1:1 scheduled with HR and VP today. 15 minute - important business update. In CB organization.

When a company begins having regular layoffs, the odds say that eventually your number will come up.

Are they going remote?

Billing, sales, repair, accessibility, or other niche remote groups?

Anyone heard of any impacts occurring yet?

Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000 employees — roughly a quarter of its global workforce — as the company looks to slash costs while investing heavily in artificial intelligence.

From what I understand, today will see the biggest impact. Can anybody confirm this?

Word downtown is that Conventional will get hit by end of Nov....too many supervisors anyway that don't add value....good luck everyone

Compared to other quarter results the share price didn't went down. I genuine had to laugh at some of the graphics in the presentation. Non sensical wave lines without any z or Y axis parameters, and nice stars on a BS chart.

Can anyone confirm and add info?

Reward the people who climb the ladder and make a difference, handsomely. But when a decision at the top fails spectacularly, boards should be able to claw back the bonuses on behalf of the customers and employees who pay for it.

Got invited to link up with my boss who I’ll be in town..anyone got the skinny. Odd timing

Kind of weird that HCL has not made a single statement to employees about how it was announced that they're under federal investigation for H1B abuse and had their ability to apply for new ones revoked.

30 minute meeting - i think it's time

Some of you are frustrated and that’s fine. But if your posts are primarily aimed at tearing the company down, you’re not “telling the truth,” you’re creating noise. Noise doesn’t fix systems, it just drains energy from people who are trying to work. If there’s a real problem, bring it in a way that can be addressed:

• Name the issue clearly. (what happened, where, when; no broad rants).
• Describe the impact (who is affected and how).
• Offer a path forward (what you want changed, and what you’ve tried).
  And if you’ve concluded this place isn’t for you, that’s your decision. Make a plan to leave, silently, professionally, and on your timeline. What you shouldn’t do is stay and keep adding toxicity, then act surprised when morale drops and the workplace becomes worse for everyone.
  Be specific. Be responsible. Either help build the fix or exit the problem.
  This forum has recently been nothing but toxic negativity. Prior to coming to Centene I was very unhappy working for a company that was not a good fit and what did I do? I left. It took over a year of searching but I got out. Centene has been an amazing workplace for me. If you think this is the only company that has toxic employees or issues you are sadly mistaken. Look at all the other big healthcare company forums they all have problems. So do yourself a favor and be part of the solution. If you are unhappy and hate your boss I’m sorry this is happening but take control of your career. These corporations don’t care about your problems. They are paying you to work. So come in work and leave. You will be happier in the long run.

Rumour has it S&SPS if away to be sold off. who noticed some big dogs jumping ship already....

From what I heard, the laid off employee badges stop working on Thursday. So, it could assumed that all of the announcements will be by the end of Wednesday. Our org is having an impromptu meeting at the end of the week. That jibes with this assumption.

PepsiCo Director Loads Up: 184,646 Shares Added in One Day

Pohlad Piles Into Pepsi: Director’s Stake Jumps 74% as the Stock Slides

Let’s be honest about what happened this year.

Oracle cut 21,000 people in twelve months, 13% of the company, and then came back in September for more. The filing says it’s “the adoption of AI.” That’s the polite version. The real version is that leadership bet the company on data centers it can’t afford, borrowed tens of billions to build them, and decided the cheapest line item to cut was us.

We didn’t find out from our managers. We found out from a 6 a.m. email signed “Oracle Leadership,” a signature with no human name on it, because no actual person wanted to put their name on it. Some people found out when their badge and laptop stopped working before the email even arrived. Years of quota, on-call weekends, and customer escalations, and the exit interview was an Okta error.

Meanwhile, the stock run made the chairman the richest man on the planet. Think about that. The same balance sheet that couldn’t carry your salary had plenty of room for the biggest personal fortune on Earth. Nobody at the top took a haircut. Nobody at the top got a 6 a.m. email.

And spare me the “AI efficiency” line. AI didn’t take your job. A $90 billion capex plan took your job, and AI is the press release. If the tools were really replacing headcount, they wouldn’t need to cut sales, customer success, and Health in the same breath as they promise customers better service.

This is the same company that turned license audits into a revenue strategy and turned Java into a compliance trap. Treating employees like a line item to be optimized away isn’t a new Oracle. It’s the same Oracle, just finally saying the quiet part with a layoff email instead of an audit letter.

To everyone who got cut: you weren’t the problem. You were the funding source.

To everyone still there: look at the capex number, look at the debt, and ask yourself who’s next in the queue when the next round of financing comes due.

Looks like PayPal submitted a warn notice for 251 layoffs in California on oct 31. I believe California has stricter warn laws. So it maybe country wide

What say?

Good riddance. Any interesting stories from folks who worked in Greenspoint over the years?

I was in GP8 throughout the '90s and early 00's and was mugged in the parking garage one day after getting off work - a relatively minor incident compared to some of my other co-workers. Company security was a joke and many of the police were afraid of actually performing their job in the area.

dropping like a rock. Not looking good.

If you see visa abuse by company and applicants.

Anyone hear of any changes in the Heartland Region??

The CEO is a complete mo--n.

Who has the dirt?

Narrowly escaped the cuts from last year. Any word on severance packages for these rounds?

Has anyone been asked by their VP to put a prompt into their Copilot to analyze their personal work context from the last 60-90 days?

Not a fan of the midnight email, or the “timing will vary” messaging around the upcoming layoffs.
Anyone hearing any swirl in their departments?

So much contradictory info on this.

Circling above...

Does anybody know more about this?

This morning According to BizJournals, Humana eliminated positions recently.  Didn’t say how many but they would not bothered to have reported if the number was inconsequential.
