Why is it that we're always expected to do more but it's never reflected in our pay? I'm getting tired of it. If there was any recognitions, even a small bonus, it would be easier to accept it. Instead, we're recognized with even more work. I am done... —  read more 

Any layoffs coming up, as many people leaving at the top level, any layoffs with reorgs coming up.
