Do you think Connor is gonna be one of them in the layoff list?
We could save probably a million dollars or more in compensation and benefits but cutting his role. Thoughts? Easy way to save money and reduce headcount.
The 5 people you meet in RCSA…
The ORBO, the BACO, the COSO, the RAU owner and the EIEIO! What a monumental waste of time and resources. Could have been a much better and more coordinated process. Just rehashing things and coming up with new ideas on the fly, 5,000 time over all... — read more

Did a great job but manager preventing me from getting other roles.
How would you handle this?
The latest slogan for recruiting, seriously? "Take a deep breath. Release slowly. Repeat. well life is time off to recharge."
