Another tool in the layoff toolkit? Get hammered in May, rated off track in June, find yourself on the list by year-end…Does this resonate with you or am I reading too much into it?

Any word on the next/final round of lay offs for East Syracuse and Oriskany employees? I thought it was Q1 this year and while I know they laid off a bunch in February there are still some of us left. When will we get laid off?

It's always rush mode. Always stress. Always another thing due yesterday. I honestly can't remember what a normal day feels like anymore. Just starting work without that immediate weight on your chest sounds like a dream.

...ain't nothing "VP"about the salary. How has this company not yet updated salary bands? It's not 2008 anymore.

Our Q1 earnings call opened with its usual corporate shine: revenue up, efficiency up, and the stock price climbing like it had somewhere far better to be. But when the discussion turned to employee merit increases, the mood darkened faster than a... — read more 

Thank you for contributing to our success ! (and by “our” I mean…well, if u know u know)

RV has brought us to the flourishing Netherworld. Everything in our business has withered and died.

Apparently, a family member having a medical emergency that requires someone to be present isn't a valid reason for a remote work exception! I learned my lesson, I'll just call off sick instead of giving a damn about this sc-mmy org.

guarantee bny will do all this work and will get stiffed when it comes to getting paid by the administration

It used to be “bandwidth” and “let’s circle back.” Now managers are saying “what is the ask” like crazy. Are they instructed from above to do this? Very stupid.
