#company

I am just trying to understand what positivity anyone still has towards their job or this company after the constant hits to morale.

It’s official! We are going public. Nice to see Michael’s strategy finally paying off. Excited to see what the future holds as an S&P 500 company.

Most of what I’ve heard and read points to areas such as sales, marketing, operations, etc being impacted. How about analytics?

Does anyone know what the he-l is taking the company so long to issue the new picture ids, that they demanded back in October that we needed to do it or face discipline. No1 knows where or when they r getting sent out. Once again rush rush rush with this company n the left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing.

Is it common to receive an asset inventory request? Do they do that occasionally as part of a normal audit?

They shifted field service in several upper Midwest states to dealers last year. I'm hearing that they are about to do this same thing in a number of additional states. Does anybody know anything for sure?

It is not alive…
it is not dead…

It is just rotting.

I had a conflict and missed the Open Mic, I assumed they would send out a recoding but after that last email it seems likely they will not. Can anyone share what was spoken about? Are there more changes coming?

Now even less time for DXC. The AI bot who wrote the earnings call speech is now the DXC CEO.

Bloomfield Hills headquarters closure is in process. Simon Property Group's taking over. there are different threads on this. Good luck all

Simon & Schuster Implements Additional Layoffs

https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/99584-more-job-cuts-at-s-s.html

Simon & Schuster announced a new round of job cuts. This follows earlier "limited" staffing changes this week. Approximately 15 employees were affected across adult and children's divisions.

High-profile editors like Eamon Dolan and Colin Harrison were among those let go. These reductions are a response to current market conditions.

Just in headend will be contractors based also. They are currently looking at a few potential companies to take over....

Only people to blame are employees for letting this happen.. Chicken sh--s

https://youtu.be/7sk3qmIQZnI?si=ffHq_Sr2fIVkfh6y

It’s Friday. Last business day of the month. Seems like a good day to reduce headcount. Anybody get called into a last minute Teams meeting with your very complicit PL and an HR stooge yet?

Grubhub, now a part of Wonder, laid off at least 10 people from Merchant Network (or whatever it's called now). Many laid off employees had been there 10+ years. I don't think GH will last another two years at the rate Wonder is gutting it of long-term employees.

Has anyone heard about the hiring freeze in global risk management?

I doubt there will be any major layoffs in 2026. They want to look good with the old CEO is leaving and the new joining. There are still remote employees around that did not let go. Some they did, wonder their justification?

Share price at $110 and falling. What's going on behind the scenes? If it drops below $100 do you think they will punt SH and make layoffs?

So we are mercenaries if we prefer to work from home? He didn't even answer the question that was asked and then said we are an in-person company. No we aren't. Haven't been for awhile but gotta get those mercenaries into the office so we don't waste money on all our corporate real estate. No issue with coming into the office a few days a week but to call us mercenaries is a ludicrous thing to say. Do better Rick.

....drum roll please.....

Chris Cartwright!!!!!!!

Any news on CIP now that earnings are out?

Today marked six months since I was laid off.

I realized it in a strange way. I got in my car to grab coffee and, out of pure habit, drove straight to work. I was already pulling into the parking garage when it hit me: oh sht, I don’t work here anymore. I turned around and drove home.

When my wife asked where I’d been, I told her I was just driving and thinking. And I was. I thought about the people who were laid off before me, some of them were ten times the employee I ever was. They didn’t lose their jobs because of performance; they lost them because of bravado, politics, being labeled “too much,” or because the wrong VP didn’t like them. Most of them have landed great roles at other Fortune 100 companies.

My wife suggested I reach out to them, to call or email and ask for help. I told her I’d be surprised if any of them even responded. The truth is, several of them had reached out to me when they were let go, and I stayed silent. I didn’t want them back then. They felt like competition.

A lot of the people who stayed weren’t chosen for the quality of their work, but for who they knew, and honestly, being female or non-white didn’t hurt either. I’ve reached out to friends still at Chevron. No response. I’ve reached out to people who were laid off before me. No response.

I call them friends, but maybe we never were. Maybe we were just people using each other until there was no value left, and then we were discarded.

Right now, I feel like I’m walking alone, and it feels terrible. I made a lot of money as a 26+, but it’s lonely at the top (if you call 26+ the top), and it hurts to know people are calling you an a--hole behind your back. I tell myself “fu-k them,” but it still hurts.

It really hurts. I keep wishing I had been a genuine friend instead of just a company friend. I wish I had lived out the faith I claimed, instead of being a “corporate Christian,” saying the right things for appearances. Lately, everything hurts. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching, but I still feel empty.

Dan just said in his video

For everyone on here wanting to know departments, locations, that's the least of your worry. What you need to be seeing is the long term picture here for Cigna. Companies trim fat for multiple reasons. The reason everyone thinks is greed, that's partly true.

You can't sell a company as a whole or sell parts of it off if your numbers are horrible. Cigna is positioning themselves to be sold, the writing is on the wall. They need numbers to look good, number of employees to be good, everything has to line up 100% before they find a buyer for the company.

Mark my word, come back to this post later in. In less than a year this company is sold and part of it won't exist, other parts will. Those in the higher up spots will be compensated nicely b/c they made it profitable long enough for a sale.

What is your interpretation of the statement by CFO at kickoff —

“For every employee the bonus structure will shift to reflect the overall company performance”

How is this different from previous years? Just an excuse to water down already meager bonuses?

Any news on additional flexibility regarding RTO as mentioned by M.?

I would expect major layoffs before the new dude starts in April

He won't want to be the bad cop straight away so it will be done before then

Poor businesses.

I haven’t heard anything negative so far and have mostly heard good things. I’m interested in learning more about the management and overall work environment, as I’m considering applying in either Eddy County or Lea County.

I was laid off in November so I haven’t been back to the office since. Just curious to know how the survivors are faring?

DA already sc--wing it up

I'm trying to work remotely today and the WiFi says no connections available when in fact there are many available connections. For example, My cellphone is connect to the WiFi and I can see all of the WiFi connections from my phone. This happened to me last Thursday as well and when I went to the office it worked. Did the company decide to shut down WiFi and force employees to go to the office by shutting down the WiFi?

Does anybody affected mind sharing? Is it the same as usual or have they made any unexpected changes?

Reddit user posted that T-Mobile consumer side putting a lot pressure on Mobile Expert on pushing the credit card and if you are in the bottom 25% their potential for you to be laid off. Where did the uncarrier go !!

SAP in talks to buy or partner with N8N as its internal efforts to boost the next gen SAP Build falters big time with legacy platform.

Possbile news to be out in 2-4 weeks.
It gets even more critical to compete with lean AI first startups as SAP share price nose dives 17% after the announcement of financial results.
