Multiply that answer by 70,000 employees.

In my neck of the world we lost a lot of really smart people. And the ones who stayed seem to indicate that yeah it was an IQ test.

Totally get your point regarding smart motivated people. Snarkiness aside, for the folks near retirment age, it would have been extremeely hard to find a logical reason to not take the deal.

Here's a tip - this USB-C adapter - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 allows me to connect our new iPad Pro (M1) to a TV via HDMI for watching CQ videos, e-brief videos, or other streaming video on a big screen. Worked for Netflix or HBO Max when I tried those out. ;-) It showed the iPad screen in 1080, but when I watched a 4k Netflix show it switched to 4k.
Either use your own HDMI cable, or there is another Anker one available on Amazon that has a cable as part of it, I haven't tried it out but looks the same https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Adapter...cs%2C96&sr=1-1
From knowledge of buying other iPad accessories, cheaper, no-name ones have a tendency to not work after an update or two to the iPad - I'd pay the few extra $$ and I'd stick with the Anker.

I know by law the company has to post W2s by Jan 31st. But with the IRS opening up filings starting tomorrow, what are the chances the company posts W2s by tomorrow?
