We need net Adds for Q1

Yep

Hey anyone who retired last year and eligible for 2025 bonus...did you get paid today and if yes, was it mailed or direct deposit?

If you've gotten the Fidelity email, VOTE. It is some of the little power we have to make our dissatisfaction known.

Stellantis sued Sky Auto Mall last week. The automaker alleges a $12 million financing fraud. Sky Auto Mall engaged in "double flooring" practices. This involved securing multiple loans for the same vehicles. The dealership subsequently laid off 76 employees.

So glad I held onto these as a level F. Selling when they hit the £6 mark.. tidy work if you can get it ...

I think it’s time for the fed to stop doing business with XRX hopefully putting SB, the EC, and the company out of their respective misery. We have sent so many jobs offshore that there should be a penalty.

This is a sinking ship…..#Sprint 101

Lookup your 24 months sales revenue for your branch…local domestic or international..

Is the current attrition rate consider normal after annual review or is the grass greener on the other side? (At this pace cpm won't be needed)

The push for crypto is embarrassing. It’s nothing more than hype and hot air. Everyone knows the space is dominated by grifters and speculation with little real value. Watching the company turn into a shill for it is honestly sickening. Its a waste of time and resources.

This is the kind of company where low-effort “people leaders” can work with you for a year and start misspelling your name as a way to depersonalize people and signal hierarchy and people are terrified to go take a 20 minute walk break. One of the worst cultures I’ve encountered.

I have always gone above and beyond for the last 6-7 years and was rewarded for it twice. One was a "game changer award" which was 1000 USD cash, and the other was a 12% raise. Both were awesome, don't get me wrong here!

The game changer award was my second year, and the 12% raise was my 4th year. Worked my a$$$ off for both of those but, I'm looking for a promotion and was essentially told by my manager a year or so ago that, promotions are generally given out to those OUTSIDE the USA as it's a bigger bang for the buck - and cheaper! and doesn't forsee promotions happening often in the US anytime soon.

Then last year they flattened the middle management level and we were put under a director who clearlly has no interest in managing 20 people.. So my hopes for promotion basically went down the drain.

I had ZERO expectations for raises this year but was hoping for at minimum 2.5-3%. Well I can't say that the 1.82% raise is worthy of me working harder than necessary anymore. The lowest raise I've ever gotten in the 7 years I've been here was 3.89% at Dell up until last week, and under a director who wants nothing to do with us - as we are not on the corporate side of Dell..

I love my job and my pay isn't bad at all and have worked my butt off for a promotion year after year but, am failing to see a reason to work harder than necessary at this point. I'm in Fed and we generally get forgotten about and never have a budget for ANYTHING. "budget isn't there" "money is tight this quarter" "we didn't get a budget" etc etc etc... We almost never get open REQ's either.

Now we are working under a director who tries to spend no more than 10 minutes in a 1x1, has no interest in getting to know anybody on a personal level, no interest in being involved in WHAT we are doing, all for a joke of a raise, or no chance of promotion.

Like I said, I actually do love my job but the extra work, volunteering to take on projects or extra work, etc... is no longer there for me. Promote me and sure, I'll take those things on but I'm not gonna do the work that an i7/i8/i9 does for half price.

Guess the dates and what is going to come as an onslaught . We all on in for the ride, maybe its time or maybe its not.

I see there were cuts yesterday, can we consider that done?

Watching the replay … Based on what I gathered from Alfonso, It is up to me which model I follow - Hybrid, In Office, WFH. “ think as adults, its a personal choice”

Here is the thread for today’s WF town hall. This is the place for employees to air their concerns and talk about the elephant in the room, real issues we as employees are facing and none of this amateurish soft ball questions nonsense!

Does anyone know the long term plans for Tailored Branch Support? Will it also be outsourced at some point or will it be a long-term position at EJ?

Alfonso just done an All hands. What a confusing All hands and a load of cr-p.

Layoffs are happening some senior employees walked out today

This company is a big fat tu-d. Specifically, it’s HPE Networking within a tu-d.

Does anyone have useful information to provide here?
Layoffs, site closures, etc? Please share.
This place has become a rant festival.

Wait being a inflexible employer doesn't get you productivity gains?

https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/5775420-remote-first-productivity-growth/

" The Flex Index finds that fully flexible companies grew revenues 1.7 times faster than mandate-driven firms from 2019 to 2024, even after adjusting for industry and size. "

All these layoffs and the stock price is still $283.58. Wasn’t that supposed to fix everything? Lol

It's amazing how many low-IQ people there are at Dell, many of whom are on this board.

For the last time, once and for all, Dell's medieval RTO policy was NEVER EVER EVER intended to increase productivity, improve team cohesiveness, or any one of the lies and propaganda vomited out by executive leadership.

It was ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS intended to make your life a living he-l, so much so that you ultimately quit on your own. This way Dell doesn't have to pay severance, nor does it have to incur any negative publicity as a result of wide-scale layoff announcements.

It's a BAIN trick. It's greed. It's selfishness. It's a lie, but it is today's Dell. Dell is doing everything it can to reduce headcount at the least cost possible. Get that through your heads. It's the only cohesive strategy leadership has right now.

What could be next?

https://www.barrons.com/articles/berkshire-deal-for-occidental-chemicals-unit-is-a-winner-51a720f0?siteid=yhoof2

OxyChem valuation up ~$3B since Oxy sold. Deal was done in tax inefficient manner. Oxy retained Environmental liabilities. Oxy didn’t try to sell to any other buyers and only negotiated with BRK. They have Vicki pegged as their mark.

This is why Oxy stock is sitting in the mid 50’s with oil at $100/bbl compared to significantly higher when Vicki became CEO and when Oxy acquired Anadarko. Buy high, sell low is not a winning strategy.

Any suggestions on making company better?

Rambeau out and Mehta takes over two out of three segments. What is going on?

2025 was entertaining, get the popcorn out for 2026. It should be a doozy.

Geoff transformed a strong healthy Oak into a decaying hollowed-out tree. TIMBER!!!

Enterprise software company Atlassian is laying off 1,600 employees, about 10% of its global workforce. This includes 63 workers in Washington state, primarily remote staff. The company is transitioning to an "AI-first company" model. CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes stated this is about adapting skill mixes for the future. CTO Rajeev Rajan, based in Seattle, will also step down. Atlassian shares are down over 50% this year.

I was w/AMN healthacare for 3 years as a certified remote video medical interpreter. I held consistent 5 star rating, so much so that every year my wages were raised, but today , about 200 of us received a bullsh-t internal email , an email that once read , dissapeared. I thought this was peculiar , but never thought it was a worse case scenario.The email was intenionally vague,it said that we were to place in "meeting " status ..I was working right till the time, then after finishing the call, i placed my self on " meeting" i waited along w others in the teams app, suddenly w/o warning , some collegues w sudden sadness starting writing they are letting all of us go...I couldnt believe it ! No , than you, nothing just a lame email afterwards, It was quite sad , we couldnt even say bye to our collegues.I will miss you guys ! AMN behaved like pu----s... I hope that company,

When I was in analytics at Accenture, they had a tool where you could see how many people at the company were hired after you. I checked it three months in, and 70% of the company had been hired after me. That is how high the turnover was.

My honest opinion is that Accenture exploits insecure overachievers. The company oversells projects, understaffs them, and then blames employees when they cannot make up the difference. And because so many of those employees are wired to overperform, they end up blaming themselves for a gap the company created in the first place.

To me, Accenture was the epitome of the emperor has no clothes. Everything felt like smoke and mirrors. Projects were sold on buzzwords, polished decks, and vague promises, but underneath all of that, the work often felt hollow. In reality, a lot of it seemed to come down to helping companies cut people so they could save money, just dressed up in corporate language.

Aside from government, I have never seen an organization so good at gaslighting. Their rhetoric is incredibly polished. Whoever handles their employer branding is very, very good at making the whole thing sound meaningful, exciting, and prestigious.

But my actual experience was one bad experience after another, including HR involvement. At a certain point, when something is clearly not right for you, life keeps pushing you until you finally leave. That is what it felt like.

What got to me most was how empty everything felt. I remember walking around feeling like I was looking for somebody real. Like, hello? Is anyone actually here? But everyone felt like a polished wax figure version of a person. Nobody was really saying anything. Nobody was really doing anything. I would sit in all hands meetings thinking, are you guys okay? It felt like this strange fraternity where everyone worshipped the same corporate god, and I just did not believe in it.

The work itself was also so general and vague that I never felt like I was building real, transferable skills. That was one of the worst parts. Friends of mine who worked there felt the same way. We would look at job postings elsewhere and think, I cannot actually do most of this. How is that possible after working at a company that is supposedly so respected?

That is what made it feel so trapping.

Somehow the company is revered, but at the same time, I felt less employable the longer I stayed.

Senior management will remain untouched, as usual. For every executive who keeps their job, dozens of us will have to go. They'll go by the numbers to make their selections, which means the better you are, and therefore the more you're paid, the higher your chances of being cut. This company is slowly cannibalizing itself to pay for grandiose decisions that never made business sense.

Fintech firm Block Inc. is implementing layoffs. Eighty-three employees in Arizona are being cut. Affected roles include engineering, design, and sales. These reductions are part of a broader company initiative. Block Inc. is reducing its global workforce by 4,000 people.

I've been working here for two years and still don't understand how they keep the lights on. The people running this place make decisions that hurt the business constantly. They ignore what customers want, run off good staff, and act surprised when sales drop. It's a miracle we're still around.

So when is it starting? I haven’t seen anything or has it happened and I missed it?
