Anyone feeling that all of this new AI agent deployment basically means it’s going to eventually replace all of us at the ground level? That town meeting today was very uncomfortable & felt like they were dancing around that issue.

Micromanage
The micromanaging has begun I believe! In the last 2 days we have received emails about a pattern of attendance-related activity like too many call ins when the last 2 months have been so stressful and we are to update teams every time we step away from our desk for some reason. This has not been an issue before but is now?!?
Security Being Pulled?
Any locations out there where security has been removed?
Safe?
I am training offshore replacements and hoping this preserves my job. Anyone have insight?
Guilty plea
One of Fauci's associates just pled guilty to conspiracy and covering up what they were doing.
None of what is coming to light bothers the covidians or the people who targeted and fired the unjabbed. Or, worse, they made you get jabbed and then laid you off a few months later, anyway. No remorse, no conscience- nothing but silence. Astonishing.
Contractors
Well it’s official Lumen has fallen for the contractor vs employee trap. It won’t be long until all CO and Gateways are completely unusable. They leave trash, remove fibers and just otherwise do not care. This is a bad idea.
Dell is just bad for the world
Polluting the world w its non environmental products Animals have broken down nervous systems near data centers. Stop the madness
Dropped this year? Prepare for the worst
With headcount reduction ongoing if you dropped this year then don’t plan on anything improving going forward. The question is how quickly will you reach NSI?
My mgmt chain made my manager change my performance review
…and bot in a good way. My manager rated me a 4/5 (exceeds expectations) and then his manager made him change it to a 1/5 (not meeting expectations). That feels like the paper trail is being built to get rid of me. Thoughts?
HRR
Did anyone else get HRR email?
This is the first time getting this
Layoffs in Quality in October
I heard from my manager we’ll be loosing at least one person from our team and im assuming it’s part of a larger layoff.
Investor Day Canceled
How does this now get swept under the rug of incompetence?
CFO ????
The F*** CFO is now holding 20K shares in this company, that is $3M. He has no skin in the game anymore and he does not care. His insider trading pattern shows that he has no confidence in the business. For a company of that size and this behavior of CFO, he has to be immediately replaced.
Typically CFOs hold millions or hundreds of millions in their companies stock.
He is a mo--n that ran the company downhill with teh CEO. Fire both !
anyone else in us, israel or europe busy training offshore replacements?
not feeling good for some teams here, seen many more verint jobs being advertised in bangalore (after quick google)

Is the Strategy working?
Hehehe. OMG, what a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡 at the helm...
Wealth
Is the wealth that our nation and economy create being distributed to the working class? This is a serious question, not trolling, just watching news recently and asking myself questions about this as I see a fair level of pent up anger on both left and right sides. I know that there is a layer of folks (I am partially there) that feels that things are OK, I am unsure if my three adults kids would fall into this category. Thoughts?
Phone hours
Did the hours for phone assistance get cut recently?
Coffee badgers
Had 3 people I know be fired for this… looks like they’re ok to the next wave
Who is ready for Aug 18 for be over?
What time do you think layoffs will start on Tues AM?
TpdtiGts
Can anyone confirm if TPD may be completely dissolved and merged into VCG and GTS as part of the restructuring?
Are you planning to put in for the VSP?
Some people can’t deal with 2 years of uncertainty, and 4 months is a decent amount of time if you use it wisely.
No need to reveal your role or anything.
I’m not, but 2 on my team are and that’s going to be concerning for me if they get accepted, workload wise.
Things that make ya' go hmmm....
Apparently some Raytheon programs have, get this, TWO SETS of actual costs incurred under cost-type contracts: one set of #'s for the government and another set of #'s internal to Raytheon. These actuals do not remotely match and it's not due to lag-time in applying the accruals. Something to look out for as this is not a limited or one-off activity.
Distribution warehouses
Has anyone noticed "groups" of people walking warehouse and yards lately? These are not management or even Pepsi employees. So much for transparency. All seems hush hush.
Threads Disappearing
Wonder why?
ISS layoffs have begun
First wave of ISS layoffs were executed today. If you were laid off your manager will probably have a conversation today through this week about it. :(
TSR missing?
Anyone notice the TSRs are hidden until later this week? Who wants to bet the earlier promise of adjusting our salaries up if we were below the ranges goes away?
Oracle is going bankrupt fast
According to blind, oracle is preparing 10-20% layoffs 2 - 3 times PER year for the next 3 years. That's over 50% of the company, they are completely going bankrupt, one openAI bad news and they will be gone, this information was supposedly cmng from an M6, not sure how true is it but take it as you will.
Layoffs last Thursday
What other groups were affected last Thursday besides AP??
Will RTO settle?
What happens next year or in two years? Will the bank eventually care a little less or still fire people for not complying?
Can we make computer slower?
15 minutes to turn on my computer
Internet in home office is absolutely ridiculous
I would rather post here. Please list other issues.
Presence Report
Has your presence report been off the last 2 weeks? Last weeks report was atrocious. It’s wayyyyy off
The international environment is slowly declining
With mass layoffs in US, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, and elsewhere, the question arises whether the sinking Titanic will manage to stay afloat. All international operations are currently halted. Without vision and without progress... "Cu è surdu, orbu e taci, campa cent'anni 'n paci"
Optum Clinical Performance
Clinical Performance better off or worse than it was a year ago?
Will there be layoffs if the acquisition by Stripe is successful?
Time to look for a new job!
Massive Exodus out of Cisco
5 people left our team in the last 2 months. Everyone else is looking for new jobs. It’s becoming genuinely concerning, seems like a race on who’s going to get out first.
FY26 Annual Evaluation Overdue
My manager still hasn't provided his feedback on my FY26 performance review, it's still in-progress on him.
Do you know what was the deadline for manager evaluation step?
Am I a goner?
So many job openings advertised
Shouldn't those be removed if we're that desperate that we need to lose thousands more to layoffs?
