Core value #3: transparency and own communication...

Everything is good here. Really haven't heard a rumor lately.

Everyone OK today?

Yes, i wish they would get started. Everyone needs to move on.

Let's get this over with. Gettin really old... Everyone is sick of this. I'm hearing 9/9/13.

So whats the consensus on dates? This coming tuesday? End of next pay cycle (two weeks...)?

I don't even think the Bob's know, I don't think most VP's know what is going to happen. I think the board and Lawler have their ideas. The rest are just pawns in this game of making the company a better publicly traded company..

Dear HR, we are your friends and neighbors. We eat next to you. We work out next to you. How about dropping us a clue as to what is going on. We'd do it for you.

I've heard 3 dates. The first date has passed. The next two are about a week out. I think something will drop before end of quarter (September). I just hope the packages are good.

So did I

I thought today was the day???

I thought today was the day???

I've got consultants in my building and I'm not in 14

Are consultants in every building, or just Bldg 14?

Great! Nothing like being on pins and needles for months... Thanks Doug, Archie, Carl & Mason.

You kidding? This place is flooded with consultants. Plenty more to come. Might be the end of the 'first wave', but we have more action ahead. Don't know when, but I don't forsee a quiet September/October.

Looks like nothing happened. Could this be the end of the first wave?

The christmas lights are more famous than the company itself, he has to.

The true test: does Doug continue the Christmas lights?

Totally agree... Well said. 17th best company to work for to this!... I'm a complete kool aid drinker and this is just torturous for a company that "cares" about retaining talent?... Making your employees sweat everyday if today is the day is not... — read more 

Totally agree! The lights have been off for months!!

Hopefully something goes down. This waiting around in the dark stuff is getting really old. People need to move on with their lives (with or without chk).
