Consent Order / Asset Cap
Does anyone know when the asset cap will be lifted? I feel like I haven’t heard anything about it recently on the town halls. Once it’s lifted will our expense reduction culture and efficiency projects make us stronger?

Why is RTO more important than Safety?
Now every day we hear about at least an outbreak in one of our locations. Why the strong desire for keeping the RTO in place on the expense of employees wellbeing and safety? What are they waiting for? What are their expectations?
401k - getting the shaft again
The annual 401k match happened at the top of the market. It is absurd the match doesn’t happen every paycheck. We would be averaging into the market right now (getting shares at a low price) if not for company greed. Workers getting the shaft again! — read more
