Incredible, Disney and Nuance must be run - by the same people

It really shows that corporations are only interested in making their money for higher management, and they really do not care who they step on to get it. Appalling, but it shows we are not alone in this problem. Maybe the NYT should see what is happening here at Nuance. The only difference is Nuance is not flying the people in.

Any MTSO or other company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, unless you're in high management, you are just food for them. They will chew you up and spit you out when they're done with you. Nuance is finished now with the MTs and QCs, so POCs and TLs, you're up next. Just remember how you sold us out to keep your jobs, since it will be coming back around. Company Karma.

And this company's Karma will hit hard. - busymt
