Everyone is saying upskill - can we share specific skills that are valuable? AI certification? Agents? What is valuable

Various rumors that he has resurfaced but not in mn - has anyone heard about the new gig

Had a recruiter ping me recently for a job with a "leading crypto" firm for grc work. Would be an 80k pay bump plus equity and full wfh. Too good to be true perhaps, but I'm doing my research.

What would you all do? I survived a few lay offs here but I know job security is not guaranteed anywhere; especially in crypto.

Mike Sicilia was the head of Oracle’s Industries Global Industry Unit (IGIU) until today, now he is the CEO of Oracle. I think he failed already. At IGIU VP/SVP titles were selected for layoff is only 5.6%, well below a commonly cited ~10% benchmark for broad reductions. Why might senior titles be less affected? We can all name plenty of worthless VPs and SVPs at IGIU. Transparency on criteria would go a long way toward trust. I don't trust Mike, do you?

Does md answer on teams ? Like if we can give him some good ideas or share with him some suggestions ?

There was a post about linking the new H1-B fee to solidifying offshoring. Post got deleted. It had some good information on how this will now make more sense for the bank to open their global capability center (GCC) in India for which they are currently shopping. I wonder why it was deleted. Creating this new post so someone can answer ;-)

Are we having layoffs in the coming week or not?

Or do they just keep bringing in external hires every time a managerial spot opens up?

Anything?

The only thing I can think of is that now I'm fully ignoring anything work related after business hours, and I used to be available at all hours while WFH. But that certainly can't be considered an improvement for the company. Is there anything you can think of?

Those who were laid of at the start of the month stop coming in tomorrow, right? I don't understand why you'd force people to stay after they've been laid off (I know I wouldn't be productive for sure) but maybe that wisdom will come with age, who know. In any case, good luck folks.

Serious question? Or Rumor?

Verizon is dying like Sprint. Bad contracts, no vision, poor leadership. Is Elon the answer?

Anyone else heading of layoffs in the US soon?

If XOM is looking to reduce HC10 headcount, why doesn't it create provide an option to let HC10 staff over a certain age (say 50 or even 48) take early retirement.

Reading all the commentary on this forum, a lot of folks may take the option? Has anyone run economics scenarios for this? At the minimum, will improve morale ...

I hope our mm colleagues with a H1-B visa returns to the states before the EOD as"an executive order on Friday requiring US employers to pay a $100,000 application fee for the visa program. The order takes effect on September 21 at 12:01 a.m. ET."

Does this mean if you currently have one and it expires chances are you won't have employment because I doubt mm will pay that price for anyone plus income.

The president just signed an EO adding a 100K fee to the H1B Visa application, per year. Is that per position or per hiring company? Amazon had 10,000+ of these Visas last year. Does that mean we will see more job openings in tech?

I am 50+ and facing job search issues like anyone my age in this market after the recent layoffs. The H1b law passing perhaps will stop ageism as new grads wont come cheap as they used to

There's a proposal for 25% tax on US firms' payments to foreign outsourcing companies.

It looks like El Presidente Donald has increased H1B prices from $4,500 to $100,000 each for companies, curious on how/if this will change TIAA’s outsourcing efforts?

I just read trump made the yearly cost of a h1b visa 100k. Do we have employees on that type of visa?

Wonder what effect this is gonna have?

H1B - NO More (Yearly fee for H1B is just 100K). What will happen to 16,000 H1B Accenture had sponsored will they send them back?

Is vue being absorbed by corporate and will this result in more lay offs?

L4 engineer here, just curious why my chapter lead has a VP of architecture as their boss. Whereas other software architects have other bosses. Not sure why.

Are there any benefits if you come on as a rehire ?

No more cuts expected tomorrow?

We are now a California company. Just curious if anyone knows how to deal with the non-complete signed with Ansys?

Stop at 75K or further reduction?

With Rick leaving, any insight into how his replacement might make changes? The Financial Crimes group is such a disaster. I bet some of the execs will be out the door shortly.

I left Boeing a year ago and have been watching the company from the sidelines. Honestly, I can't see any improvements since I left the company. Boeing's salaries are low; especially with the cost of living in Seattle the benefits are average at best. Why bother going back.
I was shocked when Boeing won the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance Fighter. Believe Boeing will perform poorly on that contract with the risk of cancellation.

Any info? Anywhere? has anyone gotten an offer or a surplus notice?
bargained for or management please share if you have any real info thanks

I have been a CRC for seven years and have seen many changes. Each year we have less people to help the customers. I am concerned they will shut down more branches soon. Does any one have any information

I’m an ex-employee with several gold anniversary pins with diamonds in them. Anyone know whether these have any value, even if to a jeweler who’d melt them down? I have no use for them and would love to at least get enough money out of them for a nice bottle of champagne.

For those in US impacted by layoff and utilizing LHH Outplacement services, how is the service? Any good?

Heard there were some layoffs today? Does anyone know how many or which teams got affected?

What's up with rumors about layoffs sometime next month? Any truth to it?

I don't want to be blindsided tomorrow.
