I was asked to leave last year piped out before retirement eligibility. So I got my retirement payout information from alight. You are eligible to get retirement after 50 years of age. I was told I had to wait 90 days to get my lump sum payout. I was given the deadline of Feb 26th to submit my notarized paperwork. I sent it off on Feb 3rd and waited for a check. The check was supposed to come in March. I waited for two weeks into march and nothing. I called alight and they said it was late by one day and expired. They said they would send another packet to me. When I got the packet the lump sum was not available. I called alight again and they said I canceled the retirement in December of 2025 on the website. Alight said they sent an email to my exxonmobil.com email. I told them I never received the email because I did not have access to my work email. I am now fighting them to get my lump sum payout because I want to be done with this horrible company. I did not cancel my retirement and don't know if they are just sc--wing me around so they can save money by paying me over 20 years. If they don't allow my lump sum I will sue them as the amount is several hundred thousand dollars.

One of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in corporate America happened last week. Our tone deaf executives stood in front of a room and shared a half a**ed set of things we should care about. Then instead of making their “I will” statements back to the work force they had employees “commit” to their ignorance by reading statements.

News flash: Read the surveys. Less than 20 percent of the company supports the leadership team. Rumor has it we are going back to the office because the biggest proponent of going back to office has a spouse he can’t stand 😆😆😆

The company is going through turmoil and more and more people will continue to leave, can’t blame them at all. Thank goodness I’m in the final round of interviews. Instead of making things better they are getting more erratic.

How far is your commute? Did you put your kids in before and after care? How do you manage the schedule when both parents need to work and clock 8 hours? Any exceptions if kids have issues at school and you need to pick them up?

Well.. it is what it is. But it’s heart breaking to read the comments regarding laid off O employees and that they were cut from medical insurance and work after many years with just one cold e-mail. Employee that was planning serious surgery next month, a woman 30-week pregnant opened mailbox and suddenly her access was cut…. There are lots of stories where just
As I observe on Linkedin people really are getting ungry for this AI bullsh-ts published on Lnkdn, and are leaving the comments regarding yesterday and todays layoffs. People just got sick with that situation. It lacked basic human decency.

Why has eip not been updated any for 2026? Is eip bonus going away?

Does anyone have a logical answer as to why my team has to have their T1 reviews sent in by 4/14 when T1 is still not completed and bonuses don't pay until June? I swear this place just like to d1-k up things to see how we respond.

• how do we feel on the q4 all hands
• the first lady that spoke.. felt vague at strange on employee things to come?
• who is this lisa lady
• how are folks on legacy inmarsat side holding up?

Do as i say not as i do. I will take your pay and with your money i will increase my salary by millions every year.

You deserve pay cuts every year for your hard work and delivering. This is all fair and ethical. I have different ethics to you, i deserve everything and you deserve 0.

The layoff plan was finalised in France and it’s a massacre that targets mostly engineers and surprisingly not too many corporate functions. Even products that are supposedly in priority has not been spared and people with domain knowledge have been impacted. In my 18 years at Ansys, I have never come across such levels of insincerity and misdirection.

Several managers have been resigning at the EFK site over the past few weeks. What do they know that the rest of us don't know?

Since this market closed on 3/31 I was wondering if they found jobs for the NCM’s and SW’s?

I worked at Q for 10.5 years. I have complained to HR about harassment from a colleague (not a manager). Seems like they did not investigate this. Last month they fired me along with other 45 IT people. Is it a retaliation?

Looks to be a well coordinated strategy to push earnings call to March 31. The drop in share prices is almost 15% now, wiping out any gains on ESPP.

This is as pathetic as it gets, no need to invest in ESPP going forward if this is how cheap this company is going to get to.

MF is literally MF.

Always remember: All those executives and management people at State Farm did not get where they are at by having a strong work ethic. They got there by hurting, stepping on, and disregard for their workers. They do not believe in a strong work ethic and loyalty. The exact same is for their customer which is a direct violation of the company mission and vision statement. Everything is negotiable for them but not for you.

Have the layoffs even been mentioned to those who were not affected ?

Question for those with visibility into the Oracle layoffs:

Given the scale of the reductions, why does it appear that very few M5s were impacted and almost no M6s or M7s were affected? The distribution across levels seems disproportionate.

Is that perception accurate, and if so, what explains it?

I’ve never seen a company quite like Staples that LOVES to promote and retain toxic individuals. It seems a requirement now to be an AVP is to be a full blown narcissist. Glad we are bringing in 2026 by sending a message to the hardworking employees that not only are we going to pay you pennies but your leaders will be some of the rudest and hateful people we can find, cheers!

again during the night another 1k dropped on slack , maybe its late accounts disabling , about 13k + since the last week .

I just joined at a Randstad/Cella consultant just a week ago and was told yesterday that they will be cutting some of their staff. Is there any truth to this? I wasn't sure if this is normal or not but I just got here.

Say what you want, but I like that we got a heads-up about these cuts, even if it caused weeks (months) of stress. I got lucky and am still here, but if I had been affected, at least I would’ve been ready. If it had been a sudden announcement, I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t have been the case.

Novo Nordisk announced a workforce reduction. Approximately 400 positions will be cut at its Bloomington site. These layoffs are scheduled for early May. The company stated it remains committed to the site. Local officials are working to support affected employees.

Well they got me yesterday. I was in the hospital January for a stroke, still recovering and one year away from retirement. The best they could muster was an email. I was the only person let go on my team and also the oldest at 66. The least they could’ve done was a face-to-face layoff but being the cowards they are they hid behind a computer somewhere. In all honesty, I hope they burn to the ground.

SAP is under a lot of financial pressure and the only way to fix this is by mass layoffs. Basically, we are investing too much in stock buybacks, AI (data centers and development) and bonuses. The executive board wants to axe the last one and increased the first two. So the only solution is layoffs. Oracle fired 20000 people yesterday and SAP is supposed to follow suit to "remain at a competitive advantage". The new works council is already in negotiations regarding this. SAP wants 12000 layoffs worldwide of which 5000 will be in European hubs. But this is kept hush hush. I feel like speaking out because I am tired of these bull$hit games. The biggest problem here is middle management and executives who want more bonuses for themselves and want to use third party contractors instead of full-time employees. They are the ones pushing for the layoffs. So don't listen to your area executives when they say that times are rough. If SAP didn't insist on share buybacks or invest too much in AI that is not producing any results for customers, we would not have such a deficit. This narrative needs to be fixed. I am tired of our CEO, CFO, executives and middle management saying that employee salaries and bonuses are the third highest expense for SAP. That is a good thing and not a bad thing. Employees create and sell good software not AI. Some of the managers pushing for this already have salaries of more than €200000 per year and still want more. Say no to layoffs. Talk back to your manager if they want to give you a bad rating. If you have done the work, you should get good performance ratings. They want to use bad performance ratings to fire employees or pay them less.

It does seem like, on average, older more experienced people were laid off. Anyone else notice this? Our group is half gone, and it's ALL the older folks - I'm not talking really old, just over 40.

It did not have to be this way, every single choice was made to strip the dignity from employees. Remember that as painful as this is, you are in control of your response. Be smart on your own behalf, contact an attorney if you have questions so that you can get answers that apply to you. Get that contact information from colleagues to keep in touch. Look out for each other. If you are feeling hopeless, in the US call 988.

Our dumpster fire of a workplace has spread to Reddit lol. Rumors of severance being reduced to 1 week per year after 4 years of service, multiple people saying they were blindsided with IM ratings at year end and suddenly let go with no severance, and more.

We've all been warned. This will be our norm and it has already happened for some employees. Employees will be fake-fired for non-existent performance issues. All to save severance $$. The brutality will only increase for those that are still hanging on. Wish i left when i had the chance.

The Stagecoach is a career ki-ler.

Quick Take On This Round Of Firing & How Its Different Than September 2,2025 ??

Uncle L did talk to an Astrologer & this mas firing happened EXACTLY 6 months after September 2025 layoff. What a timing. But, this time employees were reading E-mail on layoff & house collapsed. Shame on management

About 30 people in ITV across the org displaced today.

I’ve been here for over a decade, and I’d be lying if I said it was all bad. There were good times too, even if the bad has been more prominent in recent years. I’ll miss my coworkers, and I’m hoping we’ll still grab a drink now and then. I’m ready to move on. Good luck to everyone else, I hope life treats you well.

I am unsure if the layoff decisions were the same unilaterally across all orgs, but I was told that people knew yesterday afternoon and leadership had a say in it. In at least my organization they picked some high earners and some people who due to re-orgs were sort of put into bad spots.

Got the morning email and still have no information on whats next and we only get benefits til end of next week. How nice.

Poudre School District avoided layoffs for teachers on continuing contracts. The district placed all such teachers in new positions for the 2026-27 school year. This action eliminated a previously authorized reduction-in-force process. Many probationary teacher positions were still eliminated due to budget cuts. The district faces an anticipated budget deficit of at least $8 million.

Workers across the U.S., India, and other regions learned their jobs were gone before most people had finished their morning coffee, with no prior warning from HR or their managers.

People who’ve given Oracle ten plus years are being laid off through email, no call, no conversation, nothing. That would require facing the people affected, and clearly that’s not something they’re willing to do. It’s a cowardly way to handle something like this, but I'm not surprised.

If asked HR & exec would be compelled to admit that they defined the specific criteria for advancement to senior roles at OVV. One of the criteria was female or visible minority. Can't undo that slide.

Illegal in the USA for what it's worth. Definitely ammo in the right case...

Employees who's stock vest in June are let go. Just 2 days to vest between last date and vesting date .
