Application Rejections
Has anyone genuinely had any luck with their job search? I must say multiple rejections do not make this situation easier. Good luck to us all! I’m sure something better is coming for us!

This administration is coming after fraud.

London Calling (non vsp)
Do you think Sarah London has any idea who The Clash even are. This has bugged me for a long time.

Anyone else not have their money go into their account after this last paycheck on Thursday?
Do you think the VSP dates change due to the many VSP they received?
Just thinking there is a delay due to having to go thousands of VSP applications.
Serious question about VSP. If you were offered a job, but had to start prior to Sept 1 or 4. Take it?
or take package. And also in a debate about even giving 2 weeks notice at this point when they want me out anyway.
