Thank god I retired a couple of years ago. I milked the company for everything I could. The benefits have now been gutted by a greedy CEO. Now you are processed by AI when trying to do your job. Stankey looks at employees like a data stream. He sees employees as a drag on the company and not a positive. This guy has done more to destroy T than any of his predecessors. This guy is 20ish stock CEO loser I would say.

New Acquisition
New company purchased as I see more layoff posts on LinkedIn and numerous posts from India about just getting hired (as well as interns accepting roles).
New company is Ai related so at least they know stuff.
Low rolling resistance tire mandates for A2 residents?
A2 should be responsible and at least do our part for a better planet. That includes less skid marks from fast wearing non-green tires. Also, should do more research on soy or hemp-based tires. With AI, I believe this is now possible. See below how California is being a good steward of our planet:
The California Energy Commission has voted unanimously to require most replacement tires sold in the state to have as low rolling resistance as the tires a car originally came with from the factory.
self funded insurance "firewall"
is this a real thing or is sunlight need with AI and the question of records retention? are employees using too much insurance as to make themselves a liability?

Oracle is likely to die soon with Worldwide ban due to numerous backdoors
Oracle has been adding backdoor to their flagship Oracle Database for decades, whenever a patch is released to secure some kind of authentication hole or other security hole to bypass authentication, Oracle always add more security hole, they have been consistent to ensure someone can authenticate into Oracle products and do stuff like change database, delete database, these will be revealed in the coming month to serve one putpose: Force worldwide banning of Oracle products so the company collapse and take down the whole AI bubble
If you work for Oracle, leave ASAP!
Is AI usage tracked?
If so, don’t think top users will not be on the RIF list? I mean Dan is BIG into AI I would think this would be layoff criteria 100%
This is not just simple outsourcing.
Lets get this straight. This is not your typical outsourcing. Cognizant uses TriZetto Healthcare software platform. It uses agentic AI tools like Flowsource and Agent Foundry. You are losing your jobs to A.I. and the jobs lost are gone forever. No further humans needed.

Amazon Reduces Workforce Amid AI Investment
Amazon is permanently laying off 121 employees across multiple Washington state locations. These cuts impact various roles, from entry-level positions to vice president-level executives. The company is providing affected workers with 90 days to seek internal transfers. These layoffs are part of a larger trend of workforce reductions by Amazon. The company is significantly increasing its investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure.

WSIB Lays Off Hundreds Amid AI Integration Concerns
Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is undergoing significant layoffs, impacting 566 employees. Concurrently, concerns are surfacing from both affected staff and their union regarding the agency's increasing reliance on artificial intelligence. Employees report being tasked with training AI systems that may ultimately replace their roles. The union president expressed worries about the automation of work and potential diminished services for injured workers. The WSIB stated that technology has long been used to streamline administrative tasks and improve support.

California Mandates AI Disclosure in Layoffs
California is poised to enact a new law requiring businesses to disclose if artificial intelligence or automation is replacing workers during layoffs. This legislation, which has passed the state Senate, will expand existing layoff notification requirements. Employers will need to include information about AI or automation in their official layoff notices and reports to the state's labor agency. The bill aims to provide greater transparency for workers affected by technological displacement. Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the measure into law.

The Bolivar Revolution: The Org Chart May Be First Against the Wall
This is apparently my next “article,” because someone needs to do it. The starting point is Centene’s announcement of Bradley Bolivar as its new CIO.
For those who slept through history class, Simón Bolívar was “El Libertador,” the guy who helped lead multiple South American countries to independence from Spanish rule and had a habit of overthrowing the existing order. And now the new CIO is Bradley Bolivar, not Simón, and as far as I know they’re not related. But given what Bradley is walking into at Centene, the name is almost too good. So I’m calling my completely unlicensed prediction of what happens next The Bolivar Revolution.
I went digging because executive press releases tell you approximately nothing. Bolivar comes from Fannie Mae with a legitimately serious résumé in cloud, architecture, data, AI, automation, security, and enterprise transformation. And unlike some executive bios where “AI” magically appeared around November 2022, this guy appears to have actually done some of this sh-t.
The timing is also hilarious. Bolivar isn’t the only senior person leaving Fannie Mae. They’ve been going through major workforce and leadership upheaval, including roughly 1,200 departures in 2025 (8200 in 2024, 7000 now) and another recent purge of senior officials. Some of the latest eliminations were even attributed partly to increasing AI capabilities. So naturally Bradley likely looked around at that widespread organizational hellfire and apparently thought, ”You know where I’d like to go next? Centene.” 😉
Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/articles/trump-administration-dismisses-dozen-officials-194058657.html
Here’s my prediction. There are four ways this could go:
A: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Bolivar inherits Brian LeClaire’s organization, Susan Moon and DXE keep rolling, Accenture keeps collecting checks, “AI” gets stapled onto a few more PowerPoints, somebody invents six new acronyms, and eventually we declare the transformation transformed. (least likely)
B: The new sheriff starts asking questions. Why does this organization exist? Who owns this capability? Why is this outsourced? What exactly does this SOW produce? Where’s the data? How are we measuring value? And my personal favorite: why can’t Centene do this ourselves? Accenture probably isn’t going anywhere, but having to prove your value to the new CIO is a little different from being embedded by the old one, given this is basically the playbook they’ve used a few times before.
C: Fannie Mae South. This is the one to watch. Fannie is shedding experienced senior people at exactly the moment Bolivar takes over Centene technology. If one or two trusted Bolivar lieutenants suddenly change their LinkedIn employer to Centene, grab popcorn. Architecture, data, AI, engineering, security, and digital could start getting redrawn around his operating model rather than the one he inherited. As previously discussed by many, Moon and several others came from Brian LeClaire’s previous orbit. That’s how executive networks work. The interesting question is what happens when the new CIO shows up with a network of his own.
D: The plot twist. Bolivar eventually discovers that eliminating internal expertise, institutional knowledge, measurement, governance, and the annoying people who knew how all the pieces actually worked together wasn’t quite the efficiency play somebody thought it was. Centene quietly rebuilds the same connective tissue under exciting new names, adds three layers of management to it, and probably pays somebody $8-20 million to explain why it’s necessary.
My completely unlicensed crystal ball says B + C eventually produces D. Bolivar didn’t build his reputation maintaining somebody else’s org chart, and Sarah London didn’t say data, technology, and AI will “shape how we operate” because she wanted a caretaker CIO. The first real signal won’t be whatever shiny AI announcement comes next. Watch who follows him from Fannie, which boxes start moving at Centene, and which consulting SOWs suddenly have to explain why they exist.
There is at least one qualification we can probably remove from Bradley’s onboarding checklist: “Ability to navigate highly matrixed organizations.” The guy is leaving Fannie Mae amid leadership turnover, workforce reductions, political intervention, AI-driven job elimination, and general organizational hellfire, and walking directly into Centene.
He doesn’t need matrix training. He needs a helmet and directions to the bathroom.
Welcome to ”OneCenteam,” Bradley. You’ll be fine. 😂🍿
End of August review of Teradata vs. competitors
ChatGTP lays it out…Super-engineer sure is not pulling his weight.
2025–26 comparison
The comments were in a graph tha cannot be produced here, but this is what is covered:
Company
Recent revenue growth
Employee trend
What it tells us
Teradata
- 5% in 2025
~6,500 → 5,100 since 2023
Shrinking while trying to transform
Snowflake
- 29% FY2026 product revenue
Growing organization
Strong cloud/AI demand
MongoDB
- 23% FY2026 revenue
5,636 employees, up substantially over time
Strong expansion
Databricks
80% recent YoY growth
Expanding aggressively
Explosive AI/data growth
Teradata’s own numbers are particularly revealing. Its 2025 revenue fell 5% to $1.663 billion, while total ARR increased only 3%. Public-cloud ARR did grow 15%, which is the bright spot—but the company’s overall 2026 guidance calls for only 2–4% ARR growth and revenue ranging from down 2% to flat.
By comparison, Snowflake generated $4.47 billion of product revenue in FY2026, up 29%. Its remaining performance obligations were up 42%.
MongoDB’s FY2026 revenue was $2.46 billion, up 23%, and Atlas—the cloud part of its business—also grew 29%.
And Databricks is in another universe right now: it reported more than 80% year-over-year growth in Q2 2026 and a $7 billion annualized revenue run rate. In August, investors valued the private company at $190 billion.
The employee numbers are particularly telling
Teradata had approximately:
7,200 employees in 2021
7,000 in 2022
6,500 in 2023
5,700 in 2024
5,100 in 2025
That’s roughly a 29% reduction since 2021. Teradata’s SEC filings confirm the 6,500 figure in 2023 and 5,700 in 2024, while its 2025 filing reports approximately 5,100.
And this isn’t simply normal attrition. Teradata’s own filing says it initiated a restructuring to realign sales, reduce expenses and improve efficiency, with employee severance and related costs.
There’s an especially interesting development in 2026: Teradata reportedly told its 5,100 employees that there would be no normal annual salary increases, with the money being redirected toward AI investment. The CEO reportedly described the objective as winning in the market with AI.
And look at the stock:
This is perhaps the most objective measure of whether investors think the transformation is working.
Teradata’s own SEC filing shows that if you invested $100 in TDC at the end of 2020, it was worth $136 at the end of 2025.
The same $100 would have become:
$196 in the S&P 500
$258 in the S&P Information Technology Index
(with dividends reinvested)
So over that five-year period, Teradata substantially underperformed both the overall market and its technology sector.
I would be open to hearing any corrections to the numbers, but it looks like they tell a sad story.
CDOs are a joke. No Data No AI
CDO and his cdo s are a joke with no real transformation experience. They replaced one sales guy with another from non banking space. All believe in hero culture no collaboration or empowerment. Frontier banks lead with good data. This team is not it.
AZCH will fail, just a matter of when
Care1st was bought out by Wellcare & then Centene. This layoff was by far the worst & they allowed departments to pick who stays & goes based off personal gain & who would fall in line for AI. People have been let go for automation that has not even been made. Mission simplify infiltrated provider management in AZ. Before that, the entire provider enrollment and representative to group content was done in house. Centene has been outsourcing as much as they could prior to. Our enrollment departments are working against each other. We do our part & their third party vendor says f you were gonna follow own made up rules and things don't get in from the jump!
What If We Made Offshoring Cost the Same as Hiring Americans?
I'll start by saying this will never happen, but economically there is no downside to doing what is proposed below, and in fact in the long run, it would make Cigna and a lot of other corporations better.
A company can replace a $150,000 American worker with a $35,000 overseas worker and save $115,000.
Why should the tax code allow that enormous labor-cost arbitrage?
Under a simple 1-to-1 offshoring tax, if a company moves a job overseas, the difference between the comparable U.S. labor cost and the foreign labor cost would be taxed 100% and made completely nondeductible.
$150k American worker
$35k foreign worker
$115k offshoring tax
$150k total offshore cost
The company can still offshore. It just doesn't get to keep the entire savings from replacing American labor.
What would happen?
If 10 million jobs were realistically capable of being performed domestically and 70% returned, rather than the 70% - 30% split towards HIH, and a model becoming more popular among more and more corporations.
7 million jobs could return to America
Roughly $1.05 trillion in annual compensation could shift to American workers
The remaining offshore work could generate roughly $345 billion in federal tax revenue
More income would circulate through American households and businesses
Companies would have greater incentive to invest in American workers, AI, automation and productivity
But isn't this bad for "American competitiveness"?
That's the argument we constantly hear, but competitiveness for whom?
If an American worker costs $150k but produces substantially more useful work than a $35k offshore worker, comparing salaries alone is meaningless.
A worker who takes five times as long to complete a task and requires substantial rework isn't actually cheaper simply because their salary is one-quarter as much.
And making an American company pay American wages doesn't make China more productive. A highly educated, highly productive American workforce can make America more competitive.
What may become less competitive is the company's profit margin and, potentially, shareholder returns.
That's not necessarily the same thing as making America poorer.
A corporation can increase its profits by replacing American workers with cheaper foreign labor without producing a single additional product, invention or unit of economic output. It has simply shifted economic value from American labor to corporate profits.
So what is the actual downside for America?
There is an argument that this could cause certain services to become more expensive, however, there is ample historical evidence that insurance, and other services go up when the consumer base gets smaller, I.e. off-shoring causing unemployment.
Since that argument doesn't actually hold any weight the policy would also mean:
More American jobs.
Higher American wages.
More domestic spending.
More tax revenue.
More incentive to invest in American productivity.
Less dependence on foreign labor.
The government gains revenue. American workers gain employment and income. Corporations may make less profit, potentially, but for Cigna this probably even isn't true because there is a larger consumer base, but they can still be profitable.
So here's the question, is there a downside to doing something like this?
No. It isn't difficult to implement, you can look at a companies tax roll, or employment history to find out how to tax properly. Figuring out who is offshoring isn't difficult. It would mean more American workers, less stress, more money within the country, more information within the country, a better society, but this isn't what they want. They want to maximize profits, a corporation is a soulless enterprise, that has one goal, it is neither good nor evil, and the sooner we realize that and start to treat people like people again, the better off we will all be.
AI is planning and executing the redundancy it seems
They can't even do redundancies decent. A total joke.
Perspective Coming from a “forced” Retired Data & Process Engineer
I think C-Suite Executives consider replacing engineers with AI as being the equivalent of replacing humana cashiers with automated checkouts.
Well, all of you engineers know that the good ones know how to not just how to handle the “normal” mold fit scenarios but also how to handle scenarios that do not fit the mold and find innovative ways to come up with solutions that most others, including AI, would.
From what I have seen, AI even struggles handling the most basic tasks and processes without an abundance of handling by their human creators. So, as to the non-conforming mold fit processes, forget about it!
Why am I posting this? Because I am so sick of all the AI hype being shouted on the roof tops. Please, can we now start having real honest conversations as to the very limited scenarios for which AI maybe can be used?
Apparently the “Strong Foundation” Needed a New Foundation
At the risk of sounding like I’m “whining” to my opps… yeah, I’m talking to you. 😂
Lemme get this right… Centene just hired the former Fannie Mae CIO to lead technology, data, and AI.
Sarah London: ”We are entering a new era where data, technology and AI are not just business enablers, but strategic capabilities that shape how we operate, innovate and create value.”
Meanwhile they’ve been cutting internal technology capabilities, pushing a ton of work to Accenture and Cognizant, reorganizing everything that isn’t nailed down, and shedding institutional knowledge along the way.
And the new CIO says: “I look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place…”
😂
So… cut, outsource, reorganize, shed institutional knowledge, then announce that technology, data, and AI are strategic capabilities and hire someone to “build on the strong foundation.”
They are effin brilliant. 🙃

IBM Stock Is Under Pressure. Is Its Quantum Business Reason Enough to Buy?
https://www.barrons.com/articles/ibm-stock-quantum-computing-1384b7c4
By: Mackenzie Tatananni | Updated Aug 31, 2026, 11:11 am EDT / Original Aug 31, 2026, 10:39 am EDT
In their latest research note, Susquehanna analysts raised a question most tech investors probably have considered at least once: “When do investors need to own IBM for quantum?”
The line of questioning makes sense, considering IBM’s quantum division has drummed up plenty of attention in recent months—a bright spot at a time when the stock is under pressure.
Second-quarter earnings were the latest reminder of IBM’s sluggish organic growth, compounded by new threats including customers reallocating their budgets to artificial-intelligence hardware.
Shares have slumped 19% since July 14, anchored by a record plunge the same day IBM pre-announced earnings. In contrast, the S&P 500 has gained 2.1% over the same period.
As other business lines face headwinds, IBM’s quantum division has been a shining star in its portfolio. Susquehanna analyst James Friedman ticked off a number of recent developments including IBM’s acquisition of HRL Laboratories to bolster its hardware capabilities and a partnership with the Commerce Department to build Anderon, a standalone quantum chip foundry to serve IBM itself as well as industry players.
Still, it may seem difficult to consider quantum a cornerstone of IBM’s business. Although Big Blue has researched the technology since before the turn of the 21st century—and contributed to major scientific breakthroughs along the way—the effort generates paltry revenue. Researchers are banking on big technological advances before the end of the decade to usher in broader commercialization.
Friedman is tempering his expectations. “With a number of upcoming quantum catalysts on the horizon, each deliverable keeps accelerating,” he wrote Monday. “At the same time, there is a lot more to getting IBM’s fundamentals right as the other segments transform.”
The analyst flagged a renewed focus on software within the consulting arm, marked by a new leadership appointment, and limited growth in IBM’s Red Hat software business due to passing server supply constraints. There is also the “math of the mainframe cycle” to consider: Revenue was delayed rather than lost, with 40% of the deals that slipped in the second quarter closing early in the following period.
While Friedman remains Neutral-rated on IBM shares, he raised his price target to $235 from $225. The revision reflects upcoming catalysts expected to generate buzz around the technology, particularly the annual Quantum World Congress meeting in late September.

AI Hype
I love this company. I came here from a completely different industry 5 years ago. I was drawn by the owner’s story in a Harvard Business Review article. I still think it’s a great company, on the balance. What I wish the leaders would understand is that AI is an amplifier. If you feed it noise (e.g. “bad” data, unclear business logic / rules), it will amplify chaos. If you feed it good stuff like a piece of beautifully crafted music (e.g. well designed process with “good” data and clear rules), it can turn it into concert. How do you get the “good” stuff? Through your SMEs, through SMEs working closely together, TRUSTING each other, by respectfully challenging each other. It’s hard work. There’s no switch, no buttons you can press. You won’t get there by trusting outsiders, trusting people who agree with you at all times, trusting copilot AI slop, that’s how organizations walk off a cliff. It’s the same old boring things. Cleaner diet, exercise, good habits that determine good health outcomes. Don’t be tempted by the weight loss pills (eg GLP1), because not only are you NOT going to get what you want sustainably. There are a TON of unknown side effects that you will pay a hefty price for. Excellent output requires excellent inputs and excellent process. Right now, the market is up, and we have tolerance for trying out GLP1. What happens when the market is down? Still, I love this firm and its people, and I focus on the little I have control over. There is hope yet
EGC: John Stankey admitted to using AI to query what people are doing
It should come as no surprise but at the employee group conference Stankey admitted to using AI to query things like how many power points had a version of x or more, how many meetings include x or more people. This is what he's admitting to. Just a reminder that anything you do on a company device or product is more readily available than ever.

Wells Fargo Continues Workforce Reductions
Wells Fargo executives indicated that further layoffs are expected as the company aims to increase efficiency. Technology and AI are expected to play a role in achieving this goal. The bank has seen its employee count decrease for 24 consecutive quarters. Despite overall staff reductions, Wells Fargo is actively hiring in high-growth sectors and technology roles. This strategic hiring aims to expand market share and enhance client relationships.

Layoffs 6am on Monday
Layoffs will start 6am on Monday by email. Approx. 11,000 employees. No change in severance from last round. No garden leave- effective immediately. Retroactive WARN notices. Remember WARN also doesn’t apply to remote workers. A similar sized layoff in March. Nearly all teams are expected to solidify AI development processes even further. Teams will begin to transition to big picture small headcount silos. This will begin the shift and divestment from resources abroad to a smaller Oracle <90,000 employees by 2028

India Expansion Sets Table for More Layoffs
This was quietly just reported from Indian news sources:
TIAA Global Capabilities, an Indian subsidiary and strategic global delivery centre for TIAA (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America), has leased 255,713 square feet of office space in Pune.
Sign in for a more personalized Business Standard experience and never miss the stories that
According to lease-related documents accessed via Propstack, a real estate data analytics firm, TIAA Global Capabilities has leased the space for 10 years at Panchshil Vantage in Wagholi, with the contractual rent over the 10-year term estimated at around ₹320 crore.
TIAA Global Capabilities has leased the space from P-one Infrastructure “to carry out its business”, according to the deal-related document.
The lease is at ₹92 per square foot per month, translating into an initial monthly rent of about ₹2.35 crore, with a 15 per cent escalation every three years and a security deposit of ₹14.11 crore.
TIAA Global Capabilities, the technology and shared-services arm of the New York-based financial services firm TIAA, will take the space in two tranches. It will occupy 187,996 square feet across floors 5-7 from December 2026 and 67,717 square feet on floor 8 from June 2027.
In response to the queries sent by Business Standard, TIAA Global Capabilities said that 2026 marks 10 years of TIAA Global Capabilities’ presence in India, and this expansion reflects the continued growth and strategic importance of our India operations.
“As an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered GC, TIAA Global Capabilities has been scaling its footprint to support increasing demand across technology transformation, including artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, data and analytics, risk management, and client experience functions. This additional space in Pune will allow us to consolidate our teams and better support the range of capabilities we continue to build in the city, with scope for further growth as our operations evolve,” TIAA Global Capabilities noted.
Established in 2016 as TIAA's Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India, TIAA GC supports the organisation's technology, operations, and business-facing functions.
TIAA Global Capabilities already has offices in Mumbai and Pune, which house its 3,500 associates. The firm delivers high-quality global technology, operations and shared services to TIAA's businesses and associates.
Earlier, Pune recorded its highest half-yearly gross office space absorption volume in the last decade at 6.4 million square feet (msf) in the first half of calendar year 2026 (H1 2026), up 56 per cent year-on-year (YoY), according to property consultancy firm Savills India.
The city emerged as India's second-largest office market after Bengaluru. Leasing activity was primarily driven by IT-BPM, flexible workspaces, and engineering and manufacturing, with the latter replacing the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector among the top three demand drivers, Savills noted.
Scripps Stations Embrace AI, Cut Staff
E.W. Scripps Company has implemented widespread layoffs across its television stations to transition to a 24-hour AI-powered streaming model. This shift has resulted in a noticeable change in local newscasts, with reduced on-air talent and increased reliance on automated content. Viewers in Corpus Christi have expressed dissatisfaction with the new format at KRIS 6, citing a lack of personality and abrupt transitions. Many locals have indicated they are considering switching to competing news channels. The company aims for increased efficiency through this technological integration.

Employee survey question on process
Ever wondered why this question always scores the lowest?
I think that's because leaders don't give a flying f to people who can understand and fix the process. Process teams are either working on spi maintenance with low value, paid very low or buried under change managers who have no clue about the process. A handful of leaders in the organisation give importance to process and until process ideas move out of change teams, there's little hope for improvement here. AI is no help to a bad process. What do you think?

Anyone from IT Security here? Are they monitoring keystrokes and applying AI to it? How much is activity on your computers surveilled?
JPMorgan Reduces Jersey City Workforce
JPMorgan Chase has announced an additional 63 job cuts at its Jersey City office. This latest reduction brings the total number of layoffs at this location to 541 for the year. The company cited ongoing efforts to align staffing with business requirements as the reason for these actions. Artificial intelligence is reportedly contributing to staff reductions in certain departments. These cuts are part of a recurring pattern of workforce adjustments at the Jersey City site throughout 2026.
