Once buttoned up. He can return to what he enjoys most, cutting waste. It is going to be a long and difficult year with this guy on the loose.

Why are posts about the post it lady getting deleted. What policy are they violating? What is JOMO anyways?!?!?

Any details on which orgs/regions might be hit?

Does anyone know what the 1/2 hr. fireside chat with Dan Schulman on the 24th is all about?

Is Dan preparing and trimming the org to sell it to the highest bidder? Any takers ?

We basically work for the mafia.

Feels like a slap in the face. I am a fresh graduate with less than two years of experience and Dan feels so nice to set up a fund to "reskill" me. Guess it's my fault for not having the same corporate nepotism as those on the board.

Don’t fall for the “A”hole who keeps posting cr-p about pre and post 2008 hires. Like an arms dealer selling to both sides. DON’T FALL FOR IT!

At this point I've heard fifty different versions about what's coming.
