I took the call, best thing I ever did. Look even those still loyal to the company are bitter to fellow workers. I've got no issues being loyal to new management or whoever your paycheck is coming from but when you turn sour toward your fellow coworker, that just an unhealthy environment regardless of the pay and one you will feel better once you extricate yourself from.
I'm not at AEP, but hear they are still hiring and it's very much a work hard, honest environment....which is probably what most people want anyway.
