#dismissal

150 service reps got fired nationwide on Friday, August 14.

Is it normal to be terminated with just supervisor and manager/boss on the call? No HR.?

This is absolutely horrible and it was allowed to happen. Not somewhere I'll be working for long.

GB is trying to get 40 solid years. But, he will sell assets and then be asked to leave

Pump.fun has recently laid off over 40 employees in two separate rounds. These dismissals occurred in the months leading up to the initial vesting unlock of the platform's PUMP token. Affected staff are now ineligible for token allocations that could be worth millions. The company cited rapid expansion as a reason for the layoffs. Despite these cuts, Pump.fun has generated significant revenue and profit.

I think we’ve seen enough.

Welp... 20 years in, have a 15 minute meeting with my Director in 20 minutes... VCG Ops

This call taking place right now just further justifies why she needs to go.

My understanding, when they decide it's your turn, they cut access to corporate emails and any company system. Do they send email to personal mailbox? Or do they reach out via phone call/message?

Itai, if you’re reading this, it’s time. He has to go. Just do it.

Today I and several other people in Citi Frad division were laid off as well as representatives in Quality. The average tenure of those dismissed was 4 yrs or over. It is devastating and I’m just still in shock.

And already some good deselections… who should go next ?

My manager told me in front of my entire team that if I am so unhappy here, he has a replacement ready and I am free to leave. I was so stunned that I just said okay cool and went back to my desk. How out of line was that?

Senior Director: Its not about performance that we lay you off.
Me: ok.....
Senior Director: Is there anything we can help you?
Me: Yes, don't lay me off...... (I just be nice and didn't say that)

After 20 years..... this is the conversation i got. Its so fake and insincere.....

Or just pawns?

My role has been eliminated effective tomorrow. Just had a call with my manager and HR.

Niner Bikes operations have been paused. All employees were laid off today. United Wheels, its parent company, made this decision. The Fort Collins, Colorado-based brand pioneered 29-inch and gravel bikes.

Is there a way to tell if someone got fired on the term report?

JLJ gone. No “thanks for your service”. Just appoint interim long timer and business as usual.

Good for 3M. He was very bad at his job.

Pleasanton City Council recently reviewed the city's financial health. Financial advisors warned of a potential downward shift in conditions. The council halted a plan to eliminate 16 city positions. Officials also voted to terminate City Manager Johnny Huizar. The council will now seek a new city manager and review Huizar's contract.

What triggers and when will Shell nominate a new CEO?

An oil industry CEO is typically fired when they fail to balance the "iron triangle" of shareholder returns, operational discipline, and strategic pivots.

Common Triggers for Dismissal:

Capital Indiscipline: Overspending on new drilling or expensive mergers that don't immediately boost the share price.

Activist Pressure: Investment groups (like Elliott Management) demanding a return to "traditional" business models and simpler corporate structures.

Safety or Environmental Scandals: Major leaks or safety failures that result in crippling fines and "brand-ki-ling" headlines.

Operational Stagnation: Falling behind competitors in integrating new technologies.

I really hope you read this.

Eff you! We are better off without. Take your money and go hide your face. You are a failure and always have been. You gaslight the rest of these clowns into thinking you were some EV god but the rest of us knew from day one you were a joke. How you bamboozled Ford leadership into thinking we could take a bunch of rejects and failures from Apple and Tesla and build a successful will be a mystery but now if we can only get rid of the rest of the your lackeys and your “20x” skunkworks team.

Go eff yourself with a J1772 connector.

I would just like to give the middle finger to where it’s deserved. Fu-k you GK + her following a-s kissers. I will not be joining any town halls or taking the survey.

I'm so, so tempted to just not show up, but I don't want to burn any bridges, sadly. Does anybody know if I'll be asked to work my two week notice period or will I be dismissed right away?

Yeah, right. There’s no way he didn’t know or wasn’t at least involved somehow. I can buy that he wasn’t the final decision maker, but I call bullsh-t on him not even knowing.

Apparently SB has just been told to hit the bricks

Entering it in Workday. Isn't that grounds for dismissal?

It was an arduous and painful seven years with her at the HR helm. Good riddance!

I know of 2 people let go today- not sure if they were riffed or just fired.

I can confirm random dismissals without consideration of overall performance or necessity for the company. More than 100 employees are on the final list across all departments.

Goodbye growth! I think that, regardless of the consequences, the wrong horse is being backed here and core competencies are being neglected in the long term.
