[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	ow many years had you been with the company? 24 years
[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	What location were you in? Kansas City
[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	Was it a complete surprise, or were there warning signs? No surprise. My manager was an incompetent jack a-s. We knew he would sign up to lay off people to make him look good.
[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	Were you placed on a PIP beforehand, or was it unexpected? No. I was a top performer
[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	Were you notified by email, or in a 1:1 meeting? Saw in the press then got a phone call the next day.

[03:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	Had a good run, couldve left on good terms but they had to drag me through an unnecessary LP rating, PIP and RA. Enjoyed most of my time there, valued the many years of experience and mutual investment but it was all soured by the last few months of corporate scale gas lighting. Its really Shameful.
