    I find it somewhat odd that Principal wants the buildings full of employees but then shifts thousands of jobs overseas in the past couple of years.

    Sounds like some job cuts for some people in the printing facility at principal. Outsourcing seems to be the trend at PFG.

    Don't they normally only show those at the end? What I don't like is that only a small percentage at the company are impacted by RTO, so of course a large percentage are happy with their WFH arrangements.

    They just took a poll at Principal, where 5,000+ voted on 9 questions. Some of those 5000 have to come into the office, some don't.

    Well sexual harassment is the last thing I worry about at Principal IT. Most of our staff get anxiety from running into a co-worker in the skywalk. Eye contact is considered 3rd base to most of these butterfly's.

    It kind of reminds me of the place in Des Moines that always portrayed itself as fun place to work. "We have a free keg on Friday night" "We order in free pizza". Listen *****, I have no urge to be working at 7pm on a Friday night for free Michelob Ultra. I think this may have been Business...
