Everyone left Waterstone Mortgage and came to Panorama Mortgage. Novus bought out Panorama Mortgage, I stayed because I trusted them and believed in the company. I was laid off. I was then re-hired back after a few weeks. THEN Novus joined with Ixonia Bank, and more layoffs started and I was the first to go. If you didn't have "Waterstone" on your resume, you were laid off. They kept there little groups together, even if that meant laying off someone who worked hard and showed up and keeping someone who couldn't figure out how to turn her power strip on (more than once), would call in weekly, and was constantly doing whatever they wanted besides their job. If you don't fit in, you will never grow.
