Antonio gets the ribbon

Stock was crushed because free cash flow is weak. Translation .... no more buildings to sell, not enough free cash anymore to buy back shares, component costs hitting margin, lack of innovation has resulted in stale comiditized products.

The only way to increase cash flow now is a massive layoff.

Put your thoughts on what the new CEO had to say today here

Llamasoft SCDP acquired for $1.5B out, Scoutbee in. No announcement.

Anyone else wondering about the big Town Hall meeting next week. It seemed very sudden and when I looked back at the old announcements they always have announced the meetings a month in advance. Also seems like a lot of people leaders will be on site for the meeting. Definitely seems like more bad news on the horizon...

Where do you really see this place in a year? Try not to be all doom and gloom.

textbook layoff, saw it coming but not this soon to me

Guess you can’t trust the markets to fairly set the market price based on the merits of your corporation’s actual running of the business. So, you have to revert to playing three card monte, hide the Queen.

Project Fuji was approved by workers council . But has never been announced yet . Is September the month ?

Trying to get rid of everones work cell phone now. how cheap can this company get can't even give a little compensation for making us use our personal phone. I'm actually for it now. when I leave let the clients call me so I can tell them to leave and how horrible everything is.

Someone just took a pic with our CEO and posted this... And it got1000+ likes... honestly surprised since I vomit in mouth just on the first paragraph 🤢

Today was one of the highlights of my 27-year career at ExxonMobil Baton Rouge. I had the opportunity to hear Darren Woods speak with employees and, as an added bonus, spend some time with him during a safety demo in the field. I was even fortunate enough to take a picture with him, something I'll remember for a long time.

What stood out most was his authenticity, transparency, and willingness to engage directly with employees. His answers to our questions were thoughtful, candid, and reaffirmed why I am proud to be part of this company.

One statement that particularly resonated with me was: "Not here to advise. Not here to consult. We are here to deliver." That mindset reflects what I've experienced throughout my career and why I remain passionate about the ... Blah blah...

I'd ask if they're done for the year, but I'm not that naive.

I've lost count of how many people walked out or were pushed out in the past 12 months.

Intel is running low of BS to try and attract money and pump up the stock going low, lower, lowest. Popcorn anyone ?

I asked ChatGPT to review this thread and other public info:

ChatGPT predicts 60-70% change of Layoffs in the next 6 months

When
September–October - High - Repeated late-Q3/early-Q4 activity, especially 2024

January–March - Very high- Strongest recurring pattern; year-end financial/budget decisions appear to feed into RIFs

The biggest thing I'd emphasize is January through March. That's not just a general corporate-layoff pattern — Highmark's own layoff history shows a particularly strong concentration there.
