> Communications with former staff are sketchy at best right now. We don't have a good method, but we are trying to get out regular mail to everyone as best we can. Anyone who has called in has been told of the situation. Basically BOK opted not to fund the final payroll. We negotiated with them to fund it once the wind down crew had managed to reach a certain collections milestone. That's why the wind down team is working as diligently with the clients as we can to get them paid up and their data transferred. Its to all our staffs' benefit for us to do this and as quickly as possible.>> ADP then completely screwed things up last week by actually making deposits into some, if not all, employees direct deposit accounts, using their own money, and ignoring our instructions (read that as BOK) not to do so as BOK would not honor the draw from ADP after the fact. Once ADP woke up and started paying attention, they then started scrambling and making withdrawls of the funds deposited from some, perhaps not all, accounts. It has caused an incredible confusion and I know it looks like to the staff that we are jerking them around. But that is not what is going on. Between BOK putting the bank first and employees second, then ADP further confusing things, it has been a circus around here as we try to get all the various parties in alignment.>> Frankly, the best thing for all former employees at this time is to be patient and let us focus our time and efforts on collections. The sooner we hit our milestone, the sooner BOK will fund the payroll and everyone can rest easier. We made a lot of progress last week, better than either John or I thought possible. And this week we will chew up another big batch of client collections, but it is complicated and time consuming and the bank will not release any client data until that client account is entirely collected, as cash is in BOK's hot little hands.>> If you can get to these chain emails, or blogs or whatever they are, and let everyone know what has happened and what we are doing about it, that would be a big help.>> Thanks bunches,> Bob
