How long should she be in mourning before she can be excited for her daughter? I know knuckleheads like you like to posture and tell everyone how they should feel and act during times like these, so I’d love your feedback on when a mom can be happy that her daughter got a job.

If there are any other subjects that we can’t discuss, please go ahead and get them out there. We’d hate to upset your solemn demeanor by talking about things that matter to us without running it past you first, dick face.

Thanks for your contribution to this post Blondine, or other random member of ET.
Read. The. Freaking. Room.

Classic illustration of how oblivious the ET is, which is terrifying for those that are retained.

Well, I’m not Blandine and I’m not on the ET. Just a guy who feels like a mom can be proud of her kid whenever she feels like it. I guess you’re a bit too self centered to understand that. I mean, if you’re not happy, no one gets to be.

In yet another classic display of total disconnection from the field...
Why in the hell would you tell hundreds of people about to lose their job that you are so proud that your daughter will now be working for NNI?
(with a significant amount of job security insulated by nepotism)

envious, loser

well, you are an idiot and so is Blondine. Nobody says she shouldn’t be proud of her daughter....it’s just fucking stupid to bring it up during a call discussing layoffs.
 












Shouldn’t many of you be updating your resumes instead of coveting someone else’s daughters job? In a different hemisphere no less? Put on your big girl and big boy pants!
 




What is wrong with you people? Her daughter getting a job in Australia has no impact on your job here. Any parent would be proud of their child starting a new career. Show some class.

Stop the name-calling good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh good god, why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again

Once, again, I’m not Kathy either. How many strikes is that now?

Regardless, was “snowflake” a little too harsh for you? I believe it - a mom being proud of her daughter’s new job in Australia has you all in a tizzy. Repeat after me: “It’s ok when good things happen to other people. The world doesn’t revolve around me.” Say that a few hundred times per day, and your little feelings will start to be all better.
 




To clarify...the answer to this lady's self-centered announcement about her to daughter is for us to be more self-reflective about our attitudes about how it is OK for a member of upper management to be self-centered?

She congratulated someone else. How exactly is that self centered? But, I understand that you don’t get it. Too many years of self absorption make it difficult to understand what it means to be happy for someone else. You can’t get away from how YOU feel. If you’re not happy, no one gets to be. You’ll decide when others can be happy. I understand. Let us know when you get over yourself and we get to resume our lives.
 




Man, I do hope this is not Kathy. Surely no one in upper management is this dumb.

She didn’t congratulate “another person”...what the hell are you talking about?!? She told us all that her daughter just got a job with Novo ....ON THE SAME CALL that Doug just mentioned 400 people were going to lose theirs.

You don’t get how that is inappropriate?

Every other person on this thread understands how inappropriate, and disconnected from the overall situation that comment was. It was absurd. And every single person on this thread knows it and has posted their agreement - except you.

YOU are wrong. Blondine was wrong.

What goes on in your head that you do not get this?
 




She congratulated her daughter. She did not congratulate "someone else". If she said, "hey Joe is Spokane...congratulations on XYZ" - that would be congratulating someone else.

I agree with you on one thing - it is clear that someone does NOT get it.

If you look through the entirety of this thread....you will see that everyone except you does get it. Without exception, everyone understands how completely off-base that comment was. How completely ill-advised, how completely out of place, how completely self-centered, and how completely wrong it was.

Blondine, I am sure, did not mean for it to sound like management does not give a damn about the 400-450 people being laid off. But that is the impression that comment gives. It means you do not grasp the severity of the situation for the 400-450 that will be affected.

Everyone else on this thread understands that. Everyone except one person. Often times, if you are the only one with an opinion on a topic and virtually no one else agrees with you...it is a good time to stop and consider that you might be mistaken.

And the answer to this one is not very difficult - you are seriously mistaken.

I do hope you are not Kathy. I do hope you are not an ET member. And I do hope you are not in management on any level. There is no doubt that organizations take on the personality and traits of their leaders...it cannot be helped or avoided....leadership, good or bad, trickles down. NNI is in a serious time of transition...from Doug's comments it certainly sounds like alot is set to change between now and the end of the year and then again in 2021. In the midst of all of this change, NNI is going to need guidance and need leadership....and I certainly am hoping that we have better leaders than people who would think it is complete appropriate to start talking about your daughter getting a job on the same phone call that 450 people are being told they won't be here in the future.
