"Stay alive." — Haymitch Abernathy’s blunt, recurring survival advice.

I heard that Accenture doing a "survey" and may takeover GNT / Engineering soon. Anyone heard the same?

I watched both the earnings call and the CEO's all hands and the message from both was pretty positive. Nothing like the message he conveyed right before the big layoff back in November. I'm thinking things look good until at least November.

Can former VSP recipient be eligible for rehire after 12 months?

A lot of chatter around layoffs, but it seems that they are going to just starve out and fire folks in the B2B Mid Market space. Unattainable quotas, 30 day PIP process, calls for 75% of our time which limits finding real deals within our base. Over... — read more 

Look around at who’s left. It’s hard not to feel like we’re all temporary at this point. Layoffs keep coming, and eventually they will reach everyone they have to pay more than pocket change. Anyone still standing in the US is on borrowed time. It’s... — read more
