Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on today's webcast?

How do you earn some quick cash when you've already shrunk the workforce? Sell off your Intellectual Property! You have to wonder why they weren't sold to Extreme Networks back in 2017 when Avaya sold off its failing <Ahem... non-core 😂) networking business.

Let em have it!

Anyone have info on the ABS migration? What is taking its place?

I just read the article in a News that company is about to layoff 200 people in Kosice, Slovakia by July 1. One of the cheapest places to hire people and yet, here we go. No one is sparred, not even cheap labor.

The nightmare that is Google!

Can you believe they post just a few days after the lovely HR email.

There is a link to ‘Highlights of investing in our people report’ and even a video. Exxon cares

Does anyone have any information on the next layoff. Who will be affected, possible dates?

Google ATT RTO lawsuit.

Can Mac users actually expect it to change any further?

It’s been awfully quiet lately, any updates?

Did anyone receive a copy of the benefits book in the mail even though they didn't request it? What's up with that?

Looks like Tara is out unceremoniously. No ‘pursuing other opportunities’ or other corporate speak just ‘bye Felicia’.

Who’s got the inside scoop?

Citi will be next to announce a 5 day RTO model. Almost certain the announcement will happen by July.

Good luck all. Doesn't it just make you sick that our CEO got a 30 million bonus but people still keep getting laid off? Makes me feel gross to work for this company.

Xerox is in the process of being sold.

Woodlands or Denver? Who’ll be left, reorganized, stressed waiting for the next hit?

Nvidia has reportedly spent more than a year exploring a deal for a large PC-focused company that it believes could reshape the PC and Server landscape!

This is a company that is slowly losing its identity. Rent-A-Center is now forcing their employees into becoming a Amazon drop off hub. This a desperation move to attempt new blood into Rent-A-Center. This means additional responsibilities for employees without any additional pay. So on top of begging clients to buy something, chasing after past due clients that just hide behind their doors, employees are expected to ship out a unrelated companies packages. Is it even Rent-A-Center anymore or just a company on life support?

Does anyone know how to over ride the stupid background picture of the USB stadium?
Seems management locked the settings.

What’s up with word floating around that the in office requirement is being updated to 9 hours for the day to count?

Heard a rumor it is higher for some teams versus others this year? e.g. EMTECH?

Which division under Baker Hughes would you say is the safest from layoffs?

Which division do you think will get hit the hardest?

The company as a whole seems to be in a downsizing strategy? Or do you see some areas with growth/increased hiring?

it is too big. Too bloated. Too bureaucratic.

I don't think EH can turn this big ship without grounding it.
Not even his Grandma can turn Nike around.

MP just rode the ride and let it get big.
JD drove this 18 wheeler to the ditch.
EH cannot pull it out the ditch nor has ability to pull it out.

Since you cannot turn around HMS Titanic in this harbor, the only solution is to cut the company into different pieces and run it separately and make it more aggressive.

Intel’s influence has quietly spread through Lenovo, specifically within IDG. There has been a clear shift in how things operate, and it is becoming harder to ignore. Leadership influence there now appears closely tied to Intel, and it shows in the decisions being made.
There is a strong sense of internal favoritism around that group. The same people continue to support each other, even when results are poor. At some point, it no longer looks like cohesion and starts to look like a lack of accountability.
The impact is obvious. Execution feels slower, more layered, and less effective. Energy is lower, confidence is slipping, and it is being noticed. It no longer feels like the same organization in that part of the business.

The network is being allowed to degrade while sociopath's are filling their pockets. US middle class is being gutted.... Way to go bootlicking middle and upper management!

The SUPER TOP SECRET ULTRA SECRET NDA project that everyone knows about called Maverick is getting close to it's official "roll out" live day and it's so far from ready that it's comical.

Sadly, many of you - specifically sales, ISG/CSG - are going to have the misfortune of "testing" it out. I know nothing about what these new tools are, what they are replacing (apparently DOMS is being "replaced" but that's been said for the last 20 years LOL) but I will say that you are all in for a horrible time when it goes live.

I think the deadline/go live date is mid May and so much of it is STILL being tested right now. Keep in mind the OG "go live date" was in February...

Godspeed my friends.

No surprises. Identical thing happened to Radio Shack, it’s like a rerun of a train wreck in slow motion.
Everyone thought it would be okay.
Didn’t turn out so well. Especially if you had a battery of the month club card. Not good.

It's a torture device that ends one way - you getting shown the door. PIPs have been used as an excuse to purge people for years, now they're just cranking it up. My advice is to play along, put zero effort into "improving," and spend every ounce of energy job hunting. XOM isn't the greatest company on earth. There are plenty of better places, smaller ones, often, that actually value their people.

They've got us stressed out constantly. No breaks, no rest, no relief. This company has completely taken over our lives.

If they've botched this single issue so thoroughly, is it any surprise the whole business feels like it's about to tip over?

It seems like prime real estate for a few divisions. Or are they just going to demolish it all? They wouldn’t sell it to Solventum. Supposedly they tried to buy it but 3M’s price was far too high.

What kind of company changes rules and then publishes bad data based on those changes? If I can't trust the data now then why should I trust it next month?

I have heard recently that all those who have "Needs significant improvement" in past 4-5 years will be terminated.

Has anyone heard about this? Like what the fu-k imperial was so understaffed with people working in stress.
This company only looks after the baseline.
