Reposting from an older thread. @OKn5aDj-ijfk is completely on point.
Glad I found this site. Morale has been lousy at BFDS/DST since certain people left in June. Many of us have had to take on additional tasks and several groups I work with are now underperforming internally and externally due to some of the more knowledgeable people having left and the quality has suffered noticeably. Some co-workers are feeling since it's only a matter of time between September through December when they will be part of the next "workforce reduction" they are somewhat going through the motions. Terry Metzger and Vercie Lark made a big production of having "Town Hall" meetings with employees at both BFDS/DST to insure all that there would be no changes until near the end of the year and if there was those changes would be communicated immediately. To the point when asked specifically about layoffs both replied that nothing was imminent. Then BFDS/DST proceeded to blindside 150+ employees that were let go and those of us that remain that have absolutely no trust in management beginning with group managers on up.
