How many stores in IL are being transitioned to indirect?

What a drag. After all these years, I end up at Infosys. IT sure isn't what it used to be.

Any stores in Wisconsin affected

I spent two decades here. I showed up every day, I gave it my all, I went above and beyond, I never once had a complaint about my work. And what did that get me? Nothing. I'm out of a job and looking back, I realize I was just a number to them. All... — read more
