Are they still offering PIL for PIP employees. Will turn 55 before ranking results are official. Feel like I will put back at the bottom. I was taken off for a year.

I saw the post about LCS ranking being brutal. How is it for the Houston based Guyana BU employees?

Going to be an interesting year for the 300 people that have been brought into LCS. More than half will see their Hi-Po career derailed. You may not think it would happen to you as a “chosen one” but it will to most.
