A few analysts were recently let go. Seems like C&S Ohio is dying a slow death ever since MMP and DSNP have gone away. We were told it was due to the business like they were supporting was basically dead? I am assuming that was DSNP. MMP has been gone for several months now. The speculation rumor mill is that these analysts had been there quite a while and were probably making good money so they let them go to save money. I dont know if it was random or if the leadership all conjour together and figure out who they can let go. Its very interesting that not one leadership person in Ohio was effected by losing MMP. One person left but they just went to the national line of business. Never trust any of these people in leadership. They are not your friend. They are all out for themselves and they get together to discuss who to keep and who not to keep. I would be very wary in Ohio C&S especially if you make good money. If you arent making good money you are probably safe because you dont effect the budget at all. Stay vigilant out there! Always have an updated resume.
