This is so messed up! While most of us took massive pay cuts he took 7.5% last year. Some folks took as much as 60% bonus pay cuts. This year it wasn't a windfall for 95% of the company and barely makes the difference in last year's loss. What a sc-m... — read more

Curious if anyone who is unvaccinated has heard anything about RTO. If not, do you have a contingency plan?
