Signal Relief will be cut - starting with 40 across the system. Mechanical that signed up for the vacation buyout will be gone on 2/12 - but have to stay until then. With the Board of directors meetings coming first week of Feb, expect more layoffs right after bonus time.... if there is a bonus. I assume most of it will be 'retention stock' then those individuals will be prompted walked out with a 25% vesting. My thoughts are with the rest of you still caught in this.

We were hit hard on the 13th.i haven't seen a vacation buy out offer, other than the one a few years ago to sell a week of your vacation.
It was only posted at mechanical service units that are going to have major furloughs! I have a feeling my location will be hit very hard
