We've been airing our grievances all year. LJE, SC, JM, SM, and our unethical middle management won't listen, but at least we have an anonymous job board to get us through!

My guess is no, but who would really be surprised? LJE, SC, JM, et al are some of the most callous people out there and deserve coal and large SEC fines. I hope those impacted find the support they need this holiday season.
