I sense it since 2016 that SST was going to lay off a lot of people. Every time someone quit or found a new job they never replaced them. Then in 2017 when they force us to trained all of the Indian new hires online. I was out with a new job in 2... — read more

It’s very quiet lately... calm before the sh-- storm. LOL!!!!

You don’t need 95% of the c-ap you spend your pay on. Fact. Start taking a good look at why you spend on what you spend on. If you are in debt due to mortgages and cars, you’re doing it wrong. You’re welcome.

First of all, I don’t want to be taken the wrong way. I applaud that the new CEO had the guts to start cutting from the top. Regardless of that, I see some hypocrisy in our perception of this News. When nothing is happening, or regular workers are... — read more

Time to say goodbye to long-time PR flack, sycophant and poser Hannah Grove?

Ha Ha Ha... its finally happening!

It’s odd how all companies give raises and bonuses and STT only selectively hands them out. That’s wage attrition. Hoping you can barely sc-ape by and leave for a new company never to fill the void.

Sorry the job market is not kind to people over the age of 50, most companies view us as expensive workers. So they prefer to hire the cheapest lowest skilled workers they can find. Even if you do find a job its going to pay you 30% to 40% less than... — read more
