Office politics consumes half of a work day and all the energy
Why would mgmt allow that cr-p to go on? Because they too have nothing better to do?

Will joining a union actually help save our jobs?
I see flyers in the lunch room and common spaces spread throughout the AZ campuses trying to get employees to start a union. Will this actually help save our jobs and improve the quality of our jobs? Mgt can just lay us off union or not, right???

Early Retirement
WF needs to come up with an incentive for those who qualify for retirement but are not at retirement age. That would clear out so many people and the company would unload cost of long tenured employees who probably hate their job anyway.
Sad Story
A person in her 60s, with a retired spouse, insists on continuing to work despite their age and health challenges. The reasons? The desire to get the 401(k) match, the annual bonus, and because the income is “too good to pass up.” Due to health, they... — read more

Layoffs during leave
I know a few people who were laidoff during maternity leave, short term disability and out on PTO for more than 3 weeks. Shartz has no soul. Zero concern for anyone but himself and his bonus.
Anyone else seeing this?

How does RTO handle PTO and holiday
Let’s say you had 1 holiday and 2 PTO days in a week. Does that meet your 3 day quota? Or how does their methodology account for these days?
RTO pushed me out
I first wanted to wait it out until being laid off. I gave up in the end. They won, but I won too. I used the time in the office to look for jobs, and I found a much better and more convenient option. It took time, but it worked out in the end. I’m... — read more
