#rumor

I'm hearing that Katie was let go, any truth to this?

Farewell wellness week. Welcome unwellness week. No idea if someone will actually TELL the wage slaves or not but word is it's dead.

There were a lot of black, shiny vehicles at SP1 when i left yesterday at 5:45pm. There were also security guards in the lobby and parking garage. Was there a specific event that was going on? What do you think was happening?

I've heard from a very reliable source that Van Guard and Black Hawk two of Norfolk Southern's largest hedge funds will cash out sometime in 2026

Rumor mill is swirling around the office with another round of layoffs coming at the end of October? Has anyone else heard this?

How are things right now and are there any layoffs?

Anyone hearing what areas might be impacted? So far planning and IM merging are the rumblings.

My team had a very short notice 15 minute teams call yesterday with our Sr. Manager letting us know that another different Sr. Manager on our team was no longer with the company effective immediately.

The Sr. Manager who was let go regularly interacts with our entire team so the main point of the call was to instruct us who to reach out to directly going forward for issues the former Sr. Manager used to deal with.

To all of our knowledge the Sr. Manager was an extremely high performer and was very well liked by our Director and Executive Director.

Trying to figure out if this was a one off or part of a larger batch of layoffs.

In a surprising turn of events, industry insiders are whispering that Dell Technologies might be weighing its options for a potential sale. While no official statements have been made, sources close to the matter suggest that preliminary conversations with private equity firms and potential strategic buyers have quietly begun behind closed doors.

Dell, a long-standing giant in the PC and enterprise hardware space, has seen its business evolve dramatically in recent years. With growing competition, ongoing market shifts, and recent volatility in tech stocks, some speculate the company may be exploring ways to unlock shareholder value or streamline its sprawling operations.

Fueling the rumor is Dell’s relatively quiet stance on recent earnings calls regarding long-term strategic plans, as well as unusual movements in its stock price and insider activity. Some analysts believe a sale, or even a significant restructuring, could be part of a broader strategy to respond to tightening margins in hardware and the growing dominance of cloud-native infrastructure providers.

Of course, without confirmation from Dell or involved parties, all of this remains speculation. Still, in an industry known for its rapid consolidation and bold moves, the possibility of Dell being up for sale is one worth watching closely.

Stay tuned.

Read an HR post that they were due yesterday, is that confirmed?

Rumor has it Citigroup is very interested and would make sense as to why Ron was retained. Makes sense why all the layoff talk is happening after the 1st of the year.

As king of AI have chosen AMD chips as supreme leadership chips of the future. It is time to throw expensive Nvidia and scrappy Intel chips into trash bins to collect free tax refunds from the governent.

Are those off the table? The only thing keeping me here is the bonus, then as soon as I get that I'm out, unless I'm laid off first. Anyone have any intel if the bonus will happen in 2026, or did those get axed as well.

Rumor mill coming from Shell that you hired one of ours made redundant to join your leadership ranks.

Long held rumours of pension changes.
What’s the scoop?

Rumors down south are that there will be changes to benefits and enforcement of in office presence.

Anyone have insights re pension changes from DB to DC or other? Elimination of EDOs?

I'm hearing rumors that Fiserv is about to announce a split between Financial and Merchant? half goes Private Equity the other half gets purchased.

Why was it deleted? By someone other than the OP?

Became close to many here in 15 years. Cannot stress this enough - The company you think you know IS planning your “winter.” Prepare. Please prepare. Putting in notice this week. And it does not matter how well you’re doing your job.

With telco moves recently, can see stank doing larger cuts and then T puts in new CEO q1. All this in effort to make it look like they’re listening.

Winter is coming.

It seems like there were more layoffs to kick off October. Anyone know who all was affected?

We skipped the 9/25/25 layoffs. Anyone know who all is expected to be impacted this week?

Is this true?

The layoff is 600 people with only a handful offered a severance. Mostly tenure employees that have put in 15+ years

Looks like there’s some layoffs happening in Milford right now. Does anyone know what groups are affected and how widespread it is?

Rumor is that EBCE folks get the axe in the coming 2-3 weeks. My question along with this is why are they still taking up people's time and still starting engagements?!

I've been hearing rumors about more locations closing before the end of the year, can anybody confirm if this is true or not? If it's true, is there any way to know which ones are closing? I really can't be without a job right now so I need to start looking right away if we're part of this.

You heard it here first. You have been WARNed.

The layoffs are a’comin! While they be right before Christmas this year? Will they admit their DEI initiatives have failed? Will they keep the unproductive drones?

Alix Partners will provide their final recommendation by December. Good luck to all. And God help us

I heard Board is talking to someone from T-Mobile to come in.

Anyone know for sure about the rumors mgmt is discontinuing severance all together???

So what’s next? All that news, all the upper echelon are being moved around. The ripple effect has just begun… anyone know anything else that will be announced this coming week? I still think those emails Friday were just the beginning.

Nothing good, I’m sure.

1. Chief Product Officer AJ gotta be the first to go
2. Matt’s unqualified CRO butt gotta be 2nd

Then it’s a little murky…

1. Andy? New CEO probably wants to bring his own
2. Panos/Jonathan?

There’s a news article in India that talks about both SAP and Novo Nordisk cutting jobs.

For Novo, the reason is likely because India approved Ozempic (semaglutide) for adults with type 2 diabetes. For SAP, it’s the 1-2% cut to get rid of the dental plaque.

Can someone please share which teams are affected?

Very recently, CK lied about hiring more people in India to work on AI and now this. Can’t really trust the board’s words - I rather pay attention to their actions.

Once Chainsaw Charkie took possession of the board he told his directs one down west Palm beach next year or you are gone. CRO Derek will do anything as he's close to firing he's yes. hR is a no CFO has other offers he's a no. COO mostly uses the jet to do personal self fulfillment he's a yes. CLO is a no Compliance is a no. IA is a No. And they want to move technology out of anywhere but Iselin NJ bc Bridgette wants it and she won't be forced to go. The CxOs were shocked and really none but Charlie want to go they will shut HY which they just moved into the entirety is poorly thought. So even if you are saf now next year is worse. My hope is to find any Job where I'm not treated like a baby given more work and leave. It's the first bank in 20 years where I've asked for more work and they won't give it. So I attend the meetings I have ideas for work one took and I'm dragging it out in case they lay me off in October they don't get the work product.

Uniform ordering was delayed, maybe because we will know our fate soon? AT&T, Network CO, Lumen or layoff?

Rumors are the Ford will freeze salaries and reduce hiring in '26 in a effort to lower cost and be more financially flexible given macroeconomic uncertainty and stiff international competition.

There are rumors about member floating around. Allegedly this member had an inappropriate relationship with a certain c-suite executive.
