We've suffered a catastrophic level of voluntary attrition in Ottawa. It's so bad that we can't execute programs anymore. Management deals with it by pretending there's nothing wrong, so we just keep losing top talent. This is definitely not just an... — read more

Take care of yourself
It is called capitalism. Find a better job. It is not going to get any better. We had VP tell people in Tucson, that the reason we should stay is because we have a great view of the Mtns. Sad.
