Tower is an absolute garbage location. Expensive as he-l to park, roving bands of thugs on the streets, traffic, it's horrible, which is why occupancy rates su-k there.
@kj what’s wrong with The Tower? It’s all good downtown. Watch that Vista Ridge tunnel, hit the brakes just like everyone does. Nah dude we good
Unfortunately I think some people won’t be let go and instead have to work in downtown. I mean it’s a job if they want it but a huge pay-cut, pay for parking or transit.
No proof or insider info, but I have a feeling a presence will remain in the tower, for now. Highly likely that they will "consolidate" there though, reducing our lease footprint and putting everyone, or close to everyone, on one floor perhaps. Time will tell. Eventually just about all the domestic employees will 'go'. A matter of time.
The barn is dusty and those of us left are hoping sooner than later we are kicked off the broken wagon. They have the date set and customer service week, holidays really are not a factor in the corporate world. Displacement department will make it happen sometime soon. Yay to Q4 layoffs.
BK=Bankruptcy
@ag BK?
I heard BK department will be turning in their badges and WFH. Other department teams will be let go end of Sept and the remaining teams let go in October. Everyone should be out of Barnhart in Hillsboro OR end of October. It's possible some teams may WFH until they are replaced?? All just rumors I've heard.
@a6 Gonna make it to October, that’s great! Hearing The Tower is gone on 9/30
D Day coming up soon in October! Right after "Customer Service Appreciation Week".
