<font color=blue>I find it appalling that people would find out about things on the Internet before hearing it from the company.</font color=blue>
My wifes company seems to have a real problem in this area. I can't decide whether it's a matter of them not caring, incompetance or just plain not understanding how things affect people. An example....my wifes company just aquired another. Yesterday she was told that the new people would have to sign something that includes a non compete clause....can't work for any compeditors for a matter of time...I think 1 year. So she asks them when they would receive their offer letter. They weren't planning on issueing offer letters. So, they actually expect people to sign a letter on agreement without knowing exactly what their salary and position will be in the new structure.....CLUELESS/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Unfortunately, it seems to be the rule rather than the exception.
Also, during their recent layoffs and work cutbacks, she thought the upper management, herself included, should also cut back their hours to help save some cash in the short term and to show that they're all in this together. Corporate told them they couldn't do that. I guess they think it's much more motivating to tell the underlings that they don't need their whole check as long as it doesn't affect the upper management. Anyways...I babble! FRUSTRATED!
