      Layoffs will be a regular occurrence. Think you’re safe because you have a lot of seniority? My wife was laid off by Chase just a couple weeks before her 20 year anniversary. Funnily enough, they had just switched everyone to thin clients a year or two before.

        It was a sign they were trying to cut long term costs over user convenience long term when they switched to thing clients. Budget cuts are never a good sign in business that are “supposed” to be growing

        Lol I got a layoff notice last Thursday at another financial institute. Our whole environment is Lenovo. I noticed at the end of last year that 2025s upcoming EOL refresh was going to be all thin laptop conversions.

        But don’t worry guys, I can apply for 10 dollars less an hour to the new contractor they are bring on to delay the inevitable.

      Your boss is constantly micromanaging you, but you can’t get anything done because thin clients suck.
