Worst Place To Work

How much happier are you working from home?
I wish we never go back to the office. Working from home is great, especially since I don’t have to see some people in person. I’m twice as productive, I need a lot less time to get the job done, but it’s clear to me that I’ll have to get back to the... — read more
Union Medical Benefits retires
I tried asking my first level and he’s completely clueless. Question is what is the criteria to get retire union medical benefits? Do you have to be a certain age? What if I left the company with 22 years service and I’m only 45?
Is it smart to wait for severance

pulse survey comments AKA shoveling s*** against the tide
Anybody else here been putting comments in the pulse surveys, only to have the company just keep doing whatever they feel like doing? NOTHING has changed.
Do they even ask themselves why this company is losing people daily?
I’m leaving next week. Finally. After more than 15 years of working in this company. None of the colleagues I met when I first came here work in this company anymore, they all took their ideas to the competitors. I wonder if they even care that... — read more

Silent layoffs/ people resigning?
Silent layoffs are a reality. I wonder, however, whether there is a greater number of those who were laid off in silence or those who've left on their own?
