Background check

Hi ,got laid off last year ... I am seeing a pattern, so far interviews I reached 2nd round and no news then..these are not interviews which didn't went well, I was told it's a layoff restructuring but of course like many other I had bitter relationship with my manager..is it possible to mark my profile which may create chaos in background?


Oh the Delicious Irony

How deliciously ironic that the same deluded Negative Nellies on this site threatening to sue the company over loss of NRE are the same trolls claiming retiree benefits have no value. No value, no damages, no case.

Get a grip people. Retirement benefits have tremendous value and if you lose them at age 54, it’s because of something you did, not some conspiracy that the company is out to get you. The DW that never gave a damn about you as an employee is the same DW who doesn’t give a damn about whether or not you wet your beak in the retiree benefits pool on your way out the door.


SpaceX in the wireless spectrum battle.

TMO already partners with SpaceX. Not sure how ATT will respond but I’m certain VZ will once again fail, as they did with the iPhone years ago. Leaders will tell us it’s nothing to worry about and use word salad and elaborate slide decks to propagandize their message. Some will clap and take photos in a red chair while writing on a post it note. The rest of us will patiently wait for our impending severance.

Good news?

Curious has anyone been around long enough to remember the last time corporate gave the employees some good news? Feel like its been nothing but bad news the last 10 years. Offices closing, forced moves across the country, returns to office, replaced with people overseas, forced realignments due to corporates unwillingness to staff and retain properly.

Id say the last "good news" was us working from home during COVID, which wasnt exactly good news but maybe the only positive change I've seen in like 15 years. Ok i guess they did the math and so few people were having children they increased maternity benefits like 5 years ago.....

Cant wait for this weeks bad news meeting either way.

Can anyone explain why such high turnover in claims has been acceptable for so long? Assuming they will be moving people from jobs that are not 100% horrible to a claims department that is.


Stupid investments like retail threaten real work

Upon examining our retail outlets, I am compelled to express my reservations regarding the investment made in these products. The design appears to be a marketing strategy, potentially conceived by a marketing professional masquerading as a retailer. It is highly probable that these items are underperforming on a substantial scale. This raises the question of why we engage in such investments while simultaneously laying off genuine talent. There is no way these stores will ever compete with Apple. Now that Apple has rumored the imminent release of its AI glasses, it is only a matter of time before this becomes another failure.


IBM to reduce 20% of workforce in Slovakia

The US technology group IBM has begun a new round of job cuts in Bratislava, with hundreds of roles at risk as the company continues to scale back its workforce in Slovakia.

Slovakia’s labour office has recorded a planned reduction of 439 positions in the business services sector following a notification submitted in mid-March.

Selling SAP shares during blackout period

I read the rules around blackout period but I am asking for advice on how they are enforced. Obviously the SAP share price will keep dropping because there is no SAP strategy besides failing at AI and laying off employees and share buybacks. And we did not even get decent salary appraisals this year. I am low on money and thinking of selling SAP shares just to be able to pay my mortgage and not have to worry about basic necessities. I am not sure how things are in the US but here in Europe, everything is getting more and more expensive. And other companies are not hiring or they are simply laying off. What are the real implications of selling shares during the blackout period? I do not have a high role at SAP and I do not know enough to be considered as someone doing insider trading. I just want to be able to pay my bills. Is there legal action that SAP can take if I sell them before the earnings call? I am also afraid that the share price will go even lower because shareholders are understanding that SAP's executive board has failed. And giving shareholders a higher dividend by laying off employees is not seen by them as longterm success of a company. So I want to get them out before the price goes below €100. Please advice what I should do.


Avaya Patent Sell-Offs

How do you earn some quick cash when you've already shrunk the workforce? Sell off your Intellectual Property! You have to wonder why they weren't sold to Extreme Networks back in 2017 when Avaya sold off its failing <Ahem... non-core 😂) networking business.

No more RIF for next 8 months

No more RIF for next 8 months from Oracle but expect some performance based layoffs in mid-year. Here are the things you should note

  1. Keep minimum 2 projects in your portfolio
  2. Ensure you work with your customers. (don't rely on your lead or manager for inputs)
  3. Maintain good relationship with your manager peers
  4. Talk less. Don't share your stuff with anyone.
  5. If project is not viable or repetitive, just move on

    AI is helpful for you to deliver things quickly but makes you d-mb in outside market. You get into a loop always without reason because AI does the reasoning for you.
    Use AI to remain competitive to deliver in project but don't rely on it for ever. Remember management will push AI usage to automate your work completely and stabilize it.
    Once project is stabilized you are out of game.


Technical expert = avoid layoffs ?

As much as there are reasons to complain and I have a lot of them myself, the flexibility I have working at Dell's data center teams is kind of amazing compared to my counterparts in GCP, OCI, AWS who work 50-80 hours. I mostly average 30 hours a week.

I make less than those guys but it's still six figures. I get to automate a lot since we have windsurf too now.

I'd like to just climb all the way up to Distinguished Eng or at least Staff Eng.

I'm curious if I just keep being technical, would a potential 30 year path work at Dell ?


Living in constant fear of layoffs is beyond depressing

Most of us are already juggling spouses, kids, parents, mortgages, and a never-ending stream of bills. I hate this job, truly. But I'm not confident I could find another one, especially not fast enough to keep up with everything I have to cover. I don't want my job to be about layoffs, and I don't want my life to be only about this job. But that's where we are, and it's only getting worse. I honestly don't know how to keep managing this.


The TRP Culture is Dead (Long Live the FNMA Culture)

It is alarming when senior people are leaving TRP and they are leaving because the culture is dying. It started when they brought in Kimberly Johnson (COO) and it has gone progressively worse with leaders like Ramon Richards and Chris LePre. The culture has been replaced with what employees in Tech called the FNMA culture (which is where Kimberly and Ramon have come from). These leaders have no regard for associates and have brought in a culture of divisiness and toxicity. Associates are fearful of losing their jobs and so do not bring up concerns. Bringing up any concerns brands and tarnishes you as a naysayer by these leaders with fragile egos. What is concerning is that the most senior leaders at TRP are aware of this toxic culture but have done nothing about it, most likely because everyone is just too worried about negative outflows. What they need to realize is that if they don't fix the culture (and soon) they will continue to lose talent and the ship will continue to sink and by then it will be too late. There needs to be leadership changes in order to fix this issue.


Building Closures?

I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.


LAS deadline approaching

On April 15, 2026, every file-based Citrix license stops working. The new License Activation Service (LAS) is a cloud-based control mechanism.
No more on-premises static license files - install and forget - but external cloud dependency, connectivity testing, failover validation, etc. In some highly regulated business, it creates an architectural problem requiring more effort.
And LAS does not work with older versions of Citrix products: some big organizations have to upgrade their entire Citrix stack, and install all kind of patchs, sometimes provoking problems of ... license expiration.

I see customers complaining about the lack of support, probably overwhelmed by requests to solve the problems created by this new LAS.
And also customers questioning the costs of this LAS migration, that is imposed to them, for more constraints and no tangible benefit. Mandatory stay on supported versions. Citrix telemetry to verify usage data. Compliance checking. And wondering if the effort to migrate to another platform would not be better.

Sometimes I think that Citrix management is doing all they can to lose customers. Customers layoffs I suppose.


Who Is Smarter? Our Execs or A Pile Of Rocks

So we are moving back South of the Red River from the great OKC metroplex Me thinks our Execs or running neck and neck with a pile of rocks for being incompetent bo--s. Spend the money to move me to OKC then spend money to move me back to Spring. What a waste and that money should be paid for from their annual bonuses.

Oh and rumor has it that layoffs in Spring are gonna help pay for relo. Make it make sense. What a d-mb timeline for us.

Wonder why CHK and SWN went bankrupt or pink sheet stock. Look at the numb nuts running it.


TR putting highly tenured employees on plans to avoid paying severance

How is HR or someone at the top think this is a good idea. Several highly tenured employees are being put on 30 plans who have never received warnings or prior poor ratings. If this is the plan to move out employees without paying severance, this should be illegal. #concern #ageism #unethicalHRpractice #values #ethics
