I'm extremely torn right now. I was just offered a job outside of VZW doing similar work starting at $5,000 less per year. The pay cut isn't too extreme and the benefits package is similar. The pros for accepting this offer are job security (no... —  read more

It's almost that time of year again! Have heard lots of rumors call centers closing, stores etc... Any truth to the rumors? Which centers are closing?

Huh, I wonder whose pocket that will come out of. We need a union.

An idea of "Smart Cities" works when an economy is booming. The problem is that the economy isn't booming, contrary to popular belief. Take a look at the real estate market. When you see interest rates are lowered, but you also have a major decline... —  read more
