How are we supposed to survive this?

Anyone with an employee discount receive notification of a credit due to the outage. I tried customer service but gave up after being on hold forever. I’m going to guess that BZ will somehow deny us a credit for some reason they can’t justify.

Employees made it over three years of constant layoffs most won’t make it to 2027. The company is going to get eaten alive by competition and the fact Dell doesn’t have relevant products for innovation.

Has anyone heard if they are taking away company cars? If so who does this affect? What levels?

Not many visitors any more, does anyone know why?

RF Sr Manager here Just had a meeting with my Sr. Director & it looks like most of the folks impacted on my team are H-1B employees, mainly to reduce OPEX costs. That’s really sad. We have some truly great people on the team and they’re top performers. It’s honestly worrying and disappointing.

I got word that layoffs will continue through February. Watch yourselves.
Can somebody confirm this?

It sounds like A LOT of IM & NI are being given out this year and from what I'm hearing, not for any real reason. But how is this going to look to the regulators, when the majority of team members have sh---y ratings? Maybe it's not an issue? I'm genuinely curious. If I was a regulator looking at risk or compliance and half the team has sh---y ratings, you'd think that make the "firm" look bad? Maybe not, just curious.

Somebody asked in another thread if we're going to do quarterly layoffs until only Atty is left, and frankly and sadly, I think that's much closer to the truth than the poster intended. The way things have been developing, it seems that we've reached the stage where layoffs, instead of only being used when absolutely necessary, have become something used regularly just to pad the numbers. That's our future.

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

Anyone concerned about the Jan Town Hall meeting? Apparently Cengage Learning Platform will be introduced.

There is no safe haven for anyone regardless of region. We will see.

Will those laid off still get 2025 bonuses?

Is the company profitable? The stock seemed to tank and not go up at all.

Sh*t is happening today.

My manager set my performance review for Jan 23.

That Jan 23 is also the last date for performance review.
Should I be worried.

I know someone here knows? I'm reading something about a "new jersey server failure" in some news articles.

Apparently has been put on hold . I was initially informed that I would be released at the start of the second quarter. However, today I was informed that this decision has been reversed. While I am grateful to retain my position, I must admit that I was looking forward to the relief of not having the threat of displacement looming over me, and I would prefer to receive a severance package should they decide to terminate my employment. I am now concerned that I might receive an IM or one of those unnecessary RTO reports, which they could potentially use as justification for my dismissal. This marks the third occasion on which I have experienced a similar situation.

I work in a part of FI that is now a part of Fidelity Wealth (yet we’ve been given no direction or concrete info). Anyone heard of upcoming relocation pushes away from Smithfield? The 900 building/traffic/parking garage is a complete disaster and no one cares. Wondering if they’re looking to reduce headcount there.

Today I should have received my first severance check (direct deposit) and there’s no check stub in colleague zone and so far no direct deposit. WTF

I requested temporary medical accommodation and received layoff notice in few days. Also no one responded to my medical accommodation Request, not even an acknowledgement. Is this driven by this?

“In 20026 don’t be afraid to cut everybody” off.

How many customers will defect??

In my time with the company, the SPTO bid has always been around November. We could request our scheduled time off for the whole 12 months of the upcoming New Year. We work in a site that is closing. They are only allowing us to schedule in quarterly increments. So far we've only been able to schedule through the end of March. Is this an indication the site we work in is closing this year in 2026? We are sorry to ask here, but nobody talks about it at work.

whats next after the stock dropping? 100's of them in the office with no work?

I was laid off in November and still haven't received severance. It is difficult to get ahold of anyone in HR. Anyone else experiencing this?

Grab your life vest, and jump ship. You heard it straight from the CEO.

As long as there are those around who remember what was, there will be people who will resist what will be. We are in the endgame folks, he means to wipe us all out and he’s got the stones to do it.

Will I get "rewards" for going to HR for re-evaluation ? (Did not hear back from them)

I've heard from several corp. colleagues that this movo company has been contracted by 3M. Here's the website: https://movo.co/

If so, this would mean all trust is gone.

Can someone comment if this is true?

Never knew this existed. I think it’s a great way to let them know about their layoff practices.

My friend told me that sick day frequency went way down to almost non existence level. Is this true??

Anyone else getting multiple orders for items where you have just 1 unit in store?
Started prior to BF. Example: 8 orders for MK men's coat we had one of.
I've sent an email to our Ops person; no response. WTF?
