Is Anyone on unpaid leave?

Does anyone know if people have been forced on unpaid leave for not providing their vac status or not getting the shot on Dec 27th. I haven’t heard anything.

Don’t trust The techs! From a former tech.

They’ve proven themselves to be selfish, slimey, and have no loyalty. They rat on their brothers and sisters, always trying to make themselves look good to their foreman. They weasel themselves out of jobs, preferring to sleep over work. If you’re... — read more

Many people here are not bad, but this culture has made them look bad. It seems to me that this company has corrupted many? I know a few people who worked hard and gave their best and are now hated here, but only because they realized on time that... — read more

What percentage when moving up bands?

Is it capped around 10%? Can anyone go from a 7T to 6V and does that increase the percentage or would you get the same as if you moved to 7v?

Just Curious...

With all this work from home talk, would those who are advocating for it be willing to take a pay decrease or give up contractual raises, for the opportunity to work from home?

Why do the most talented bother them?

It is quite obvious that it is not good to be among the most talented and capable employees here. It is better to be average and work under the radar. I just wonder why so much "fear" of the most talented and aversion to people whom all promising... — read more
