Intel is such a trash company. The management is allowed to make decisions that ruin the company for it's employees. Management does not care about anyone below them and will sc--w you over at any cost. Intel HR likes to drive around the parking lot recording people with their dash cams in an attempt to fire them for time clock fraud. Intel isn't what is once was. Horrible decisions made my management has ruined what could be a good thing.

They are next. Most of them couldn't get a middle manager job outside of this company.

Noone is safe

Any managers care to share what gets communicated to them on cutting employees? Any of that happening in the near future?

What could lead to it? Will he fight or quit?

What tactics Cisco managers use before putting IC on PIP? PIP cause is very subjective.

I've seen enough signs over the last few months, including being completely ignored by my manager, to accept that reality. So why am I still ki-ling myself for a place that's about to show me the door?

In the old days the first sign you were about to get a call from HR was not being able to log into your computer.
If that is still the signal then everyone in aero is on the chopping block.
The number of access issues and the rumors, workarounds, and tin foil hat superstitions about getting to any random IT run resource is unbelievable. I would suspect an attack but that fails the “simplest logical cause” test…. Incompetence

I guess the way to know you are about to be fired is to look at your department. Honaero IT? Pack up.

Never take a position at this institution. They have recently declared financial exigency to layoff tenure-track faculty while admins keep increasing their own salaries. Shameful.

They are definitely going to micromanage people out so they don't have to pay! Getting a lawyer to be on standby. But if the PL can at least have a heart and stand up for us and know we will be out of y'all's hair asap and to please please not set us up to be let go. I have seen it happen too many times.
Noone cares. Trust my noone does.

A significant chunk of the team is gone and seems like a common pattern is that they took a healthy amount of PTO in general. A colleague also barely took PTO but was recently forced by their manager to take leaves and maintain good balance and they did, and were laid off now. Almost all of them took a long time off summer.

Any similar pattern in your teams? Feeling worried and more hesitant to take PTO now after this. Was planning a visit to see family but thinking of cancelling it now.

I got a partially meets for the first time in my career based on very shaky reasons that didn’t reflect my work or feedback. Anyone else in my boat? I’m assuming this just makes me first in line for RIFs, but is it an automatic de*th sentence? If my part of the business isn’t hit will I be let go anyway? Obvs no one is psychic, just wondering about lived experience.

Dear xxxxx xxxx,
We are reaching out to you regarding your security questions in myPay. Currently, we show that you have not selected your security questions and answers. It is important for you to set up your security questions in myPay. This allows you to access your pay statements and W-2s during leaves of absence or after leaving the company.
Please take a few minutes to set up your security questions in myPay today. Instructions on how to do so can be found here.

I find it strange they sent me this email today. After leaving the company? I did not do the VSP so why now do they want this updated? Anyone else get this email today?

Got an email hour back, wording is weird
“If you are reading this and your role was not impacted, I want you to know : I do not take your for granted.”

Are they sending this people who are rifed or to people who still have Job or both

Weird email to send after hours

Tech is worse today than a year ago. When will Charlie set up the one on one?

With all the doubt around the campus I sent my resume for a role. Turns out the role, through an agency, is with my team and the agent sent my resume to my manager. She wants to meet me Monday, can I be fired for looking for other work in this time of uncertainty?

This company can't be trusted. If you make too much money or someone doesn't like you, you're probably a target. In some divisions you have zero job security no matter how good you are. Start looking for a new job now and save up a rainy day fund.

Is that a bad look for the layoff list ?

Does anyone have any visibility or knowledge about the future of project managers in this company? We once had a PMP ( Project Management Practice ).. Moved in and out of Center of Excellence.

Are we part of the target group for firing? Any knowledge of where the future of PMs is headed in the company? Perhaps folks in the US who are closer to organizational decisions can answer.

I feel sad, guilty and burdened. I didn’t choose HR as a career to ruin lives or to help a greedy, mismanaged company do bad deeds. This is not meant to scare and I am fearful to post as I am under NDA but I need to help if I can. In a few weeks there will be another layoff. If you are over 50, overpaid, under performing, or your function can be AI replaced you are at risk. Please be prepared. I will not log into this site again, and I will not be able to provide any more information. I am praying for all of you who may be impacted.

so was told by management that charlie severance has run out and if you get laid off your LOB has to pay it… I suspect more firings in store with no package

I’m considering giving notice of retirement but not sure what would happen after I do. In other words, if I were to give notice that I wanted to retire on October 1, would they fire me right away because I’ve had some poor performance evaluations but today we’re not talking about me leaving the bank. Just didn’t know if by giving retirement notice it might force somebody’s hand. Does anybody have any experience with this issue?

Lack of enough presence in office in Q1 may also be on chopping block next week

My manager skipped this conversation with me. If we didn’t get them are we getting fired?

As a VP, I am required to give 30 days notice to keep RSU and be eligible for rehire. I currently work in controls (second line of defense) but will be joining another competitor bank as an WIM client Advisor.
The last thing I need is ~30 days of no pay due to being let go by WF soon after giving my 30 days notice. What are the chances I will be let go soon after giving 30 days notice?

They just can't get enough people off of payroll. They are now threatening managers if the employee's MOOSE is marked incorrectly. A manager with CLO and MS employees sent out a notification to their employees that while MS might be 2 days, the expectation is 5 days, and that the CLO employees are expected 5 days at the customer site.

There was a big emphasis on MOOSE being correctly coded, and that any telecommuting be preapproved by their manager. The quote was "They aren't losing their job because I don't know where you are"!

So as managers you're not being treated as customer serving managers? Also, how can you tell where your CLO employees are if they are always on VPN?

Just please lets all look out for each other, and do what we are told. It's awful but working in an office beats getting fired for non-compliance and then not having one to work in at all...

After all, it's what we all make of it.

This feels like an Elon Musk moment. Was asked to put in four bullets what my role is with metrics supporting it? Can’t say “Oversees” or anything high level. Is Director level being hit next?

I don't mind going remote again. I just can't tell if that's going to backfire.

So do we think those that are now showing under 60% the last 5 months are going to be fired? Doesn't seem ethical to change it and then use it against us. I was hitting 11 days but that isn't hitting this new 60% goal.

Management seems to be he-l bent on finding reasons to fire you, they never give positive feedback. Only time you hear from them is when they accuse you in the wrong or they find stuff to write you up. They dont coach for success, its coaching to destroy you. Wayfair used to be a decent place to work and management used to be supportive but the new culture is very destructive.

Is PIP a death sentence at Chevron? Is there a point in trying to beat it?

My guess is when FIS ends your contract with Cognizant. That means FIS sc--wed you twice !

My wife and I both work(ed) at the NY, NY hub and our request to relocate to CIC (Charlotte, NC) hub was granted. I went first a few weeks ago to Charlotte and emailed my wife but apparently the wrong email auto populated (I didn't notice). Instead of emailing my wife, I emailed an employee who's husband just passed away. I said "hello honey! There's plenty to do here and it's really hot. Can't wait to see you tomorrow!" Today, I was contacted by HR about harrassment. Even though it was a honest mistake, do you think I will be fired or be put of the next layoff list?

Heads up: My manager said upper management is actively pushing to fire people to save costs and told us to “get ready for the worst.” I’ve been here 5 years, and while last year I didn’t meet some performance metrics, I have documentation showing the assessment isn’t fully accurate. My manager even admitted the pressure is coming from above.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Thought we should share experiences and be prepared.

If anyone here is providing information or screenshots to James Faris at Business Insider, be cautious!

I’ve heard from my VP who knows the identity of one of the informants that they’re watching them and waiting for them to slip up again. I'm told their IP address, document download timings, and personal email logins have all been tracked. They’re waiting to take action and may fire them for gross misconduct.

To James Faris, I know you're probably reading this forum and LinkedIn, cause you reached out there - It’s probably becoming clear why the comms team isn’t supplying you with any quotes for your stories, but some of your informants might lose their jobs.

How is it working for you? Any repercussions?

I see many of my coworkers saying they plan to continue WFH despite the mandate. I'm jealous, honestly. But as the only income for my family, I can't take that chance. If they get fired, do they have a safety net? What's the thinking there? Genuinely curious.

It crosses my mind daily which I know is not healthy. I try not to think about it and focus on my job but I find it impossible to keep the thoughts and fear entering my thoughts.

Give it a month or two.

Is this the same as getting IM? And means the axe is about to fall?
