They hope to convince you to quit on your own so they can save money on severance. I wouldn't do them any favors by quitting. Make them pay you if they want you out that bad.

Management of D&D and Security dropped the ball. For rheemployee to have extra laptops in his position as well as her passwords was a huge security hole.
This company has some of the worst security and organization mismanagement that I have ever seen.
@irf+1plQGl6H What are talking about? First you say those 3 groups know what’s really going on and are jumping ship (which I don’t think is true). Then you go on to trash them and every other department in the company. Soon enough, none of this will be a problem for any of us, but most of the time, when you think everyone else is the problem, its likely you are the problem. Have fun in Houston.
Hacked in '13/'14. Ben kept us all in the loop and everyone had free credit protection and help for 1-2 years. I don't think, as it turned out, any of the employees were attacked.
That's back when we had a CEO that cared and a real HR department. Someone needs to get stock price stats together for Ben's reign compared to J's. Has it changed since J? Take out the focus bump and there's pretty much nothing. People matter.
@adh
Well stated. The CISO had fake credentials and appeared ignorant about basic security in our D&D calls. The manager was also a "correct demographic" appointee, who never could answer our questions.
Please start looking, with intention, while still employed and don’t get complacent/lazy like I did post-layoff. My “career-options dance card” was… not as full as expected lol. Take care, everyone.
Not yet. They are bleeding talent away though. Currently, the manager of D&D left and there is a job ad for a replacement. They lost about 7 people last week that jumped ship. They have more people that have already stated they are leaving. They will get paid better elsewhere and work on better projects anyway. Remember, D&D, IA, and ES see the "real inside" of the company, and when those people are leaving you know there are deep internal problems.
Security isn't too far behind with their departing. Several have placed their notice or taken severance. With DS leaving there will be some major changes. They really need it. They are under a CFO when they should be under a CIO. The CISO has no power, yet he is holding the bag with any breaches. Then again, he has no bawls to take the reigns so he needs to be replaced anyway. That whole business function needs to be reworked.
Hopefully, the replacement for DS will do a shake-up with that unit. To have auditors who are not real auditors and security people with no real security experience is a joke. You have accountants doing audit work and auditing security tasks. They are telling security how to secure the company and providing security scores? (Well, that is comforting.) You have Paralegals running the security operations center and not a real security person with real security experience. Then they are telling us how we need to secure the company when they have no security experience? (Even more comforting.)
I won't get into the disaster of accounting and legal with the procurements. That is just a joke. With how badly this company is run I am surprised it hasn't been breached (or reported publicly as they are supposed to do (for they have had internal breaches, hint: the issue that happened with the female employee blasted during a meeting)), been sold, or bankrupt. The shake-up is needed, but they are doing it wrong. They are getting rid of the people who actually do the real work and keeping the "good ole boys" that dr-g the company down.
Give me my severance and good riddance!
Did we outsource D&D?
@xwd+1plQGl6H I agree with the outsourcing. Sprint signed with Ericsson a few years back to handle the field work. Crown laid off the field guys in the mid west in 2004 for a three year experiment and SiteMaster picked up the contract. I can see the writing on the wall
They intend to outsource these jobs. The D&D jobs were the first step, only few seemed to notice.
Thanks Captain Obvious
Absolutely agree. Play their game to your benefit and for the love of god, do not relocate our families for a company that’ll cut us a month after we get to Houston. Purple Pumas be damned.
