NTNX will hit $10 again company will be forced to cut employees and sell

They are not able to sustain or compete

Sh-t place soon

Any kind of update or news would be greatly appreciated. You working on anything? Alex Chriss was more communicative.

Does anyone actually run this company? And what do they do all day?

What if every terminated Comcast employee, as a result of this unprecedented round of layoffs, refused to use any of Comcast services once terminated? Part of this has got to be for that bump in stock price that all the soul-less tech companies are doing/have done. How much of an impact to you think it would have? Let's say of the 180k workforce they lost 100k of subscribers in the month of Nov? (Arbitrary numbers folks, no insider info into the actual amount of layoffs.)

I heard some leadership announcement emails went out today, but I didn’t receive them. Could someone share a screenshot?

Eventually Fidelity will acquire Schwab?

Chevron moving forward in Argentina. Did executives make the right choice selling our acreage?

The reported pending reduction in force this is not something new in cable tv world. For those of us who have been around for a while, TCI did a massive reduction in force in 1996. Due to many of the things that I read on this board, lack of vision and reality by senior HQ management (Thank you Barry Marshall) sinking stock prices and the like. It just seems history has a way of repeating itself. Fortunately cable was still young at that point. we still had digital tv, vod, hsd, phone, wireless and security ahead of us with lots of opportunity for growth. And grow we did. Unfortunately I have yet to see what the next big thing is for cable to grow with. Just an old retired person's two cents!

Nielsen lost the TV business in New Zealand, so the office will be closed with a year by end of the current contract. All non US TV markets are sentenced to die within the next year or two, unless they sell the business, if there is any buyer!

Good morning Waters family! Umm what the fu-k am I saying? We are but only numbers to the people in charge!
You may think the waters experience can be grating, annoying, and downright depressing at times but let me enlighten you, all vendors are one inbred dysfunctional family!

Now I have wanted to jump ship from here lately and I have called my colleagues who have gone to the dark side. They tell me

The good!

Better pay. If that’s all you care about go on!

The bad!

Worse politics than here!
Elitist management clueless directors and senior directors who want to own you, and will never promote you
Cultish behavior to be lean!
Leadership is absolute trash!

I bet a lot of Verizon employees don’t know that the I2B channel just laid off all of its directors and about 34% of its account managers. Just an FYI.

Remind me, when was the most recent layoff? 2024? Under Biden?

Any core engineering or cybersecurity side ?

The Citi Workplace app is crashing after the latest iOS update. Download it and try booking your seats. When you can’t book one, you’ll have the perfect excuse not to come into the office next week.

Honestly, this organization is so stupid.

These layoffs are being done in such a ridiculous manner, prior corporate leaders who have never run a business or have the ever been an operational leader are making cuts based on McKinsey team who is mostly 20-30 year olds benchmarking. Cuts are being made with little knowledge or care on how they will impact customers, employees or our processes and systems. This is going to be a disaster. The LEADERSHIP is full of short term renter mentalities vs owners at this point.

That'd be it - that's the post. I really hope I do not get affected. Good luck all.

Only RVP left in each region with RSVPs having 1 VP and two Sr Directors.

Prediction:

• RSVPs have to be next as the reporting structure makes no sense

That's what Srini will do to the value of your company.

Disney has significantly reduced its global television presence over the past decade, shutting down approximately 130 channels worldwide. This strategic shift prioritizes streaming services over traditional linear television models. Many countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, have lost access to channels like Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD. While U.S. channels remain operational, the company is consolidating efforts into platforms like Hulu and Disney+. This restructuring is anticipated to lead to hundreds of layoffs as Disney pivots its focus to streaming.

So the list is still not finalized yet? Any director level folks here, can you confirm?

People assume a big company like 3M offers a secure career, but one assessment can put everything at risk. You are almost guaranteed to have better luck finding stability somewhere else.

Heard there were more layoffs in finance yesterday

how the heck is our country letting a key infustructor be controlled from out side the country

Post what you heard internally

When are employees expected to be notified?

Is this one major round of layoffs or the beginning of multiple waves?

I doubt they'd be able to to anything. Certainly not creating value.

Anyone has more info on this

Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and Tumblr, has commenced layoffs across several departments. These cuts follow a recent period of significant board upheaval and executive departures. The affected teams include communications, social media, WordPress.com, and the VIP enterprise business. Insiders anticipate further reductions in the coming months. The company stated these changes are staggered to provide generous severance packages.

Anything on upcoming layoffs?

Hi Comcasters -

First off let me say I’m sorry to all of you who are stressing about your roles. I can say that from being involved in the day to day of the budget planning that is associated with what is happening, things are being done relatively thoughtfully.

To get it out of the way, even though I have been working on this - I am also impacted and will be exiting on 12/31. Basically the work isn’t going to be there for me since the orgs that I have been supporting are going to be significantly reduced.

The cuts are broad, and are being lead by the SLT and a small handful of their directs, some of whom will also be exiting at the end of year.

The company is intending on going in a very different direction - broadband, mobile, video simply will keep the lights on. This means that people who helps keep the lights on, operationally, will be around. Techs who knows how the provisioning systems work. Billing experts who get CSG. Etc….

The people whose jobs were associated to finding revenue, sales, growth from mobile, broadband, video - they will be the ones most impacted.

We might have needed 8 people to run an email campaign for the mobile converged offers or 5 year price lock - and now, we really only need 3 to make it work.

Thats the best that I can share as I’m only close to the what’s happening and not privy to the “what’s next for Comcast” meetings.

Best of luck to those of you impacted. I’ll see you all on the job boards!

Update this thread with layoff info

Well....Skullcandy is now owned by Bose. Wonder how this is all going to fall out? Bose already had a small group in Utah.
