Seriously Follett; isn't the Suddenly Stupid routine getting a little old? If we were all so incompetent, why were we all hired in the first place?

More layoffs today. Budgeting is starting for next fiscal year so expect more. IT alone has to cut several millions from the budget for next year.

What's going on with leaders of this company? You bring in an idiot who only knows how to talk in buzz words, has done nothing, and start outsourcing hiring? So instead of cutting expenses, she is increasing expenses. From what I hear, she's quite... — read more

my boss told me over here at flr that the old fsc building will be gone come summer and that the flr building will be gone at the end of next. all employees are expected to move to the building in westchester or become contractors and work remote.

What a mess. They all look/act like they hate each other and that just makes me even more nervous for the future of this organization. I'm looking to get out so I can breathe again.

Leadership has learned. Avoid the high publicity mass layoffs. Force out the employees through high stress attrition, retirement etc. Look at the number of employees that left on their own. So many talented employees.
