#question

For those who have moved jobs internally, did the recruiter reach out to coordinate an interview with the hiring manager or did the hiring manager reach out directly to you? Also how long did it take to hear that you made it to the next round after your initial HR screening. Thanks!

Heard rumors that a few Grade 16 or higher roles without direct reports will be impacted due to re org and low level roles will be created to fill same positions for cost saving
Can anyone confirm if this is true?

All his direct reports are gone?

I have seen folks say both ways. For us off boarded 12/19, was the 2025 STI included on the lump sum, or do we get it at the end of Feb 2026 when the percentage is available like normal? Did they just assume full pay out for us?

Can anybody explain how Bus Ops. fits under MSU? Makes absolutely no sense. All of these organizational charts and acronyms are just fluff. It’s all smoke and mirrors to divert your attention away from the incompetence.

Anyone else get the feeling that Accenture is drawing out this launch to delay their impending layoff? I can’t wait until we are done with these excel jockeys!

What’s going to happen? How’s it going to be in the new Honeywell?

It’s an exciting time. What new talent will join this great company?

April - will there be showers?

Did those in the know find something out that the rest of us won't know for a couple more days...? How's Flight 2 going... :-0

The internal severance document only applies to Sr. Manager and below.

What’s the severance package for Directors and above?

Can people who landed fullstack jobs outside this company share their preparation experience and how quickly were you able to land the job? Esp, when you hardly got any time to prepare during the job.

Who in God’s name came up with these crazy Inventory hours? Ridiculous!

I’ve heard about a pumpkin spice edition F-150 being released. My wife would love one. When does the ordering period open, and will it be available in an electric version?

If I were on a team that truly needed face to face collaboration, real whiteboarding, real in person meetings, then fine. That’s not the reality for most teams here.

Even if everyone were in the same building, the tech work has been largely offshored and US developers were laid off years ago. There are no face to face meetings to be had. You’re still on Teams calls all day, just now from a noisy office instead of a quiet home.

It makes no sense. It’s expensive. It’s bad for the environment. It destroys work life balance. It worsens traffic. It exhausts people. And for what?

Where are the metrics showing any positive impact on the bottom line? Where is the productivity data? Where is the retention improvement? No one can produce any of it. Because it doesn’t exist or shows the contrary to what they want you to believe.

If anything, this policy is costing the company money while actively making employees’ lives worse and driving new hires out. That’s not leadership. That’s stubbornness disguised as strategy.

Anyone think landmark will make it to March? Or will the market close before the blue cross contract is set end?

Will Store Managers find out if their location is closing on Jan 8th? Or sooner?

Did anyone else receive a termination notice from Kaiser Permanente (as of 1/4/2026)? I should have benes through Oct 2026!

Anyone have details on WFH positions being eliminated via a RTO policy coming down from on high?

Donation paid off?

There was a big meeting aboud new practice for delivery combining all SM, SL , RTE and STE across BNy in to one practice...have anyone heard latest on it.

So here we are, the third year of the Kobayashi Regime is about to begin. The faux post-COVID “growth” has all but withered up and, if the trend continues, a nose dive should be expected in 2026.

In late 2022, Ogawa proclaimed that the company MUST return to 2019 levels in 2023. That certainly did not happen. Sammy was then installed to be the disruptor, mover & shaker. Hundreds of employees were forced to retire or were laid off in mid-2024. This move has greatly backfired, leading to terrible morale and disgruntled employees nationwide. 2025 was supposed to be the rise of the great “One Canon” strategy. Things are more disjointed now than before the restructuring and merger of CSA & CUSA.

So what will 2026 bring? 2024 = layoffs. 2025 = restructuring. Sammy is down to his last strike in the bottom of the 9th, and he’s no Shohei Ohtani, so expect a huge swing and a miss in 2026.

Layoff season is upon us - larger layoff season anyways - so who do we have bets on this round? ISG/CSG again? IT? Tech Support? Sales?

Realistically it's never "all" departments unless you count 1 or maybe 2 people...

Started working here during the pandemic. I remember the huge layoff back in 2024. Not really familiar with how Fidelity does layoffs.

That being said, there’s (a lot of) talk about certain positions getting laid off. There’s been a few layoffs, but not to the extent of 2024. With all the talk going on, why hasn’t there been a cataclysmic layoff yet, like this website seems to predict?

Take what I say with a grain of salt, but I just expected Abby to execute a bloodbath again this year. Everyone seems to have a hunch that another big one is coming, which has a bunch of people on edge. How are people gonna perform well when they’re on edge? Why doesn’t Abby just do the layoff already to let people know where things lie, and then have the safe ones be able to work?

I’m not sure how many people quit this past year because of the increase in remote work, or their position getting moved to another office. Still, what needs to fall into place before yet another huge layoff occurs?

I know this is a sensitive topic, so whoever reads this, please just take care of yourself.

For those recently displaced, how long did it take for you to be eligible to rollover your 401K from empower after your end date? As i understand it in your empower profile you have to be switched from "active" in terms of WF employment?

What does that mean? What can I expect? New to Citi and workday

Can we still use a 1/2 day PTO to count as an 8 hour day in the office? Or do we have to go in for 4 hours? I am not complaining, asking a genuine question since my direct doesn’t know the answer.

If so, how??

Has anyone heard anything about finally moving back to hybrid? Surely they've made enough people quit by now...

As a nosey laid-off PRS, I want to know how the “new” PRS group is doing. Anyone from the field or ROC, feel free to chime in. I know the quality has to be atrocious, unless they REALLY reeled it in. How are the panelists responding to not having “their normal” PRS to speak with anymore, or do they not even notice the complete change?

With the target being so high did anyone make a decent check?

For anyone who’s been let go, did your final paycheck and accrued PTO come in as one deposit or two separate ones? Just trying to get an idea for planning.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I’m currently at a company with higher pay but toxic manager. Thinking to return back to company with same title and pay when I left. Is it worth the switch?

• Last year they flattened the mid management and forced most managers into a PM role, which made all of us be under some random new manager.

• They implemented a 5 day RTO policy and are treating us like children by monitoring badge swipes

• They started their super SUPER "secret" NDA project - or was that in 2024, i dont remember now... - either way, it aint gonna be ready in May LMFAO

So what do we think their plans are this year?

If I have to guess,

• the RTO will be scaled back to 3 days/week and/or not being monitored anymore (I genuinely do believe this too)
• The NDA project won't go "live" when JC wants it to (May) and will be pushed back again and he throws a fit... Maybe even gets fired for it! - hopeful thinking.
• Promotions will be MIA again
• A lot of Directors will quit because who tf wants to manage 20+ people?
• They start laying off the FULL remote employees who aren't near an office and refuse to move near one.

Any other guesses?

IS it true? https://patch.com/maryland/across-md/multiple-md-retailers-planning-2026-closures-see-list They say the Towson store is for 2026 closing.... ??? Is it true? Hope not

Can anyone confirm when?

It is no longer a question of if, it is a question of when.

Shorting OTEX will be profitable if timing is correct.

So, when will OTEX die?

According to Yahoo finance, no "analysts" have rated sell.

Does anyone know when we will get our severance?
