My guess is 90% of target

Hans would never lay off anyone. He’s the cool guy in the skinny jeans that talks about how important people are. Don’t be naive. He cares about the big institutional investors and his $22m a year salary. I’m sorry for those let go and wish you all... — read more 

Consolidation on the retail and indirect channels continue. Move to Business - Consumer segmentation versus channels resulting in heavy cuts in the indirect channel internally and would expect continued agent consolidation.

Hello! I need to know how much base increase would be for a lateral move for band 6V?

I asked managers. I was assured not to worry.

Verizon is now laying off about 500 ppl. I'm one of them. My entire team was let go. Most of the layoffs are coming out of the California area due to the high cost of doing business there. Those useful California id–t legislators up in Sacramento are... — read more 

There was no home for the holidays. Nothing has changed. No VSP In sight. Be thankful for what you have.

Speaking of salaried employees. Your can get Leading Performing HR now calculates STI and bonus and pay increase. But let's say you got "Leading" rating, what does it buy you? +1% of base pay vs "Performing "?
