what is happening in ontario
all the layoffs. seems to be in usa

lots of rumours about September layoffs, outsourcing...
who is relocating to London Costco building...
any updates?

Hearing rumors about a VLO opening up in the Spain office. Can anyone currently based there confirm? Is this connected to the recent Work From Home (WFH) policy changes?

If anyone is impacted today from Ireland can you say what dept you are in just so we can have an idea

So many rumors that today is the day for Ireland with numbers ranging 170 to 450

I'd say the 170 number seems more realistic

If nothing happens today I'm going to put it out of my mind and just continue on with my day to day at work

Living with this constant dread and threat hanging over us is absolutely draining and it's ruining my mental health

Rumor has it that IT is due for another round of layoffs. Does anyone Dir+ know what teams or functions they’ll be targeting or timeframe?

99 year leases on 1f to VZW.. frontier purchases. Selling dark fiber, how long before the wireless side is divested? Clearly they keep reducing non union employees numbers to make it a much more appealing sell and locking in the fiber leases secures revenue. The ducks are in a row

What’s the over-under for when we announce that we’ll “merge” with BP. I’m guessing Q3 2027.

I don’t see anything listed. Do they skirt around this requirement? Of might this be an indication that tomorrow there will not be layoffs?

Does any one have an idea when the reorganization will come to the refineries? I've heard rumors of October but if they announce the new chart then I don't know if layoffs will happen then or after the first of the year.

Got confirmation of October layoffs today in my org. Anyone else? Trying to see how big this one will be...

Is anyone else hearing whispers of five days a week next year?

In Corp Risk and a few people have mentioned hearing that rumor over the past few days.

Am I naive to think we're now safe for a while?

All departments seem to be impacted, rumored 188 employees cut.

Same as last year, blindsided zoom meetings, they read you a script and jamf lock your laptop and ki-l your accounts the moment the meeting ends.

Word down at the watering hole is that CFOs fixin' mandate to take a mighty sharp kn--e to everything, and he ain't fixing to waste any time doing it, neither.

Any truth to the rumors of people being told their position is being downgraded to a lower grade level, and they can either accept it or leave? Are they offering a separation package for those who do not accept this? Wondering if this is true and what roles/business units are affected.

I heard a rumor in the office today that the next round of layoffs is September 24th. Has anyone else heard this?

Hearing rumors of a EISP again today.Is it true has there been talk with the union ??

Historically, we see org changes and layoffs in September/October. No one really knows but we are good at reading the signs. Anyone reading anything?

I have heard from several sources that 4,000 employees are being let go on Monday. Take it with a grain of salt because this is all a game of telephone

Has anyone else heard the same?

Hearing whispers of some restructuring of the branches in CA. Specifically the South LA branch becoming the main branch and OC and the Ventura branches being closed or turned into ghost warehouses. Anyone have any more info on that?

There are rumours circulating about a huge RA across Europe this September due to the company's poor financial results. The RAs are expected to affect most business units. Does anyone have more information about this? Is it true?

There have been quite a few discussions recently about potential changes and layoffs. Has anyone heard any confirmed information about what is happening with the Computational Team or whether they are affected?

Would appreciate any reliable updates or insights.

Only Elite Human Capital could think this is a good idea: Everyone in the bottom 15% of whatever nonsense metrics they're using this week (whichever ones the right people can game properly) are getting automatically PIP'd.

As we all know they use PIPs to prep people for being RA'd. And all the rumors are pointing to a massive RA in September.

We heard that Focal is happening in September. Anyone heard anything, or do you think they’ll announce it after another round of layoffs? 😅

whose effected? more coming?

Do you guys think they are done with layoffs?

I was informed off record by a manager within Allstate that "big changes" were right around the corner in Underwriting. Basically a large amount of layoffs will be occurring in Underwriting. Anyone else caught wind of this and if so are there any details to share?

Any grumblings about more cuts or people leaving?

Rumors of changes to job titles at Corporate on 11/1. No other details other than pay will not be reduced. Anybody else hear?

I hear chatter of layoffs coming to HL. September is right around the corner and it typically happens before Employee Appreciation week.

Did I miss something?

From what I can remember, layoffs almost always start on Tuesday, so I'm going to assume it's going to be the same this time. I don't buy this "layoffs are canceled" talk, we all know it's going to happen.

So far it’s been rumored over the past 6 months that every week the EISP is coming.Yet here we are with more rumors of rumors.I would say I have been watching so many fellow union associates keep putting off their plans .At this point if they are ready to they should just go !!If the extra money is the deal breaker maybe your not ready to go .But ya so tired of hearing the same conversations!!!

Rumor from IMAGE conference last week via Chevron personnel.

Any news on SMS layoffs?

Is this a certainty or still just a rumor?

What are your thoughts of Space X acquiring Verizon?

Is there anything coming next week?

Was that just a rumor that was proven wrong or is there still a chance of it happening?
