It’s honestly wild, good for them buddying up with M.L. from the start and getting in his ear on who to cut, that’s worked out well so far! (For them) ….But hey smart move by HR, they all get promoted and never laid off. I’m not saying they don’t provide value overall, but I find it odd/maybe the reason that they are the kingpins of this failing company…

It’s been 5 years of this BA

Any tips on making our daily commute to Tuas more pleasant? I don’t know what to expect

The SIU townhall, which was already reduced from monthly to quarterly, was just canceled today for the 8/31/2026 scheduled date. The last SIU town hall was in May and the next one is not until November. Sabrina continues to demonstrate that she refuses to face us and take accountability!!

new CIO starts today, was CIO at Fannie Mae

Seeing another Chief executive hire this week and more VP hires. Can someone explain the logic?

Heard from someone it will be all week which is so brutal. What a nightmare of a company. I’m sure I. Cruz over HR is sleeping just fine though.

Seriously? I heard they’re running out of space and moving to a bigger location… all to make room for more hiring. Must be nice.

Why is this site now full of questions on india? I don't care about them, the computational team, how they will support their kids schooling et. Can we focus on the west as this is what this site is about. If those lot want to discuss india, then create a Shell bangalore section and talk away.

Very excellent engineers have been laid off……
Businessmen like Sassine only know about profits and keep reducing his holdings of the company's stocks at low levels, which shows that he has no intention of bringing the company towards normal profitability and only has his own interests in mind.
As a CEO, such a person will cause the company to collapse

Anyone in the US getting invites for the dreaded call?

Would someone be kind enough to monitor Slack's #General count?
I am ex-Oracle and have no access.

Go luck everyone and hope that everything works out for you.

Did EH fix us yet?

Pathetic

Anyone notice the trends last 2 years?

I think it’s about time to employ these “small” business losers and run it like a real insurance company

Our leader just hides while our company is attacked daily. This guy has no control over any situation or any type of plan. You just get 10 minutes of him reading off a script every three months on an earnings call. You can hear him flip the pages it’s so embarrassing.

These upper id--ts will just send in whatever they want and load up our backrooms and pi-s off store management. Mondelez upper management is so clueless.

Rumor is there is a hiring freeze. That makes sense with the state of the business, but I’ve seen 20+ people leave and mostly not get replaced. Just in the past 3 months.. In the few instances they have, the backfills old role remains open and the backfill is doing multiple jobs.

The vast majority that I have seen leave are actually good at what they do. Every one that I spoke to also confirmed they were getting paid much more at their new jobs outside the company. They have silently departed.

My boss is always nice and supportive, but I can tell that he is nervous too. He was very professional when I asked him about but said “at Pepsi, you always have to see the focus trends early and be prepared for layoffs at any time.” He’s been here 15+ years and knows his stuff, but I can tell it’s is really wearing on him lately.

What I need to remind myself is to start looking for another job now. Those 20 people were senior levels to me and good. That is a sign of how employees are being valued. The smart people figured this out before me.

Does any one have an idea when the reorganization will come to the refineries? I've heard rumors of October but if they announce the new chart then I don't know if layoffs will happen then or after the first of the year.

What is behind that Smile?

Got confirmation of October layoffs today in my org. Anyone else? Trying to see how big this one will be...

Why I have been hearing is a bit concerning. May be everyone already knows this. But they want to move the entire engineering teams to Offshire. Fully functioning teams. There will be an onshore counterpart for every team.

Reporting to Lesher in what they are calling a strategic advisory role as a vice chair of wholesale banking. Interesting to say the least!

Dan make sure you include the team behind the updates in the next round of rifs

Team Liquid has initiated another round of global layoffs affecting various departments. Sources indicate that revised financial forecasts and broader macroeconomic challenges are contributing factors. Shifting commercial investments within the gaming market are also cited as a reason for the cuts. The termination of a major partnership in May 2025 appears to have been a significant turning point for the organization. Team Liquid declined to comment on the situation.

What is up with the Voya 401k website? Broken links. No access to adjusting funds.

I mean we match on colors and both have a clowns running the show.

Can someone please explain to me the Horizon Challenge? Is this a new concept or a fancy name for an old problem? Thanks for any insights.

Ramon still going after adding $10 to our price

Any other groups receive a request for employees to provide their top 3 “accomplishments” this year? Seems odd for this outside of mid year / year end reviews.

Is all the bashing of Schwab and its senior leaders here really warranted? There's a reason why Schwab is consistently ranked a top employer in nearly every city where it has a campus. Because it's a really great place to work. The pay is well above average, the benefits are 1st class and the company does really care about its employees.

Now I don't kid myself. I know at some point that Schwab will need to make a decision in its interest that won't be in mine. I come to this site to get an idea of when that may happen so I can plan accordingly. Instead I just end up reading a bunch of nasty comments about how terrible the company is. Last summer we cancelled our lawn care service for financial reasons and now my husband cuts the grass. I would sure hate to think the crew that came out to my house each week was now online badmouthing me like a lot of you are doing to Schwab.

I love Schwab but I'm a realist. At some point they will probably lay me off. But til then, I am committed to giving them my best and so should the rest of you.
