I know companies have strategies to reduce workforce and adjust to the business. But layoff at every few months is not good for workers to concentrate. When is a good time to be stable and stop laying off? I have not seen this in the past 20+ years... — read more 

Hearing through muiltiple HR associates and IT that a lot of layoffs coming this week. A lot of additional packing supplies have been ordered for equipment returns according to IT

I'm getting pretty tired of the games management plays. They sell you on some big project or exciting change, making you believe it's an opportunity to prove yourself and move up. In reality, it's often just a way to squeeze more out of you while... — read more 

I hear he is on the list. All kinds of data theft and unauthorized access, misuse of funds.

Legal was hit Monday night. A mix of lawyers and legal professionals. Hard to tell how many, maybe 5% of the staff.

Just noticed that health benefit got much more expensive and way worse this year, especially the CDHP and select? Is this a way to push people out?

About 5 just happened in Single Family. Now I’m wondering if it’s strategic to drizzle them throughout the year to keep from having one mass layoff.

Like Mike H said, work for free (after hours and weekend) and you will be rewarded with 1 extra month of summer Fridays! Pump up those numbers people and applaud free labor!

CISO is replaced. Golden handcuffs of "SVP - Advisor" until year end

Some people saw him with security walking out. Did he get fired? What did he do?

What comes out of the survey results and feedback?

How much worse off can you be than staying here if they show you the door and send you off with a nice severance package? Honestly?

Anybody hearing anything about supposed September cuts?

I know at least 50 folks were let go across the board - maybe more…

Interviewed a bunch of Freddie Mac employees, each of them shared that layoffs are coming. Both in single family division.

Layoffs coming this Friday. Be prepared.

Company is finished with layoffs for this year.

Does Bill prefer Freddie?

Across the company? How are you guys managing?

Stop putting AI meetings during lunch hour. We already know AI is coming for our jobs because you’re forcing it down our throats! Now you want to take my lunch too!!!!

How do you navigate working for a leader who consistently deflects responsibility when things go wrong, portrays themselves as the person holding the organization together, and repeatedly singles out one or two employees for criticism until they... — read more 

We're increasingly relying on very junior resources who often arrive with a great deal of confidence but very little context. Many are obsessed with visibility and impressing VPs and Directors, spending more energy crafting narratives and projecting... — read more 

Turnover's blowing up at so many other companies but things feel weirdly frozen here. I'm still looking for an exit but most of my team seems fine staying put even after everything that's happened, and I can't tell if they know something I don't or... — read more 

Can someone explain how they are tracking productivity? What’s the software? Is it just Viva Insights? What are they tracking? Who gets the reports? Please share if you actually know. This is important info for all of us!

If so, start moving that mouse around ladies and gentlemen.

Don’t expect engagement, cooperation, creativity. You won’t get it because you don’t believe in it. You believe in hierarchy of mediocre yes-people, micromanagement and fear tactics.

but it's become nearly all indian, apparently by design

Seems like it.

10% this year company wide. 5% in June and 5% in October to stay below the warn notice. Next year gets even better at 15%. Have fun everybody! Is this true?

Too much fat around that desperately needs to be cut. Sadly, I doubt they'll ever be asked to leave. Most of them are too good at a-s-kissing to worry about their jobs. But a guy can dream, right?

Right?!

Brace for impact.
