Essay21 2,385 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I dont know if we are in the toilet, this is a major realignment of our division, with obvious long term plans to reduce the work force by combining us with our sister company. So at least half the people here will be let go eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZuma 585 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well in our case it's less about short term profits and more about the company losing 1.2 billion dollars in the 2nd two quarters of last year. Link to post Share on other sites

ShakeZuma 585 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Who knows. I've been told I should be safe but I'm pretty sure we're all screwed in the long run. Company is just not looking good at all right now. Finally time to move to a real city maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 it's just so helpful when moving up isn't contingent on multiple people leaving also free company stock that grows at 30%/year is nice too Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I don't understand what planet you live on where an oil change can be $20. I realize I drive a hoss, but still Every quick oil change place around me is 19.99 for up to 5 quarts. A 5 quart jug of oil is about 15 to 18 bucks at an auto parts store, so it doesnt make a ton of sense to do it yourself anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 tons of hiring without increasing productivity is a concern. everything else looks pretty golden right now. so this ridiculously high up executive at a major company is a client at my firm. long story short, the guy who was mostly handling the relationship tried to bullshit the exec on something, and the exec saw through it and got really angry. we also made 1-2 other mistakes in handling his stuff, which has basically all but burned bridges. so the CEO shows up at my office and says, "OK, this one is now yours. don't feel like it's your fault if they if they fire us. I'm giving them your extension." over/under is like, two phone calls before we get fired on my watch. I'm a hero if they stay with us, though... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Frau, how is it you avoid driving? Mass transit or do you live close to where you work? I thought a car was imperative for LA. What about these events you go to at night? I live close and take mass transit. For the night events either I drive, or if I think I'll be drinking more than two, I take an uber. 99% of the events are close enough to where I work or live to do this easily and affordably. I have dedicated parking at home, and can easily leave my car at my workplace overnight. Text from my friend in chicago who works for the company too: Everyone thinks they will be fired after that call. This place is fvcked. He is leaving in a month for a new job anyways, so he doesnt care, but he told me to get out while i can. Serious. Let's get you on an entrepreneurial path. I think I'd like you to be a slum lord. Best way to make short term profits: trim the overhead. You saying "trim" is just always going to sound dirty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
