What's up with the recent updates to supervisor/manager titles? Supervisors are now managers, managers are now directors, all while maintaining the same pay grade? Check titles on Workday for proof as they are not reflected yet on Outlook/Teams.

With the big red M being obsessed with “increasing shareholder value “ this seems like an obvious move. It’s the easiest way to cut costs. It’s been nearly five years since the Covid purge.

So what are the details on Detroit's contract? All I see is "significant wage increase" blah blah. What are the real numbers?

It’s almost the holidays so let’s have some fun. What’s the WORST department at MPC? I’ll go first….. COMMERCIAL
