I was understanding that the PBGC Rate was dropping to 0% for November which controls the Lump Sum for the first quarter of next year(the middle month, the quarter prior). Why is the rate now shown as .25?

What’s an estimated percentage raise for someone getting promoted from band 7 to 6 Individual Contributor?

Now shows .25 for January-Feb. About a 5% increase in lump sum.

I tore my cuff a couple months ago, on std. Does being on std freeze the rate your at from that point. Thinking about leaving and other people seem to show their increase as of last week, I don't see any, except on " projection" for February. Off... — read more

Is Verizon really going to place fios in all the blocks in n.y.c ,or are they just patching up stuff until those areas that they have trouble getting FIOS, will they get 5g to those areas to appease n.y.state
