You'd think HR would extend the deadline given the Crowdstrike issue! I couldn't logon to make the selection, now I gotta work at a company that is heading downhill faster than Joe Biden on a gurney!

When you stop believing in customer service and start cutting corners in that regard, then you can't be surprised when customers decide to take their business where they still feel valued. It's really not that complicated. Or at least it shouldn't be... — read more

If I’m refused, then get RIFed, am I getting that famous enhanced package?

Is it true there were layoffs on 7/19? Is it true Value had impacts?

Heard there were major org changes announced today. Anyone have any details? Who is moving where?

Yeah. I’m that broke.

Is this true? I’m surprised, frankly. We can expect massive RIFs immediately afterwards in order to meet cost-cutting targets. Is there some not so obvious reason people are not taking VSP? I want to take it, now I’m wondering if there’s something I... — read more 

Vz Connect (telematics) doing what they do best, laying people off today.

How long between your last paycheck and the vsp or pension payment?

Does anyone from MA know if unused personal days are paid out? Or anyone from the 2018 VSP out there from MA that remembers if they did?
