I’ve been placed on a PIP in my very first performance cycle as an experienced hire. It’s been almost a month since the program started, and I’m now considering resigning. If I opt for PIL (pay in lieu of notice), will I still receive the remaining salary amount? Also, if I leave before completing the PIP, would I be eligible to be considered for future roles at ExxonMobil?

Any rumors on when and if that will happen. If approved they should be able to start getting a return on that investment early.

What happens to the current ESPP balance? Do we get stocks or do we get the money back? My notice date was Sept 2 and last date is Sept 22.
As per the FAQ, if termination date is after the 15th, you get stocks but I am trying to understand will it look at the 2nd or 22nd?

When are they announcing the next round of closures? Any updates? Any signs for stores to be looking out for that would mean they are on the list? When do you think the next announcement will be?

What fields are kicking butt and what fields are getting ready to be sold off? How’s the real layoff going?

Any Houston layoffs 2025?

I took the PIL on 8/21 by submitting the docusign and the share point survey. I have not received any communication or contact from either HR or the outplacement company since I left. Should I have heard something back by now? Has anyone else on PIL gotten any response?

Were the previous executives cooking the books or is Sammy just looking for a scapegoat?

Ok so those old long time customers that keep the lights on, any insight on if we are loosing any of them? All I see is Infinity this and MCP but are the old big customers really interested? Love to hear any insights as it will make my decision on jumping easier.

I’m wondering if any HCSC employees have moved into a role that directly supports the Health Spring business yet? I don’t mean your team is ‘getting work’ or ‘waiting for access to start working on HS stuff’. I mean, you have onboarded into a role that is directly supporting Health Spring now. Since many of their people have quit and transitioned employees can’t apply for anything for 1 year, I figure HCSC employees are moving into the roles. What is the process like since the systems aren’t integrated yet? Anything odd come up that you didn’t expect?

Lmao ESRO is so incompetent

So far, Intel has not implemented any AI system that can reduce HC. Is LBT going to lead the company in that direction ?

I opted out of VSP. I have mixed emotions on staying.... who else is in my shoes?

Outside of IT, we still have no idea what's going on?

Is it worth learning a new skill that will get outdated in just for a year or two- certainly not worth the time,money, and health.
Shareholders are prospering while staff are ending in hospitals.

Ok I havent worked at Sams for a while now. I have heard about this new thing called Freight Flow. What is different about it than regular receiving??

overheard layoffs might be hitting marketing. Anyone else hear some rumblings?

After the choice that you've made to stay remote, are you happy with it ? considering the fact that remote people won't have the same " chance " to apply to other roles ? or you have been fired for that choice ?

Anyone? This year

Can anyone share if they were able to negotiate severance and what was offered?

Has anyone heard of anyone that was put on a PIP not being eligible for the PIL if they opt out of the PIP? The person in question was a salary employee if that matters.

How long can someone be on medical LOA? It's not me, FWIW

What’s the process for employees that are impacted this round?

I am applying for a role but I’m being told it’s non-budgeted. What does that mean? It sounds risky even if I am internal.

If they are done with layoffs, benefits are next in line.

has the list for d9 surplus been leaked. id appreciate a link to the site

BTW,when is the next one?

Anyone know how location strategy plays into union employees/locations? I get it that their current contract has them working from home, but with management being required to come back, it would stand to reason the union would follow. And the union employees locations are not part of the location announcements we've heard.

Also wondered how the Frontier acquisition fits into location strategy. Seems like some major disconnects

No need for sarcastic or ignorant comments toward any side of the playing field, please.

has anyone been laid off and come back as an ETW? Did you manage to get a FTE role after coming back as an ETW?

How long untill the new CES guy becomes CEO. Another Accenture guy will be a big success just like Sal. Anyone else hearing anything?

People are mentioning potential layoffs before the end of the month, what's that about? Just rumors or was there something concrete that would give some credence to it?

This used to be an amazing place to work. Now, you can feel the fear every day. People whisper, avoid eye contact, and no one wants to stick their neck out. It’s exhausting just being around it. I think full RTO would cause me to quit just so I can avoid having to deal with that throughout the whole week. Could be just my location, though.

What happens if you go into the office, your manager works in a different office and you are laid off? Do they send guards up to you to escort you out?

Is it really as bad as people are saying? I've been looking for the past few days and there are plenty of good positions available, which confused me. Are these real or are they just placeholders?

I was not remote, but flex and had to go to the office 3 days a week and use a flex workspace. Would WARN apply in my case?

How long will it be before we know how many have opted out of the crazy and taken the severance package? And then how long before we know how many more will need to be laid off to fulfill the goal set?

Anyone else receive “Belk of Belk” for only 3 months while management still has the 30% discount? The only explanation I’ve heard is it’s a “new program” this year. So, let me get this straight. The associates work their @sses off for a year then only get the 30% discount for 3 months?! Make it make sense.
