SF Reputation and RICO
When SF settled the RICO case for 250 Million it spoke volumes about the company reputation. To say it was settled as a business decision which IMO an admission of liability. This damaged the company and it continues to spiral downward by cutting... — read more

Layoffs.com has major TDS
Do you notice that any pro TRUMP post eventually gets deleted? For example, why did they delete the reply to the TDS post regarding the economic numbers? I don't really care to much, but I enjoy pointing these things out.
Will there be Exit Offers in 2026?
Why are they not offering wfh only employees exit offers and hiring those jobs in the hubs?
What's the point of going the extra mile?

Who would join a company with this reputation?
How are we still hiring people? What are they telling candidates to make the job sound good, now that the word has gotten out about all the cr-p we go through on a daily basis? I can't see why anyone would accept an offer here right now.
