Went Christmas shopping in the eastern Ohio area..empty shelves and no displays anywhere. I thought mission 1 was supposed to be an improvement. Do they even still employ sales reps?

From Revenue Assurance/FinOps
Florida / Miami
Ohio / Columbus

I used to work there long ago and was curious if it's still around, and if it's still relevant? I would imagine most of the call center jobs that were there (and in FL and AZ) were all outsourced to India.

I can confirm two more people left us during the week of November 10th in one of the assets in Ohio. I can also confirm a suspicious upcoming retirement and a transition.
