Is there a way to obtain a copy of a recent paystub?

Every year I fill this thing out and nothing changes. More layoffs than ever, never a raise insight. What better way to show our collective distain for the same old bullsh-t is to ignore their request.

Lookout, the big one is coming.

Tech layoffs happening now.

Rumors going around about field ops layoffs, anyone know anything? NT , BST, & CST. Heard they did not get enough people to take severance.

Found out while I was on vacation that I was laid off along with 120 other people

Another round of layoffs happening as we speak….

they just hit us with a layoff announcement this week, no official word on the numbers yet but it's looking like ~10% staff cut at each exchange

Tom Tom has done it again, CSTs are being let go starting in Nov. We’ve been understaffed for 3 years, behind on tickets by three weeks, and their solution is to ki-l the customer facing jobs. 10/10 play Tom Tom. I wonder how much of that government... — read more

I can sort of understand that they value us less and less, but have you noticed that they don't care much about customers either? It's sad what this place has turned into.

Soo I got laid off earlier in the year and got a job offer to come back making almost 5k less than I was making because "thats all they can offer right now" ... I'm feeling like I should just wait on the next train to come through and get a better... — read more

How many weeks of pay do you get with the severance package?

Cheers mates.

I believe that the extent of the damage caused by this terrible management could best be expressed by the number of people who were comfortable working here but still ended up leaving, as well as excellent employees who at one point simply decided... — read more

We’re there any layoffs yesterday?

Someone mentioned parts shortages. I often wonder if the leadership is doing everything they can to solve that issue or if they could still do more?
