It is tough out there.

It’s quite unfortunate that there is no transparency in this organization. The Uniondale office has had rumors of its imminent closure for more than a year, yet no clear discussion. It’s the worst kept secret in the company. Hard working long term employees are waiting in angst to see where they will eventually end up-if at all-200 Park?? 240 G?? And when will the higher up’s finally give the little people the answer? There are many considerations for the mostly LI RESIDENTS- the cost of the LIRR, the extra time added to an already long day, child care, elder care, even pet care, but it seems like the “decision makers” don’t care. It used to be a terrific place to work, with talented and dedicated employees, yet some how these wonderful employees are falling by the wayside. I hope they Uniondale office gets some clarity soon, secrecy is certainly not a great way to conduct business.
