[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP about the amount of backstabbing and money waste of Fannie. It worked out for me financially until it didn’t. They love to hire a shiny new narcissist who makes long-term employees lives Hell but you stay because of the ridiculous bonuses and incredible health benefits. I know people there who are very unhappy, but Due to concerns with healthcare/pre-existing conditions and fannies very generous healthcare plan, feel stuck.[/quote]

And also the Severance and bonus you lose if you quit voluntarily. When I was there for 3 years only one person I worked with quit my level. 95 percent of people the ax swung so regularly it would hit you one day and you be perp walked out the door

Also the 8 percent 401K match is unheard of as they match it also on Bonus. Someone making 200K with a 100K bonus gets 24K match in 401K. And if you job hunted it was hard.

Lets say you make 200K and job hunt. Someone offers 10 perent raise that is only 220k. Maybe you can get if really lucky 20 percent raise to 240k. Then you get job offer to realize 401k match is only 4 percent, bonus is 1/3 what you used to get and medical is twice the monthly cost. They are paying so over market many people would have to take a 100k to 200K pay cut to leave to do same exact job elsewhere.   [/quote]

Pulte is about to swing that axe hard! [/quote]

Let’s hope. Too bad democrats are always asleep at the wheel.  They could have Les the charge to save money but would rather give it to urban elites.  They were locked in with Freddie management in 2010’s.  Obama and crew knew everything going on.

Before I realized what a backward company I was in at Freddie, I recommended a friend for an open position through my contracting company. This guy was/is a seasoned Java developer/applications architect who had been through high profile contracting gigs starting with MCI. He had a strong resume Verizon/AT&T/IBM consulting gigs, etc.

He was interviewed by the Indian director and three of his peeps. There was **no** cultural diversity in the interview panel who proceeded to pepper the candidate with the most obscure, irrelevant technical questions you can imagine, at a rapid non-stop pace. To his credit, my friend ended the 'interview' early and excused himself.

The director complained to my contracting company that they were sending him sub-standard candidates. Well, here's the 'breathtaking' part - the successful candidate was Indian, and he was the cousin of a member of the interviewing panel. He was technically weak and his written/spoken English skills were rudimentary.

But this guy was connected and although we were under whip-cracking deadlines by management, our new team member was given a free ride to float off to two hour lunches three or four times a week with his peeps.

There are talented IT pros out there that are US citizens that can't get a break and Freddie would bend over into impossible positions to make sure "H1B"  Visa candidates were treated royally. That's breathtaking.

So let me ask you this to understand whether the hard right is accurate on this portrayal--that substandard H1B candidates are being hired at substandard pay.  Is this true?  Or is this H1B candidate receiving the same inflated pay that we're reading on this thread?  That would be interesting to find out.  [/quote]
