Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.

They are looking at them and writing employees up for non-work related content. No jokes, no whitty banter, nothing personal. Always use your cell to communicate.

Employee Morale and Shareholder Value.

What were the ratings exceeds, meets and what else?

Summary

Target faces intensifying e-commerce headwinds, particularly from Amazon, undermining its long-term growth prospects.
I see TGT’s recent activist involvement and 13x forward earnings multiple as a potential value trap, not a buying opportunity.
Management’s AI and infrastructure investments may not offset declining comps, margin pressure, and competitive disadvantages versus AMZN.
I reiterate my "Sell" rating, expecting further margin deterioration and negative top-line growth absent a credible turnaround catalyst.

Number of people dying from bad management decisions. Both companies have deaths associated with managers ignoring senior technical personnel and violating company and industry safety standards. VP of drilling never drilled a well. VP of completions never completed a well. What could possibly go wrong with this logic? Hire more VPs and fire more engineers. Bankrupt the company using the CEO's playbook that has been finely tuned to make executive management rich. Life is karma. You can't keep this up forever.

Bill Flynn saved the company. We need another Bill Flynn. Our execution sux. It takes forever for everything & anything. No efficiency. No competency. No urgency. Top brass don't care. Why ? B/C they will collect soon on $2.5M-$3M pensions & sail into the sunset w/no worries. Take away their pensions & who will crawling to daddy and mommy now ? The Board don't care. They collect $200K per year to listen to sugar coated versions of alternate reality. No checks. No balance. No accountability. No care in the world. Crony capitalism. Nepotism. When's the last time any board member had lunch with a rank and file employee ? When have the met in a roundtable setting with employees ? When have they led and attended focus groups of clients ? Never ! Board is not accessible. Not approachable. Doesn't truly care about the company employees or clients because they are silent and invisible.

Has anyone heard anything more about the in office changes?

was in outlets and Nike stores during holiday shopping with family. And they all had tons of AJs, AFs, Dunks and other classic styles by the tons and in deep discounts.
After this effort by Nike, I don't think that anyone with correct mindset will pay outrageous and bloated Nike Classic products in the future.
JD and Nike management couldn't stand resellers and tried to get rid of them. They couldn't stand the fact that anyone was making money off their product. Well they succeeded!! Because no one will touch it!! Nike Classics RIP, you are dead and buried.

Nike management in their infinite wisdom tried to ki-l all the roaches but ended up burning down the whole farm. LOL what a joke.

I have talked to few of the resellers and afficionados that I know and they are all out of the business. And they are so burned, they will not touch Nike products with 10 foot pole.

At least they had the class to wait until after the holidays.

Did we get lucky and that rumor turned out to be false or was it moved to the start of next year?

Should Dell be included?

Just submitted my charitable donation matching request to Fidelity Foundation and happy to see my humble donation to my cause was tripled! Yes, Fidelity match 200% of your charitable donation.

2025 was a good year for me, a foot soldier who worked honestly as always and was rewarded fairly by Fidelity. I wish those middle managements who leech off my work and those coasters who steal their salary from Fidelity be cut off in 2026, so Fidelity becomes a even better work place!

Scratching my head on this one…. What kids dad got him a CEO job at Huntington? It shows.

Hearing rumours that an IPO is coming in the new financial year. Looks like things will continue to be destabilised

In 2026, name 5 things the company will do to actually raise revenue. Not cut expenses. You can't cut your way to profitability but raise revenue. Company is chickens_hit & is scared as he_ll to raise revenue. Just do it. Figure out a way. Company must find a way to raise money quick. Adapt or D-ie !! Smart firms figure out ways to increase revenue. Why can't mutual figure this out ?

What’s everyone’s best guess on what will happen with the company in the coming year? Good, bad or ugly

Synovus will ruin Pinnacle IMO. Sorry for anyone that works there.

Opened LinkedIn on this Monday morning to find lots of resignation announcements. What’s going on?

Are they taking internal transfers or only series 7 from other RIA's? What's their new branding gonna be? "Telling clients the truth.......since 2021?"

In my opinion here is what is happening with Belk. I believe they have saw what is actually work for Macy’s and Belk is going to give it a shot. Macy’s is opening up smaller format stores that seem to be doing quite well for the brand, but at the same time they are closing their stores that are simply not profitable anymore and putting more focus into their “go-forward” stores. This strategy is all too similar to what Belk is doing. I do believe we will see several more store closures with Belk in the new year but honestly if this can help the company I believe it should be done. I mean it is working for Macy’s as they saw their first sales increase and positive outlook for the first time in several years.

A teammate who got laid off in the last round spent weeks helping a new hire learn the job, showing him the ropes, answering questions, in essence, training the person who would take over. And then suddenly, she's gone, without warning. The new hire is now doing her old role. I can’t wrap my head around how companies actually do this.

I can't figure out why would you do mass layoffs without truly considering the people and rolls you are cutting? They just got rid of people blindly without thinking about the impact on the future of the company. Who does that?

The Stop & Shop in Clinton will close as the company "has made the difficult decision not to renew the lease for our store," according to Stephanie Cunha, a spokesperson for Stop & Shop.

The people are smart, supportive, and easy to work with, especially offshore IT teams and there’s a real sense that everyone’s pulling in the same direction. Management gives you room to do your job without micromanaging, and the focus on long-term thinking makes the work feel meaningful instead of rushed. It’s a solid, positive environment overall. Five star company for sure.

All the rumors were false and the future is bright for now. Happy new year

What are they going to present at CES? Do you think they will roll out the robot dog again? 😊

(Bloomberg) – ExxonMobil plans to cut about 2,000 jobs globally as the Texas oil company consolidates smaller offices into regional hubs as part of its long-term restructuring plan.

The reductions represent about 3% to 4% of Exxon’s global workforce and are part of the company’s ongoing efficiency drive, Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods said in an memo to employees Tuesday. Calgary-based Imperial Oil Ltd., which is nearly 70% owned by Exxon, announced Monday it is cutting 20% of its workforce.

Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips and bp Plc are among major oil companies to have also announced thousands of job cuts in recent months as crude prices tumbled this year in response to increased supplies from OPEC and its allies. Exxon, however, has been on a major internal restructuring push since 2019 as Woods sought to simplify the company’s sprawling global footprint that came as a result of the merger with Mobil two decades ago.

Exxon is making “tough decisions” that build upon a years-long effort to improve competitiveness, Woods said in the memo. “The changes we’ve announced today will further strengthen our advantages and grow the gap with our competition, helping to keep us in the lead for decades to come,” he said.

Exxon declined to comment beyond the employee memo.

The regional hubs will focus on Exxon’s major growth initiatives such as oil in Guyana, liquefied natural gas along the Gulf Coast and trading globally. For example, the company recently announced plans to move employees from Brussels and Leatherhead, UK, to central London, where many of its traders are based.

Exxon had nine functional companies that operated relatively independently from one another when Woods took over in 2017, creating layers of bureaucracy and duplication of support services. The company now has three main divisions — production, refining and low-carbon — all of which share services like engineering, IT and project management.

The changes have helped Exxon cut $13.5 billion of annual costs since 2019, more than all other international oil majors combined, according to the company. It plans to increase this figure by 30% through the end of the decade.

Some savings have come through asset sales and workforce reductions, but Woods has said the changes also have led to better performance, such has improved maintenance of major facilities and better sharing of best practices between business units.

Exxon employed 61,000 people globally at the end of 2024, nearly 20% less than in 2019, according to the company’s annual filings. Imperial had 5,100 employees at the end of 2024.

Let’s see if we can guess when we’ll have the first layoff of 2026. I’ll start: end of January.
