Lynch and the other bozos do not adhere to the expense report policie. I see it every day. the limits imposed for meals and travel are not followed by Lynch, stern. Trust me when I say this. As Dwight would say “ FACT. Lynch is a hypocrite.”

18 months ago - "gotta make the books look better for creditors, let's pay people to leave." This week - "gotta make our story look better for purchasers, people are leaving, let's pay them half of their sales comp to stay." The irony is hilarious. 😂

Listen I don’t work at SGAS anymore. I left to go to what I thought was a better place. I was an avid reader and contributor to the posts on this site and quite frankly let it influence me way too much. After being in several roles since SGAS I am... — read more 

I'm getting tired of being left in the dark. Is this how little they respect us?

Here is the thing. I imagine a lot of us feel betrayed. Betrayed by Stern and the LT. When people say "if you don't like it, just move on"....well, perhaps some people were blindsided by the actual filing of Chapter 11. We could very well be laid off... — read more 

If the new people want to sell off or liquidate, then why sink $100 mill into SAS? Thoughts?

I've heard that in Chapter 11 situations older employees who earn more are specifically targeted - do we know if this will be the case here as well? And if it will, is there anything we can do about it? This sounds like a clear case of age... — read more

After today’s call regarding chapter 11 is everything going downhill from here? I know it’s an obvious answer wonder what’s going to happen to the UK.
