Weyerhaeuser reviews

Changes in benefits - medical, pension, 401K. I can understand cutting back on these types of things as times are currently tough. It was recently announced, however, that these changes would be permanent as (if) the company starts growing again. This company has never been fiscally responsible. When the have money, they spend it stupidly and when times are tough, the workers bear the brunt of the burden to save money (i.e. layoffs, reduction in benefits, training, etc). Outsourcing - Weyco has given away their best resource; Intellectual Property. They have outsourced most of the tribal knowledge and now are left with most of the people that can't get jobs anywhere else or folks that are too new to the company to know what the culture/process. I could go on and on...but what is the point.

With the current environment, benefits aren't what they were (but are still decent I suppose), the direction of IT management is pretty frightening when speculating about succession plans, and when the company starts picking up again, there aren't going to be any knowledgeable people left to help support that growth cycle.
