I've been furloughed. Tax cuts to help middle class, booming economy. Load of bs!

Some departments are choosing to lay-off their employees tomorrow. Another sleepless night for these workers. Prayers to all.

Time for the union people and the leaders to strike. It is the only way to force out a terrible CEO. The common worker has no rights in a company, but unions do. They are only biding their time till they can work it out to do mass union layoffs.

Anyone willing/able to detail how the severance was structured? I'm curious...

I was laid off today. I learned about this site only a few days ago and started to review it regularly as I began to sense that my days at the company were numbered. I never for a second thought about commenting though...what would be the point...but... — read more

Does anyone know if they provided a severance and if so, how much?

Denver is gone!

So says the government and talking heads. Anyone who can't see this is pure BS is lacking a few screws or has them inserted in the wrong hole. Guess what? Shocker I know, but the media and government lies to us....NOWAI!!!

Have they walked anyone out at HDC?

Any updates here? What's going on in Livonia?

They've let go 10 people in LOUP so far and several in HR. Apparently CC&S will not be part of the Operating team, as well.

There are suppose to be an estimated 500 layoffs for Management employees today. HR has lost nearly 10 confirmed, LOUP has lost about 15, M&S 10 or so I’ve heard.

Unless you see a press release to the world nothing will take place this is a publicly traded company and their only worry is the stock price

The worst part is the fact they are leaving people in the dark. This is causing unnecessary stress and anxiety. Job performance today will be low.

Enough said.

Anybody knows when can we expect to hear something today?

Didn't really get much sleep - I'm a master at stressing out in advance - so today is going to be even more fun for me. But in all honesty, I hope we find out today. Any more nights like this one and I'm going to have to start medicating to stay... — read more
