A friend of mine still with IBM said his was much more than expected. Did Alvind and the PipMunks get more charitable?

Should I be getting paid more?
I’m a sales associate with well rounded retail experience and knowledge. I swap posters in beauty and fragrances when the VC is away. I was given holiday seasonals to train without being a seasonal captain..I also get ask to tell employees what to do and even to reprimand them. How should I go about addressing this issue? Should I be getting paid more? any input would help.
Insider sale
Why on Earth do insiders in Qualcomm keep selling their stock holding like crazy, and then go pump the stock in the interviews and praise the future of the company ?
Someone should question them in the next AHM, especially MF Akash who has been selling a lot over the last few months.
FYI: Qualcomm insiders reduced their holding by 44% over the last year !
NDE SERVE Intercompany Clearing
While scheduling a meeting I noticed some coworkers’ roles had that string added to their role. Does anyone here know what it means?
Why not just buy BofA?
If Ally wants a bigger footprint in the banking world, why aren’t we just buying Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc?
What does it mean when people say everyone will be laid off except 1%?
Title.
What do you mean by 1%?
What is the endgame here?
Is it to make working conditions so insufferable that people quit en mass to avoid dreaded WARN notices? Are we clearing the way for the inevitable deployment of AI? Are we simply attempting to pump up the stock price at any cost while waiting on our golden parachute to deploy?
Did anyone else notice that all of the slack number posts have disappeared
Did Oracle decide that this was IP and got them removed?
How many hours is a day
How many hours does an individual need to stay in the office to count as a day?
Severance - Years of Service Calculation?
If you're months away from the next year, will they increase it by 1, or only give you full years served?
Are the newly remotes at greater risk of getting laid off?
I don't mind going remote again. I just can't tell if that's going to backfire.
Is it possible to volunteer for layoffs?
I need a break, and I wouldn't say no to severance.
Is anybody else getting their projects taken midway?
If not, how sc--wed am I?
Official discussion channel
Is there an official channel where the rto stuff can be discussed?
Valued?
Are you being valued in Value?
Tell the truth. Is it all rainbows and sunshine or…?
The “list”
Where’s the attendance list? Is it actually a thing or just a scare tactic to get people in the building. Inquiring minds want to know.
Mean Girls fight scene
Take a long scroll through the posts today. Look at what this is doing to employees who I bet would hold doors, chat around the water cooler, laugh on TEAMS together. This reminds me of the Mean Girls massive fight scene where she imagines them all like safari animals. We turned on each other instead of where it needs to go. Why?!
$6 Chicken
I currently live on $5 chickens, but I’m moving to the hub and I’m considering paying the extra dollar for the work chicken. Does anyone have an ingredient list? I prefer eating clean and hope this will reduce my trips to the store. I’m particularly interested in comparing the taste, size, and ingredients of these chickens to Costco chickens.
Ivanti log in while in office showing 0 days in office.
Newish employee. Prompted to log in ivanti while in office. I just work off my laptop not the monitors. Report is showing me as in office 0 days. Why is this? Stressed out over here!!
PIP/unemployment benefits question
If an IBM employee is put on a PIP - say for example - Seller not making their quota (assuming nothing else was a problem), and the employee is terminated as a result of the PIP, will IBM fight unemployment pay? I have received conflicting information. One person was adamant that the only ways to not be able to claim unemployment are 1) the employee quit on their own 2) insubordination.
Where the heck did this 6hr thing come from?
I do not understand.
A standard work day is 8 hrs. Why all of a sudden are people so stuck on 6 hrs in the office? Shouldn’t it be 8?
Since when have we ever had a 6 hr workday?
Associated Citi companies - losing severance if employed by these
Anyone know what the acquiring company, chosen outsourcing company, participating companies are for Citi which would allow Citi to revoke severance?
Any difference between working for TIAA and Nuveen?
Looking at applying for an internal role as a current TIAA employee, I see a few Nuveen roles. Curious if there’s any changes if being a Nuveen employee or if it’s virtually the same.
First Quarter?
First quarter is over. How are things looking?
What is GEORGE?
Is this a Chevron Claude ripoff ENGINE made?
TAAP Sync
How’s it going in 2026?
Corporate Risk Structure: Wells Fargo vs. JPMorgan?
For those familiar with both organizations, how does the Corporate Risk structure at JPMorgan Chase differ from Wells Fargo today? There have been some mentions of aligning more closely with how organizations like JPMC structure their risk functions. Curious if anyone has visibility into what that could look like in practice.
Layoffs in EACX?
Does anyone know why there was a big fire drill in EACX yesterday? Are they using this information to gear up for layoffs?
S-T leaving?!
Pushed or walked?
Which orgs have been hit so far?
If you have info, please share. And good luck to everyone.
Who wants to speak up about the Voyix assets contract?
I won't mention particulars about this since a touchy topic in legal realms but, not looking good for any US employees. Input from the crowd?
Just me?
It feels like we are just playing a new meta… “look how much we are using AI for everything! Omg it’s amazing!”
Meanwhile, I’m dying to work on any customer problem. 😆 is it just me or are we in crazy town?
Incoming Intern - what to expect?
What to expect, and how is the company right now? Especially in Global Tech in Charlotte? Curious on people's opinions and advice, especially for someone in my position.
I see this page is always buzzing with various discussions on anything and everything, so I figured it'd be interesting to hear people's honest feelings on the state of things.

Genuinely curious. Is anyone actually using AI agents in their day-to-day work?
No need to give specifics, but I am just curious about everyone's experience with AI outside of conversational chat, so I'm not talking about prompting Copilot to help with summarizing stuff, helping debug a coding problem, or writing user stories... I mean like actually using Copilot agents to streamline tasks, etc.. I've found that in all the cases where we've tried to chase down AI tools or agents, all the ideas have failed to be implemented properly or are still ongoing, but not very hopeful about the end result.
I'm not anti-AI because I know that Copilot chat can be helpful, but when we get a push to add AI in everything, it's like we always go towards the conversational chat components and not in the other direction of actually innovative solutions like agents, etc. I am open to learning more since this seems to be the future, but I just haven't seen the return on investment from my perspective.
