This question is mainly to the hWP folks. What pros and cons have you noticed so far in working with hGP processes and people?

Is it happening?

Because all the others have achieved so much, right?

I'm hearing too many rumors about it to just ignore it.

I don't trust them as far as I could throw them anymore.

Any idea what exactly F5 means when it calls itself "Human first approach". This must be "Leadership first approach". The layoffs happened just to shift the investments to AI, basically they can direct good employees who are laid off to the AI work with minimal training.

Hi everyone, I've been following this thread for about a year and figured I would introduce myself. I'm a reporter with WatersTechnology and I'm interested in understanding what is going on with the LSEG D&A/Refinitiv/Microsoft relationship. Please email me at nyela.graham@infopro-digital.com and I'd be happy to have a conversation.

Its quite quiet since formal takeover, nobody comments. What happens on sites?

This isn’t going to change

I heard sites are being shutdown today. Has anyone heard anything

All the people downvoting others saying that layoff will be today on 9/14 and 9/15 IDC… turns out those whistleblowers were indeed correct.

Bunch of clowns here downvoting good info for no reason.

Just heard from an IC, we’ll see if true

the world is moving so fast, especially at AI? why work for a wireless company who claimed they can do a PC. Look what the FU.

Well the Fall layoff has begun!

22 mins we shall see if we are sinking or still treading water after todays meeting!!!

To the affected: Are you remote or onsite manager ?

Anyone know which groups? I assume these next few a big layoffs.

Seriously I get a phone call from them trying to recruit me. I'm not coming to your company. Put me on your do not call list

Seriously, how much longer are we supposed to wait? It’s been almost a year already. When is OpenText finally going to sell ADM?

New Executive Vice President ,could not even understand him .Video had to have this brother under subtitles .Lowe's future is bright .boogaloo ja bo

I'm trying to figure out if it's just my group or it really is the entire company. I was forwarded an email from an entry level manager and the PDF attached claims to be company wide, but I didn't see an email from Bryan or anything. Just wondering if anyone else saw the original request. I'm not really setup to do this all the time, and will need to change my whole office to make it practical. Also not super excited about having to dress up and put makeup on every morning for no reason.

Nike doesn't belong there!
5 year losing streak? And still there?

Now more layoffs and losses coming

Hearing more and more chatter that the return-to-office mandate could soon be moving to 4 days a week.
Also hearing that VPN activity is being tracked to see when people are connecting remotely vs being in the office — and that use of company AI tools/prompts may be logged or monitored too, so worth remembering that what you type into work systems might not necessarily be private. 👀
Then this video pops up saying tougher office mandates can sometimes be used to drive natural attrition before bigger restructuring or layoffs…
Coincidence? Maybe. But with everything else going on, the timing is interesting. 😂

Fierce Network by Linda Hardesty, September 11, 2026

Speaking at last week’s Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology 2026 conference, Verizon CEO Dan Schulman emphasized four main things at Verizon over the past year: stopping the company from “being overly engineering focused and really be obsessed with our customer”, shaking up the company culture, efficiency, and delivering ROI for investors.

Schulman also spoke about Verizon’s prospects from providing fiber connectivity to hyperscalers for their AI buildouts, noting the company has a lot of dark fiber capability. “It opens up a quite large addressable market for us,” Schulman said. “It’s growing quite rapidly, and we have the right assets in place and experience to take advantage of it."

They aren't even talking about it.

Can anybody in the know share more about it?

Very disappointed that no email was sent corporate wide on remembering 9/11 and celebrating our first responders. Everything else seems to be celebrated or talked about, so this is a HUGE MISS by the company.
