There were some rumors about possible layoffs this week, has there been any more info on that?

Everytime someone airs their grievances someone on here comes on and says...you don't like it here...get another job. Guys this board was made for employee grievances...DEAL WITH IT! LOL.

Things that should be fairly simple to execute, require a lot of effort here and take a lot more time, because this company is a total mess. Have you ever worked in a company where disorganization causes unnecessary stress and frustration?

So how much are we getting?? My money is on 3%. If so, it will be my largest increase in about 4 years. However it will still result in 5% pay cut based on the current inflation numbers.

In the UK we are told its business as usual. Is it? Are we in a sinking ship?

I've heard somebody mention possible cuts in May, is this true?
