Take away pension, and drop the idea of any 401k matching, cut salaries in half and no promotions in the next 15 years. This is the price for the sin committed by those who participated in ergo pretense, power point finessing, and handrail holding. — read more 

Outside with industry experience. Vote yay or nay.

Who is facilitating the ergo program now in Houston?

Ya baby. I won't quit so soon.

Does DW really think his "apology" will make any difference? Does he think that anybody with more than two working brain cells will believe anything he says after the latest fiasco? The ineptitude of people leading this company is sometimes truly... — read more 

So many people have left on the trade floor that upper management has become so desperate that they gave multiple experienced traders salary increases. They did this because they were threatening to leave too. Should the rest of us band together... — read more 

If you are planning on firing people, then just go ahead and do it. The only reason I can find for them saying that this will be done over three years is to create the type of stressful work environment that'll get many of us to quit. Firing people... — read more

Downstream Canada forum announced an above field study under HW3 and how it can impact headcount. Anyone have details on this and what groups will be targeted? Thanks.

Been promised since April, still not available at the end of June. Embarrassed to let employees see how much they lost with the 401k match whacked. This would be a good time to ask, remind me again how much of a compensation hit DW took?

I know they are supposed to start in July, but does anyone know if they will happen at the beginning, middle or end of the month? I am in EMIT if that effects it.
