Exec and other senior leaders… next ones up?

Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB

Upstream CN? BK, RB?
CFO EB -> JG
Downstream AW?
Subsurface JK?
Wells JS?

Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still

MN and ES roles probably just go away and save the company millions


City Budget Faces Cuts and Tax Hike

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has unveiled a budget proposal that includes significant cuts to a violence prevention program and the elimination of over 100 city positions. This plan also necessitates an 11.3% increase in property taxes to address a $32 million budget deficit. The proposal involves merging several city departments and aims to reallocate resources towards community ambassadors. The City Council will now review and negotiate these proposals before a final budget is approved in December.

Request to get RIF accepted

I raised a HR case to get RIF'ed.
In one hour my manager sent me meeting invite. We discussed the terms and on amicable terms my position was made redundant. I was given full severance package as per terms in FIS Handbook.
My Location is Alpharetta, GA.
Just open a case with HR, they will consider it with open mind. In fact, I encourage everyone not happy with current events.


Combination Technician in Southeast District 3

Currently CWA is in active negotiations with AT&T about the new combination technician title being created. The union can’t stop this , the title is coming. What’s being negotiated is the pay and shocker , the company wants to pay the title the same wage scale as all the titles it’s going to replace: WS32. This is a joke. They want the title to do all the dirty work of all other titles combined, which means a much larger skillset , and pay the same wage. The bigger plan though is to sc--w you all out of your severance or “surplus” pay. See , once this title exists , they can and will declare “technological surpluses “ of all the other titles and offer you a position as a combo tech. If you decline , you’re effectively quitting and not eligible to receive a single dollar of surplus or severance pay. How much you want to bet the union allows both the title to be ws32 AND have no protections from the subsequent surplus. This union is weak and will immediately roll over and show its belly.


Elimination List

I have no proof, but I have a feeling those who were approved to leave on 9/4 were already going to get cut.

I have seen many posts with people upset (understandably so), that their separation dates are in 2027. my guess is those in the later groups have positions that were not going to get cut. they have been deemed essential. I do not believe these people will be a part of a future layoff.

it does look like those in certain functions were given later dates?

Advice/Intel from anyone who has been laid off

Hi, I have been feeling super nervous about some of the things I have been hearing around re-orgs within the company and am fairly certain my position will be eliminated.

For those of you who have recently been laid off by CVS for that matter, hoping you can share some wisdom..

How did the process go?
Did you get your bonus from the previous year (if you are eliminated before it is paid out)?
Were you given adequate resources to find another role internally?
Anything specific I should ask the HR person if I do get notified?

Any intel would help. I can see the writing on the wall and trying to get myself as prepared as possible. Thanks in advance!


Tech

My service position was eliminated after 37 1/2 years! I was planning on retiring in a few years, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I landed a great job that respected my field service experience with far better pay! I wished Ricoh had laid me off years before!

The grass IS greener, if your not actively looking to leave Ricoh, you should be! I wasted way to many years in this dying industry.
