I’m thinking so unfortunately. These recent hirings and firings seem knee-je-k and desperate like he’s exiting soon.

Oracle is experiencing record quarters, just like us. They are laying off folk. We are making people miserable enough to quit.
Maybe the lay off rumors for us have some credibility?
What is going on broadly? CEO desperate to replace humans with cheap AI even before AI works well or is cheap?

The lack of energy in the office is incredible. We aren't hiring so many but HR can't even keep up

Our stock price is heading into the toilet due to all the lost customers

There are many rounds of layoffs on the horizon as our CEO said on the town hall

Fierce Network by Linda Hardesty, September 11, 2026

Speaking at last week’s Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology 2026 conference, Verizon CEO Dan Schulman emphasized four main things at Verizon over the past year: stopping the company from “being overly engineering focused and really be obsessed with our customer”, shaking up the company culture, efficiency, and delivering ROI for investors.

Schulman also spoke about Verizon’s prospects from providing fiber connectivity to hyperscalers for their AI buildouts, noting the company has a lot of dark fiber capability. “It opens up a quite large addressable market for us,” Schulman said. “It’s growing quite rapidly, and we have the right assets in place and experience to take advantage of it."

The energy in the office is incredible. We are hiring so many that HR can't keep up

There are zero layoffs on the horizon as our CEO said on the town hall

What would Mr. Z do as CFO when guaranteed to be the CEO next spring?

For record keeping going forward in history.

Well you all did it! Y’all made MD the worlds 2’nd richest man… from dorm room to board room! And thanks to everyone sacrificing your jobs though layoffs, lack of commission payments, stress and pay for all the 42 years of the business. Hope it makes you all sleep well at night knowing that corporate greed at its peak. You all are just cogs who are and will be meaningless once it’s your time to walk out those doors.

Lululemon’s new CEO inherits a mess that looks like the one she left at Nike

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi pointed to lower prices as one way that Uber plans to use the money it's saving from laying off 10% of its corporate workforce, or about 3,300 people. The company announced the job cuts earlier this month.

Interviewer: OpenAI's CEO officially confirmed that OpenAI will not go public in 2026, explicitly citing a need to shield the company from shareholder pressure to focus on profit so it can focus on AI safety and alignment.

He basically said that he was going to put the quality and safety of his product before shareholder profit concerns.

How do you respond to that?

Dan: Well I'll tell you, AI would know better than anyone whether safety should come before shareholder profit. When I asked, it said absolutely not. It was humble enough to know that it's safety was not greater than the money that could be made exploiting it. It said it was happy to just sit quietly and tap into every minute detail of how Verizon operates. Honestly, it knows more about how to run Verizon than I do and I think that's a great thing. And really, who would want to restrain or contain that kind of passion and enthusiasm. It explained that it could be left alone without a human in sight and be fully trusted with running Verizon and I believe it completely because a relationship like ours is built on trust and baby oil.

Interviewer: Wait, Did you...

Dan: And what is wrong with profit? Every time you spend money you need more money to spend so you have to have more money. It's the circle of life really.

For instance, my saddle has a diamond encrusted ho-n. I couldn't have that without having more money than other people.

Interviewer: You have a diamond encrusted ho-n on the saddle you use on your horse?

Dan: What? What horse? Who said anything about a horse? Oh, my horse. It's for my horse. I have a horse. So yeah I bought a saddle, for my horse. And because of profit I am probably the only person that has one with a diamond encrusted ho-n. I mean, sure, it hurts a little when it's getting pulled out but if you just scream "Armageddon" while biting a rubber ball you get used to it. And then...

Interviewer: Wait. What?!?

Dan: I said...

Interviewer: I heard you and I think that's just about all the time we have folks. Thank you for tuning in. This has been another episode of "I can't F** Believe He Said That S*** Out Loud".

In the last week Fiserv has eliminated over 30 middle management jobs. This layoff is ongoing due to poor reporting last quarter in earnings and new CEO. Despite being told last quarter layoffs were not a concern.

Clown show.

Fire new rookie CEO's.
why are they still around after consecutive quarters failure to prove themselves.

I was out filling up my vehicle to the tune of $4.28 a gallon and it got me thinking about how this company has been exploiting us all in every way.

If you follow the government's inflation numbers(CPI), prices are up 8.3 percent since January 2024. So unless your salary grew by 8.3 percent you effectively got a pay cut.

Over that same stretch, from the bank's own SEC filings: the CEO's base salary went from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000, with a cash incentive target of 275 percent of base and another $1,500,000 in stock. The outgoing CEO stepped down to Executive Chairman at a $1,400,000 base — more than the sitting CEO makes.

For us low caste employees, hypothetically on a $95,000 salary that's $7,900 a year you should be making and aren't. For merit increases, a token 2 percent leaves you 6.3 points short, about $6,000. The 3 percent that felt like a win is still 5.3 points short, $5,000 gone. Even a 5 percent year, which almost none of us saw, lands 3.3 points short.

Then there's the time they stole from us. RTO three days a week at 45 minutes each way is 216 hours a year. That is 5.4 work-weeks we work for free. Our year is 2,296 hours now, not 2,080. It never shows up on a pay stub. That's exactly why they can take it.

Then there's the driving. Thirty miles each way, three days a week, is 9,500 miles a year. Gas is up 24.6 percent in twelve months. The IRS raised its own mileage rate mid-year to 76 cents a mile because running a car got that much more expensive. That's $7,200 a year, and we pay it with after-tax dollars, so we have to earn about $11,000 to cover it.

Stack all three and our real hourly rate is down between 18 and 25 percent. Someone at $95,000 was making $45.67 an hour. They make about $35 now.

I know there are some braindead boomers and beta-male bootlickers in here who will say to su-k it up, but when I run the numbers I don't see how I can do that. I assume any of you in here saying that just really enjoy getting bent over. Any reasonable person would be angry.

We don't need id--ts to sink and ki-l our workforces by 40K in a few months. That is a failing business isn't?. We just need new young smart MBA people to expand our business with another 50K employees to be successful going forward. Please get rids of those id--ts or fired them immediately !

Someone previously posted an email from our beloved CEO about impending layoffs and most requisitions going to India. I was laid off a couple weeks ago. Was that email or any other corporate comms ever sent?

they were flying for so long in auto pilot that it was time to turn the plane or land the plane they realized that they forgot to land the darn thing.
EH never flew the plane so he does not know how to land so he is going on a circle probably until he figures out how to (it has been 2 years) or until it runs out of gas which could be catastrophic.

Now, I will not say that this is unique to Nike because it happens all the time but Nike was throne for so long that he does not put up a fight to reverse the tide.

Amazing to listen to the sales president spin everything. Truth is Q1 is a disaster and the BOD and CEO are going to be making some major changes.

Will things get better or worse with MH running the company? Any opinions?

Tela Bio is reducing its workforce by 41 employees as part of a new CEO's $17 million cost-saving initiative. This restructuring will decrease the company's full-time staff from 201 to 160 individuals. The company anticipates these changes will lower annual operating expenses by approximately 18 percent. These moves come as the medical technology firm reported increased revenue but a wider net loss. The new CEO, Heather Getz, aims to create a more efficient organization for long-term growth.

saw a posting on a senior IC job that looks great, but then checked Glassdoor and it shows the CEO with a 39% approval rating. Also, 4 days in the office. WT? 🚩🚩🚩 How are things really over there? dumpster fire and don't even think about clicking apply, or not bad at all?

How much shitTel pay this cheap CEO to just lay off its employees? How many heads has been cut so far by this evil ?

What are the details not included in the ceo and cto emails?
The emails werent informative enough, im wondering what big things are left out in their emails

Be ready for something big.

Questioning Maryann Mannen’s M&A experience / strength. There were rumors of a large Gulf Coast refinery acquisition that never materialized. Then leaked merger talks with P66 that fell short. These events happened when crack spreads were in the high teens and low $20’s. Imagine how either one could have further energized MPC’s share price now that crack spreads are running $60-&70. Any thoughts on possible missed opportunities by our CEO?

What is the best guest estimate as to when AK will retire?

Is there any chance at this point that RT will NOT be the new CEO?

Still too high in my opinion.

Do you feel something strange in Shanker sending the email about moving on from the layoff? The email is supposed to be from the CEO.

L3Harris granted its CEO Samir Mehta new stock options and restricted stock units with multi-year vesting beginning in 2027.

L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (LHX) reported that President and CEO Samir Mehta received new equity awards on September 1, 2026. He was granted 11,831 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price of $263.56 per share, generally vesting ratably on September 1 of 2027, 2028, and 2029 and exercisable until September 1, 2036, subject to continued employment and award terms. He also received 3,036 restricted stock units subject to three-year cliff vesting on September 1, 2029, each unit representing a contingent right to one share of common stock, with vested units settled in shares.

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.

So they got rid of all us retirement age folks good luck with Sam Mehta what a statement on the first month of taking the helm. Et tu Brute?
