#layoffs

every single manager has been laid off or fired overnight?

idk which regular employees got canned. anyone have any actual info on what’s happening?

I understand senior management milking this whole game of grabbing cash till it is gone. I also understand older employees staying until social security is close. Perks of vacation time and free travel to events must be great for them. But, how is any second tier lien holder of this debt calculating they will get all their money back?
With stock dropping causing loss in investments and the REAL debt being said it would be closer to 9 billion, what bank would possibly feel ok with this?
Could someone explain this? Are there hidden advantages here somehow.

Hey MW and Executive Leadership,

Man up and address the turmoil and stress you all have caused the company since 2020. Employees are exhausted and morale has hit rock bottom and is still trying to dig lower. Bring some kind of positivity for employees and remember the country and people who have made Chevron successful in its long tenure. Offshoring is not patriotic or right. You have to have some bit of good voice left in your soul. Use SETH to right some wrongs and grow a spine.

Anyone else hearing rumblings of RTO five days a week?

If true, 3M is returning to the Stone Age and this is BB attempt at getting more people to quit. What a joke.

HPE is being reshaped into a leaner networking-and-AI company, and anything that doesn’t serve that thesis is now on the table.

Regarding the layoffs at Centene Corp., the real problem is management, not the boots-on-the-ground employees. There are too many layers of unnecessary management pulling in great salaries. Middle management is mediocre and exclusively focused on metrics and numbers, which is the exact reason we lost so many members—because the resulting quality is deficient and mediocre.

How can anyone focus on quality and caring for the member when they are forced to handle 60 calls daily, just trying to reach that arbitrary quota of 60 members a day? Leadership thinks that because they have a Microsoft pilot, everything is fixed, yet CM Hero remains an outdated piece of trash. I cannot fathom how much they paid for that imbecile piece of software that they are trying to promote.

The issue stems straight from middle management, where there is zero innovation. Moreover, when you look at the staffing mix—such as registered nurses with only two years of college and CNAs—can you expect them to think above and beyond? Many of them do not write English properly, which is plainly evident in the notes that they produce.

JB sent an email earlier this morning notifying folks that Shelby and SD1 are the latest Nike DCs to close. Another victim of outsourcing, these sites are closing in favor of a DHL run 3PL outside of Atlanta that will be activated in May/June 2027.

stock sinking why CEO's nut heads still around? As a stock holder i want them to be fired for their lousy job.

At&t loves a good slogan they can jam down everyone's throats as if that's going to change anything with how terrible the company actually is. Stinkeys "Marketbased Culture" is the latest. "Fast. Friendly. Fixed" is the other and both couldn't be further from reality. Anything to deviate from highlighting the fact that MOST anyone L3 and higher are overpaid, have nothing valuable to contribute and actively waste everyone else's time DAILY. THE ONLY REAL REASON anyone is still working here (and I will say for the majority of people) is the job market is also so trash right now, no one can risk being out of a job for an extended period of time especially if they have homes and families. That whole "just leave" argument is cute though.

I'd avoid this company until the Paramount merger settles. I just got caught up in the layoffs along with several other coworkers. The future is uncertain and job security is low at the moment. I was in a tech position.

If they cut heads and get another $5B in free cash flow? Personally, doesn’t mean you’re smart to just cut heads, anyone could do it. Where are the new products, the innovation, the “I wanna work there” moments? I still fail to understand how Board supports a one-trick pony.

We all know what IBM managers are planning with some people not needes anymore in projects... PIPs and layoffs.

In my department of 25, at least 10 are actively interviewing. The rest are too tired or too scared to start.

Younger hires are coming in, older ones are going out. And the exits don't look like performance issues. It's a shame how little this place cares about institutional knowledge.

There's no such thing as job security here anymore. Just the illusion of it until the next email.

Every town hall, they ask us to trust leadership's vision. But vision doesn't pay the bills when half your team gets laid off. We've watched promises get walked back, strategies flip quarterly, and executives cash out while we scramble. So no, I'm done trusting leadership. I think they let us down one time too many for that.

Three people left last month, two to competitors, one to retirement. Zero backfills. We've just accepted that this is our new normal.

I'm staring at a 401k that took a hit, no retirement in sight, and a skillset that feels outdated. The company I gave 18 years to is shedding people my age like dead weight. I'm terrified. I can't afford to start over at entry-level, but I can't compete with graduates who'll work for half my salary.

The newest notification added 20 more employees to the list of layoffs, bringing the total count to 301 after an initial paring of 49 in February, according to Iowa's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification site.

We're down 30 percent headcount and still expected to deliver the same output. With the VSP and probable subsequent involuntary layoffs, who knows how bad it'll get for those of us left behind. Can someone please tell leadership that people aren't infinite resources?
