#relocation

Seeing signs of L3Harris Communication Systems transitioning more of its footprint and resource allocation out of Upstate New York toward its primary base in Florida. From a strategic standpoint, the driver behind this is clear. ​Labor Overhead: Tapping into lower operational and labor costs in Florida compared to New York.
​Tax Advantages: Leveraging a far more corporate-friendly tax environment in FL.
​Talent Pipeline: Positioning the segment directly in Florida’s heavily concentrated defense tech corridor, providing access to a larger pool of cleared engineering and manufacturing personnel.
​It seems like another example of major defense primes consolidating operations into lower-cost, business-friendly hubs. Has anyone heard timeline specifics or how much of the legacy Rochester presence will ultimately remain?

St. Louis employees are expected to start getting relocation notices next month. At this point, the direction is obvious. AT&T keeps pulling more jobs into the Dallas area, shrinking its footprint elsewhere, and building toward Plano in 2028.

This is not just another office consolidation. Dallas is clearly winning the location battle inside AT&T, and Plano looks like the final destination. Every round of relocations makes that more obvious. Other offices lose people, lose influence, and lose relevance while North Texas keeps gaining all three.

If you are in St. Louis and still hoping your office will somehow avoid this, that is becoming harder to justify. The company is steadily narrowing the map. More roles go to Dallas, more decisions get centered there, and more employees are being pushed toward the same choice: relocate to Texas or move on.

People can hate the strategy, defend it, or complain about how it is being handled. It does not change the result. St. Louis is losing. Dallas is winning. Plano is winning even more. The center of gravity keeps moving south, and by 2028 there may not be much left to debate about where AT&T wants its future to be.

All roads lead to Plano. The important decisions are made here.

It is so subjective, isn't it? Use the information that you have and do what is best for you and your loved ones. Clinging to the notion of getting severance has caught up more than a few. Then, surprise, your severance is lost due to a relocation of your work to another division or company such as Cognizant. The only move to make is the one that gives you a semblance of peace in the current environment. Semblance, not actual peace.

Manufacturing in Massachusetts will end by 1st quarter in 2027. All manufacturing will be moved to low-cost countries where labor costs are much less.

How much time is given to relocate to Dallas?
Do you get a choice of Dallas or Atlanta?

Can you please share how much Technical Leaders (Grade 11 or Grade 12) earn in RTP? Salary range in NC seems to be: $187000.00 - $274,100.00

My brother earns $195K Base, 13% Annual Cash bonus, 6% 401K Match and no RSUs in his current job. What would be a strong offer to negotiate along with relocation?

Looks like the space may be sub leased. Are those of us remaining moving? Where?

just a rant: kind of difficult to take in that we could potentially be laid off. A bit harder to take in especially since I joined 5 months ago as an early career new grad. Had to move across the country without relocation assistance only to be on the chopping block. wish they would rip the bandaid off already.

i know it's a stressful time for everyone given their own situations, I don't want to make it seem all about me! I hope the best for all of us! Welcome to the corporate world moment for me, lol

Is it true that a new hire will have to relocate to the city the training location is in, instead of virtual training? I saw a job posted in Workday stating trainees would have to be in Houston for the duration of training. Are they putting people up in hotels for that? Or a stipend?

The company moved me to Midland less than a year ago. If I voluntarily leave the company what will I have to repay? Does the company really collect the move expenses etc? I did sell my house in Houston when I lived and the company paid the closing costs. Anyone have personal experience with this scenario?

In this episode of is it true or not. Several individuals have stated that the latest news is IF you are in Columbus,GA you can choose to relocate to OH or Georgia.

It is mid week now. Where is the post on virtuals getting notices to relocate to Dallas? It seems every week this insider has so much information about virtuals and the schedule for the follow the work letters.

Have the notices stopped going out to virtuals? Or are all virtuals gone? Or has the guy perpetuating this claim left the business?

I’ve recently been offered a corporate position in a software development role that pays more than other offers I’ve received. I’m a US citizen, and I’d have to relocate to Jersey City for the role. Is it worth relocating to a more expensive city with Schwab?

My current company is constantly laying departments off and outsourcing, and I’m worried about going to a similar or worse environment.

If you aren’t relocating, did they term you? I was asked to fill out the form and the only option was voluntary resignation. If they term you would you qualify for unemployment? For the CIP?
It’s hard to interpret the plan documents.

I do not see any business case for keeping any Aberdeen office open after the asset sale. Any remaining employees can relocate to London to lower overhead.

Overheard a call last Friday between some high-level Cards managers and one of them said that the Meridian, ID CSC near Boise was probably not going to renew their lease when it comes due in 2027, moving all of those roles who work there to Sioux Falls, SD. I know they closed Roy, UT last year but they let everyone become WFH, not relocated or terminated. Anyone with better intel? I have a good friend who is a c14 there and he knows nothing about any plans to leave.

I’m forced to relocate to Dallas this year. I have kids in elementary school. What is your routine like if you live in Frisco? I am sole earner and can’t lose this job.

Does anyone have a scooby what’s happening with the ring fence for Aberdeen folk? I’m in it and don’t want to be. What are the chances that I get saved to work something else or get to move to a different location?

The finance folks under Ed Claure are WFM. Why do I have to move when the dead weight ADs with a handful of reports get to WFH? Dead weight dialer managers and collection strategy clowns sitting pretty at home.

At the town hall mtg, there was a slido question about HBA relocation. What was the outcome of the recent survey? Any plans requiring associates to move to St Louis? They didn’t get to that question. If anyone has inside scoop, please share.

I wonder how many layoffs will result from the move to the Andover office?

Comment if you are relocating to HQ this year.

Heard Miami is becoming a main hub and they are renovating the building for incoming departments for the next couple of years. Anyone heard anything?

Last year, all of the remote employees in my department were told they need to move to OH or MN , if they decide not to relocate, they were given severance.

They also were not given option to move to hub that were close to home such as in AZ or TX.

We replaced all the remote employees by hiring in OH and MN.

Also recently, I talked to people in another department and they were told remote was no longer available, move to hub or get severance.

So GK was right when she said remote was grandfathered, meaning you aren’t getting fired.

What she didn’t tell you was, to keep your job, you need to move to a hub.
Being in office is not good enough, must be in one of the hub

Potentially cutting the lease early and relocating because salaries have inflated there and everyone’s demoralized, etc.

Is this true? How would moving the whole operation again help with morale?

Samsung Electronics has implemented job reductions across its U.S. consumer electronics divisions, primarily impacting employees in New Jersey and Texas.

Finally received my 60 day non-working notice from Wells Fargo update after a Business Update meeting in Microsoft Teams. Super excited to be moving on! Glad I stuck around in Fraud (continued working remotely) after the Relocation Strategy email from corporate in February 2024 warning of these layoffs in the future. Delay after delay in DTFR, disorganized upper managers pushing out the date further and further. Prevent AI to date was a flop (but who cares anyways). Today I am happy to announce, I am done with Wells Fargo officially. What a ride it has been! Time to collect my hard earn money while I go on vacation and sip a Colada! Cheers!!!!!!!!!
