Yesterday, one of FE executives admitted that FE computers were hit with a virus. IT does not know how it infiltrated us or how to fix it.
@8q6, they've been happening monthly for over a year now and there's always a small uptick immediately following an earnings call. Small groups of employees being eliminated here and there across the footprint, only to then be reconsolidated in Akron. Everything has been small enough in each individual state to keep well under the WARN Act provisions. I work in a heavily cross-functional group so I get a front row view of it. The Org Chart has massive holes in it now due to elimination of Emerging Tech, Strategy, etc. along with more generalized culling of the herd.
It’s been 2 months, where are these layoffs?
@6sm, Reichsmarshal Wade and Dear Leader BXT himself are bent on running this company into the ground for the sake of private equity.
@6sm Everything you do is being tracked. He-l if you have Microsoft Authenticator on your phone they know what type of po-n you downloaded
Company wide badge swipe audits have taken place.
@bf what’s going on with the designers?
@bf I can tell you that after the PEER early retirements, job opportunities took a nose dive and never recovered. I was laid off last year so I can say if they picked up but you're best to get out all together.
@ap designer here, trying to move internally or get out all together ASAP. It’s absolutely horrid.
@OP I wouldn't be surprised. Look at how the call center people are being treated. Look how the designers are being treated.
