How will my manager manage? She has 3 pets, 2 performers, 2 under performers. How will she fit them in the corporate Thrive boxes? With only $16,485.38 cents for raises, 2 of the pets are going to be punished by being forced into the performer... — read more

It’s frustrating watching compensation rules change after the work has already been done. First PTO changes, and now a policy where employees lose their ICP if they’re not still employed two months after the fiscal year ends — even if they worked... — read more 

First they took our PTO without any compensation. Now they are going to lay us off and not have to pay any ICP if they do it prior to two months after the fiscal year. So you work the entire year and 1 month and 29 days after and they "by law" do... — read more
