I have NEVER seen workplace morale so bad. Literally can't find a person who agrees with the current path the executives are taking. Does the BOD even care that both craft and management are beyond pizzed at this company? Do they care that the... — read more

Post them here!
The customers really like me but I doubt if that is enough anymore.

I couldn't be more happy to be paid to leave this company. I really do not buy into the executive vision for the future of the company. Trying to get a bunch of communications people to challenge Facebook and google in the ad insertion real, is a... — read more
Don't hate the guys working on H1Bs. Hate the greed of the management that is making these decision to hire them.
Lets not get distracted and focus on the guy on H1B. He/She is just working and earning a pay check. Atleast they did not walk across the border illegally and take that job. Focus the attention on the management and the politicians that make this... — read more
Should I worry?
Should I worry tomorrow when I go into the office? Everyday now has become a paranoid work week just waiting for the tap on my shoulder. Also my office is now empty due to all the great people that were letgo.

Where is the representation?
I'm tired of hearing comments here about how the company doesn't care about this or that section of the business, as if we just have to accept it, and that's that. This company HAS AN OBLIGATION to provide service to the public. The PUC's and PSC's... — read more

Congress is another name for brokers? They want to increase the H1B visas. Last month
they increased H2/visas by 4 fold. It is America that wanted to tear down the frontiers for trade based on demand and supply. They called names like protectionist economies and blamed other countries. They offshore all the manufacturing to China... — read more
