Who got laid off today?
I heard some folks let go today...please share.
I have to chime in before someone takes this too seriously and does something bad...
Everyone on this forum is blowing everything out of proportion. I have firsthand knowledge from reliable sources that say there will NOT be any layoffs, period. There will be a lot of shuffling of resources WITHIN the company, but THAT'S IT. Please... — read more
my prediction...
...is that there won't be any large layoffs like you are all worried about, at least not in the short term. Instead, they are going to do surgical RIF/layoff/PIP/terminations. They are going to go through each person and determine cost/benefit and... — read more

To all midlle managers: What is the status? :)
This question is for all status collectors middle managers whose only job is to periodically ask others "what is the status?"
If you are in mid 40s
Very hard to find a job, especially if you are manager/director. Have to compromise for low salary, lower titles. Very painful
Are people really *that* worried about a layoff affecting their ability to pay their mortgage.
Come on.. Most of your are double income households. And most of you probably have positive equity right? (otherwise you should have already sold short a long time again).And most of you maintain an emergency fund of at least 1 year for your mortgage... — read more

Barry Rosenstein net worth
Barry Rosenstein net worth: $1.3 Billion. It's not enough, so we ought to spin off some units.
The trickle has started. Waiting for the deluge to follow.
A few VPs in QCT got the news on Wed. night. A few more folks told today. Expecting the dam to burst on Monday with largescale notifications of RIF. By Wed. afternoon (BEFORE the market closes) most will have been notified in some way, shape or form... — read more
What layoff?
Many are creating fear here, I don't see any massive layoffs coming seriously. All I can see is restructuring of teams/groups. Quite a few positive sentiments in the market - with Iran deal, Cuban relationship and possible Greek's economy revival... — read more
Cupcake uprising
To all cupcake anarchists: steal as many cupcakes as you can and throw them in the ceiling tiles above your directors cube/office. In a few weeks time the stench will be so bad they will have to resign! The plan is foolproof
clock is ticking

It seems I am in the short list, if laid off, I will go back to my country, I am done with all hassles H1, GC etc,
I am the master of fate, I am captain of my soul I am king in my own country. No green card no H1 burden anymore

Eventually housing market will be affected may be 3-5%. If you know you are losing your job, I suggest to sell it quicker before other houses
expect lot of houses com in to market next few weeks. Prices may drop too. San Diego not many hi-tech jobs, so have to move out, better to sell rather than renting it.

Take a look at the top layoffs if all time.
http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/12/07/the-biggest-corporate-layoffs-of-all-time/ All happened at or near a recession. I checked two (Daimler and ATT) and both represented about a 12-14% RIF. Sound familiar? So a couple of takeaways if 4k-5k is real... — read more
Can someone please give the man who asked at the All hands meeting if the top executives would take dollar pay to set an example a high five!
That guy was prepared and very brave! He had rebuttals for all the side stepping responses. Watch the stream at the end if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Have you slowed down recently?
I don't know, but it seems like my entire group just doesn't give a shit anymore and has slowed down significantly. And it goes as high up into some of the more senior managers. I see people actually leaving work at normal hours, sometimes even much... — read more
Lol. I haven't joined my new company yet, but my RSU stock grants have already increased by 15% since the day I closed on my negotiated offer

Don't believe all you read here
Who is writing this stuff here? More than half of it is lies and guesswork (and filth). The "brave guy" works in my building is still there, hasn't moved anywhere. The CE execs named are still there. That's as far as I'm going to go to look into the... — read more
