Cogs and gears - Anonymous employee Optimum Employee Review

The pay has always been lower than standard, but they only hire where the market is low, so even the worst liar can keep a straight face and tell their employees they are paid competitively. The big push is always "do more with less," and this shows up in unexpected places. Do more by paying less: expected from a corporate setting. Do the same work to a better standard with half the necessary staff: mathematically not feasible. It's no wonder the new company has seen losses in the first two quarters since the merger had an IPO.
