Tuesdays and Thursdays are the traditional days.

I and 13 other men (all men) got a Monday morning 1-on-1 meeting notice pop up on the Friday afternoon before Fathers Day, so the (female) President could fire us all and install her lady friends. Nice touch, Celine.

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
