Only 5 days right?

I think they will award the 350As and that's it. Choosing not to award all bids. The mess has gotten so bad they will leak the "would have been results" and rebid almost everything with a clean up in about a month. Craziness happening with the awards is the rumor.

Which mess? Waterfall effect?

Yes, and juniors getting bids they will not hold after 365 with more displacements off the 88. They could be displaced multiple times meaning extra training cycles or extra pay for those bypassed.

I doubt they are even looking at it over the weekend.

Such a move would be effing BS. I accurately predicted the training fiasco (which our favorite unnamed user claimed would be no problem at all) but a do-over is most certainly NOT what I predicted.

This post is assuming there is truth to these rumors I've been reading here today, other than this site I'm 100% off all other forms of social media.

EDIT: and for the record, I had a couple categories where I was willing to MD but I wanted to disincentivize the company from MDing me so I picked one that would require a full training course. Obviously not my only or even most important reason but it was definitely part of the equation. No idea if that had any effect at all but I'll claim a small victory if I don't get bumped .
The forum has predicted a training crash every year since 2009. Maybe someday the forum will be right!

Good timing. I opted to delete since I didn't like the tone of the post. Apparently not fast enough.

Such is social media. Even if you only go to one place. 😊

I also only come here any more because it’s the only one that’s properly moderated. Except when one of the moderators gets mad. 😊

It's not a big deal, I stand by the content of what I said. I just didn't like how I was patting myself on the back.

They started the runs on Friday with plans to work over the weekend. They want to release the results on Tuesday. Lots of eyes on the 4th floor watching the results as they plan out hiring numbers for the fall or after Jan 1.

I have. It heard of them pulling the AE to rebid it. Honestly I am not sure how that would help. They are going to have churn no matter what. However I have no inside knowledge so that is just my guess
