Explanations?

Hey guys, can someone explain what's going on, even from rumors:

  • Why the downsize
  • Rough number on the downsize (5% now, 5% in Q4?)
  • This appears to be worldwide
  • What does India have to do with any of this?

I'm grateful to still have my role, but I'm terrible at being "in the know" of the bigger picture my company faces. For the sake of discussion, I like my role but people keep saying to steer clear of working at TI. What are reasons for this train of thought?

Thank y'all!


Why bother?

Why do people even bother with kissing a$$ to upper management and then burdening themselves with the fake lifestyle of pretending to matter as a 'middle manager'? I did tech for about 20 years and then retired because my 'butt kissing' manager was an a-hole. Just wondering what in the he-l inspires someone to be that person that most people despise.


Short Term Disability factored in stack ranking?

Asking here because I’ll never get a honest answer on company letterhead. You have so much FMLA time (12 weeks) then you have so much Short Term Disability (26 weeks), which can run concurrently. Do people who need to go beyond the protected 12 weeks risk weeks 13, 14, etc. being used against them when RIF time comes around?


Is this happening at VZ?

A company-dominated union, also called a "yellow union," is a worker organization that is controlled or heavily influenced by the employer rather than by the employees it is meant to represent. These unions are often established and directed by management to prevent genuine, independent employee representation and are illegal under U.S. labor law, specifically Section 8(a)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).


Upcoming layoffs

As we all know, Thomson Reuters does massive layoffs every year in November. If you got a really good review on your midyear review, can you assume that you’re safe this year? Has anyone ever heard of someone getting a great review during their mid year review but still finding themselves in the lay off list that year?
