If you have a chance to get away from Big Red, do it. If you can live without the severance pay, don't sign the agreement. That way you can speak your mind without looking behind your back everyday. Having gone through the last layoff was the best thing for me. There is a secret society of managers and leadership that are terrible towards the employees. Some of them managers are on short term assignments and don't care who they hurt. They are taught to be terrible and will stab you in the back on a Tuesday and smiling at you on Monday. They are not your friend. Doesn't matter what are you work in, all the managers are conditioned the same. One single HR person runs the whole thing and she is no better. She doesn't care about either and will lie to your face. I could say more but remember this run away if you can.

Gore company isn't any better probably worse
@10w That's funny, I think you have to have mental problems to accept a job here. The false hope that you mean something here is awesome.
I work on the other side of JRC and heard that contracts have been lost. I also heard that people are being flexed. This is just the beginning.
I agree with above, Big Red is a horrible place to work. The lie to your face and smile at the same time. A I also agree that no one should sign the agreement when they are laid off. They won't be able to stop you from spreading truth.
This place is a joke, needs to shutdown. Gives many a mental health crisis unspoken about. It’s not worth it. They don’t care if you die. Many people have had heart attacks while working for Hal because of how the company treated them.

and yeah i left, promotion is literally nigh impossible if you're actually good at your job. that's the dirty secret. nevermind the secret cliques. i would at least respect it if they were competent but some are just utterly re--rded chimps with access to SAP
