Rumor has it that IT is due for another round of layoffs. Does anyone Dir+ know what teams or functions they’ll be targeting or timeframe?

Why do all internal websites now take ages to load?

So what do you think they will tell us at the “cross tenant” podcasts?

Will they start by apologizing for tanking the company and making us look like id--ts to our customers?

I can't tell you how many hours are lost every day because of faulty network or connection issues. I won't report them anymore because they go into a bottomless pit.
I just sit and stew about it. and if I'm doing that and everyone else is doing the same, think of the thousands of hours down the drain .
Such a waste. But then again, what do you expect from S running the group.

Shutdown the IT hub in Portugal?

wondering if corp tech in nyc is effected tomorrow.

Find this funny and ironic this notification going on for months on the employee IT support slack channel. Looks like Ai agents ate going a great job after getting rid of humans.

So did AIG move from Cognizant to Mphasis for IT support

Brace yourselves for potentially massive layoffs. This is reportedly confirmed by a senior IT source. And, of course, AI will likely get the blame.

If you've been working after hours, you might want to consider spending some of that time looking for alternatives and preparing for what's next.

20 cut from IT this week- almost all of them are over 40. and that’s on G4 side after months of hearing we would be unscathed. trying to meet numbers no matter what it takes…

Looking to transfer to a different team within IT. Decided to browse the internal job board to see whats out there. Mainly concerned with WLB/limited stress. Is Cyber fairly laid back? What about infratructure/OCC? Or maybe being a DBA? Or working with the Workday team? Appreciate any thoughts!

How is your experience?
For me it's been 3 weeks unable to access Oracle network. My ticket is still awaiting resolution and my colleague is following up on behalf of me. I didn't work for nearly 2 weeks.
Ai agent is keep generating responses that is not resolving the issue.
Calls to talk to a real human is taking a long time.

80 people laid off 8/11/2026) in IT support and PACs (imaging). They outsourced the work to a company called "Infinite". They signed a multi-year contract with Infinite. The workers have had to work along side them for the last several months. The workers from Infinite have little health care experience.

No clear info yet; more info coming next week.

That is all.

I miss the old days. I miss the Call Centers. I miss having my own server farm.

Now, I’m a member of the Borg.

How’s this going to affect DDAT, ETPRM, TPS, ITST damn so many acronyms and whoever else was under her.

PeaceHealth is outsourcing its information technology services to India-based Tech Mahindra. This move aims to modernize IT functions, including service desk support. While leadership of IT strategy and cybersecurity will remain with PeaceHealth, some local IT roles will be eliminated. The company confirmed these layoffs will occur after November, though the exact number of affected positions is not yet clear. PeaceHealth stated that impacted caregivers will receive transition support.

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.

What a drag.

After all these years, I end up at Infosys.

IT sure isn't what it used to be.

Make John Saw responsible for both Core Network and IT and it fails. Typical. Most overrated person in the mobile space ever.

He says he's learning and no immediate changes are coming but lets be for real

Anyone heard about IT rebadging? It seems it is coming soon.

What do the Attrition metrics for IT look like? I know its by design to get rid of Americans, but it seems much worse than anything ive seen.

Just curious, does Ally do heavy outsourcing or participate in a lot of H1B hiring? Especially in the tech department/group?

At what point do we get to give real feedback on Teams and M365? I’m ready to let them know IT SU-KS! I’ve never felt so chaotic, unorganized, constantly interrupted, and overlooking messages (I’ve never done that!).

I don’t even open the silly group pings at this point (whatever they’re called).. our team has created 5,428 different group chats with similar acronyms- how the heck can we keep this straight!?! And the 500 training decks that they share are useless if you don’t have time to spend days reading and learning this insanely chaotic platform (please STOP sharing “helpful decks”.. it’s not helpful!).

And don’t get me started on the fact that we’re encouraged (forced) to put everything in a “group chat”.. so now nobody can find the documents and they keep messaging asking you to forward it to them again. What’s the point!? Just send it in an email!!

This is ridiculous and we need to let them know it’s not working!

Entire enterprise IT stack for Optum tech down from 10PM to 4AM 100% outage across all cloud providers and regions. Not the first time this has happened. Not the second, or third either. The only way teams got out of it was by completely disabling CloudFlare.

We were forced to shift to this cloudflare architecture in 2025 and it has caused more p1s and enterprise impact by itself in this short time than I have seen in my entire career.

RCA? Pssh. We already gave them the cash. They dont care! Theyre claiming the entirety of Optum got flagged by a DDoS rule. Oops!

Leaders like PW who think moving off of the mainframe and full speed to the cloud will solve IT problems are in for a rude awakening.

IT for workday processed scripts for layoffs this week. Everything for Q2 financials was processed and locked Saturday and right after the severance scripts ran. Expect Thursday to be triggered and for impacts to happen. VPs and Sr. Directors were informed who is on the list since Friday afternoon around 3pm est. Not sure when all other leaders below will be told, but Google AI seems to think sr. managers with minimal direct reports are in danger.

Sounds like the CIO needs some additional funds to furnish his new lake home from Accenture and Infosys so he needs to send more money their way

Well folks, here we go again. More bad news from Estero. Entire IT functions being dismantled and outsourced to India. Last time this happened was a disaster.

Financial gymnastics continue to accelerate.

When is the next shoe dropping?

About two months ago I took my laptop into the laptop center here in Everett and asked the IT contractor guys to remove Outlook and Teams from my laptop. They asked me why I wanted them to do that? I told both guys at the counter I was tired of deleting Outlook emails all day or seeing a Teams meeting starting in 5 minutes message pop up on my screen and wanted Outlook and Teams removed. Both IT guys told me they could not remove Outlook or Teams. One of the IT guys said even if they did uninstalled Outlook from my laptop, it would auto reinstall itself the next time, I logged on my laptop.

My hard drive crashed about three weeks ago and Outlook, Teams or Edge won't even start up now. In fact, I can no longer log on to my laptop.
I'm going to see if I can go until the end of the year before I go back to the laptop center and act surprise telling them my hard drive suddenly broke.

here we go again. IT is cutting jobs.

Is this true?

Anyone know how it’s getting on. Heard it’s not going too well. Taken us back to the 90’s

Real talent cost as much as PHK.

I work in IT in US and have started actively looking. I have a first interview lined up next week. I am treating it as more of a warm up interview to get a feel for the market. I haven't interviewed in 7 or so years.

Kind of tough that so many companies hire but are also doing layoffs at the same time.
