I am thankful I don't work for CHC anymore. For those that have stayed, CHC counts on people staying no matter what because they think employees don't like change. How surprised CHC would be if masses of critically placed people (you know who you are) moved to better companies asap while you are still employed. You have far superior bidding value if you seek a new position while still employed. And always ask for more $$ (at least 10%). There are some managers who will not even consider a candidate that is unemployed when applying for a position so keep that in mind if you are waiting to be RIF'd. It is a dream of mine to see people rush out the door so CHC gets a taste of its own medicine and learn why they shouldn't treat valuable employees with such callousness. Some skills can't be outsourced to India without customer's screaming for a variety of reasons. So this would cause CHC to feel the hurt because they don't want any negative publicity before the IPO. And don't think your manager has your best interests in mind when they placate you with empty promises. Mgmt doesn't care what happens as long as they get paid their checks, MIPs, and IPO stock options.
