I had a manager namecheck the layoffs as a reason they don't need to move on addressing any of our team's concerns about working conditions. Same manager invoked the Nuremburg Defense the other day. Trying times.

What does "namecheck" mean in this context?

Guessing it means they named the companies out loud, presumably to scare employees
Thanks, the original comment makes sense when I use that definition.
Someone should invoke the Unionization defense.

What are some of your team's concerns about working conditions? Are you guys being treated badly?

* Non-competitive pay

* No sick leave & limited vacation

* Inconsistent and insufficient planning paired with unrealistic expecations

I bet this won’t get answered.
