#question

Verizon won a ruling yesterday that allowed them stop unlocking phones after 60 days. If. an update was pushed to lock all phones that had been unlocked prior to the ruling, could that have caused the supposed authentication issues that are rumored to be the cause of the outage?

Does this mean the whole team is getting fired? or is this just for some team structure change, no invite on calendar. Very anxious

at least I hope so. This is a complete and utter s*its-how.
What is going on?

When will promotion, raise and RSU refresh be notified for Feb 2026 cycle?

I didn’t get anything the first week of January so I’m holding off on applying until the first week of Feb. Ideally I want to time it so I can resign the day the bonuses hit. I wonder if companies know this so are holding back on job listings until then.

I know plenty who received no merit because of that forced rating

We all know layoff season is upon us... again.. What are everyone's guesses?

To start with, I'm betting a LOT of the Maverick folk's, NC included, PM's, Engineers, Sr. Engineers, and managers who were heavily involved will get cut since the OG deadline was pushed back a quarter. JC was NOT happy about this, "to be clear."

• Full remote employees - I feel like at some point Dell HAS to start cutting the full remote's considering they want 100% of the company to be local to an office now.. They are hoping many will quit as remote's are not eligible for promotions or movement but, depending on your IC level... that may not be an issue for a lot of them. Not that dell has been promoting anyways lol.

• Then, ISG/CSG...

• IT - tech support, devs, etc..

• Sales - likely more ISR's and AEs or TSR's. Or they combine a TSR into a one shop stop who does all of those roles lol..

• I'm betting a lot of middle management will be cut this round, which would be directors because the majority of managers and sr. managers were demoted last year...

• Then the over 50 crowd, those who've been there for 15+ years, and those who make way too much money for their grade level.

• Then the rest will be mostly randoms

Anyone curious about the HR led API compensation webinars discussing changes to api from previous years.

I wonder if its neutral impact or negative. They are always messing with our money.

Anyone hear anything more?

Anyone hearing this? Districts will increase average store count. Districts will combine.

Do you think cuts will be determined more by site/location or function? Or both?

Laid off. Anyone else in Tampa?

Tons of cops, building evacuated for hours, teammates who were unable to grab their laptops stuck in the parking lot. Drones flying over the building…and not a word mentioned.

I noticed on Att careers there’s so many job postings for associate directors In several states! Did something happen for this to occur? It’s like 8 job postings they got rid of everyone?

Question in title

At the HTC parking lot. What happened?

Can anyone confirm if virtual workers in Network org were surplus notified?

Will need it to drive the final nail into the Model e coffin. Winter is coming…

There is a lot of knowledge out there. More than a few know about upcoming layoff dates for FIS associates still servicing the FT contract. If not the dates, then the outcome. It would be a real kindness to let those expecting to be laid off know when that might happen. Clearly, this space is being watched carefully by many, spill.

Anyone know?

Does anyone happen to have the employment verification phone # for Edwarth Joneseth?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
A fellow sacked colleague 🫡

Checked Workday and don't see an anything there. Do we wait for a snail mail copy?

Any chance they’ll offer these in 2026?

I heard that this will drop at the 1/23 pay period. Did anyone else hear that too?

I got laid off Feb 2024 in the 10% reduction deal.

I got a W2 for over 20k in earnings- I haven’t received a dime since my severance in Feb 2024.

Anyone else? I don’t want to report this towards my AGI- especially when never received that money.

Does anyone know if TI pays out TBK if you give proper 2 week notice with a quit date? Will they walk you out and still lay you for 2 weeks or do they walk you out and you’re done?

Has anyone found any recent or past layoffs in the WARN reports? If yes, please share the link.

Was in the office today. Oh how life has changed. The offices used to be inspirational and loved way people connected. Now the atmosphere is very negative and all the benefits of cafe are gone.. anyone feel the same way?

Did we get sti on our severance check or is this money still coming

Who else enjoyed the CA and AG show? I've never heard such self serving drivel! These two have proven to be among the most toxic "leaders" in recent memory. SL is too new to know how bad they really are. Her Jepordy farce was a complete flop. Alex, I'll take "tell us your sales superpower for 2 cents."

They have no authority to do anything. Many came up from craft years ago. But things have changed. There’s a lot of room to cut payroll. The irony is that the azz hole that created the problem is now the CEO. When is John Stankey going to be held accountable for his incompetence?

Why are they not offering wfh only employees exit offers and hiring those jobs in the hubs?

How long to get lump sum? I sent weeks a. Go and have not heard back.

Any guesses or specific insights into how earnings will look on the 22nd? Specifically, I’m looking for any and all insider information. TIA!

Curious on everyone's thoughts on the new metric requirements for UM. Just not sure how to break that new barrier.

Is the week of the RTO memo drop supposedly?? Wonder how it impacts people who have been in a virtual job for. Few years.

It feels weird. Anyone else in the 1/9 group feeling out of sorts? I'm sure I'll settle into it. I'll definitely miss some of my co-workers.

And is it wrong to hope things go to cr-p with so many key, long-term resources out the door, myself included?

Manila, Argentina, engine don’t have RTO: they are still hybrid. Why?
What’s the point in the US to have a free for all “find a place” seating?
New spaces are GREAT if you do not care about any ergonomics whatsoever.
When are 1500 office workers moving to 1400 so they can spend $100k+ building floors with glass and non adjustable chairs?

When are the packages coming again?
Makes me so sad - you?
