The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hey K..... Thanks for checking in on me man It’s bad…. We lost all our probationary employees a few weeks ago
I lost 1 out of 2 trainees Monday is the return to office for everyone.
And we are anticipating bad news

Not sure how they will do the RIF. If they follow the normal RIF procedures, I’m probably safe. If they just randomly cut departments and groups, it’s a different story. Management knows nothing.

There’s also talk of basically consolidating all the offices
The offices projected to close include San Marcos, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, & Glendale (my POD). They might just force us to work from the federal building. But I don’t even know who will survive or what work environment we will be in

Every Monday we have to email Elon our 5 accomplishments from the previous week

Me: So it's doom and gloom there at this point. I would think much of the government is similar. We're screwed, it will take years to recover. I'm reading they want to cut 50% of the staff.
