Solstas IT

Any Solstas IT Survivors?

 

Not sure who survives but they sure kept the lifeboats in working order for the last few years.

 

The name of the guy manning the lifeboat is Pi and there's a tiger on board. Good luck.

 

Well - It certainly isn't Moses. He can't lead his people anywhere, let alone through a sea.

Few will survive the ice waters of Quest.

 

Too few in IT took the time to own their performance, thus the decimation of that area. Our shining stars take a back seat to no one, but those who can't keep up have to be left behind. In the end, it's really the kindest thing we can do for them.

Bless them all, each and every one.

 

Your shining stars are dimly lit.

 

Hilarious...I'm sure you will keep your unemployment caseworker in stitches.

 

Oh Brother. Your shining stars are not stars at all, but comet fodder that float aimlessly around the Lab universe hoping to find a place they can demonstrate their lack of sales integrity sucking, F&$#ing, or otherwise selling their soul (or invoking "special pricing" that never turns in actual revenue for the company) just to say they booked a "sale"?

If you are the pathetic loser manager of these poor saps, then they truly have what they deserve. The "Oh brother" owning your performance laughing stock who likes to tout your office location and asking people to come see you. In fact, you are a wretched little man who has become a cyber-bully that believes by pointing out other people's flaws makes you so much better. In fact, the opposite is true. You were not loved in school, mommy and daddy sent you away to college hoping you would make something of yourself, but you have not amounted to anything. Look up Mel Brook's "History of the world part 1" and realize you are the piss boy. It's time for you to wait for the shake....now go fetch that coin.

You've been owned, son.

 

Nice try, Junior.

I still have a job in this great new organization, and as soon as I am done with reduction in force measures, I will have a nice, relaxing vacation before I lead our shining stars onto even greater heights.

I hope you find a new job quickly. I've heard that it's a tough market out there. Better be prepared to give a little more and receive a little less.

 

Please stop taking the Happy Pills! You are going to over dose! You will lead nobody pin head! Even if you are asked to stay, we will be nothing more then a second rate employee. Remember you need a Plan B

 

IT Survivors? Heck -- just look at the people receiving promotions. There are new directors, supervisors, managers. Heck, there is an EA that has a manager title now. Go figure? Wait -- could this be so they will receive a better package when the cuts come?

 

You're talking well above your pay grade, Junior. You'd do far better to own your performance and carve yourself a niche in our great new organization.

While you don't have the talent, work ethic, or, quite frankly, the looks, to be among our shining stars, you do have an opportunity to be somewhat useful, if you will but listen and learn. The best way to do that, son, is to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.

 

Please keep in mind, your knowledge of old Seinfeld shows won't help you at Quest. Yes they may keep you around to laugh at you for awhile and then you will be gone. Can't wait until the Quest higher ups start walking around in Greensboro. It won't be long until one of them asked you to step out of your office so they can use your phone.....it will happen ....mark my words you fool!

 

At the bottom of the totem pole at Solstas as a Specimen Processor I'm interested in all y'all's thoughts of what percent of us you believe will be allowed to make the transition to Quest. Do you believe full time versus part time status will be a factor? I'm guessing temporary status employees will be history.

 

The Greensboro lab is the only one with any chance of a stable job. All other labs that have not already been downsized will be. So if you work in Greensboro you have a good chance to be safe. Other labs have even less certainty.

 

But if you are in IT, say good bye. Outsourcing is the name of the game here at Quest. Directors, EAs, and other non-essentials are the first to go. If you do not have the correct employee to manager ratio - buh-bye. Six Sigma is the order of the day and you are far from efficient. Just enough people to keep the lights on and transactions flowing.

 

So what happen to everyone in IT...?
