So I’ve been interviewing the last couple weeks and every company I’ve been to so far says they question that I was laid off from a major operator. Obviously there’s nothing I can do about that now but move forward. But does being laid off signify... — read more 

I haven't noticed that this company is trying to reduce turnover, nor is it trying to avoid regrettable turnover. Managers should definitely be much more concerned. I would be very careful about agreeing to stay after having quit your job, but I... — read more

I saw someone make a comment about another announcement affecting folks in Canada. Can anyone share more info?

Anyone familiar with this site must have noticed in the last few weeks an exponential increase in corporate troll activity, corresponding to the outrage generated by the announcement of yet another oversized PIP (disguised layoff). The method was... — read more

I heard that Exxon is going to be cutting g health benefits next and going with the cheapest dental, vision, medical, mental health and proactive health perks to try to save money. How low can they go, terrible how they plan to slash our benefits.

Do goto/moves, filter by new employee, welcome your new overseas rulers. Hint: We didn’t stop hiring, we just stopped hiring in the US. You were laid off due to skill sets, you were laid off because you were too expensive.

Gotta love the irony.

If you are put in the NSI group and you are retirement eligible are you offered PIL and be able to retire after three months? Just wondering what the options are. I was in the good category last ranking and I just want to be prepared because I do... — read more

No one is mentioning the rising interest rates for the third and fourth quarters and how they affect the lump sum payout. This will probably cause more exits than the PIP could ever hope to.

Why bother submitting questions or comments? Nothing is anonymous (despite what is shown on screen) and only the "harmless" topics are addressed, so ... why bother spending precious energy and time which yields little to nothing?
