Glad I decided to walk away.
No thanks. I’ll stay where it’s more economical and not go to that over priced dump.
Going great for me. I didn’t relocate. I was granted a virtual spot. And just left away with a 19K raise. All good.
Moving to Dallas has been a good decision so far. One of the big complaints I’ve always had was no ability to move to new positions. Opportunities are wide open at the hub. I do recommend moving over the summer so kids can start a new school year at their new location. This makes the adjustment easier for everyone.
“Gas, insurance, and registration is lower and I'm in the process of getting my LTC something not remotely possible where I used to live.“
Why do you want to get your (LTC) long tongue cut? Sounds painful.
It's fine so far.
Wife and I chose to rent near work to keep the commute down.

We're researching good areas to buy a house.
Working in Dallas. Just received a 22% pay increase.
I am not upset with all the people who chose not to move.
I was part of the forced decision to relocate or be fired, it boils down to each one’s circumstances. It would have been beneficial to work a few more years but Stankey forced me into early retirement because, they never offered any relocation assistance or any job guarantee after moving, upon their insistence. Too many unknowns and uncertainties, I could have been made virtual but he wants headcount reductions so, I became a statistic for the next “Human Capital” Power Point presentation.
I may have to seek employment elsewhere at the age where ageism is a reality in order to have the necessary funds to last the rest of my lifetime. I would like to thank the BOD and Stanley for the place you’ve brought us, decisions have consequences, unfortunately I and a hundred thousand of others have had to pay that price since, there aren’t any for the execs that made them.
Enjoy your 27 million a year, bonus and all your other perks, Et tu Brute?
I think it is like Stockholm syndrome for those who are retired and still check on things here or maybe they worked the majority of their life for the company and hence are transitioning as folks spend more time in the office with their own families.
“I told him to go F themselves too but instead of retiring they gave me a virtual exception so I’m still making that money.”
Same!

Don’t know. I’m not being asked to relocate.
Congratulations for getting away
This is a depressing thread.
“The elite are shuttering their business locations in small to mid-size communities. Forcing workers to large metros, in order to increase their profits in their business interests and commercial real estate.”
Then why are we shuddering all these locations in Atl, Fl, and NJ? Dropping all this real estate onto the market doesn’t help them
Feels awesome being retired, did I miss something? Sycophants act like they are the only ones that are allowed to post their misinformation on this site and attack victims of poor leadership decisions. Sorry but I and others will keep posting the truth about the culture and downfall that has affected 100k+ former employees. Ageism is real and the CEO has indulged in it during a few town halls and meetings.
Happy yet you can't stay away from here. Not truly retired I see.

It’s become too metropolitan, traffic everywhere. Long drive times to and from work, work/life balance has changed dramatically.
I moved to Plano 10 years ago. Lazy little suburb. Commute to downtown was not too bad if you left early. 30 min. Driving home was about an hour. Dallas was a 9-5 city. Now can’t drive anywhere without traffic and Plano is little Dallas. It was nice while it lasted.
Happy here too. Said no to relocating so, given 2 weeks off payroll email and severance. Retired life is great, blood pressure has gone down avg. 30 pts. Posted to let my fellow coworkers know that if you are able, take the money and run, feel so much better now and didn’t have to leave my family or community. Those that caused the downfall of a bluechip will get their’s in the end, for all the mayhem they have caused.
We can tell how happy you by your post all these months later on the layoff board.
I live in a growing city 20 miles east of Downtown. The commute downtown isn't horrible and will be much better when the highway expansion is complete. I enjoy working downtown and getting exposure to leadership it's afforded me many opportunities I wouldn't have had working other places.
I hear it's kinda warm in the summer.
It’s so bad, from every aspect of life. No idea what I was thinking moving here.
