Widespread rumors of impending Genzyme layoffs. No info on the possible scale. Anything to improve our valuation ahead of a Sanofi takeover will please the activist investors and their puppets in top management. What a sad way for a once great company to meet its end. ... more...

I joined 3 months back and got very good recognition on my first month work. I tried to do some advancements, avoid duplication of work and professional environment. In that regard, I contacted my boss and the very next week, I got laid off with no proper reason for the termination. The same thing happened to other person whom I replaced his positi... more...

Capital One is a large bank. They hire and fire in cycles. It's cheaper for them. Don't let you get too high up the payscale.
I was in a dept of about 350 people when they called everyone in one day, even if you had the day off. They hearded us down to a main room, with our names on rosters in back of room. Told us to find our names, then h... more...

Pay is not fairly representitive of competition, some of the benefits are slightly less than competitors, but some benefits are better. Senior Management looks at employees as costs and liabilities and not assets.

I got an offer with another team with essentially no oncall rotation and whose work I really admired. I didn't take it.
I would say that many of the employees have a very limited amount of overall retail knowledge.

Benefits have been drastically cut in the last few months as a way to reduce costs. This includes a loss of 401k ma... more...
