#employeerelations

What is it going to take from those left in the DFW area to say enough is enough? TI is a woke company that doesn't care about its employees and continues to sell out our jobs to India. Leaders in the company are DEI placements, especially IT, and there is no end in sight. We need change! We need to take back our company! Should we start a Union? Stage a huge walk out from local TMG and IT? Any ideas on how to tell Krunali and Haviv that enough is enough and we will not lay down any longer!!!

Leaving Loudly: Why I’m Gonr After a Decade
The End of a Chapter
Friday marks my last day after ten years of dedication, hard work, and consistently exceeding expectations—90% of my ratings were top-tier. Yet, despite the numbers, the experience left me drained and disillusioned.
Quiet Quitting vs. Loud Leaving
While many choose to “quietly quit,” I’m doing the opposite. I’m leaving loudly—not for drama, but because silence protects systems that harm. Speaking up matters.
The Human Cost
This ISP hasn’t been easy. It’s taken a toll on my aging parents, my spouse, and my kids. The emotional weight is real, and I won’t sugarcoat it: I’ve felt depressed and confused through this process.
One Piece of Advice
If you’re in a similar situation, know your worth and don’t ignore the signs. Blind loyalty can cost you years you’ll never get back.
A Hard Truth About Edward Jones
To my network: take a hard look at Edward Jones. High fees, outdated practices, and a culture that undervalues high performers have left me embarrassed I stayed so long. Tell your friends. Protect your future.
Closing Thoughts
Leaving is hard. Staying in a place that erodes your confidence and well-being is harder. Sometimes the loudest exit is needed.

2026 will be bad.... we are headed to much trouble times - the economy and politics will suffer, the worker will suffer... make sure u got degrees and some certifcations. todays job market care more about culture fit, tests, 3-6 interviews and then ghosted?? i felt this pain alredy and the stress is unreal!

so when u get that meeting invite later today, manager there but hr left out cause it’ll be a surprise.. severance, COBRA, resume helper... nobody reached out to me when i was laid off, not even ppl i reported to, nothing!! nobody has ur back.. i realy hope u got family or friends like i did, cause when that call ends, u’ll see who really matters in life...

new views will hit u hard... no loyalty, no care, no two week notice.. all that they expect from us when we leave a company!!!

1,000 Layoffs on 10/29
600 Buyouts
1,600 Personnel no longer on the books once Telefe and Chile TV network sold
Talk of 2,000 total Layoffs

Here's what would be great to know...just so all are aligned and working off the same page. We know that the 1,000 10/29 layoffs are part of the 2,000 layoff target. Are the 600 + 1,600 figures above considered part of the total 2,000 or are they completely separate? That's all we're asking DE + Exec Team to share. Are there 1,000 more to go in December of Q1 2026 or is the figure more or less???

If an individual is engaged in multiple full-time positions simultaneously during standard working hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), to whom or through what channel should such a situation be reported?

I work in federal services and am wondering if anyone knows if the reopening of the government will restore a lot of the members we keep losing due to the shut down. It’s been awful hearing from members how this is impacting them and their family. Those have jobs aren’t getting paid and others are now losing their health coverage.

I get it. We all have an “in office goal”. The rest of us want to stay healthy. Work with your manager if it means you aren’t going to hit your RTO numbers. It is disrespectful to disregard others and expose us to your germs for a swipe.

Has anyone heard about any layoffs this week? Optum just noticed a lot of nurses . I just saw a coworker who was let go at the beginning of the year and is still looking. It’s really tough out there finding good paying jobs.

Per news article from Ignites, BNY cut 3400 staff in the past 12 months and paid out $250 in severance.

Also mentioned in the article that approximately 50% of staff are now based outside the US; before Robin this was 40%.

Has anyone who has quit, been terminated, or had a serious type of grievance with belk ever been asked to sign a non disclosure agreement?

Layoffs have already started with multiple Market presidents. Just check Workvivo. Notice there’s some we don’t hear from lately. They gone! These layoffs are starting from the top and trickling down. A lot of Senior Directors and Directors are next. They are keeping them around to deliver the bad news to retail stores. Be aware of any open positions not being filled or weird last minute moves to save good employees from being cut. It’s simple math less stores, less retail employees, less Directors, less R2B and the dominos fall. Be very nervous if you get a calendar invite for a mandatory meeting between Nov18-20. Or if you start to see routine meetings canceled. Most likely you will be impacted in some way. Most executives have some knowledge just look at how a lot of Presidents, VPs, and Senior Directors are silent. That’s because they are already out of the business or will be soon. Go ahead and test it ask about why your President or VP has been off the grid lately.

Ultimately it’s probably better to find out now than waste more time. He’s a multi millionaire that is dangling layoffs and leaving everyone in the dark to punk us. What type of leaders makes those types of threats during the holidays? A bad one that is just a hatchet man that was sent to dismantle Verizon and dump on us. That’s the corporate life and the real world. He’s been on the board for multiple years he’s not looking to grow the company. He’s looking to drive shareholder value so he can exit and get a nice payout. If your store doesn’t close this time it will soon. The future is 100% online with AI. Buy a phone anywhere and then activate online. Hopefully you get a nice payout and then move on retail is dead.

HR at this company stopped being about people a long time ago, they love to talk about supporting employees, WLB, open communication. but try bringing them a real issue and see how fast they shut down. The second you speak up youre labeled as negative or not a team player. Totally useless. All effort is made to protect the higher ups and the co, nothing for the worker. Disgusting.

saw my SD in the hallway - she looked very upset. I asked her what's up and she pulled me into a room.
She just learned she's out. Layoffs will be 20% across all bands, all BUs, all geos, all everything. SVPs, VPs, stores, GN&T, everything. Looks like I'm on the list, too.

ConocoPhillips is in the process of executing a huge layoff.
One thing they’re doing is offering Expressions of Interest for those employees interested in leaving voluntarily. This will give a number of employees the chance to stay that otherwise would have been laid off.
P66 could have done the same thing but that wouldn’t have caused near as much heartache.

☹️

Today’s townhall was informative. It was made crystal clear that globalization and AI will continue to be the major priority/strategy of Optum.

Additionally, I found it ironic that they mentioned the concern of staff in Ireland, India, and the Philippines sometimes feeling left out, but no mention of the concern of workers in the United States related to continuous layoffs. I’m sure those in America being laid off feel way more left out.

I was just informed that our market is reducing the number of coaches in each store. Since I was the most recent addition to my current location, I’ll be transferring to another store in the market. Curious if anyone else has experienced this and if seniority is usually the deciding factor.

Buyout. No unemployment claims. No discrimination lawsuits. Improved morale for those who choose to stay.
But then, this is Verizon so…
Layoff. Unemployment claims across the board. Class action discrimination suits for each protected class (age, race, s-x). Fear and unrest for the employees not laid off.

I find the posts on Linkdin by various leaders at Verizon, to be completely tone deaf. Fancy dinners, and trips to Paris. Sure, it might be work related, but its a real slap in the face to be living it up in luxury while your employees are preparing for the worst. Do better.

Say you get RIF'd on 11/20 and have to work until end of Dec. How productive are you expected to be during those final 3-4 weeks?

If you had projects you were planning to finish before end of year, do you still complete those? How much effort do you put into offloading your work to another employee? Are you still expected to follow the 3/2 hybrid?

Or are you basically just doing minimal work during this time, and not coming into office?

What have you seen from lame duck employees in prior RIFs?

The last day was end of October.

So much for WF being a 'family'

I spent over 10 years in vSphere. Now that Broadcom bundled vSphere 9.0 and you can never buy alone, many alternatives are coming up. Proxmox is outdated. These guys are out of their mind.

But I am seeing a few players. Some are ex-vmware employees. It is very very very interesting to see one of them takeover vSphere in a few years.

Of course, the top enterprise customers are stuck but anyone less than 1000 servers should be an immediate target.

I am very looking forward to see vSphere displacement in action.

19,000 employees were kicked out due to greed and destruction.

.. along with Boeing, GE and other dinosaurs who thought they were cleverer than anyone else and then dropped off a cliff. In my 30 years with the company. We are the next Boeing; too big to fail and then we fall.

I have never ever seen us treat people so badly, treat HC10 like $hit on the bottom of your show an believe India will solve every thing but all they do is sc--w it up and leave the business unit or project to clean it up. If the investors could see the failure, they would be shocked but we always put polish on it.

We as shareholders need to come after the MC when this goes badly and impacts the most important people in the company - the shareholders. For all the investors, you need to watch out for your investment as it tanks

Vote if you agree

does anyone remember the epayments cto who was completely unhinged and not exactly competent. he was truly the beginning of the end

layoffs have occurred at Tyson corporate.

Rumors floating around that 24% already said NO on survey to Edmonton. Lot of others (including me) are playing for time and decided to wait until final decision time of Jan'26. Anyone has insights how the MC is reacting to much steeper than expected rate? I suspect they dont care ... perhaps they will bring in more expats from Houston to fill Senior Management roles.

So the new gimmick for the UR nurses is to hire bedside nurses with no experience in casemanagememt or utilization review, skim over what is required for the job and lie to the individual about what is required. So 16 to 22 reviews, no lunches , a hurried break, stay overtime , listen to a psychotic manager who is only interested in the metrics so she can get a big bonus, hide your head under a rock and pretend you don’t see all the what could be considered frau:;(, work overtime and listen to everyone tell you your burned out in 6 months cause you don’t know how to be productive and organize your time and work for a fraction of what you make at other companies and hospitals.

Accenture is well known for its PIP and easy way to get rid of employees.

Have any personal experience how often and prevalent these are? Describe your PIP experience, location, and if you were able to fight, pass.

Hearing about a bonus in December but cannot find information. If so, will it be paid if laid off before December?

This company is run by mo--ns. I received the Alumni Zone letter in the mail. "A centralized resource for former colleagues".....HELLO?! Im still employed by you!

Scheduling 10 hour shifts on Blk Friday weekend. Seriously?

This week my new boss brought me behind the current to help untangle reorg chaos. He is new in role, so totally lost, and wanted my help on work flows, etc. Long story short, they eliminated multiple jobs with zero plan/guidance as how those responsibilities should be done. When I asked “what’s leaderships guidance?” The response was hand waving about centralization. When I ask what the skills/capacity are of the centralized team, more hand waving. It was then suggested, as a high performer, they’d like me to take on responsibilities of one or more of these roles. Here i pushed back, noting: 1) this was not what I applied for; 2) they dropped my role a psg, 1 below my current psg, and the new role would be a psg above the old role - so unless they adjust the psg, im not doing anything more (because what’s my incentive). I also suggested we needed better guidance from whomever established the new org design to understand what’s intended, and it was made clear to me there was no intentional design here, just a concept they want to make so. The lack of leadership from LT is appalling. And, I don’t see a way out.

But it got me thinking if it’s this much a cluster fu-k in my little corner, the rest of the biz must be as bad or worse. So let’s hear it! What’a broken in your corner of this clusterfu-k?

this isn't a complicated story

leadership pumps up the numbers with ethically challenged accounting

eventually there are no more tricks left in the bag

leadership parachutes out with inflated equity

new leadership "comes clean" and gets a ton of equity at deflated prices

everyone wins, except the dedicated employees

The ones you fire and hire back is a joke. Such a game you play with your financials so the owners get paid on the backs of the Staples slaves. And you wonder why the ones come back in the first place, it’s not for the great culture.

I’ve been laid off twice in the past 10 years. The first time hit me hard after giving 18 years to one company and routinely working 10-14 hour days. I learned loyalty can vanish in an instant. Now I stick to doing my work and nothing extra. Jobs can disappear anytime, and most companies couldn’t care less about their employees.

Hopefully SF is considering de-mutualizing in efforts to remain a force in the industry. Not to mention an IPO and/or being purchased by another stock company could be both beneficial for current and future employees… as well as attracting and retaining top talent.

The Clark County School District sent staff an email on Friday regarding recent layoffs. he district said budget revisions happened after lower-than-expected enrollment numbers this fall. This impacted support professionals, licensed educators, and school administrators.
