Discover/CapOne has gotten to the point of telling employees if they don’t like how the merger is going they can quit.
Rant
These are my opinions only from what I’ve heard from people at Discover. Not working for them and don’t speak for them. Only know what I’ve been told by many people scared to speak up.

The merger has been an absolute disaster. I’ve seen people give out feedback on it only to get shut down and threatened with termination over it.

They went from preaching how this is going to be great for consumers and employees, to now saying well this is how mergers goes and if you’re upset you need to get over it or quit.

They say they welcome any feedback but when you do try to give feedback you get AI responses and then told you’re being too negative if you don’t shut up and it’ll lead to termination if it continues.

Don’t see this going well for employees at all. Kinda seems like they’re trying to get rid of as many people as they can.

Paul Taylor was named President of DXC Technology, assuming the role from Raul Fernandez, who will continue as Chief Executive Officer.

Thoughts?

I guess those assets in Angola we are selling off aren’t technically being layed off.
But, probably a good thing to get out from under Chevron while they can.

Who’s next. APAC?

We have been in the news so much as of late as we are making deals left and right. I have a good feeling about the direction we are heading in.

IBM features prominently in Sabine's new video.

Selling, but leasing back for 15 years is what I've heard.

Anyone else see the news article out of Oklahoma City (KFOR news) uncovering emails from top executives related to SF claims practices Would not be surprised if some resignations and/or additional insurance commissioner investigations result from this.

Verizon new ciso! Something going on....

Verizon hikes prices on multiple discounted offers for customers
Aug 24, 2026 7:17 PM EDT

https://www.thestreet.com/retail/verizon-raises-prices-disney-streaming-bundles

"The pricing changes came after Verizon CEO Dan Schulman vowed to be more cautious about enforcing price increases following the loss of roughly 2.25 million wireless customers over the past three years. He reaffirmed this promise on an earnings call in July."

“We will not raise prices without adding corresponding value for our customers,” said Schulman.

"On its website, Verizon states that the rate adjustments take effect on Sept. 17 and blames Disney for these upcoming changes."

BP severance was “deselected” by BP but no new package received from Stonepeak yet.

Any news on SMS layoffs?

I just heard that some RVP’S were on the chopping block, about to be canned, or were already canned. What’s the skinny on it?

COS Office is closing in November

Is there anything coming next week?

What's going on?

Anything concrete?

How long does this leadership think we can keep getting these PR hits and getting away with it?

Tulsa's KJRH TV station has significantly reduced its workforce as part of a strategic pivot by its parent company. The layoffs are concentrated in roles like newscast directors, producers, and photojournalists. This move aligns with E.W. Scripps' national strategy to prioritize 24/7 streaming news over traditional studio broadcasts. The company aims to deploy more journalists into the field and deliver news faster across digital platforms. While linear broadcasts will continue, the emphasis is shifting to a digital-first model.
