I wonder how many people were RIF’d today. :( we can’t keep living like this. It’s too stressful.

And at least one of them in my org deserved every bit of it for being a total slacker for years. They brought it on themselves.

Anyone else here have justified layoffs (more like firings) in their org this week?

P66 is is speaking at the Piper Sandler Energy Conference next week. Go-Go usually talks about 95% of Phillips allotted time at these things but this time he’s not listed as a speaker. Just the Refining VP and the Saucy CFO.

Just got word that anyone hired after April 1st 2026 will not be receiving a pension. They will only get a 401 for retirement. First they took the personal multiplier, now this. Wonder what’s next for the Last 75. Probably going to push the 25-30 year guys out..

So there is a lawsuit over BYOD+ which is probably going to be class action. Basically illegal bait and switching. So if you’re a rep doing this instead of upgrading their phone traditionally you are illegally bait and switching. 0 usage reports are being reviewed at 30/60/90 days. Already heard about terminations of both reps and their managers. So if you want to protect your job make sure you are presenting a quote for standard upgrade as well and explaining the price difference. There’s a reason they stripper it down to just the google pixel abruptly. So tread lightly with Samsung being back part of it

We need net Adds for Q1

Yep

Hey anyone who retired last year and eligible for 2025 bonus...did you get paid today and if yes, was it mailed or direct deposit?

If you've gotten the Fidelity email, VOTE. It is some of the little power we have to make our dissatisfaction known.

Stellantis sued Sky Auto Mall last week. The automaker alleges a $12 million financing fraud. Sky Auto Mall engaged in "double flooring" practices. This involved securing multiple loans for the same vehicles. The dealership subsequently laid off 76 employees.

So glad I held onto these as a level F. Selling when they hit the £6 mark.. tidy work if you can get it ...

I think it’s time for the fed to stop doing business with XRX hopefully putting SB, the EC, and the company out of their respective misery. We have sent so many jobs offshore that there should be a penalty.

This is a sinking ship…..#Sprint 101

Lookup your 24 months sales revenue for your branch…local domestic or international..

Is the current attrition rate consider normal after annual review or is the grass greener on the other side? (At this pace cpm won't be needed)

The push for crypto is embarrassing. It’s nothing more than hype and hot air. Everyone knows the space is dominated by grifters and speculation with little real value. Watching the company turn into a shill for it is honestly sickening. Its a waste of time and resources.

This is the kind of company where low-effort “people leaders” can work with you for a year and start misspelling your name as a way to depersonalize people and signal hierarchy and people are terrified to go take a 20 minute walk break. One of the worst cultures I’ve encountered.

I have always gone above and beyond for the last 6-7 years and was rewarded for it twice. One was a "game changer award" which was 1000 USD cash, and the other was a 12% raise. Both were awesome, don't get me wrong here!

The game changer award was my second year, and the 12% raise was my 4th year. Worked my a$$$ off for both of those but, I'm looking for a promotion and was essentially told by my manager a year or so ago that, promotions are generally given out to those OUTSIDE the USA as it's a bigger bang for the buck - and cheaper! and doesn't forsee promotions happening often in the US anytime soon.

Then last year they flattened the middle management level and we were put under a director who clearlly has no interest in managing 20 people.. So my hopes for promotion basically went down the drain.

I had ZERO expectations for raises this year but was hoping for at minimum 2.5-3%. Well I can't say that the 1.82% raise is worthy of me working harder than necessary anymore. The lowest raise I've ever gotten in the 7 years I've been here was 3.89% at Dell up until last week, and under a director who wants nothing to do with us - as we are not on the corporate side of Dell..

I love my job and my pay isn't bad at all and have worked my butt off for a promotion year after year but, am failing to see a reason to work harder than necessary at this point. I'm in Fed and we generally get forgotten about and never have a budget for ANYTHING. "budget isn't there" "money is tight this quarter" "we didn't get a budget" etc etc etc... We almost never get open REQ's either.

Now we are working under a director who tries to spend no more than 10 minutes in a 1x1, has no interest in getting to know anybody on a personal level, no interest in being involved in WHAT we are doing, all for a joke of a raise, or no chance of promotion.

Like I said, I actually do love my job but the extra work, volunteering to take on projects or extra work, etc... is no longer there for me. Promote me and sure, I'll take those things on but I'm not gonna do the work that an i7/i8/i9 does for half price.

Guess the dates and what is going to come as an onslaught . We all on in for the ride, maybe its time or maybe its not.

I see there were cuts yesterday, can we consider that done?

Watching the replay … Based on what I gathered from Alfonso, It is up to me which model I follow - Hybrid, In Office, WFH. “ think as adults, its a personal choice”

Here is the thread for today’s WF town hall. This is the place for employees to air their concerns and talk about the elephant in the room, real issues we as employees are facing and none of this amateurish soft ball questions nonsense!

Does anyone know the long term plans for Tailored Branch Support? Will it also be outsourced at some point or will it be a long-term position at EJ?

Alfonso just done an All hands. What a confusing All hands and a load of cr-p.

Layoffs are happening some senior employees walked out today

This company is a big fat tu-d. Specifically, it’s HPE Networking within a tu-d.

Does anyone have useful information to provide here?
Layoffs, site closures, etc? Please share.
This place has become a rant festival.

Wait being a inflexible employer doesn't get you productivity gains?

https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/5775420-remote-first-productivity-growth/

" The Flex Index finds that fully flexible companies grew revenues 1.7 times faster than mandate-driven firms from 2019 to 2024, even after adjusting for industry and size. "

All these layoffs and the stock price is still $283.58. Wasn’t that supposed to fix everything? Lol

It's amazing how many low-IQ people there are at Dell, many of whom are on this board.

For the last time, once and for all, Dell's medieval RTO policy was NEVER EVER EVER intended to increase productivity, improve team cohesiveness, or any one of the lies and propaganda vomited out by executive leadership.

It was ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS intended to make your life a living he-l, so much so that you ultimately quit on your own. This way Dell doesn't have to pay severance, nor does it have to incur any negative publicity as a result of wide-scale layoff announcements.

It's a BAIN trick. It's greed. It's selfishness. It's a lie, but it is today's Dell. Dell is doing everything it can to reduce headcount at the least cost possible. Get that through your heads. It's the only cohesive strategy leadership has right now.

What could be next?

OxyChem valuation up ~$3B since Oxy sold. Deal was done in tax inefficient manner. Oxy retained Environmental liabilities. Oxy didn’t try to sell to any other buyers and only negotiated with BRK. They have Vicki pegged as their mark.

This is why Oxy stock is sitting in the mid 50’s with oil at $100/bbl compared to significantly higher when Vicki became CEO and when Oxy acquired Anadarko. Buy high, sell low is not a winning strategy.

Any suggestions on making company better?

Rambeau out and Mehta takes over two out of three segments. What is going on?

2025 was entertaining, get the popcorn out for 2026. It should be a doozy.

Geoff transformed a strong healthy Oak into a decaying hollowed-out tree. TIMBER!!!

Enterprise software company Atlassian is laying off 1,600 employees, about 10% of its global workforce. This includes 63 workers in Washington state, primarily remote staff. The company is transitioning to an "AI-first company" model. CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes stated this is about adapting skill mixes for the future. CTO Rajeev Rajan, based in Seattle, will also step down. Atlassian shares are down over 50% this year.

I was w/AMN healthacare for 3 years as a certified remote video medical interpreter. I held consistent 5 star rating, so much so that every year my wages were raised, but today , about 200 of us received a bullsh-t internal email , an email that once read , dissapeared. I thought this was peculiar , but never thought it was a worse case scenario.The email was intenionally vague,it said that we were to place in "meeting " status ..I was working right till the time, then after finishing the call, i placed my self on " meeting" i waited along w others in the teams app, suddenly w/o warning , some collegues w sudden sadness starting writing they are letting all of us go...I couldnt believe it ! No , than you, nothing just a lame email afterwards, It was quite sad , we couldnt even say bye to our collegues.I will miss you guys ! AMN behaved like pu----s... I hope that company,
