I am virtual and asked to move to Charlotte. How is this place in terms of Job, which schools are good, etc? Did anyone move recently?

A couple months ago I reported an egregious coffee badging colleague at the Charlotte office. He habitually swipes his badge, plugs his laptop in, grabs a hot drink, then unplugs his laptop and disappears for the entire day. I then see him pop up online about 30 minutes later but I don’t see him in person again for the rest of the day. I don’t know what HR did about it after my report since they can’t tell me, but it seems like it’s NOTHING because just this morning, it happened again. I guess I’ll keep submitting reports until something changes or HR tells me they at least reached out to him. I’ll report every last person that I see abusing the system. We need to get rid of these leeches.

Ally Financial had layoffs today, impacting about 2% of employees as part of workforce consolidation and process optimization (oh, this sounds so official). Ally is shifting teams and focus... it's reorganizing its structure let's say they are seeking "efficiencies". The comms are out - I know some in Charlotte were among those affected.

The cuts are mostly concentrated in upper and middle management w/managers + above most impacted, they hammered folks with no dir reports (or low # of dir reports). Some folks claim that that some groups began seeing cuts on Halloween Friday, but that has not been confirm and most folks did not hear about it...

Last Friday someone spilled the beans ahead of time, see @OP+1k8x5qazb and pretty much was 100% on target.

This round of layoffs is now over, you can go to your cube and relax until the next layoff event which is certainly almost behind the corner.

Good luck all.

In the last two weeks two Store Managers of high profile stores-prototype Pineville and South Park both out???? And at this time of the year??
