So I was approved for a full-time ongoing telecommuting (remote) accommodation back in 2023. Recently, they decided to force me to "recertify" my accommodation just so they could rip it from me. I've heard anything from it "no longer being the pandemic" as the reasoning to being a "business need". Oh really? Interesting how the pandemic wasn't mentioned at all when my accommodation was approved on a full-time and ongoing basis. Also very interesting how you can't supply documentation about the "business need" to be in office. Equally as interesting... 83% of those with my same job title, therefore, similar job description, and they're all listed as remote.

So who else is disabled and/or chronically ill and has had their remote accommodation denied in 2025?

After being a Star Performer till mid year, I was handed a PIP for the latter half of the year and put in Groupo 5 and served PIP. Through out the PIP for 2 months, HR did not show up even once, and after 60 days, I was terminated with notice period.
Again, HR was not involved at all. Is this normal?

Humana is letting go of many leaders. If history is an indication, expect some to land at Centene. Ex-Humana people have been disasters at Centene, but we still hire them. Why?????

What's the current situation? "Asking for a friend."

When are the next business control layoffs ? They were hit hard a few months ago but haven’t heard anything since

How are things right now and are there any layoffs?

Considering on joining the company. May I get the 2025 good and bad info on working at the company please? Any words of wisdom will help me decide if this is a good fit for me.
Thank you all!

My team had a very short notice 15 minute teams call yesterday with our Sr. Manager letting us know that another different Sr. Manager on our team was no longer with the company effective immediately.

The Sr. Manager who was let go regularly interacts with our entire team so the main point of the call was to instruct us who to reach out to directly going forward for issues the former Sr. Manager used to deal with.

To all of our knowledge the Sr. Manager was an extremely high performer and was very well liked by our Director and Executive Director.

Trying to figure out if this was a one off or part of a larger batch of layoffs.

Has anyone else been asked about volunteering to attend training for future strike support?

There are a lot of rumors going around, and it’s hard to tell what’s actually true.

On exploration leadership. Thanks for the contribution here.

Is that a certainty by now?

I'm slowly starting to see more and more Cisco employees update their LinkedIn, stating that they're open to work. Naturally, I'm curious if silent layoffs are happening and how big this one really is.

I thought a number of EVPs transitioned out of USAA and some other leaders were promoted. But the website seems to still have old info. Have the changes not happened yet?

Anyone know?

1) Does the 8 hours count working with offshore at night? If no, I'll ignore them till next morning

2) Does putting in extra hours on weekends help?

3) Is 5-6 hours + 2-3 hours office + home acceptable? Bridgets email does indicate so.

I'm a somewhat new hire -- off the rip I've already heard all kinds of things about how inefficient the teams are, how useless the managers are, how petty managers are towards each other, senior staff/TFALs are slave driven to meet impossible deadlines, and onboarding/training is nonexistent. Is this account really that deep in trouble?

I’m assigned to an office far from my house and they won’t change my location so I have been going one day a week to a closer location.

how is the new cfo doing 6 months in. Seems like the heavy lifting was done before she arived. update would be nice right about now.is she worth $700k.

Dan Schulman is stepping in as Verizon’s new CEO. At PayPal he built a reputation for being employee-centric, even raising wages and improving benefits for frontline staff. He talks about purpose and fairness, not just profit. Is this the turning of the page for Verizon?

I heard this new guy is just a place holder until Joe Russo is ready

What about wfh over 6 hours from any office?

Long held rumours of pension changes.
What’s the scoop?

Rumors down south are that there will be changes to benefits and enforcement of in office presence.

Anyone have insights re pension changes from DB to DC or other? Elimination of EDOs?

I'm hearing rumors that Fiserv is about to announce a split between Financial and Merchant? half goes Private Equity the other half gets purchased.

Who knows who all is going to be laid off at Kearl? Which positions,depts etc?

Who Knows

Both counties seen quite calm still.

Any piece of news on the room?

This was too sudden?
Or maybe it was being planned behind the scenes for a while.
Dan is temporarily for sure.

I thought the survey was supposed to come out today, am I mistaken?

Is it bleak across the board or are there pockets of good somewhere?

When's the next round coming? Have we heard anything yet?

I've been hearing rumors about more locations closing before the end of the year, can anybody confirm if this is true or not? If it's true, is there any way to know which ones are closing? I really can't be without a job right now so I need to start looking right away if we're part of this.

I was thinking about this recently, about how many people said they would walk away if RTO was implemented, but I don’t know a single person who actually did. Goes to show why companies get away with the things they do. Most people are strong on words, but never on action.

Is there even a small chance that this will be performance based? Or are they going to focus on numbers once again and lay off people who are higher earners?
