I have worked more than 6 years and i am wondering if i can cash put the pension when i am let go...

From my experience, if you are laid off immediately roll over your pension. There are yearly deadlines and you do not want to miss one. You can roll it over to an IRA were you should be able to get a much higher rate of return. You can do the same... — read more

So I see all these post about who should go, who should stay, technical expertise, support functions - what COP lacks is LEADERSHIP at every level in the organization. Just because you have supervisor, manager, etc. in your title does not mean you... — read more 

Didn't management want the company to become like a true independent? Did it happen? Sure doesn't sound like it. Somebody failed? That person or persons should be held accountable.
