If we played a drinking game every time they say AI everyone would be drunk before lunch time. These people are so out of touch.

Communication theoretically begins today - what is the word?

According to an email sent in December. They were set to talk this month. Did they? Are they still? I don't understand why the complete silence all the time by the company and the union. I can see why they wouldn't give specific details while negotiating but they could at least give us the most general description of the current situation, right?

Thought this was only for project managers?

So we here in the colonies have lost pretty much our entire schools publishing and content team. The rationale is that global content can be mediated to local curriculum requirements. This is patently untrue. The ANZ market for secondary school material is seriously insular, and anything that is not created by local writers will be looked on as second rate nonsense. They are moving us to the Pearson model, which as anyone who knows our market will attest is doomed to failure.
The best bit of this though is the fact that we only found out about this via a: people who had already been dumped but still had relationships with those canned and b: the actual email that went out was addressed only to the team who were mostly already being canned. There has been no messaging to the rest of the ANZ team despite us working closely with most of those involved over many years.
Gold standard in intercompany comms.

Apparently there have been some talking points given to managers to help soften the news of no raises this year for higher end earners, specifically in risk. Can someone post those talking points? I want to know what is bs and what is genuine from my manager. Thank you.

Rachael Clark told her group a few weeks ago that the bank is letting MN folks work from home until January 30, but she expected that to be extended. Has anyone heard if that has changed?

There was no communication to local employees regarding this snowstorm. The only email notification we got was an email that I saw this morning when I logged in. Why would they send an email to our work address when we’re not logged on during the weekend…. makes no sense.

Is the latest round over or is it just getting started? With no officials numbers on how many were cut so far, it's hard to tell.

Are we going to be getting official memo saying how many were laid off ??

So, where are all the letters that they talked about for the rest of the employees that did not get any 2 weeks ago....???? They were supposed to come out today 1/23/26.......

“I recognize the weight of this news, particularly as it follows the organizational changes we made last year,” Anagnost wrote. “I want to be clear that this will not become an annual process at Autodesk and these changes are not driven by the external environment or an effort to replace people with AI.”

Microsoft‘s communications chief did something unusual this month. He publicly shot down layoff rumors before they could metastasize. When anonymous posts on Reddit and Blind claimed the company planned to cut up to 22,000 jobs in January, Frank Shaw took to X with an unequivocal response, calling the reports “100 percent made up/speculative/wrong.”

G confirmed at the town hall that big RIF is weeks away. He called out management and underperformers but said cuts will come from everywhere. He also said there will more in the future but not every third thursday like employees have been used to.

Did the company communicate WFH for this week for Minnesota? In the office today and there it’s a ghost town

No pigeonhole this All Hands call she wants us to email questions directly to a mailbox so she doesn’t get harsh questions.

I’ve been an employee of Optum for quite some time. I was recently contacted by a journalist who would like to ask me some questions about how the organization works and my personal experiences. Think I should talk to him?

How do they communicate the severance agreement? Personal email or what? I know my coworker was laid off in November and lost immediate access to computer. So how do they communicate the info?

I have thought about this. If I get the layoff call, I will not be speaking on the call, I will type in the chat only. I am not giving them that final satisfaction of hearing my voice ever again or any of my emotions.

Please keep this thread alive by sharing any updates or new information. Let’s keep each other updated.

In this week's episode, legacy FT staff are still applying for their old jobs at FT. Making it to an interview is impressive enough since no one knows what criteria is being used. If one actually does interview, it is with colleagues fresh off the FIS boat, well known to them. Awkward interview ensues. One is then treated to radio silence. It is essential to keep legacy FT staff on the phones at FIS to answer Retirement calls through the end of Peak Season. It would further appear that FT believes that putting interviewees in a holding pattern until the end without advising them of same is just fine. The bitter end is close enough for the remaining staff to be able to smell the severance. All the while FIS is furiously sending out emails pleading for volunteers for overtime. Imagine the fights Andy Cohen will have to navigate while filming the Reunion?

i dont know bout you all we looking forward to
Tomorrows clendenim all hands meeting

hard to believe any of these ppl graduated college

text above is obv bad grammar to avoid detect with the machine learning algoz

What happened to it’s nice to see your faces? Or is there some news that is easier to give when you are not in an auditorium?

Perhaps addressing the rumors by confirming or discounting them would allay fears.

By this point we’re usually given at least a target or some directional guidance. Instead, nothing. Total silence. That’s not an accident, it’s deliberate. When leadership stops communicating, it’s usually because the message would land badly. Something’s clearly being set up behind the scenes, and employees are the ones being left in the dark yet again.

I thought yesterday was it but I think today is ICs turn. Have a 10 min call with my director titled “org changes”.

Any word on back office teams in Consumer Group like Frontline Insights or Systems? East Coast here but no “Org Update” on my calendar yet!

If 5 days are coming in. When will it be communicated

Project January 2026

anyone think there will be big cuts in marketing in HQ? Anyone hear anything?

It’s been quiet today. The the axe fall on the Southeast ADs? And before somebody says it, my stupidvisor doesn’t know!

Yall think it's a coincidence the ULB is not updated ?

I know there’s a lot of noise with the outage but anybody catch that last call where Liane Lanier was selling us on indirect locations?

Did anyone else leave yesterday’s East call feeling patronized and frustrated? It felt less like a strategic update and more like an attempt to gaslight the entire organization into believing agent locations are outperforming corporate stores.
We are being fed "metrics" that supposedly show agent stores winning in customer experience, yet those of us on the ground know the reality doesn't match the slides. If this move is strictly a cost-cutting measure, then have the professional courage to say that. Instead, we got "glamorous" hosting, skits, and tired slogans while our actual reality is being ignored.
The most insulting part? While leadership plays around with "hustle" acronyms, those same "devoted" agents are already telling our teams which corporate stores they’ll be taking over in the coming months.
We are out here working our hardest for this company, but it’s impossible to have "heart" for a leadership team that chooses performances and made-up metrics over transparency and respect. The act is getting old. It’s time to stop the show and start paying attention to what your teams are actually going through.

We all know T-Mobile is a huge company (though not as big today as it was yesterday) with tons of orgs and divisions that most of us don't even know about unless they're our own.

As someone who's refreshing this page constantly, CAN WE SPELL OUT THE ACRONYMS? I don't know what this alphabet soup means!

And before someone says "well if you don't know then it doesn't impact you" THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

In the absence of leadership or clarity, human beings will fill the vacuum with the first explanation that comes to hand …… Why don’t the EC and the SLT realise this (apart from the obvious fact they are d-mb and don’t care)

Anyone know what was said?

AT&T literally:
sells connectivity
sells remote access
sells cloud voice
sells VPNs
sells mobile data
sells collaboration tools
…while forcing its own people to drive 2 hours a day to sit on Teams calls in an open space with no assigned seating.

Add Stank - a tired, clueless, utility salesman, now targeting and trolling Tmobiles LinkedIn, begging for customers.

Add a stock thats dropping from 28 to now down to 23, it will keep going down.

Could you be more pathetic?

Seriously, GN&T employees, you need to pay better attention to what dear leader is saying!

Just got a message from my manager. Communication coming tonight to work from home Thursday and Friday this week org change communication coming next 2 days. SLED

Randomly heard recently that IT had a trip with a contractor to (of all places) Fiji to try and find some more low cost resources. Did any of y’all get invited to that trip?

Some quick Google searches show that it’s about 1/3 Cost of Living (COL) compared to Charlotte, so that’s somewhat understandable. But considering the time zone differences with all the other sites, how the heck are we supposed to have team meetings? Or is it only connection via email with no chance of getting global meeting's with existing teams in US / Europe / India.
