They pass on other work task and don't give you anything in the process. They are for self here. From Board members across, and Hr down to VPs, supervisor and leaders. Don't care about the employees. T Sorry place and management. The insurance ain't about 💩.it goes up every year.alone with the 12 days to get sick and take vacation to . They don't care about the people that making them these fortune 500business.but what heck they still get millions in bonuses at the end of the day.
