CDO Townhall
Hearing reference to quiet period, what does that mean?
I'm feeling completely demotivated
Stankey is a true morale and productivity ki-ler.
Why we should strike?
Is our CEO and his cronies worth millions a month? The “where we work” is just plain evil! We have more non employees than badge employees.
Has anyone taken advantage of the resource provided to help find a new job?
It looks like this outside company provides resume help etc.? Just wondering if anyone who has recently been surplussed has utilized this resource and if they have found it worthwhile or not?
Customer abuse with clueless non employees in customer service titles!
Every day clueless non employees make up lies to customers. They make up commitments which upsets our customers more. Why is this acceptable?
