Soon dump stocks and then out of office.

Apache may get 19 billion dollars of assets for a mere handshake 🤝 they only have $350mm cash…and stock is a dumpster fire. How will this affect employees and jobs?

Let’s convince MW to intervene

Any insight from the water cooler?

Will this breath life into APA?

Heads up.

No longer whole foods employees. Amazon employees. I wonder what positions are getting cut next year

Ansys was a great company to work for. I didn't get that same impression from Synopsys, but I guess that comes with working for a much larger company.

It was a good 5 years.

Is this attainable given top line decline rates are 9%

MW is promising something like 12% production increases per year to account for production declines and well failures.

Is this doable or will more companies need to be purchased?

What else ? And / Or make corrections here.

Did anyone else receive a “Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA” letter from Synopsys today? It specifies that it’s not a notice of termination, but the timing feels off. It may be related to the acquisition, though given that one of the usual COBRA triggers is loss of employment, the timing could have been handled better.

Is not because of poor net adds or gained AI efficiencies but to finance the Frontier acquisition. Maybe if Lowell hadn’t squandered 10 billion on AOL and Yahoo we would all be enjoying this holiday season. Poor decisions by leadership with regards to spectrum purchases and failed mergers is why many of us will see our lives disrupted.

Why are partners like Victra hiring a bunch of former Verizon people?

Are they getting ready to take over more than just retail stores?

Will they also be opening their own contact centers to manage the customers they activate and support?

All interesting potential moves that show you the possible work being done and fast.

I saw this today via a Google alert.

"Market attention recently turned to ongoing reports about DXC exploring strategic alternatives. Some analysts have noted renewed takeover interest from private equity groups, which likely stirred price volatility and new speculation about its true value."

Congo Brands, the parent company of Prime Hydration (co-founded by Logan Paul) and Alani Nu, is laying off 155 employees in North Texas by the end of 2025. The job cuts follow a $1.65 billion acquisition of Alani Nu by Celsius Holdings, finalized in April 2025.

Most of the affected workers are remote or field-based employees in Texas, including over 40 regional sales representatives and 26 account or marketing sales staff. The layoffs begin December 31 and come with no union representation or transfer (“bumping”) rights.

Alani Nu, known for its influencer marketing and fitness-focused energy drinks, has grown rapidly but now faces restructuring amid industry consolidation. The layoffs reflect broader corporate downsizing trends across the U.S. beverage sector in 2025, particularly in sales and marketing roles.

Hopefully SF is considering de-mutualizing in efforts to remain a force in the industry. Not to mention an IPO and/or being purchased by another stock company could be both beneficial for current and future employees… as well as attracting and retaining top talent.

With Sunoco acquiring Parkland, layoffs started Monday. Some employees laid off immediately, some of with working notice. Minimal severance apparently, the bare minimum.

Is Alvind purposely trying to pork up the balance sheet so much , he wants more obligations ?

I was told the company needs to be leaner and they need to bring down costs but what the he11 are these acquisitions for ?

Just good press? Bragging rights ?

Make it make sense

How far to go to reach 7K or another number?

So this is what a “market-based” company looks like? Since John Stankey took over as CEO in 2020, AT&T’s stock has gone nowhere, bouncing between $14 and $24 while billions were wasted on failed acquisitions, buybacks, pointless reorgs, and the most tone-deaf RTO policy in corporate America.

Five years in, zero shareholder value created. Billions burned. Morale at rock bottom. The “market” isn’t buying his strategy, and neither are the employees who actually keep this place running.

If Stankey really wants to be “market-based,” then start listening to what the market is saying: no confidence. Bring back flexibility, respect, and results-driven work. The 5-day RTO punishment failed. It’s time to admit it and move forward.

Are we really going to keep the woodlands office after divesting the anadarko?

Lots of buzz on this or they might end up selling one of the two - Merchant vs Financial - lucrative stock price!!! save the ship from sinking while Franky and his gangsters sip some luxurious wine, watching sunset from his beachfront villa , laugh it out on hard working associates who are about to be RIFd big time !!! What a shame s**ky Franky

I’ve been looking on this site for the past week and what I have gathered is nobody actually knows anything. Only thing I have seen is a lot of speculation. If you actually know something bring the proof. Also, does anybody think that maybe the acquisition of Frontier and once the acquisition goes through that will be the actual layoffs? Wouldn’t they just layoff the people that worked for Frontier if the jobs are already taken at Verizon? From what I’ve read Verizon will layoff 4,000-5,000+ people from Frontier once the acquisition is completed. I may be wrong but this makes sense.

So, I've been holding on to my Shel shares waiting for them to announce the move to the US. I figure that's the last rabbit to pull out of the old hat, and then the show is over. Honestly, shares have been on a rise lately and its been a decade since they've been this high and there is no discernible reason for the price to be this high. I've sold some just in case this is the highest they get. But I am speculating that the price jumps when Shell moves to the US. I mean its not value, its not growth potential, its not the buy-backs, its not the leadership and their vision. We're all waiting and hoping for the announcement that makes the shares jump so we can sell. Shows over soon I hope.

Any truth in this? I've heard multiple rumors that PNC is buying us. We are cutting expenses big time for a couple years now at anything middle market or under level. Something is in works but I am unsure if these rumors have any validity to them. Weird times we live in.

Is there any truth to this?

With some these cash strapped independent blues plans, you think the board is regretting the Cigna acquisition?

Could have had blue licenses in Minnesota, Michigan and others, probably for far less than 3.5 billion too.

Left hand to buy the right hand? Is it legal for Intel to buy a startup (not doing well at all) owned by the same CEO? Is it financial game/scam that Lip-Bu Tan is playing?

Does anyone have any more information on this?

The last I heard was the following;

APLA will transition to APAC, Latin America will join North America and CS will transition to a new role called VP, Global Geo Ops, which will be all about tying together the geos for consistency with a focus on brand and product. They will report directly to AM.

Even the market is calling CVE on their desperation to acquire MEG. Can this company do anything right? They overpay and undersell. Do they actively try to lose $$$. No wonder their stock price can’t creep higher than $25. Forever the bottom feeder in the E&P space.
