executives donate salary
Many ceos are donating some of their salary to help offset costs to the company they work for. Just disappointed.

we might be safe for now but wait until this is over, that's when we'll see the worst of it. if you think outsourcing was bad before, just wait until they realize how many jobs can be done at home. and when they realize that, they'll realize they can... — read more

Any chance work from home will stick after this?
There are plenty of us who are not allowed to work from home otherwise, unlike tech support, but we are now doing that and there's nothing that's impeding us in our work. We are as productive as when in the office, if not more. And frankly, I prefer... — read more

Another Great Ratty Decision - TW Pension

Layoffs in Illinois construction/I&R
Can anyone confirm that layoffs are coming to Illinois's I&R and Linemen groups? Chicago seems to be the area with any significant work.
Is this guy for real?

Job titles for Managers

Is it possible?
Today is the first day in a long while that I have googled AT&T and only received positive coverage on the first page. Mind you, it's all the same subject just covered by different media, but still! I'm so used to seeing negative coverage that this... — read more

Why would any of the $5.5B be for severances?
