It is that time of the year again???

Weird for HealthNet to donate 4 million to a random housing complex in California when we are laying off people. You're actively making more potential homeless people.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

Having worked there for the past 10 years I was shocked to come in and find this out. It feels like familiar faces have been wiped from the office like trying to get an old apple product fixed in the apple store. I heard that the NDAs were brutal? Anyone have any news from those laid off?

Has anyone ever seen a demotion? My boss was demoted from AVP to Sr Director, I'm worried about my job.

If i get rejected im gonna lose my sh-t

For those who forgot we had a coworker die in the office and she was not discovered for several days. How many systems failed her? If you think you should give your life to this company remember that happened. Reinvest in your family and community.

For those that don't know, CUSA is surrounded by woods and open space. The area has lots of wildlife. Fox, geese, and others. All those working there have never had issues with this. Wildlife happens. Enter CFS. Decoy coyotes are now ALL OVER the parking lot and building. Being randomly and regularly moved by the new security guy that CFS apparently demanded we employ. CFS are soft, overly privileged, and clueless. I can't with them. I wonder if they know about the wildlife with no legs that get into the building or the 2 legged varieties that call the river bank "home".

GSS has had a steep consistent decline in new cases over the last period. How many customers have already left? I don’t believe it’s the AI solving the issues.
If it is the AI — how long until support team is sacked

All new leadership coming from the outside.. And all from the same group who is moving from Company to Company

Don’t know where we’re going, so we won’t know when we get there

The smartest thing anyone can do right now is spend their spare time looking for a new job. The people who don't are going to be caught off guard when things get even worse.

The rumors are getting louder about another round of cuts, possibly starting next month. Does anybody have any concrete info about it or should I just not worry just yet?

This place is in shambles because the people running it don't know what they're doing. Most of them got to where they are through nepotism, and it's obvious.

I'm genuinely curious. If you hate your job so much, shouldn't you be trying to get out? I'm happy where I am, and I come here because I fear losing my job, not because I hate the company. The overwhelming hate I encounter here all the time is always shocking to me.

I don't have the same level of hatred for this place that a lot of people do, but I'm also not blind. The constant layoffs aren't a solution, they're just a way to delay the inevitable. You can only cut so many people before there's nobody left. I don't see how this ends well.

It's the major rounds that happen occasionally and everybody gets all panicked about. But there are constant cuts, happening all the time, with just a few people here and there. You aren't noticing because you're not paying attention to anything smaller scale. Don't assume you're safe just because there won't be any major rounds before September or whenever.

Our best people are leaving and nobody seems to care. The average tenure is dropping fast. How do they think this will end?

There were rumors about possible layoffs next week. How concerned should I actually be?

I keep going back and forth on whether I should be genuinely worried about more layoffs or if this is just the usual background anxiety that comes with working here. Is there actual reason for concern, like something concrete, or am I just winding myself up for nothing?

Rumors roaring about September layoffs… Leadership wants you to keep doing your job like nothing is happening.

If everyone gets laid off, who’s left to develop the product and fix bugs? It’s already tough. Also, AI tools like Claude don’t reliably do what you ask.

Dear EMHC Team,

After several site visits, I have identified a recurring operational concern: an alarming level of cranial uniformity among the male population.

At this point, I am no longer confident that there are multiple individuals involved. It is entirely possible that EMHC employs one bald gentleman who simply changes safety glasses and shirts throughout the day.

For safety and identification purposes, I propose the following corrective actions:

1. Mandatory name tags with large font.
2. Optional mustache differentiation program.
3. Assignment of unique call signs (e.g., Bald Eagle, Bald Eagle II, The Chrome Dome, Captain Reflective Surface).
4. Investigation into whether baldness is an unofficial leadership competency at EMHC.

Please advise whether this phenomenon is due to genetics, stress, or prolonged exposure to refinery air.

Respectfully,

A Concerned Observer

layoffs across the sw org again…

Is "cribbing" a new US Bank slang? What does it mean?

With such major org changes of VCG, will VCG safe for some months?

So they are just assuming everyone will take the job at the indirects ? Regardless if anyone does Verizon still needs to own up to the thousands not 500. BTW how many fraud transactions are going to get pushed through if the rep is leaving ? I can’t believe how Verizon handles layoffs when so many will be there for another month. What a shrinkage nightmare !

Curious to know what's going on with MBP (Modern Banking Platform)? It seems like it got hit with layoffs recently. I've heard rumors about it struggling lately to gain traction as a proven core solution.

As if Oracle needed any more weight added to the anchor around it's neck that is OpenAI.
This is sooooo bad, like devastating.

I stand here on ashes and ember. Many colleagues impacted, particularly those I rely on to support and drive execution. I suppose someone will figure out how I can push any projects through without them? I will quietly and simply sit on my hands until then.

Anyone else get this invite for 3:30pm eastern? Is it an all clear or doom?

Charlie sounds upset about being asked why every bank surpassed WF earnings He basically said he was tired of this question. Is he feeling the heat???

Those on my team always manage to survive.

I understand the anger against GK, which is valid but is it necessary to throw all Indians under the bus? As a WASP who has worked with several competent Indian origin employees over the years who even went on to become American citizens, I just find all this stereotyping against an entire community a sad projection of what our country has become. Always thought the USB community was above it. Every group without exceptions has competency across the board in similar percentages so I don't understand this new and rising sentiment. Just venting, I guess.

You are only a number… don’t assume anything makes you safe. The current leadership has 1 priority… Slash and cut.. no master plan, no vision. the AI talk is all a cover to layoff and do stock buybacks.. Best of luck to all impacted today and the ones to come…

Anyone in Value let go today?

Have any changes been made to severance? Can anybody who has been laid off share, please? I ask this each time and I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I always worry that they'll use any opportunity to further reduce the package, like they did several times before.

Supervisor said he has meeting 11-1230pm. We are in wireline… Cssc rep union . We are doomed
