Business Outlook
Pros
Still fairly good benefits, although telecommuting has been cut back (why?) and pensions are being phased out
Cons
Forced brain drain in IT. Work is being moved to Charleston and other locations. The clear intent is to cut salaries by laying off level 4 and 5 employees (i.e., highly experienced) and replacing them with level 1s and 2s (fresh out of school). Management actually seems to believe a new hire with a "knowledge transfer" document can do the same work as a 30-year veteran - who's no longer around to answer questions. Union busting is also on the agenda. IT is pushing SPEEA-represented employees out the door as quickly as possible. And our millennials see what's happening and quickly depart for greener pastures.
