Hello Folks, this is the Troll

Hello Folks, this is the Troll. I will be enlightening you in the coming weeks on this blog as to the way of the world in S. First thing to know is that upper management and BOD at S are cowards. How many of the employees out there are being told about what a great job you're doing? Well, if all doing such a great job, then management must really be screwing up. But who do they fire when the going gets tough? You the employee. Sure, they'll let go of a vp here and there as a show of unity. But look at the tenure of the VPs and Directors. They've been around FOREVER. And most are DUMB! and get paid a lot of money for being dumb. Has anyone looked at S severence policy lately? When a Director or VP get let go, they get 80% of their STI target. Plus, VP's get one year of their fat salaries on top of that. Trust me, they aint the one's taking the hit. Also, it's unfortunate the debate on this board on foreign labor seems to have a xenophobic tinge to it; however, there is some validity to the argument that S has acted irresponsibily and perhaps fraudulantly in it's hiring practices. In the last 3 years, according to Dept of Labor stats, S has applied for 1150 H1B visas at a time when the company has been in distress and laying off workers. Although perhaps not illegal per the letter of the law, it sure does violate the spirit of the law and the intent of the H1B visa program. I will write more on this later with possible remedies, i.e class action. In the meantime, just know that upper management doesn't give a rats behind about you the worker. Yes, they will tell you what a good job you're doing and about how much they care about you. They have to. But in the end it's you they will throw under the bus as only a coward can do. the Troll
