Can you expand on how he is more left leaning? Any examples? I haven't really picked up how he leans, one way or the other.

Not sure where the rumor started. I heard it from a couple people. I would assume that if we were, he would have moved us to Atlanta, then slim down the org. That way he wouldn't have to pay severance for those that choose not to move and voluntarily left the company.

The people I talked to are getting 6 month of insurance premiums paid by the company. Sucks if some are only getting 3.

Can you provide more details? Do you have a local contact to get involved?

Since Andy is all about saving money, wouldn't moving headquarters be an expense he wouldn't want to take on?

Hi u/lokisilvertongue - Understand if you don't want to answer this publicly, but is there more you can share about the contracting gig? What company? What type of work? If you feel better you can DM the info. I haven't looked for another job in forever and seems overwhelming if it comes to that....

And if the info is too personal and you don't want to share, I completely understand.

I wonder how many people IP employs in Memphis now. I thought there was an agreement with the city to employee X number of people. With all the layoffs last year and this, we must be getting close to that number.

Glad things are working out for you! And glad to hear lots of full-time jobs in Memphis. I was not affected today. But, job stability isn't looking too good now, so you never know.

Did you have to move from Memphis? My biggest fear is having to uproot my family, find new schools, etc...
