"I fault myself for not paying more attention' is what CEO Ryan Lance told us is one of the reasons he has to cut 25% of the workforce. He was too focused on swallowing smaller rivals. Ryan Lance's was paid $23.12 million in 2024. $15.42 was a... — read more 

Sent out hundreds of resumes, reached out to everyone I know. Got one interview, and it went sideways. I just wanted to see what options are out there, to ease my mind ahead of the layoffs. Now I’m just more desperate.
