Anyone know which depts were impacted?

LMAO..WFH for the next three weeks!

How pathetic is it that Canon provides these slum-like conditions?

So embarrassing for a company of their size.

Just had a call with my new "leader" at Charter and was told in no uncertain terms "Move to Stamford of you are effectively resigning from the company." Nice right? Alex Taylor cared about one thing and one thing only - building his legacy within the family, regardless of the human capital losses.

Word down at the watering hole is that CFOs fixin' mandate to take a mighty sharp kn--e to everything, and he ain't fixing to waste any time doing it, neither.

Despite issuing a warn notice Gordon Brothers decided to pull the rug out from many Unexpecting employees on August 27. Gordon Brothers should be ashamed of their lack of integrity and compassion.

This video popped on in my queue yesterday by comedian Mike Polk talking about the Cleveland Browns. He refers to the stadium as a Factory of Sadness.

And I thought holy $hit, that’s Wells Fargo. A factory of sadness.

...I woke-up this morning & logged-in without coffee yet, dutiful as ever, only to be blasted half awoken by the new wallpaper shooting bright white laserbeams directly into my face.

You can't hate what this place has become enough. Just so fücking stupid & pointless to have no agency in even setting a desktop background. It's still burning into my face as I gripe.

Message/orders understood - I'll only ever work when it's light outside, fücking id--ts.

You really can drop to the bottom in one cycle. It is common when being transferred out of a group or after a CL promotion.

At what point do we stop calling this a “turnaround” and admit Nike’s leadership sc--wed up? The stock is sitting around $38.

That’s after years of bad decisions, losing momentum with younger customers, getting buried by competitors, and turning some of the most iconic shoes in the world into glorified clearance-rack inventory.

And somehow the people running the company are still getting paid like everything is going great.

Elliott Hill pulled in $36.3 million in 2026 after laying off thousands of hardworking people. Meanwhile, Nike’s stock is still nowhere near where it was a few years ago.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if VA eventually replaces EH as CEO. A lot of people senior leaders are frustrated that we still haven’t seen the turnaround everyone was promised.

EH is unable to get the business moving again, especially around innovation, product, and brand momentum, the board is going to have to seriously consider a change. VA could be a logical next choice given his experience and understanding of the company. Sad part is that we don’t have any good replacement options with our stock teetering in the 30’s.

What’s the scoop on the upcoming Hybrid Attendance Adherence meetings for Florence?

It makes no sense. Anyone has a plausable explanation?

Where would you place it?

Forget engineering and join legal. It's dynamic and creative, they are busy but well compensated. Cisco has developed this competency like no other company and this tells you a lot about the direction of the company - extract and protect is the mantra nowadays. Lawyers are not better than engineers, but here at Cisco they can thrive just because that's the game nowadays.

The 800 nurses working under the utilization review umbrella were lied to or was it a bait and switch? The nurses were told a new work hour schedule was in the works -the nurses would be notified this week and the new hours would start Monday 8/31/26
Today in an email that was very flip they ignored the fact they LIED and said the schedule would be released next week to start 09/30/26 Humana Values Really — Golden Rule — NO
—-Team with TRUST —NO
The Leaders all need to be Fired
Morale is at all time low
Not professional

I heard a rumor in the office today that the next round of layoffs is September 24th. Has anyone else heard this?

It's over, sycamore ran it into the ground. Sad day for past and present employees.

Paul Taylor was named President of DXC Technology, assuming the role from Raul Fernandez, who will continue as Chief Executive Officer.

Thoughts?

Has anyone heard about Target simplifying the organization in September?

How astonishingly cheap has Imperial Oil’s management become that they expect employees to bring their own lunch while celebrating one billion barrels produced at Kearl. Fifty billion dollars in potential revenue, and the big reward is… packing your own sandwich. John Whelan, hope things are comfortable up in the penthouse while everyone else is told to brown‑bag it.

BTC seems to have been told to aggressively schedule early morning meetings. No respect for working hours marked in Outlook.

Come on! Can we be real here!

Did Centene ever re-hire the people they fired for not getting the jab like the military did? If so…..NO THANKS, we learned that our life is way better off without working for Centene.

My company was just purchased by Ametek. What can we expect?

The new 12k grant - Is that just for 2027 with 3 year vesting? It better be every year.

Historically, we see org changes and layoffs in September/October. No one really knows but we are good at reading the signs. Anyone reading anything?

Director and AVP just left the company for data center start up. Everyone is scrambling.

So, as of this morning, there was a huge shakeup in Canton. Many people who supported the field and leadership are now gone. It seems like the clowns are now fully in charge of the circus. Not going to drop the names, but take a look around... and this is just weeks after another round was done. This is only the beginning; it's going to get worse.

Does Oxy have any assets on Lake America?

No reductions expected?

I've watched restructures and personnel decisions systematically remove anyone who was intelligent, trustworthy, or actually cared about employees. The company has spent years making sure there's no one left who can lead effectively. And now we're surprised things are falling apart?

I heard that “key” management personnel who interface with the industry in Calgary (i.e. Petroleum Club) will remain in Calgary. I wonder where they will have their office!! 🧐. And, who are these people?? 🥸

But they're also less likely to care about the company, sacrifice for it, or stick around. I wish the leadership would realize this.

What’s the new one show? The old one showed very minimal data points.

I guess those assets in Angola we are selling off aren’t technically being layed off.
But, probably a good thing to get out from under Chevron while they can.

Who’s next. APAC?

It’s hard not to see the company’s recent actions as deeply disingenuous.

For years, we were told that work-life balance mattered, that employee feedback was valued, and that engagement surveys actually influenced decisions. Today, those messages ring hollow.

Don’t forget what the company has done.

A year from now, there may be apologies like Meta did, polished messaging, and attempts to reframe the cuts and other measures as mistakes that went too far.

The narrative will likely be carefully crafted to sound optimistic and reassuring.

But by then, much of the institutional knowledge and experience may already be gone.

There seems to be an assumption that a younger workforce, combined with AI and fewer experienced employees, can simply replace what was lost.

That’s a dangerous assumption. Younger employees aren’t stupid, and Gen Z and the generations that follow are fully capable of recognizing when a company’s actions don’t match its words.

People remember how they were treated.

When experienced employees continue to leave and younger employees follow them out the door, we’ll see where the company is left.

You can’t erase years of institutional experience and expect everything to function as if nothing happened.

The biggest problem may not be the cuts themselves, it may be the loss of trust.

Once employees stop believing that the company genuinely values them, rebuilding that trust is far harder than any polished corporate message can fix.
