Are rumors true?

For this round, of course.

Pixar Animation Studios, despite riding high on the success of summer blockbuster “Toy Story 5,” was hit particularly hard in a wave of companywide layoffs Tuesday at Disney.

I think the biggest surprise will be how many of the PL's everyone has been talking about on here are taking this themselves. I have gotten wind of names of people that have been approved and lots of VP's and Directors that have been around awhile are taking this as an opportunity to leave.

Something I had not considered.

Manika says we have to be on camera when we wfh.

Spectrum Reach Expands Operations in NY, Continuing to Represent Comcast and Optimum, and Providing Opportunities for Brands to Advertise in Nation's Top Media Market

Key Takeaways:

The move strengthens Spectrum Reach's ability to align operations and deliver enhanced multiscreen campaigns for advertisers seeking to reach consumers at scale in the New York market.
Bringing NYI's product portfolio into Spectrum Reach expands the capabilities, insights and local expertise available to brands and agencies in one of the most important advertising markets in the U.S.

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrum Reach, the advertising sales business of Spectrum, today announced the expansion of its advertising business to provide many of the products and services of New York Interconnect (NYI), which will cease operations on September 28, 2026. NYI is an advanced advertising joint venture that allows marketers to seamlessly purchase TV and digital ad space across multiple Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) in the New York Designated Market Area (DMA).

With this expansion, Spectrum Reach will streamline operations, reducing handoffs and backend execution steps for a more seamless advertising experience while bringing together its advanced advertising capabilities and scale with NYI's local market strength. The expansion will enable Spectrum Reach to be even better positioned to offer enhanced multiscreen solutions that make it easier for brands to reach the right audiences across the New York media market in the rapidly evolving TV ecosystem.

"We are further strengthening Spectrum Reach and New York Interconnect to create even more value for brands and agencies looking to connect with audiences at scale in New York," said Jason Brown, Executive Vice President, Spectrum Reach. "We are strengthening our market-leading capabilities, local insight and advanced advertising solutions to better serve our clients in one of the most dynamic and influential markets in the country."

In connection with this, later this year, certain members of the NYI team will join Spectrum Reach, creating one unified team focused on supporting advertisers, agencies and marketing partners with seamless service and more powerful media solutions, further positioning NYI's current advertising customers for the future, which is streaming and advanced advertising in addition to traditional TV advertising.

has anyone seen any info on whether our company will support pre-tax contributions to the new Trump Account, like up to $2,500 pre-tax, similar to a 401k? I haven’t seen any official communication from HR yet, so just wondering if anyone’s heard anything.

I am hearing all kinds of rumors about RMO layoffs but no official announcement. People are offline and meetings cancelled last minute. Anyone know what is going on?

This is a time where rumors say more than facts. HPE pushing people out the door?

So who's ready for the sh-t show TOWN HALL tomorrow. Anyone have any TEA to discuss? good luck everyone we usually see the storm the following week.

Hearing some rumors

the work you do is meaningless. This job is meaningless. They don’t care about you. Go find a better job. This company will never recover from this. They are programming you to endure this type of dystopian workplace nightmare don’t accept it. Run. Layoffs will continue. Org charts are still bloated.

You should not feel disrespected. You should be grateful and eager to work hard with a song in your heart!

This will be interesting.. anyone else see the email? Wondering if this new person will be any better

I’ll just leave this here for all who doubted what was coming…

annual performance evaluations are out

What is the purpose of the 3rd office day? He-l, hardly anybody does it and lots of other teams barely come in for the required 2 days & are still employed. They come in for a few hours, swipe badge and are out.

Any stores in Wisconsin affected

What are our marketing teams even doing? Millions of dollars were spent on cramming celebrities into an Ad that made no sense meanwhile adidas’ Ad was everywhere. We couldn’t escape it this World Cup. Who is signing off on these Ads? The London billboard debacle as well was embarrassing. It seems marketing has lost a step. All that effort just for two adidas teams to reach the final is fitting for how Nike’s turnaround has been going

:)

They don’t care about you xoxo

It has been a couple of weeks now. Where are the posts about Virtuals getting relocation letters? Have the few people who kept perpetuating these fabricated rumors every few days gone?

What weeks will be included in the Aug 2 WOE pull?

It is that time of the year again???

Weird for HealthNet to donate 4 million to a random housing complex in California when we are laying off people. You're actively making more potential homeless people.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

No kidding. These people laid off everyone in Portfolio then pushed their work to teams that have never heard of the product before. Literal people that support things like SiteScope now working Portfolio products with zero training on them. Just two people from my team took like 20 cases. We've been told we can just approve overtime for these cases but im not sure if even that is possible. Worst run company I have ever worked in, it was literally better when I worked at an outsourcing company.

Has anyone ever seen a demotion? My boss was demoted from AVP to Sr Director, I'm worried about my job.

Deals pushed. Numbers missed again.

Does anyone have legit intel on what locations will be included on the next round of office closures?

Larry made a bad bet on AI and will cost him his island and fortune.. His age clearly shows in his lack of judgment to put all eggs into one AI basket and will now be the poster child of the AI collapse. Laying off employees that were keeping the company afloat to adapt an unproven and premature AI approach that costs too much to run is a recipe for disaster. Oracle is now a sinking ship drowning in debt. It won’t be long before it becomes a $5 stock

For those that don't know, CUSA is surrounded by woods and open space. The area has lots of wildlife. Fox, geese, and others. All those working there have never had issues with this. Wildlife happens. Enter CFS. Decoy coyotes are now ALL OVER the parking lot and building. Being randomly and regularly moved by the new security guy that CFS apparently demanded we employ. CFS are soft, overly privileged, and clueless. I can't with them. I wonder if they know about the wildlife with no legs that get into the building or the 2 legged varieties that call the river bank "home".

Guess who would be the buyer of EviCore. Maybe UHC, or CVS?

I've not looked into the annual reports but do we know how this debt is doing given the company has never done so well on paper?

Anyone got any emergency meeting invite from the manager?

Dell is a sinking turrd of a company. Everybody knows it.

What is the company’s policy on mari--ana? Do they still test HQ employees?

This would make Verizon truly an AI-first company
