Insight
You know what is interesting? Insight. Being home you get to listen into your partners meetings, the culture of their company beyond what you've been told. For me, it's pure validation that the culture is very poor here.
First order of business for Todd
Take the pledge not to lay anyone off during this national crisis. The government is bending over backwards to support businesses so that people don’t loose their jobs. Do the right thing and protect jobs.
Retirement age raised. Thanks Todd!
Looks like a few more years of working in the coal mine before we can retire. What’s the next way to screw employees?
