When the next round of layoffs happen, the guy in charge of HR will stare coldly into your eyes while an outside consultant reads a prepared statement explaining your severance package benefits. No compassion and no remorse. He wants to see how much... — read more 

Reading these posts it's obvious that so many of you despise your jobs. If that's the case, why don't you quit? Nobody is forcing you to be here. I like my job. I like having a job when the economy is far from ideal. But if I didn't, nothing could... — read more

I always knew that HR was never there because of the employees, but I hoped that maybe in some cases they could be a place of support and help for us. What a mistake. They simply do not take our interests into account at all. I had a little problem... — read more

Shouldn’t be a surprise but rumor is Whiting hired outside help for layoffs again.

Holly should be giving a thank you speech to everyone for making him a lot of money. He can sit there and say “ ohh well I tried “ thanks as he sits there with that sh– eating grin. Now everyone can sit back and wait for all the changes, good luck... — read more
