Harris Interactive – “HPOL will not be around as an independant company in 2 years from now.”

Pros

They didn't downsize me, like they have with 25%+ of the rest of the US workforce

Cons

They have suspended the company match on the 401k. The health care costs (bi-weekly premiums employees pay to simply have health insurance) are advancing at a much faster pace than the annual raises. Therefore, when you combine basic inflation, plus insurance costs, it's like we're taking a pay cut every October when we get our "raises" (when the raises aren't even matching inflation rates to begin with).

Advice to Senior Management

Stop firing the Indians, and start firing the Chiefs.
