Windfall Tax for LCS
What do you think the chances are that once the treasury starts sending big checks of taxpayer money to ExxonMobil for carbon capture the politicians won’t decide a windfall profit tax is needed to clawback the money? See what is going on in Germany... — read more

EM does not care that the best are leaving
This is my impression, that the company has never cared less about the departure of institutional knowledge that will be almost impossible to replace with equally high-quality employees. Did they even try to stop someone from leaving?
Salary merit raise
What % of PA category, CL, YEE goes into merit raise calculation ?

The employees that are in India etc and stealing American jobs think they are bad A's now but just wait, this can flip on them in a heartbeat and they will be the ones being dumped! Look at all of the TECH layoffs currently and how many of those are... — read more
Rotation
anyone knows how a person could rotate multiple roles super fast (

People are fleeing to Spring
What our leadership refuses to understand:
Every person they have to hire will be less skilled, less trained, and more expensive. It would be better to just compensate competitively. *And I am not saying experienced hires are less skilled. But 6mo-1yr to find a candidate and then the... — read more
