Early Warning for the OFS folks, be prepared for fast and furious change. Frank is going to come in like a hurricane when JY leaves and he is finally fully in control.

You can read between the lines when leaders address you; he's miffed, and I'm not sure he believes himself when he says "no rush" to get back. I am not sure why he dislikes WFH so much; I feel like we've been pulling our weight and working hard... — read more 

Not just individual comments, but noticed that entire posts have been removed from this board. How fragile is Tony Soprano?

As OFD I know travel is audited extensively. Who and why and if it makes sense. It’s clear OFS FTS travel has raised a lot of flags for “anomalies”. If and when travel does occur expect it to be the OFD way, not the OFS version
