Has anyone heard how many accepted the ATO offer? Many, few...?

The ISD Center was put in TSAC today with 60 days notice until September 15 surplus call.

This has been talked about for like a year and nothing has happened. Does anybody have solid evidence of it occurring this year, or should I just walk out and forget about the 13 years?

Just got the email this morning asking for management employees to voluntarily leave the company with a enhanced severance package. Near the bottom of her email it talks about how many more of these will be coming in the near future.

Heard yesterday that there is going to be a company SIPP offer to anyone who wants to take it. No head count limit. But I will believe it when I see It. Maybe more just false news rumor which is rampant on this board.

Since there's really not a lot of areas for people to get this information except from this board so I do apologize if this is out of line. I was wondering if other retail corporate stores in other markets were experiencing a downturn in traffic. I... — read more
