Listen finally

Maybe all the downvoting and “you’re crazy” commenting people trolling us will listen. This is easily the 8th time this site has accurately reported when layoffs would occur. It’s not to panic people. It’s to help us prepare. Prepare for transitioning, finances, prepare resumes, start looking at job market. While some may already be doing that, many have a wild fear of change and don’t.

Please let this be your wake up call. You need to be plugged in to your network, expanding it, strengthening it. You need to be touching your resume every couple weeks.


Unemployment Su-ks

I’ve been unemployed for 11 months, and watching people I know announce new jobs or promotions makes me feel smaller every time... I want to feel happy for them, but instead I’m left with envy, frustration, and a quiet sadness that doesn’t really go away.

I’m in my mid-30s with no job, no partner, no kids, and it makes me feel stuck, behind... honestly undesirable. The job market is broken. I’ve done the applications... the final-round interviews, the books, the videos, the advice threads --- and none of it has paid off. i’ve come close more times than I can count... and only to see someone else eventually land the role. I can’t ignore the thought that not being white may be part of it.

If you were stuck here this long and still made it out, what actually helped?

I haven’t given up but i am sooo tired

Current employees, are you planning to stay?

Just curious for those that work here, are you planning to stay and try to ride out the current turmoil? Or actively looking whats out there. Obviously the market is brutal right now that makes switching harder, but I still see a lot of new job posts on LinkedIn, so theres gotta be some companies hiring.


Pack your bags

You’ ve been monitored every minute in office and every key stroke that you type. Writing is on the wall. Not your fault. This is simple math - the company has more than what it can chew. Layoffs will continue through out 2026. Doesnt matter what rating you got. Exceeds rating and promotions mean cr-p as it is relative. Time to upskill and time to work on your resume. Start looking around for a job. Dont wait to be layed off - your severance will not be big anymore - trust me its an exec here. Get out as a hero at your will once you find an opportunity elsewhere.


"How We Work" letters - what's the timeline after a decline to move?

If I decline to move, any ideas on what the timeline looks like to get the official layoff notice? I hear that puts me on "the list" but I'm more curious what that means for timeline / budget purposes. I want to find a new job, but I want to do it in the right order.

Thanks!


Is there a point in trying to get a job at Amazon anymore?

I've always wanted to work at Amazon and I've been applying for a while, but with all the cuts, I'm starting to think there's no point in it anymore. I don't want to leave a somewhat safe position to start a new job even if it is my dream job just to be laid off within months.


Is it me or them?

I have been at T for more than dog years and as I venture into job market, I am seeing hiring managers not having a clue who they want, yet interview me and send instant rejections after the first rounds. I am unsure if these are H1B postings, my tenure at T negatively affecting or my credentials. I am a bit flabbergasted on what to improve on if I can’t even make the first round. How did you overcome this?


Reality Check

As a former U.S. Bank employee with close to 30 years of experience and experienced unemployment.

Recognize

  • You are owed nothing other than your last paycheck.
  • Benefits are better than most other places.
  • Your colleagues are friendly with you but are not your friends.
  • Anyone including you can easily be replaced.
  • The job market is tough even with high demand skills.
  • Leadership acts on behalf of the shareholders. You should too.
  • Age discrimination is real.
  • RTO is not about you.
  • Business has nothing to do with morality.

You should:

  • Appreciate your paycheck
  • Not complain…not to anyone.
  • Learn and leverage AI.
  • Use all available resources at U.S. bank and anywhere else to improve.
  • Work hard and do your best while you’re employed.
  • Side hustle or develop passive income streams.
  • Stop being entitled.
  • Not share your personal baggage or health issues.
  • Not compare yourself to anyone.
  • Know your worth and find a place that recognizes it.

I am not posting to say what is right or wrong l. All I can say is that it is better to su-k it up and collect a paycheck than having your pride on the unemployment line.


What am I going to do?!

I've lost my voice from p!$$!ng and moaning about losing my job. My fingers are raw and cramped from posting here and on other forums. My extended family won't have anything to do with me. My wife is threatening to leave me! I haven't been able to find another job. What do I do????


mental health - need help

I dont know what is wrong with me. I feel like I will go crazy because of anxiety. I dont have family and I can only rely on myself. I am so worried I wont be able to find another job. And staying home all day is driving me crazy. I dont know what to do. I apply everyday but no interview so far.


Available job list for your stuck DXC Colleagues?

Hi, I've been reading about all the disappointments here re long-awaited pay raises for a while. It's clear that management is just taking us for a ride and there will never be any meaningful raise anytime soon.

How about instead of us all whining about the inevitable, we post available jobs based on what we hear from friends & family to help out those who are stuck in DXC? You could be in IT but hear about an accounting job available or delivery for example, just donate some info here. There is linkedin, Indeed, etc but sometimes inside info is more timely.

What do you say?


Job search

I just had an interview!! The job itself is remote and out of the hundreds of applicants, they chose my resume because they saw Wells Fargo on it. So just FYI, Wells Fargo still carries some power in the hiring world. 💅✅


Stop Waiting

Stop waiting and do something about it. Update the resume, start looking and leave. There is life after Cigna / Evernorth or whatever it's called. It's one of the best things I've done! The stress you're putting yourself through is just not worth it. Good luck! You're welcome!


If you haven’t figured it out yet……

TMO does not give a sh-t about anyone. The we are a people first company mantra they constantly push is complete BS. TMO is a profit and growth first company, we the people are nothing more than a means to that end.

If you have not been impacted by any of the layoffs, don’t get comfortable and think that you’re safe. It’s only a matter of time before we are all walking out the door.

Update your résumé, and start applying for jobs now. The average job search is 6 to 9 months in this economy. Starting your job search now gets you ahead of that curve and if you get an interview, it helps you shake off the cobwebs and fine tune in your interview skills if it’s been a while. If by chance you get a job offer, you can always say no thanks.

Stop drinking The magenta Kool-Aid, you’re only going to get run over by the magenta bus in the end.
Stop believing all of the BS that Srini, Katz, Frier, King, etc spew they’re telling you what they want to hear to increase their bank accounts.


Project: Resume RevampAdvice for job hunting in the AI world.

I learned from a recruiter yesterday that when you submit an application to a job board etc., do not put work history on your resume over / past 20 years. Apparently, the AI screening tools will automatically reject the resume if "they" see anything older than 20 years. Good luck out there!

I will have to re-do my resume!

Remember

People who are:
Conscientious
Educated
Loyal
Ethical
…often suffer more in systems that quietly reward politics.
You didn’t fail the system. The system failed you.
That realization is painful — but also freeing.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are transitioning out of a place that could not hold you with integrity.

Onward and Upward!


Shell Chemical Earnings..time to look for a new job

Just looked at the earnings for Shell’s chemical business coming up and margins dropped from 160 to 140 a metric ton, obviously giving the business a significant loss on top of the business already struggling. I think this is pretty much the last straw and Shell will either be closing or fire selling all chemical assets to stop the bleeding. Any thoughts?
