Severance papers signed and looking forward to my 6 months of free money. Over 25 years spent at O and now it feels like a divorce, in a good way. It is time to move on and enjoy my early retirement. So glad this chapter is over!

We've hit the point where cutting your way to a higher stock price no longer works. The cracks are showing, reality is finally catching up.

For those remaining that we want to target, let's make it difficult and wrong, until they quit. I will never stand up for this company again. Unappreciative ba----ds.
