Keep saying layoffs are 15%? Everywhere I look it’s more like 20-30%. Maybe international payroll is lower?

WTF, seriously, is this a joke? Every person selected for the platforms in IT is non-technical. Is management trying to F with our heads before R4 or what? Its bad enough we are all stressed out from last week playing the game known as "How much dumb... — read more

Not that long ago, there was a post on here suggesting that we may see a reduction in the 401(k) match from 8% to 5% starting in early 2021. Any updates or validation of this? Any other suggestions of reductions to benefits? Salary freezes?
