I had an interview on Monday that I was really excited about, until they asked me what animal I would be if I could choose. Seriously, what kind of question is that? Why would anyone ask something like that? It's been a while since I last interviewed, is this the norm now?

November 2024, not even 18 months ago.
$24, what were they smoking?
24 cents is looking a lot more likely. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of people. I can only hope Mike Hayford and that whole clown show held onto their shares.

Does This Proposed Agreement Protect Retirees From Financial Ruin?
I have a concern regarding the tentative agreement in the Northeast.
I realize we paid a heavy price in 1989 and, as a result of that sacrifice, were able to keep essentially cost-free medical benefits for the next two-and-a-half decades.
However, uncertain economic times in 2016 resulted in us, fairly or not, shouldering more of the burden, not only the men and women that had 20, 25, 30, 35... years on the job under their belt already, but also the retirees now had to unexpectedly pony up and adjust to this new and unexpected financial burden on a fixed income based on earlier reasonable expectations and assumptions, if I understand correctly.
I am now hearing murmurings about about retiree healthcare skyrocketing, from, say, $60 a month to 10X that amount, $600 a month, for example. I hope these rumors are wrong and that I am needlessly worrying about something that will never come to be.
Are there any guarantees built into this new tentative agreement that shield both our current retirees, as well as those that will eventually be joining their ranks, from the future uncertainty of exorbitant increases that will make affordability a larger hurdle, if not an impossibility, for the elderly who served their union and their company well?
Stock Options
Does anyone receive stock options as part of ACP? In previous years, I was usually granted some options to offset the lower salary, but this year I didn’t receive any at all.
I’m wondering if that signals something, especially given leadership’s strong confidence in investing in AI. Does it mean my role might not be as needed anymore very soon?
Audit
Audit is in either a bad place morally or the talent level is in the gutter.
Audit is complicit in the mess that will be uncovered in 3 years.
Do they have a pulse? Anyone alive out there?
It’s not that hard. Huge mess in Corp Risk.
Are we at the magic headcount number yet?
What is it looking like in these geos:

Lexmark Lean Six Sigma!
Does Lexmark have more Lean Six Sigma belts than legacy xerox? Less? Does 3 Greens still = 1 yellow?
Nike should at least give the option
Most need the money. Some can't give a s--t and would love an optional package to leave.
If it's not really a secret some will be cut, why not offer voluntary layoffs first?
whats with these cubes/workstations?
I'd hate to be paired into a desk where there's no divider. Why not make them all consistent and the same
Just tell us when the hammer drops
The waiting is painful.
Some senior directors have been told timelines.
Please anyone care to share?
How do you actually focus at work when layoffs are coming and leadership has checked out?
Morale is in the gutter, and leadership clearly doesn’t care about keeping people motivated.
It’s ki-ling my ability to concentrate. Everything feels pointless when your work could vanish any day.
For anyone who’s been through this:
• How do you force yourself to stay productive?
• Do you keep performing at a high level, or just coast until it’s over?
Appreciate any realistic advice—especially from people who’ve survived multiple rounds.
Quiet Layoffs?
I keep seeing more and more Cisco employees on Linkedin with "Open to Work" on their photo. Looks like there is quiet layoffs happening.
thoughts on ai leader
what are your thoughts on shanon as the new AI leader compared to savnay? do you think she has a vision to turn it into a core flagship offering or will it remain optional feature with limited adoption?
Dell Pro Max
Increased tickets are being raised for Dell Pro Max line.. heard from PLM that there are major issues Dell world wide…anybody else experiencing this with your customers?
Spend, spend, spend
We have no cash and no money and yet we are spending money on travel and accommodation like we are high rollers even though the tools to collaborate are good. Service Delivery leaders and the Reaper do a WW tour every month (why?) Our CMO recently did a world tour including Lexington (and didn’t even present) and APAC (why?) Our Head of Global Accounts travels for 3 days for a half-day check-in with clients (why? Nothing changes and no new revenue) And our EC Chief Revenue Officer has to move to New York from Europe (why?)
Anyone been told their raise yet?
We are supposed to find out in the next week or so but, am not expecting much....
Hiring freeze
Has anyone else heard of a hiring freeze?
