HR is the most poorly run and most miserable organization at Chuck. That is all.

A few weeks passed since RTO started. What's the gossip on that? How much are you and your colleagues complying with it? Are some people cheating? Any tips or tricks to share? Is HR or real estate collecting data on badge swipes and time sheets?

Layoffs are the gifts that keep on giving. Everyone should have the experience once in their life so they can see first hand how they impact people’s lives. If you have not experienced it you have NO idea thus the many of the ignorant comments on... — read more

What are your thoughts?

I fully regret investing any of my salary into the purchase plan...The leadership of this company has tanked the stock. Dump and run or ride this crash course out?
