And there will likely be even less innovation in the future?

It seems that GF has decided that they won't be replacing our colleagues who left. It's been almost a year already. Isn't that extremely frustrating? Those who make decisions here probably expect that the remaining people will accept additional... — read more

Revenue projections are down, another week, another lawsuit to take the attention off poor financials .... Who is next on the lawsuit list?? :-)

I refuse to believe that the leadership will take GF to the rock bottom with their actions, although it seems as if the future of this company is exactly like that. Does anyone else believe that there is still a way to save GF and that things will... — read more

Been at GF 7 1/2 grueling years, and never have I seen so many outsiders helping new/lost leaders make decisions for those of us that actually do the job? Why so many partners, this feels a lot like Mckensey Round 2. Not to mention, having a neck... — read more

So many bad reviews on Glassdoor for GF. Does anyone actually enjoy working here at GF or does everyone really want to leave?

Anyone have any news on the Dresden layoff? Happening? If so when? How many?
