I sured up and pounded off so hard I sprayed all over my IBM issued device, my room and my in house bar back who I asked to go bareback! I needed a big boy release after getting big boy released.

| schestowitz[TR2] | is extendo so I’m getting a full year which is nice because I can wait until the latter half of 26 to even care to look after all of the craziness. I’ll be able to drop five and get live. Live with my pants around my ankles for a bit not that I wasn’t on calls while at Big Blu anyway. Absolutely spraying all over the place while the director is trying to present. Gonna miss these days. Enjoy 2026! | Nov 05 02:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, true, huge layoff. Sales enablement losing > 100. Seems like mostly US and Canada. So far everyone I know has had > 15 years; lots of 25+ years. Entire teams plus 1st line managers. I haven't heard of any 2nd line yet, but who is left for them to manage? | Nov 05 02:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Thomas, thank you. My team and unit shifted from barebones to barebutt. I whacked off and in. I was cut, have a healthy twelve month severance. Me and my manager were both laughing so hard when he told me it was an amazing experience. I put my pants around my ankles and absolutely sprayed all over my ibm issued device. We laughed again and couldn’t stop. I’m absolutely enjoying the RA. Thanks for checking on this Thomas. | Nov 05 02:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Follow the incentives. Do you know how many people travel from the USA to India and other places to “oversee” the teams and run meetings? | Nov 05 02:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As long as we incentivize free vacations we will not solve this problem. | Nov 05 02:33 |
