With the holiday's quickly approaching, 3299 has decided to consolidate its Loss Control department to the group office in Carson. This will result in about 75 dedicated ERAC employees being "forced out" of their jobs effective January 1st. In the interest of "fairness" ERAC will be giving Loss Control employees the opportunity to interview for the very limited number of positions available in the new department. If an employee is not selected for one of these spots, they will be given the opportunity to "pursue other endeavors." Though I am not a Loss Control employee my sympathy goes out to those who are about to be screwed by ERAC during the holiday season.

I've been posting pro-ERAC messages on this site for years but this development has convinced me that GP32 management has completely lost sight of the ERAC mission statement. Morale in the entire group is terrible and most employees have a complete lack of confidence in the ability of upper management to do anything to fix the problem. I seriously doubt that the suffering that this would cause the families of those 75 employees even crossed the mind of those at GP32 that made this decision.

I am now sad and ashamed to work for ERAC. I'd like to look for another job, but ERAC makes it exceptionally difficult to search for a job while you are employed with them. HR searches major employment websites for current employees and reports them to management if their resumes are discovered online. I have seen many fellow employees "decide to leave" on the very same day their resume is posted. If they decide to stay they face daily harassment and punishment by management until their resume is taken down or they quit. I'm not sure if this goes on in other groups, but it is extremely common in GP32.

I propose a new GP32 Mission Statement:

Take care of the upper managers. Screw the common employees. Raises and promotions will follow.
