#2 — Drew — Is Skyler serious rn I'm so anxious
Drew
Drew 9
30 AM
Has everyone seen the calendar invite for the all-hands meeting next Friday?
Riley 9
32 AM
Yes, I just received it. I noticed there wasn’t an agenda attached, which is a bit unusual.
River 9
33 AM
It does feel a bit mysterious.
Skylar 9
34 AM
It could be positive news! Perhaps we’ll finally hear about the raises mentioned in Q3.
Cameron 9
35 AM
Skylar, ever the optimist!
Casey 9
37 AM
I heard from someone in Finance that there have been budget reviews all week.
Jamie 9
38 AM
Budget reviews right before year-end could mean a number of things.
Avery 9
40 AM
Hi team! Just catching up on this thread. My manager mentioned there would be “significant updates” soon.
Drew 9
41 AM
“Significant updates” could go either way.
Riley 9
43 AM
Did anyone notice the meeting location changed from the usual conference room to the main auditorium?
River 9
44 AM
Really? We rarely use the auditorium.
Skylar 9
45 AM
Only for major announcements—like when they discussed the merger last year.
Cameron 9
46 AM
Let’s hope it’s not another merger announcement.
Casey 9
48 AM
Or it could be about expansion—remember when they announced the new product line and all the new hires?
Jamie 9
49 AM
Good point, Casey. Client retention has been strong this quarter.
Avery 9
51 AM
Trying not to overthink it, but I’m definitely anxious.
Drew 9
52 AM
Same here, Avery. I keep checking my email for more details.
Riley 9
54 AM
Has anyone spoken to some of the longer-tenured employees? They usually have good insights.
River 9
55 AM
I asked Janet from HR, but she just said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Skylar 9
57 AM
Janet is great at keeping things under wraps—remember Mike’s surprise retirement party?
Cameron 9
58 AM
What time is the meeting? I want to avoid any scheduling conflicts.
Casey 10
00 AM
It’s at 2 PM next Friday, blocked for two hours.
Jamie 10
01 AM
Two hours? That’s longer than usual.
Avery 10
03 AM
Maybe they’ve included time for Q&A. Those sessions can run long.
Drew 10
04 AM
Or perhaps there are multiple announcements—restructuring, new products, and budget updates?
Riley 10
06 AM
That’s likely. Year-end is when they tend to share major updates.
River 10
07 AM
Did anyone notice the invite came directly from the CEO’s calendar, not his assistant’s?
Skylar 10
08 AM
Good observation, River. That’s definitely out of the ordinary.
Cameron 10
10 AM
Now I’m getting a bit nervous! I’ll try to stay positive until Friday.
Casey 10
11 AM
That’s a good approach, Cameron. No sense in worrying about things we can’t control.
Jamie 10
13 AM
Easier said than done! I’m updating my resume just in case.
Avery 10
14 AM
Let’s not jump to conclusions, Jamie!
Drew 10
15 AM
It’s always a good idea to keep your resume up to date.
Riley 10
17 AM
Agreed, but let’s not panic before we have more information.
River 10
18 AM
Maybe it’s about the new office space they’ve mentioned.
Skylar 10
20 AM
That would make sense—the lease is up next year, and they’ve been sending out workspace surveys.
Cameron 10
21 AM
I’d welcome a new office with more natural light!
Casey 10
23 AM
And perhaps a coffee shop on the ground floor instead of just vending machines.
Jamie 10
24 AM
A new office would be fantastic.
Avery 10
26 AM
See? There are plenty of positive possibilities. Maybe we should start a friendly wager.
Drew 10
27 AM
I’m in! My guess is a combination of an office move and budget changes.
Riley 10
29 AM
I think it’s related to the acquisition rumors—either we’re acquiring or being acquired.
River 10
30 AM
My prediction
new product launch and team expansion.
Skylar 10
32 AM
I’m sticking with raises and promotions!
Cameron 10
33 AM
My bet is on new office space—they’ve been hinting at it for months.
Casey 10
35 AM
I suspect it’s about changes to the remote work policy. They’ve been vague about next year’s plans.
Jamie 10
36 AM
Good point, Casey. They keep mentioning they’re “evaluating” the hybrid model.
Avery 10
38 AM
Let’s regroup here after the meeting to debrief.
Drew 10
39 AM
Deal! Winner of the wager gets drinks at the next happy hour.
Riley 10
41 AM
Sounds good! Now to make it through the week without overthinking.
River 10
42 AM
Same here. See you all in the auditorium!
Skylar 10
44 AM
Fingers crossed for good news, everyone!
