EO Souring hit this morning in GROUP teams layoff! Job search begins....#1of6000 Onto bigger and better.

I always assumed my manager would set up an individual meeting to have a personal conversation about losing my job. Setting up a Teams meeting with 30 other people and reading a script is so impersonal and makes me feel like a number. These are... — read more 

Any one has background of NICK SKWIAT? Looks hired by Tireman to lead SIBG Mfg

Many comments deleted from the original thread, including mine, and it appears when you try to submit new comments they do not load or update. Leadership has pretty thin skin. Not sure why they would want to delete a post with a statement that says... — read more

With the drastic headcount reduction, will the senior leadership plan to remove "work your Way"? So that they can get more people back to office to cover the slack? Any HR personnel reading this??

Maybe Tamera will come back to save us. It would be nice to have some ladies in our c suite and we would all follow her.

I have no more patience to watch the decline of this company nor do I want to continue spending my time here. I don't think there is any way to stop the death spiral anymore. Or do some still think there is?
