Layed off and not layed off but completely demoralized and malcontents? It seems like 80-90 percent of people fall into that categories. Seems like an Al Chainsaw Dunlap move to sell the company and what's left of it.
So it begins
I received an e-mail from a colleague today saying I cannot schedule a meeting for certain periods during the weekday, because they have RTO'd and will be commuting during those specific time periods. This was a guy who typically would have been... — read more
