Motorola Sucks!

[hawkbit 0]

After talking to HR today and trying to fight the fact that my management is blocking me from taking another job within the company I swear I am ready to pull silver on this place.
HR says that even though they don't think what my managers are doing is good business practice, they are not willing to pursue it. According to them, the economy is dictating the behaviors of the managers. Sounds to me like the ethics of the company shifts with the economy... Good economy = high ethics... Bad economy = do whatever you want.
I wouldn't rant like this, but Motorola really puts themselves out as a highly ethical company.
Its amazing the crap we have to put up with to get a paycheck!

True for all corporations, but it's more like:

Good Economy: treat employees like gold. Rape company behind the scenes.

Bad Economy: treat employees like crap. Try to hide all the illegal shit you did when the economy was good.

Corporations are throwbacks to midevil feudalism. Quit your job and work for yourself.

Current situation here:
CEO says to save save save...

Then, CEO orders himself one of the new camera phones, which no one else is allowed to have. He then demands that the telecomm folks supply him with additional batteries and chargers. Acceptable for the extra hardware? yes, one charger for home and one for the office, maybe a spare battery right?
Wrong.
One for home, One for office, One for each of his three cars, One for his NY office. Also, two spare batteries per location. So the rundown:
3 desk chargers
3 car chargers
7 batteries

How's that for saving money? btw, IT budget for next year is being cut another 5$ million from 55$ and 72 jobs (out of 372) are being eliminated. Just to prepare, I've started moving all my personal documentation that others don't know how to do offsite - have to horde the knowlege...

Don't feel too bad.....I don't get payed a lot but that was OK for awhile cause I didn't have to work much either. Well...now they have multiplied the amount of work I have to do each day by about 4 maybe even 6 times. Now when I post it actually IS affecting my volume of work. Now I get the news today that they company is laying off ANOTHER 3000 people in January. Nice.......I should stay here why?
