Open enrollment for two months, incentives only on Asurion-based features. Centers closing. Unprecedented self-serve push. $7 fee to pay bill.

So much for promotions

I'm so angry right now I don't know what to do with myself. I was laid off last week less than six months after I was promoted. My manager made such a big deal out of this promotion, just to turn around and stab me in the back only a few months down... — read more
