#hr

My boss set up a casual coffee chat to catch up in one of the corner meeting rooms. Halfway through the conversation HR and security walks in and I’m told I’m being let go.

WTF is this cowardice move, at least have the decency to lay people off in a respectful manner

Does anyone know what the different band levels mean? Can’t seem to find any info on it, HR directed me to my LOB. If you are band 6 and go to 5 is that a promotion, do your benefits change? I saw a band 7 posting making more than a band 6.

Is there a cool down period after layoff at Oracle. If I got terminated and collected my severance , how long before I get rehired ?

No new ideas so let's just keep flip-doing back and forth on things that don't matter.

I'm sure there are gonna be a bunch of 2s given out, though, to send the message that Bill Brown thinks you su-k but we're not ready to fire you just yet.

Is BCBS is actively working with a consulting company that assisted with the previous round of layoffs? If so who?

Is WFS even taking the time to read people's requests for accommodations? They are denying people with no explanation. How many cases are being sent straight to the trash can?

After being a Star Performer till mid year, I was handed a PIP for the latter half of the year and put in Groupo 5 and served PIP. Through out the PIP for 2 months, HR did not show up even once, and after 60 days, I was terminated with notice period.
Again, HR was not involved at all. Is this normal?

FYI for ex-BNY Massachusetts employees…

In Massachusetts, if an employer fails to pay your accrued vacation time when your employment ends, you are entitled to treble damages on the unpaid amount, not just the interest on the late payment. This penalty, known as a treble damages award, is a powerful remedy under the Massachusetts Wage Act. If the employer eventually pays the vacation time late, the employer may have to pay trebled interest on that late payment, but this is separate from the treble damages for the unpaid wages.
What is the Massachusetts Wage Act?
Under the Massachusetts Wage Act, MGL c. 149, § 148, earned and unused vacation time is considered wages.
When an employee is terminated, all final wages, including vacation pay, must be paid on the day of termination.
If an employee resigns, the payment is due by the next regular payday.

I do not believe our crack 1-800 HR people team are following this law for MA employees…

High time that emp revolt by inundating people team with reports of unfair and discriminatory practices all around if infact that is what is occuring. Inundate both human resources and local senators and Dol...appears careers and lives are being destroyed through emp exploitation based on feedback here. when business is good there is no good reason for such low ethical and frankly unlawful means.

Husband laid off over two weeks ago from Dell and still getting excuses about paperwork delays. We're in a limbo holding pattern. No idea of the insurance/cobra (they also cut off our insurance a week before he was laid off). Nearly 19 years of work...to treat him like this.

Read an HR post that they were due yesterday, is that confirmed?

One of our core values is 'Embrace Change '. And you will be penalized if you don't. Any concerns voiced about the negative impact of some changes get you referred to HR for a talking to about teamwork.

It does not seem like they are as concerned about being a great place to work for all as they are about putting on a show about it. A real shame as they used to be great.

Stop letting the supervisors and managers in here fear you into not doing the survey, or giving false good scores. The systems registers if you took it but the answers are anonymous. Unless you wrote out very specific details or a situation and drop names they will not know it’s you. They won’t give you a bigger bonus, they won’t give you a better yearly review. Be honest and if you fear retaliation reach out to HR and document, document, document. If you want a better work place SPEAK UP! You can’t cry and moan the environment is cr-ppy if you’re going to willing lay in it.

P24 seems like a golden age now that Project Mongoose is in effect. Instead of (for most countries) voluntary redundancy, your name and role are on a list. Works council stated this will be an annual thing. So much for the feeling of community at SAP. Also when did the T4 level become poison? Speaking informally with HR T4 positions are not really sought after. T1, T2 highly sought. It's brutal out here now.

Any news of any layoffs in HR?

I applied for a software program for my disability. The HR site said my team or boss would not be notified - it's confidential. Fast forward a year and boss takes an accounting of all software charged to team account. "Hey, what's this? It's assigned to you?"

Rumors are getting strong that there will be big layoffs in Q4 2025. HR is preparing the lists. Each VP got a target number for their department. It will be a sad Xmas season for a LOT of people.

Sounds like it is going to be a quarterly thing from now.

Glad they are finally addressing the problem with all the under performers.

We currently have a contingent contractor from "1nF0$y$" working in our department. His role appears limited to issuing written instructions to permanent staff, and he does not contribute to any other operational tasks. His primary engagement seems to be attending private meetings with the Senior Director.

The Senior Director originally from India and now a U.S. resident through an H-1B visa followed by marriage to a fellow Senior Manager in the same department is reportedly receiving commissions for onboarding contractors from "1nF0$y$". Multiple sources have raised concerns about this arrangement.

Contractors brought in under this setup often exhibit inappropriate behavior, acting with undue authority and attempting to influence permanent staff. When questioned or held accountable, they respond with hostility and escalate complaints to the Senior Director. In turn, the Senior Director convenes meetings targeting the permanent staff and delivers reprimands, creating a hostile and retaliatory work environment.

These practices raise serious concerns regarding compliance with U.S. labor laws and ethical standards. Immediate intervention is warranted from Human Resources, College Relations, Ethics, and Legal departments to investigate and address these potential violations.

Buried at the bottom of leadership moves happening with Wealth is the news that Mona Vernon is coming over to Wealth to "focus on customer and product offerings." This is happening in mid-December.

Will the replacement be internal or external? Will they be able to boost moral?

The constant sprinkling of RTO letters and little groups of layoffs paired with zero information is exhausting.

They should just do it and get it over with. All this game playing just motivates workers to stay out of fear of the job market or out of spite to get all the money they’re owed.

What is the waiting period before one can move?

Heard there are very limited promotions this year and that HR is making the decisions based on data. No input from supervisors.

I’m leaving, I just want to know do I inform HR or my manager? My department is toxic, stressful and chaotic.

The person on either side of me on the same team were called into HR.
They both came out crying they didn't even have the decency to lay them off individually they did it as a dam group!

Who saw that one coming? Ki-ling the golden goose is never good for longterm stability.

I am in HR. I haven’t heard anything about 4 days or 8 hours? Anyone else in HR hear about this? Does it apply to the HR LOB?

Did anyone else get the Warn notice and then HR trying to claw back the email.

HR accidentally sent me a layoff notice and try to retracting it they already went to my cell phone. It happens the end of this week and I'm calling in sick with all my sick time and using FMLA.

MG is coming for your pension. Total comp is also going to be based more on “performance.” Aka, your mgr will have even more impact on your comp.

Got another frustrating non-answer from the transition email (similar to my HR conversation), and my leadership has gone dark. Has anyone gotten any sign of a deadline here for getting your things back? I assume they're having the team admins facilitate, but have gotten no info whatsoever other than it's being "mailed" back. I have some things in my office that will be tough to ship...I suppose that's their problem, but I do want my things and to fully close out this bogus transaction!

JPL employees warned of October layoffs during reorganization

https://nasawatch.com/personnel-news/jplers-get-layoff-update-letter/

Companies and locations: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - Pasadena CA, JPL Human Resources

JPL staff received an HR email referencing a Phase Two reorganization and potential layoffs in October, with warnings that a large portion of the workforce could be impacted by mid October 2025. The note also referenced return to office requirements for remaining teleworkers.

Employees were advised to update personal contact information and to move personal items off JPL devices, highlighting the seriousness of the restructuring timeline.

Managers are aware of who will be impacted in Oct/Nov. HR has the lists already. Does anyone know if the names are set in stone?

What do we think about HR selections?

Does any one know what it means to be Enrolled lin my work stands for. This is located under your work location in the directory name
