#discussion

There was one at my old job, so I'm just wondering if there's something similar here.

In the recent Town Hall meeting, someone brought up what is Project Skittles and caught management off guard. Just wondering if anyone heard of this Project.

Someone explain the interpretation on the global employee survey please

Can yall like, actually st-fu now? Thanks.

Sine the move is to pooled resources, the total number can be reduced, and AEs doing initial discovery and getting trained up.

SEs get pummeled again an again

Thought or heard something?

Just wondering if they’ve all been let go yet. There was one group (investment services) that was still hanging in there as work from home but I was wondering if they still are or if they got let go?

Anything?

Are layoffs still happening today?

More and more supervisors are admitting in feedback sessions that the ranking system is broken and assessment outcomes make no sense.

Anyone from NY Fidelis hear anything today?

AMD is doing a string of acquisitions lately with the most recent one being Taalas. I've heard that things are already dicey internally@amd

But are layoffs actually on the horizon because of these acquisitions ? Any chatter?

I saw couple of promotion posts on LinkedIn, are they really promoting people ?

Checking on colleagues. All quiet in my area.

I vaguely recall an RTO mandate going out not long after I left. What actually happened? I can't see them enforcing this when half of us were made remote through COVID

Sounds like a scam. Why hasn't WF complained?

Wondering how many took the rolls/ where and how many just said sc--w it

What happened to last pulse survey? Does anybody have insight into overall ratings?

How do folks feel about AI-DLC?

Seems like many of my go to resources adjacent to my account team has been retiring this week. What's going on?

And was on an approved leave of absence is that legal has anyone ever heard this happened before ?

I'm hoping to hear from HR professionals, former managers, or anyone who has participated in workforce reduction decisions.
Could you walk me through how a typical layoff selection process works behind the scenes at WF?
For example, if a department has 12 employees and leadership has determined that 6 positions must be eliminated due to restructuring, how is it decided which 6 employees are selected?
Some questions I'm particularly interested in are:
Who typically initiates the process and determines the layoff population?

Does the direct manager make the initial recommendations, or are employees ranked collaboratively by multiple leaders?

Who participates in calibration discussions? Are senior leaders, HR Business Partners, Legal, Employee Relations involved?

If a ranking matrix is used, who develops the evaluation criteria, and how much discretion does managers have when assigning ratings?
How are subjective factors, such as leadership potential, business impact, or future fit, evaluated and documented?

What level of evidence is expected to support a manager's ranking of each employee?

Who has final approval authority before layoff decisions are communicated?

Are decisions ever revisited if HR or Legal identifies inconsistencies or potential discrimination risks?

What documentation is typically created during the process, and how long is it retained?

Are managers instructed to avoid considering employees who are on protected leave (such as FMLA), have recently requested accommodations, or have recently filed internal complaints? If those employees are included in the layoff population, what additional review or documentation is typically required?

From your experience, what parts of the process are most heavily scrutinized if a layoff decision is later challenged in litigation or investigated by the EEOC?

I'm interested in understanding both the formal process and how it actually works in practice. If you've personally participated in these discussions, I'd appreciate any insight into who influences the decisions, what documentation is reviewed, and where the greatest amount of discretion typically exists.

Put your thoughts here.

So....did they say anything about it? Didnt think so....It will never be spoken of again like it was never under any consideration. Funny that, isn't it?

So if you are scheduled meeting next week , you are ok ?

Well, what are people hearing how the year ended?

Anyone else no longer able to see the Fannie Mae “bowls” on Fishbowl and Glassdoor? It now says they don’t exist. They were active prior to 10 am yesterday.

Curious to see what restructuring has occurred. Please share and let us know market.

This waiting for Godot sh-t is for the birds!

Speculations

How is the mood in the office?

Next quarter should be interesting when that nonsense rolls away.

TLDW, any new nuggets of insight?

Dear HR please stop commenting each post here . Found something more meaningful to do .

Is this real? In what universe does Medtronic think that coremap will take share from carto. the ceo of that company is a walking scam artist. this company is truly made up of some id--ts

Another false alarm?

Anyone hear of anything lately? Been too quiet around the campus.

I know the hot topics are the VSP and layoffs, but does anyone know what the restructuring will look like.

Any truth to this?

Is EchoStar really doing a Just Kidding, Come Back tactic to some?

Did they finally realize that what they did pretty much caused disaster recovery to have to happen?

Of invited back, would you come back? If you refuse, would they take away severance?
