Laptops are being rationed and recycled. Yes, recycled. So that laptop you just got might be 3 years old and won't handle the windows 11 upgrade. Team members are going through three four and five laptops before they find one that can handle Windows 11.

smh.

They want you to come into the office but they don't want to give you a computer.

Meanwhile we have all these groups pointlessly tokenmaxxing.

Technology has always been pretty bad at Wells Fargo. This is unacceptable. How are we going to sell products customers without compute.

We need to fire a lot more people. Unfortunately we seem to be firing the wrong ones

I saw a site is collecting all the workspace hubs. The message states “this is part of a change supporting a more consistent laptop-first experience across office around the country….just a shift to leveraging your laptop vs a virtual desktop using the hub.”

Any word on Product & Technology Enablement in VBG ?

Two by two, three by three, four by four, and there they go. Replaced by Dan's new army. Farewell Jeff C.

The stock prices is down 2% YTD and most analysts expect very little upside. Also, with very high technology spending and in employee salaries, seems like we should expect a sizable layoffs in the near future. Thoughts?

Watch the Cisco Beat today...
They have rediscovered serious performance monitoring and evaluation and participation in the bullsh-t side of it is becoming mandatory. As a result they are moving it out of all the clunky tools they have today--into a new tool. Which is???

WEBEX!!

Yup, Webex. Likely so that they can use AI to run it all in the backend (which they own/control). So, from now on, you'll be effectively reporting to an AI tool that will evaluate your performance against the latest/greatest HR fashions.

Which means that next time they need to get rid of x'000 people they can ask AI for the list. Which is probably not good news for middle managers.

SpaceX popped it and now IBM and others will follow.

Who is next NVDA or CSCO?

It allows MS to take screen shots of your computer every so often and store them on the PC.

Has anyone else noticed something that looks like ‘Pegasus’ popping up on their screen? Not sure if I’m imagining it or if this is really happening. Posting this in case it gets taken down curious if others are seeing the same thing

Asha Sharma, the new CEO of Xbox, has been appointed to a Federal Reserve task force focused on jobs and productivity. This group will examine the economic effects of new technologies, including artificial intelligence. Sharma recently announced significant layoffs at Xbox. The appointment has drawn criticism due to the timing and the inclusion of other controversial figures. The task force aims to inform the Federal Reserve's policy decisions.

Gotta do something before earnings release in a couple of weeks.

I was part of a team that designed and engineered Personal Shopper - the app that most of the retail reps use. I knew it wont be appreciated yet i still worked on it and pushed it out. Thats my confession. Heads up, theres a v2 coming up and its worse.

Will Meg come to her senses and realize that AMs desperation move to contract as a services provider to a hugely incompetent national oil company of India was a mistake. Providing technical services in brown…the darkest of brownfields offshore India does not make sense..not bp’s wheelhouse or forte ..

Artificial intelligence improvements are causing widespread layoffs in the technology industry. Kaiser Permanente and Revere Health are among the first healthcare systems to see AI-driven workforce changes. These initial layoffs primarily affect non-clinical roles such as coding, billing, and scheduling. Clinical jobs are not expected to be permanently replaced by AI soon. However, temporary provider layoffs and increased work expectations are anticipated during this AI trend.

What’s the deal about the new Combination Technician in D3 ??

U.S. employers announced 45,849 job cuts in June. This total represents a 53% decrease from May's figures. Technology remained the leading sector for cuts, with 15,503 announced. Artificial Intelligence was the primary reason cited for 14,029 job cuts. Overall hiring plans for June also saw a decrease from the previous month.

"Billions of dollars, zero use cases"

Mentions IBM multiple times as one of the worst offenders of the scam.

Here’s a novel idea:
Fiber is great where dense; 5G mid-band strong in cities. But Starlink (SpaceX) crushes rural/low-density. Immediate deep integration/partnership: Bundle AT&T wireless/fiber with Starlink for seamless "always-on" global coverage. License Starlink tech or co-develop direct-to-cell. This neutralizes competition and expands TAM massively.
Deploy spectrum (from EchoStar/Lumen deals) with obsessive efficiency—Tesla-style manufacturing for cell sites and fiber rollout. Aim for 5M+ new fiber passings/year via automation/robotics. Open RAN? Push harder with custom silicon (like Dojo for AI inference on the edge).
Make convergence king: One app, one bill, one unbeatable experience for phone + home internet + vehicle connectivity. Churn drops when customers are locked into superior physics.

self proclaimed transformation agent, from GBT American Express travel. A travel website? To running all of tech for a top fintech? Another bad decision by Lyons that now we all have to live as he's on to the next company to tank. Mike's short tenure here was a complete disaster. Look at the people he hired. The prima donna queen of AI, and more useless payroll. I hope Takis cleans house or this place sc--wed.
