I’m with the clinic side of things (I work for Kelsey Seybold which was acquired about 3 years back by Optum). Luckily they didn’t do layoffs for clinic side employees like some other teams have been handed, but they still have reduced our head count. I finally got tired of all the games managers play so I decided to voluntarily leave. I have never been happier. If you have a good enough emergency fund or side hustle, I highly recommend it for your mental health.

Some insight into how sleazy and embarrassing this company is for.

We have doctors that have literally told me they MUST order certain tests when a patient says certain key words. I have had the same physicians say they order tests and know they are a waste of time. They have also made comments that Optum is planning to dump the clinic model once they get their investment back and assumed return.

I don’t say these things to badmouth or spread fear. I say this because it’s true. This company could not care less about patient care. Or quality. Or even doing the right thing. Every email from Hemsley is a lie. The guy is a walking contradiction.

I feel for the ones that stay because they have to. Just know that there may be better options out there. This company is not worth your sense of self respect.

Is that a bad sign for what’s to come?

You've had 19 years of Stephenson & Stankey.

You have made the shareholders of T- Mobile rich.
You have made the shareholders of DTV rich - Stankey ran it into the ground.
You have made the shareholders of Time Warner rich - Stankey ran it into the ground.
You sank $10B into AT&T Mexico - Stankey sold it for $2B.

Stephenson's first day as AT&T's CEO your stock price was $37.63/share. And today?

You hire a dud as CEO. Sooner the Board admits this the sooner they can move on with actually hiring someone that can run this company. In the meantime, enjoy watching your company bleed value daily causing more and more necessary layoffs. Id--ts.

Will it be a little or a lot? Nobody knows except they will get sc--wed. Fire Enrique today.

Right? Too much debt, too much reliance on data centers, too much of being used to fulfil the dreams of a nepo-baby, and very little of doing what we're actually good at. This company has seen its best days and is never going back to those times. And I can't emphasize this enough, it's not too big to fail. Which we'll all realize in the coming years.

They spend millions to present shiiitshowwws

The streaming giant is implementing significant job cuts, eliminating approximately 1,000 positions globally. This represents about 6% of its total workforce and is the largest layoff round since 2022. These reductions are occurring as the company faces challenges with decelerating growth and customer engagement. The affected departments primarily include product, tech, legal, and human resources. Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos communicated these changes to employees.

I have another signal which I can't discuss. I don't have actual information to be clear. This is just speculations...

What did you buy your employee shares for? Ugh. Starlink doesn’t need a fiber line…like cell towers. Cell towers might become the next Fixed Wireless Internet ..too expensive to maintain…..who knows what the future holds.. Starlink putting a data center in space doesn’t need fiber lines either does it… yikes... I remember when Windstream sank below $5 a share.. then below $1 a share… and remember all those angry coworkers that invested in stock….almost seems like that was just yesterday.

Remember all MOW's. You get 10 sick days a year. Make sure you use them up before the new year!!!

Seems like the buyout hype came and went pretty quick. Is it safe to say this has passed?

Stock below $5.00. Just in time for 3rd quarter results followed by 4th quarter holiday layoffs.

Game is rigged for the pawns….

1. Make a hasty and uninformed decision, consulting only people who know nothing about anything (J and Yogi) and not anyone who actually knows.
2. Waste a few million dollars.
3. Reverse course.
4. Pretend that was the plan all along.

Genuine question. I've not worked at DXC for long but ive never worked for a company where most employees are just so deflated. Theres always some in all businesses but ive yet to meet anyone who has a single positive thing to say about DXC. The only thing DXC offers in a measly paycheck and if the town halls are anything to go by noone senior leader seems to want to address the topic of the slave wages they pay.

What caused the share price to tank by over 70% in less than a decade. And the company to always seem to be laying people off and in the short time ive been here every 2 months there's an announcement of senior leadership change.

How has this all happened???

Have they forgot the yearly enrollment?
HR needs to be HR-ing!

It’s IDP time. Can any Supervisor or Manager comment on how truly important the IDP is in the new S&D system?

It’s been a waste of time in the past from personal experience, but it appears it’s taking on new importance with the newly “improved system “

Frontier is done, Brightspeed is next and rather soon.

Why do they still have that useless guy that was kicked out of CIB in charge. SP if you are listening pls do it before you go.

There is no need for management in this day and time. They are all ignorant and slow down or throw a wrench in any progress in store. Positions in management are only filled by the most ridiculous and ignorant people. Please, Walmart Corp. Come up with a way for AI or something else to replace management and terminate all store level management. They serve zero purpose. Productivity and profits will greatly improve without them. We are wasting money, time, and productivity on ignorant people who do NOTHING!

Just got laid off this morning. Clearly this company values AI slop and outsourcing over anything remotely close to actually adhering to policy or making sure devs can actually get anything done. Only thing I'll miss is the money... and even then it's clear that was running out too thanks to the obscene (yet expected) greed of the Ivory Tower.

I guess they're not even doing waves of WFRs anymore. They probably play darts with names on the board every morning. Get out while you can.

Especially in D&AI hiring is a joke. I.e. process taking weeks and months and at the end you get no feedback from hiring manager. If you disagree then write your thoughts down here.

I mean, seriously man. What a waste.

There was a post about Spine, but it's no longer here.

The largest public companies in the Houston region are energy giants. Exxon Mobil had revenue of $324 billion in 2025, followed by Chevron, which had $185 billion, and Phillips 66, with about $132 billion.

Allegedly!

This forum is silent. Have you all lost the fight? Disappointing.

Kristi Dent (VP Network Ops) states she's not aware of any upcoming layoffs or RIFs. I'll assume she's referring to her organization specifically (Network Ops). I personally believe this to be true (based on current staffing needs). What are your thoughts?

Am I really the only one? Because reading these posts, it seems like everybody else hates Intel, with a vengeance.

Any changes?

But when will we, regular employees, see any benefit from it?

I know a few people, and I'm also looking for something else. Still, it looks like it's fewer people than I expected.

I worked there. I left to get away from their incompetence. It's so disheartening to see so many find their new home here.

Jeff bezos had 300k loan and just himself, a computer and stack of old books, yet grew it into Amazon. DST had hundreds of millions of dollars, thousands of technical staff and huge data centers yet it missed the ball and failed. Dst couldn't assign 1 programmer to do what bezos did? If so DST would have been amazon. But dst is gone and layoffs took an emotional toll on its staff

Honest question for anyone who’s been around Pawtucket a while. The Wizards side has had a lot of movement lately. MTG Arena won their union election this summer, and last week the D&D team and Studio X announced they’re going for one too, with CWA.

Meanwhile we’re being relocated to Boston by the end of the year, and I haven’t seen a single conversation about organizing. A move like that changes commutes, schedules, who gets an offer, and who doesn’t. If there was ever a time to have a seat at the table, you’d think it was now.

So what’s the story? Did anyone at HQ ever try to organize, or even float the idea? Did it fizzle, get shut down, or just never start? Has the Wizards news changed what anyone here thinks?

Not trying to stir anything up. Just curious.
