Connect Layoffs Today

Both Tampa and Chicago are closed down. The connect phone numbers are now disconnected. I went by the Tampa site where I was working at and everything is being moved out. There are trucks there now loading up the desks, etc. I talked to one of the movers in the parking lot and the space has allready been leased out to someone else. Our name has been taken down off the directory by the elevator. That was quick.

I imagine that the same is going on at the abandoned Target store site in Chicago.

While I was working at connect I heard so many stories about how staff was assaulted, robbed, and their cars all stolen at that Chicago site. It was in the south side of Chicago in a getto area where there were lots of gangs. At least in Tampa we were in a nice .modern building with windows. We had palm trees in the parking lot. That abandoned windowless Target store in that getto hood neighborhood must have been depressing!.

Well I guess this chapter of my work life is over.

HAHAHH. "getto area where there are lots of gangs". How typical of my Pfizer colleagues.
 






Clearly you have no clue. Do you even work here? The Illinois site was in Lake Forest,one of the most affluent suburbs of Chicago, nowhere near the south side of the city. And the building is still open!
 






Can someone that’s not a troll actually tell me what the deal is with the Pfizer facility in Chicago I used to work at the Lake Forest campus for many years and when I left Pfizer I heard about a call center on the south side on 87th Street in the Chatham neighborhood that was supposed to be where the Discover credit card company built a office that ended up being leased by Pfizer. Can anyone actually confirm if Pfizer ever occupied that space?

What a disaster of an experiment. Who ever thought entry level phone dialers were going to get access to decision makers and influence scripts?

This “experiment” should be a business school case study, or a class, titled “Arroagance and Ignorance in the Corporate World.” Senior Leaders were looking for ZERO feedback from the field on how this would play out. I’m actually surprised that they pulled the plug this quickly.
