I am almost certain I will be axed this time around. Aside from a dull gut feeling I have nothing else to use as an explanation for expecting this, yet, I feel I am already on the list despite the fact that I have a 3/3 rating. An exceptional... — read more 

Is there a date yet when the Concordville office will close?

The executives are far too removed from what goes on in the departments they're responsible for. So they have no clue. Flattening the organization will help, but not if the executives aren't qualified for their jobs.

Let's discuss. Let's vent.

What a horrible year. I've been employed for 20+ years and this is the worst year so far. I just learned that Toys R Us went bankrupt and 30,000 will lose jobs. That's 30,000 people affected - this is massive and where will we be in a year. They are... — read more

This is a rumor I heard in the office, not online (oh, all that water-cooler gossip). Is Tipsord really out? I guess we'll have to wait until the board meeting is done.

Can anyone confirm or squash rumors that abound regarding the board meeting? From everything I understand, it became quite heated. I understand the nature and veracity of rumors, however, in my years of experience, there is always some hint of truth.

Someone mentioned 80% in this message @SbjoiY3-zkv - do you know what's this 80% refering to. I know it's not the whole company, but what groups will be hammered this bad.....

Can anyone summarize the ADSV transformation/transition meeting held today? Thanks.

in a cynical move state farm lays off middle management. typically people who have not made it to full pension. announced today . again affecting the people who have been most loyal to the company

Just wondering, it's been a while since we got any actual news? Did I miss something?

I’ve heard that the turnover rate at the three hubs Is well over 100% a year. Does anybody know the real figure?

Isn’t the annual report usually made available online by this time of year? All that’s been posted within the company is the fourth-quarter report. I imagine they’re trying to keep the bad news from going public as many as possible
