The O3-bers that I new during my stint there are leaving. The die hards who have been there for more than 2 to 3 years are people who I think have a 80% chance of devoting their lives to the company.
I saw a recent statistic of a company of more than 700 employees who could boast a turnover of less than 0.6%! That's like less than 10 persons... If we want to place a turnover statistic on O3...I'd say its closer to 300%? You see, in O3, the person who replaces the person who replaces the person usually leaves or gets fired within 3 months. The estimate is that an average of 3 people change over the job posting before a so-called "stable" individual stays on for 1 year. (For certain jobs, i've seen at least 6 people come and go.)
Sadly, I sure hope that what this O3 company is doing is not considered job creation! Otherwise, the job market will look like there's 300 posts for what is actually only 100 jobs available. I also find it awful that the job opportunities section of the O3 company's website is permanently unchanging in the posts available. How's that for job security...? You've been hired, but the posting is left there...just-in-case.

1-week: i never noticed the career section of o3's website. it is hilarious! o3 is hiring for 90-96% of the positions within the company, except those belonging to Uberbaus, Superbitch, Mini and o3's favourite employee. hur hur hur.
When I started out at the O3, I applied through an ad in Recruit. It then progressed to JobsDB. I believe cos it's cheaper. One thing the Uberbaus does is he will hire loads, and drill them for weeks and keep the surviving ones, IF any survive! I've seen at least 20 if not 30 ppl pass through the R&D throughout my time in the O3. They leave at a rate so fast, I did not even bother to ask their names cos I know they will be gone in a week's time, if not less, even though they sit just opposite me!
