Question was posed at this quarters fireside chat where Demchak essentially "hinted" that 5 day return to office will be required following a flowery rant about how while WFH "benefits employees" it "harms the company" and that he is trying to imagine a world where "he is asking you to do your job".

Good luck everyone in Pittsburgh, I would not plan on a cost of living adjustment or a commute benefit coming down the pipeline while Ol' Bill claims his 2026 stock award of the tens of millions.

Why does everyone at Lexmark and now the legacy- Xerox SLT think that everything that Lexmark do is fantastic. They lost $600 million last year so I do not understand???

last day 2/20.... i have like 15k vesting 3/1... complete stab in the back.

Heard a rumour that the whole all employee call this week is going to be created by AI to show everyone what it can do…can’t wait to see if this is true

From an old post, but posted yesterday

In an FCC filing, the U.S. wireless carrier said, “The legal landscape governing diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) policies and programs has changed. We have closely followed the recent Executive Orders, Supreme Court rulings, and guidance issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and have adjusted our employment and business practices to ensure that they comply with all applicable laws and related requirements, including ending DEI-related policies as described below, not just in name but in substance.”

The email subtly hints at more layoffs. It clearly states road ahead will be filled with confusion and what not. any thoughts? Or did everyone even get it?

I know that Verizon’s future success is the last thing on the mind of the people who have been laid off, but someone commented that layoffs and AI will help Verizon bounce back and become more competitive. I cannot let that go without an answer. That’s not the case at all. Layoffs are just short term financial engineering so the leadership can report lower labor costs during quarterly earnings.

VZ had voluntary and involuntary layoffs every year for the last 10 years. If layoffs made companies grow, VZ would be growing like crazy and the share price would reflect it.

Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford Business School, had studied the available data and came to the conclusion that frequent layoffs hurt in the long run.

Any confirmation if managers got the okay to stell associates?

Have you or someone you know been disciplined for non compliance of RTO rules? Asking for a friend...

Pittsburgh office will be closing on January 14, 2026. Employees will be allowed to work from home.

Those jokers just loved to deliver the matter of factly snarky message of “this is what’s best for Citi, we have to let you go” with such a smug look on their face. It’s time to replace those guys with AI. If there’s any test bed low hanging fruit group of people to run off, it’d be them. Trim the limbs off of that tree.

What use are they anyway. They don’t do anything but pass out busted links and direct you to a FAQ page that does not answer your questions. Let those guys go.

Is this good?

Something I’ve found deeply unprofessional is leaders openly discussing possible layoffs and the decline of Target culture with a hint of glee. As if they perhaps enjoyed spreading bad news to encourage lower level employees to flee the sinking ship as they could hop onto the nearest lifeboat. My leaders have openly discussed Target’s problems while maintaining their careers for over a decade. One has to wonder if it’s become a strategy to keep their precious little corporate roles.

All to say: if you are worried, stay the course. Don’t leave without your paycheck and a cushion to plan your next step. Target is not the end all be all of anything. Having watched a man get the saddest multiple decade anniversary acknowledgement “party” followed by a layoff the next week… you won’t be missing out on much if you’re fighting over the last life preserver.

Finally our Networks manager has listened and agreed that this company will just keep shafting, delaying pay awards then will make excuses at the end.

His seen his colleagues wfrd in the last year, now his joining the engineers, his offered us free time off whenever we need. If you can't beat them join them. Other colleagues we request you join us, bring this $hit place to a halt.

For once I don't think it's layoffs because they'd be happy to announce that given any opportunity. I'm not sure what it is instead though.

Notifications went out this morning

Teradata announces $500 million stock buyback in 2026.
That’s a lot of money for a company with yearly declining revenue. A lot of people don’t understand that amount of money. Think of it in terms of lipstick. That’s enough money to buy a new tube of $10 lipstick every day for 137,000 years. Wow, that’s a lot of lipstick!

Curious with the recent spate of telelcom CEO changes, wondering who's next in line for T throne? Thoughts..

Replace your boss with AI
I am not trolling- this is useful:

You all can call me “blur”. I was behind the silent layoffs post. Few people just got laid off in content ops. I know that’s just a small update but will release more soon. Feel free to confirm what I said. Nothing I say is a lie. I work for the people. F these corps. See ya later skrrr.

It looks like another round is starting at Hughes this week.

This month will there be IA for the 13,000 working through it ? Heard mixed messages

My store is turning into a Russell Cellular. Any thoughts on them? So far, Im not impressed with their communication and the commission seems very low compared to what I am making now.

I'll be writing nothing but small orders for Christmas. This B's company does not give us help to work deliveries but want us to Load up stores so the product can sit in backrooms. Door to floor only from hear on out.

Do we have sufficient seats ? any news ?

Free weekend meals going away
What else is getting taken away ?

PepsiCo called they want their toxic CIO back lol as pep employees are having a field day with all their toxic bosses.

What day is the MD promotion released on?

I joined this company when it was still considered a start-up and was part of its incredible growth during Covid, as well as the major decline it is now facing. Here are some things I noticed.

Management is not in tune with the market.

I hate to say this, but numbers were falsified during the CG buyout, which caused a hard fallout between the former management and CarGurus.

Many of the leaders who are still there are in over their heads.

CarGurus hit the panic button and laid off too many people at once, which led to a decline in dealers on the platform.

During Covid, CarOffer sc--wed over a lot of clients, which resulted in our reps getting kicked out of 20-group meetings and Auction Access taking rights away from CarOffer.
