how many people SF got rid of very perfidiously over the past few months by bringing them to a breaking point at which they quit themselves?
I find it hard to believe that SF is not doing this, because it is the story of several of my colleagues who were good employees but were subjected to a lot of pressure because of which they decided to leave here. It seems to me that this company is still implementing that plan. Does SF want most of us to leave?

Unfortunately, I took early retirement! It's truly not fair (know that live isn't fair) that a person should cut their pension based upon working in inhumane conditions. It's makes a person bitter towards those that get are in other areas that can work to get their full pension.
I will have to work forever! No true retirement for me!
It is clear that SF 's intention is to reduce the work force without mass layoff or offering a severance package. They have turned up the pressure to an unrealistic level so that people would just drop like flies. If they did value the talents then they wouldn't be so underhanded with their approach. Many talented people had the courage and believe in themselves have left, and found better opportunities.
Over the past few months I’ve had three on my team alone. They were amazing people and had tons of experience. They just couldn’t do it anymore. Over the past few years though, it’s over ten. Prior to our current operation model… zero.
I bet the number is in the thousands.
I left recently.
That’s diabolical, but I can see it happening right before my eyes as a claim employee! Time to get out or make them pay by staying on. Either way, they loose valuable experience or they pay me to stay with knowledge that it hurts them more than it hurts me! Want to play a game?
Simple answer is yes, their entire business model depends on about 35%-40% on average turnover company wide to keep expenses low. In places like Express, ILR or CCC it can run between 65%-70% a year for planned attrition. They want to turn over the entire work force every 3-5 years if at all possible. Again keeps expense low/fixed. It's the lean/agile business model. You have to keep the workforce stressed out, unhappy, over-worked, low-pay, constant overtime, unreasonable goals/micro-management and so on and so on.... Basically they are using the just-in-time business model in an office environment. It's how we got ourselves in the exact same position as every other business from an "inventory" and staffing perspective. It's why SF never gets better and you have that hopeless feeling each day you turn on that computer. You keep telling yourself it's got to get better but it never does and usually get's worse! Your f-cked! Sorry!
YES!
