Not excited about Zayo. Its really a mismanaged company overall. At least Crown had somewhat of an idea. But Zayo has no clue. We have good people from Fibertech still on board. Zayo just needs to let us take charge. But who knows, knowing Zayo, they will lay us all off.

Only time will tell, but no one has a good feeling about Zayo

What can we expect

Prediction: An executive posts from the World Cup. “The energy here is unreal — this is why in-person matters.” Forty-eight hours later, a calendar invite lands on a teammate’s screen. HR. No agenda. The post has 347 likes and counting.

Please stop doing layoff. We are only 80k employees which is very less then your competitor. Still you continue doing layoff . Not even a single employee is happy over here. Please make your existing employee happy.

Can this be true?

Won’t be long now. This has to be the beginning of the end.

That tells you a lot about the 'executive' ability of the lineup that steers this ship.

Hey Guys!

Anyone from Asset Management department in US affected by the layoffs? Really hope that the impact there is minimal or hopefully non existent.

What's going on in Finance?

Starbucks announced another round of corporate layoffs. The company will cut 300 U.S. jobs. It also plans to shutter some regional support offices. These actions are part of its ongoing turnaround strategy. The moves will result in $400 million in restructuring charges.

No one here knows when a lay off is going to happen. There might be 4 people maximum that know prior to VPs getting a heads up day of

everyone should reflect on their personal contributions and what theyre bringing to the table Respected efficient top contributors aren’t on here getting scared or fear mongering - so reflect on where you fall and make the case for staying

To the trolls: unless you have founded proof - stop ruining people’s days. You’re literally
Making this worse for everyone.

~89,900 total headcount. Seems like DAN need only one person to do all the operation ( Dan - 89,900 ) = DAN so Dan single handlely will work for Verizon and will make customer focused company by being bold. 🌅🌄

Top of the leaderboard again. Year after year:

What equipment do we return upon resignation? I assume just laptop and charger, but if there are other things, please let me know.

How much does the company pay in severance when there's a separation in employment? Also, do we have to sign a non compete agreement?

Thanks for sitting down with the Houston Business Journal, M@rk. Another example of time away from the office to manage your image while the CEOs at MPC and VLO are in the office leading.

And “responding to what the world needs” is an example of M@rk overestimating the company he is supposed to be leading. Phillips contributes, sure, but the tone shows arrogance and lack of awareness of the real scope of this domestic mid con business. At the moment, all supplying the world has done is ki-l earnings and increase volatility and led to MASSIVE underperformance vs peers

VTP?? It's not to be.....
Cause AT&T is here to stay.....
All the way.....

Amongst all the doom and gloom I think leadership has finally started to talk about doing the basics right. 10 years wasted on trying to be a tech company and now that tech is ubiquitous thanks to AI, the leadership can finally focus on building decent cars again. Here's to hoping for better years after demise of phony leaders 🙏

So is it still happening on Monday ?

Somebody posted under the Gas Prices thread that a memo went out regarding a change in the WFH schedule for Burlington due to insufficient parking for CFS employees. I did not get this message. Can anybody confirm this? What is the change and when does it start?

There are no layoffs today. Whatever news is going around is just a rumor.

might as well say what we all know. each day is like watching a trainwreck even latest clueless strat team knows emrs poor planning and short staffed centers wont work. investors coming to collect in 2027 the worst for patients and staff is coming. referrals to a handful of places no lcsws and demotions for all the poor staff left holding the po-p bag. playbooks trainings and daily new workflows wont stop the terrible reputation centerH$ll now has. psa: riffing people then posting their jobs that week is trash.

Multiple positions currently open at Paramount are listed as fully remote. What's the deal? Are these teams that have always been remote/have been grand-fathered in to stay this way?

Byron Allen recently discussed layoffs within his media division. He described these workforce reductions as "thoughtful" and "humane." Allen attributed the changes to shifts in the broader media business. He stated the economy improved, offering new jobs for those let go. Allen Media Group also sold several local TV stations last year.

We are thriving, hiring abd returning to growth

No more layoffs. Just extra people to deal with the new business

I was LR‘ed early 2024.. and today I am happy it happened then and not now. Cisco does, like most US companies, not care about employees and are unable to do a proper AOP planning - at cost of the lives of tousands of mother and fathers who have to provide to their families. I hope Karma will one day catch ELT and greedy investors like Blackrock. I am now on a better place where they hire more carefuly.

Interesting wasn’t expecting that. Indications were BAE insourcing a lot of resource at the moment

For some reason, and don't ask...lol...I did a random Nielsen search on reddit, and sure enough the first thing that came up was an 18yr old thread from back in the day during the original Nielsen demolition by Calhoun/Habib regarding their "genius" idea that deleting the "reply all" button in our Microsoft Outlook emails would save money! Lol. Man, I remember this like it was yesterday. This would have been circa 2008, about 2 years into the "transformation." And here we are all these years later!

Surprising, no headcount cut, announced till now

Heard rumblings of a hiring freeze. Take a look at the careers page…only 22 listed. A mix of 22 positions that are determined to be necessary during this financial freeze. The first job option has an estimated range of 227-431k……..

I wish I would have been in SVP or D level to not get axed. So far what I have seen only these levels are in decision panel and only vp avp getting cut. Which makes no sense though because they again hire new resources for those positions once the wave is crossed. They don't have any idea what are they doing (an ordinary VP has better understanding) just thinking themselves as king and cutting people they don't like not on merit.

How long are the investors going to buy that this company is going to do better because they’re going “back to basics?”

Answer:
Forever.
