I Miss Working Here - werkgeversreview Customer Service Representative bij Solid State Operations

Very cohesive, upbeat, talented team; great location, team building, truly agile work process.

Start-up with high risk and volatility

I loved working here but unfortunately I was laid off because they lost a contract. They did not determine layoffs based on merit but instead which managers like which employees best. They hired groups of new people in the last month, yet the people who were with SSO for 4-6 months on the project have no priority whatsoever. We were laid off after being told two weeks prior that we could keep our jobs. I kept trying to get a hold of my supervisor just to discuss the criteria that determined who kept and who lost their jobs, but she will not respond to me...awesome. I wasn't mad at her, I had just never been critiqued on my work or written up. So why me? This is a nice place to work for the money and the laid back style of working and being able to take time off whenever (unpaid). Otherwise, very little job security, company is bleeding out money like crazy when it was just starting to take off, and they will make you false promises and raise everyone's spirits for nothing. We were all preparing for layoff just to be told "guess what? you guys can keep your jobs" then in turn to be laid off two weeks later with no severance package or anything. I had been preparing for a layoff in August and got two other job offers. I was then told I could keep my job so I declined those offers, just to then been laid off. Thanks, SSO. I really appreciated it.

no job security, lies, poor management, only 3 days off given? really? cmon now
