I am fairly new to the company, about 7 months. Our segment recently announced that they would be putting people on performance plans. Can I be placed on a plan if 5 months of the 7 were on ramp or am I safe until I hit a tear of service?

One big reason not talked about here why the company will likely offer T workers the VTP on 12/15/22 and/or on 3/15/23 is for a strategic and quick change with its employee diversity numbers using caps so that specific numbers of certain people will... — read more
