Tomorrow is my last day at EM, deleting my bookmark to this site, to be honest really couldn’t care what happens at EM anymore. Later di-kheads

I never planned to retire early but after seeing how others are treated I am going out on a high note rather than waiting to be put in a PIP and forced out. Goodbye everyone! PS: rising interest rates also helped me decide to leave.

For decades I enjoyed my job and was ranked well. Then they flipped a switch when I hit my mid 40s and started dropping my ranking. Now I dread work and am looking for a new job. I can’t sleep any more and it is really impacting my health. I don’t... — read more
