So Bacon and I work for the same company now.. you may have heard of it? Dell Technologies?
Actually I think I work for Dell Technologies and he works for Dell. My company EMC, recently merged with Dell to form Dell Technologies. So we kind of operate on our own at the moment, we have a portfolio of products that Dell wants.
If you're not familiar with EMC, we make the products that Bruce Wayne hacks into.
Or the the product that Tony Stark uses to make Ulton.
Anyway, we had our "Day 1 celebration" yesterday and it was three hours of gibbering, over excited, employees with not enough work to do, using adjectives like:
“Go Big Win Big” = 35
“Big” 16
“Awesome” = 10
Insane = 1
Fantastic =1
Incredible = 4
Ton = 2
Phenomenal = 3
Tremendous = 2
Historic = 7
I stopped counting after the first hour but you get the idea.
Bacon and I are on the same internal chat messenger and were just talking about how lame the marketing was yesterday. I really wish I could upload the video from yesterday and have MC commentary on it. They hired a bunch of skydivers to jump out of a plane holding a banner that says "Dell Technologies". Just cringe worthy stuff.
I've never seen such an expensive spectacle... 7 days after announcing 3000 layoffs no less.
Today we have our "company outting"- that's two days in a row where REAL work gets interrupted by things no one wants to go to in the first place.
If I sound annoyed, I am. I have to GTD.
