2 people going to a restaurant after a "very successful business meeting with clients". The two employees discuss which restaurant to choose from a list, employee A suggests the 4 star restaurant $$$$, employee B suggests the 3 star restaurant $$$ and even says because it's a more reasonable price. The video then quizzes me and asks which of them made the right choice. I choose B because obviously the company is cheap.
    I was wrong.
    It was a trick question, instead, a third location on the restaurant list, a little snack shack with 2 stars and only 1 $ symbol was the "right" choice. So basically, after closing this multimillion dollar deal, go get yourself a gas station burrito and a 99 cent iced tea. Because fuck you that's why.
    It shocks me that anyone could be fool enough to feel a sense of loyalty to organizations like this.

    So the employees should have a teams meeting and include the CEO, with everyone enjoying their fave ice cream within the comforts of their own home...while working!!! I love it! But seriously, him inquiring about why some have CHOSEN not to getthe vaccine is none of his business and is totally out of line.

    This is 100% about control and poor leadership, as someone who has held the role of a COO you must trust your employees. The workplace has forever changed, as a leader you either adapt or risk losing your talent.
