What number does the big boss have in mind? The layoffs won't stop til that number is reached.

Anybody in Finance worried? They have automated so many reports it feels like they are preparing to RIF us.

There should be no doubt. I guess we'll be using this site a lot. Not a good thing at all.

i see a sudden meeting with hr, is it scary?

Why is the FBI raiding locations in Dearborn?

There were high level engineers laid off this week. Does anyone know how many?

Is it a coincidence that as soon as Verizon partnered with these two Indian companies everything started getting much worse? Or am I being unfair?

Just sayin.

Has anyone received an email asking to put self assessment for year end 10/29 night arround 11:40pm and then got recalled 10/30? Is it a hint for something?

This is going to explode at some point, the level of exclusion in this company is just unbearable, I had to say it, there's just so much toxicity I just hope this message reaches someone thinking of joining this company.. be careful

To pay me severance????

Fiserv may make it. The determing factor not being discussed is that class action lawsuit.

Just a word if warning:

Do not divulge too much personal information to your managers or H.R.

ITS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS AND CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU. IF THEY PRETEND TO CARE, THEY DONT!!

Info about your marriage, doctor visits/health problems, children, family members. Be very careful who you talk to and document or secretly record any strange questions you may be asked, especially from Human Resources or the store manager.

And remember if something or some interaction with managers or Human Resources seems weird or a bit “off”, It’s because it is.

I hope we're safe for the rest of the year, considering that the holiday season is starting. Or am I expecting too much?

Some leaders make claims that they know who posts on the site and can track it (even if not at work) who can confirm if they are just using it as a scare tactic?

Let’s try to keep a list in one place. Based on what people have shared so far, it might actually be easier to point out which orgs seem safe. It’s looking really bad. I’m so sorry we all have to go through this.

Amazon is layoff 30k employees. Is Dell following Amazon soon?

Are we affected??

I sent several legitimate personal documents to my own email today and noticed something in my Mac Finder under “locations” I’ve never seen before.

Under iCloud Drive and OneDrive, there was a network icon titled “my first name” in all lowercase

Spooky

I didn’t receive it but some people on my team did, wondering if this means i’m on the block for the morning or if it just random (and insanely tone deaf)

Already hearing folks getting let go. Good luck to us all.

Quarter is not looking good

Especially the one about teamember health and happiness.
Do customers really believe anything that wfm says or does?
I don't. It's just a paycheck to me.

If 17 years at company has taught me anything, nothing good ever came from an All Hands Meeting. They're not announcing new jobs or pay raises. Hopefully those impacted by what's coming have been given a good heads up and nice Payoff.

Still tuned to this thread on Nov 6th.

How is the payment replatforming going? Is it still a mess with US folks getting axed by Rama?

I had a meeting with my L8 (as an L5) the week before fiddelke’s email that in hindsight really suggested they knew what was up and were trying to prepare me for it because it sounds a lot like my lead (L7) is getting let go.

We can’t possibly have another level up while riffing at the same time…can we?

As above. I just happened to notice it’s open (?) and ends mid Nov, as per uge.

I didn’t get an email nor I don’t think a snail mail.

They couldn’t possibly try to keep me from getting free bennies months into next year… or would they??

Any conversation of layoffs within properties? Hearing quite a bit regarding merch but nothing in this pyramid.

architects are the most talented people in fidelity..offlate we are being targeted for no reason.. please respect us

Finance already runs super lean and has many lower level analyst spots open. Will it be spread even thinner in the lower positions? Will Sr Managers be mostly affected? I would assume that it isn’t the first to be cut..

Title is the question

Is there any chatter about other locations or teams?

Was she watching the same 3rd Quarter Earnings?

That’s what I understood, but I just want to be sure. You’ll have to forgive my skepticism and distrust.

With SAP and almost every other company flushing billions down the toilet chasing a phony dream, what happens after the crash?

https://www.commondreams.org/news/artificial-intelligence-bubble

MarketWatch reported on Friday that the MacroStrategy Partnership, an independent research firm, has published a new note claiming that the bubble generated by AI is now 17 times larger than the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, and four times bigger than the global real-estate bubble that crashed the economy in 2008.

Perkins told Axios that he’s particularly wary because the big tech companies are claiming “they don’t care whether the investment has any return, because they’re in a race.”
“Surely that in itself is a red flag,” he added.

“I think that there will be a lot of capital that’s deployed that will turn out to not deliver returns, and when that happens, people won’t feel good,” he said.

Sir A Witty - where’s he with his gang? Concerned 😒

Detail your biggest concerns at the facilities you work at…
Lots of corrosion and lack of integrity monitoring since Covid…

The purpose is to share and hopefully improve HSE conditions. With recent acquisitions field and office personnel have not been concentrating on safety and integrity and it’s starting to become evident…
