All the cuts and savings and experienced skilled people losing jobs at waters to fund Udits 14 million pay cheque is ludicrous really isn’t it

Is it just me, or does it seem that every time we had layoffs, those who were laid off skewed older? Most of the people I know who were affected are in their late 40s and above. It's starting to feel like once you turn a certain age, you immediately... — read more

Is any of it true?

What is it with the amount of summer students in Wexford we have way to many, does not make sense with our targets been low

Bravo Waters. Bravo. Impressive.

Some rumors of more June layoffs. Is it true?

Any area we know for sure is safe?

So nervous about today, I can't function!

I joined four months ago, should I be worried about layoffs?

The 3 benchmarks are AI, S&P500 and cd’s/treasuries for 5 years total return AI. 100%+ S&P500. 85% CD’s/Tr. 15% Waters 0% Waters is clearly not a growth company, but stagnant.

We are told at each quarter we will just adjust headcount up or down depending on financials. Is this common in all Waters business units?

I gave Waters everything. Late nights, weekends, all of it. Then they outsourced my job. Lesson learned. I'll never do that again.
