Fair
I really felt like weeping or beating somebody when I was told I had been laid off.
It was simply an unbelievable situation for me because I had always done my best to deserve the job I had. But there is no sense in management.... more...

New editor brings layoffs

Fair
Hi this is Andrew Hall. I have worked for BusinessWeek for 2 years and now my chances of still working here are minimizing since a new editor Josh Tyrangiel came and held the seat.

Volt is the worst company to work for. They don't know their heads from their arses and treat their employees like baboons. I would never work for such a suck as company as this. Please do your homework before taking on such a waste of your time.... more...

This place is a joke

1
Very Poor
This place laid off about 14 people back in June, and according to a source, "more are coming by '09 end." Amazing how almost everyone was over 40 and/or were the only woman on their respective teams. Funny that. It was basically, "Thanks, good bye." No severance even for those who worked there a long time, no notice of... more...
