KEY POINTS
Anthropic safety researcher Evan Hubinger said there is a greater than 10% chance AI could ki-l all humans within the next decade.
Another Anthropic researcher said he has resigned, accusing leading AI labs of racing toward superintelligence without adequate safeguards.
The warnings add to growing concerns over AI safety, including whether advanced systems could become difficult for humans to control.

What do you say to that Dan?

I'm sure some of us are thinking that VGS is coming back soon, and it would be a validation of sort. Maybe some newer folks can chime in that think otherwise. I'm not looking forward to big changes with the holiday coming soon.

Does anyone get the sense that C14s and 15s are paralyzed right now. Projects are sitting in queue, legal is not responding, compliance is absent. Nobody knows what next Wednesday is going to bring and there's no use working on something when the project, or the personnel may go away.

Post the fake job titles, Job IDs, posting start and end dates, and any relevant details. Post here and all over the social media. If naming specific hiring managers, senior managers, or HR recruiters violates privacy, please do not name them directly. Instead, use innovative, secure, or anonymous methods to expose how these teams were staffed. Job postings and advertisements are publicly accessible information. If they are fake, they should be publicly shamed.

We care about your responses but we’ll ignore your top concerns and focus on the rest

I have been hearing about this turnaround for months yet we’re doing nothing different except laying off a few hundred people. What are we doing? Any new products/services?

When all this company worries about if offshoring jobs to save a buck and push their AI (All India) initiative.

What a joke!

Layoffs went from being an occasional thing, to being once or twice a year, to being a quarterly thing, and we're now at basically monthly layoffs. What's next? Weekly? Daily? Why don't they just lay all of us off right now and put us out of our misery once and for all?

Am I missing some official notice?

Now I have a feeling like I've put a target on my own back. Don't make the same mistake and trust HR.

Does a single person have any concrete information on the next round of layoffs? Anything other than the omnipresent "layoffs are coming, be ready?"

I liked working here. Now I'm always miserable. What was the turning point?

Has anyone heard that the severance pay is going from 1 paycheck/2 weeks of pay per every year of service to 1 week of pay per year of service? I’m really hoping it’s not true.

What is the point. All they have to do is wait for 3 months and LR you without any explaination.

If we had layoffs later this week. For no other reason but to fu-k with us. That's how low my opinion is of this leadership. I honestly believe them capable of that.

In case you were hoping we were done.

Remember all the Leadership videos stated (or at least implied) that “we’ll figure out the mapping, redundancy and needs” withing the next 120 days.

Sadly it could happen at any time.

New employees from Cox – Charter does not care about you
Old employees from Charter – Charter never cared about you

Take care of yourself.

Does anyone feel like this release was written horribly?? Are you signing? Was this legal?

Hi all my laid off buddies...release is on workday but this line I'm hesitating...
Employee may not sign this release prior to their last day of unemployment and prior to receiving their final paycheck...
So we can't sign this until next Friday, which is a delay, which will allow them time to delay payout until October. Has anyone previously laid off signed this prior to their final paycheck and still received severance?
This is my only reason I'm hesitating

Some of the leaders on here are insecure enough to work extra hard to have it taken down. I did not say anything that was beneath the belt, but sure admin… burry the truth

Did anyone who took the VSP and separated 9/4, get to log in to Workday and it says Terminated?!? Is this normal? Should I be worried about receiving my VSP?

Just curious....noticed some age related trends in my department...

HR is obviously there to protect the company, not me, so I am trying to figure out if I should go straight to senior leadership or if I have to go through my manager first and risk getting shut down before I even get heard. I'm avoiding saying what the subject is for anonymity purposes.

Pratt subdivision. Lots a safety problems there needs fixed. Wires layed on ground. Backside washed away , no way to stand there with door open , very risky, dont wanna fall down the hill and bust your butt. Wish they bring in big load of rock/dirt to fill it all safe.

I honestly can’t fathom what sort of su-king up, political maneuvering, or just plain lying has to be done for anyone to still to have any belief that he is at all qualified for his role or isn’t hurting the company. His teams despise him and have to work behind the scenes just to get anything done as he lacks any strategic direction with zero market experience. And if his lack of skill wasn’t enough, it’s his poor character and how he speaks down to folks that is the worst. It has to be fixed!

It goes without saying but just a friendly reminder during the reorg. Big brothers are watching us.

Layoffs will follow.

Got a note to update my personal email address.. why would they need it ?

Not knowing is stressing me out.

Something we have to deal with as a fact of life, not as an occasional happening?

Ricoh footprint being gobbled up nationwide by competitors . Losing the big contracts at a concerning rate. Must be a reason their customers are so frustrated. Hang on if u can loyal employees. What are your thoughts?

Have there been recent layoffs? Seems like people are getting let go little by little rather than massive layoffs unless someone has heard otherwise? Seems like most new positions are being opened up in low labor costs countries.
Is this how the company is going to be? A western management team with all outsourced employees?

I recently heard that a former CIO visited our security facilities with his new company. Isn't this something of a privacy concern? I would have expected our security teams to be less than enthusiastic about a former CIO wandering the premises to recruit staff.

Does anyone have more detail on what occurred, or perhaps why it was allowed?

DO NOT take the engagement survey starting next week. Most companies (truist included) care more about low participation than low scores. Most companies believe that any response to these surveys indicates that you still believe your voice is heard and cared about. This is well documented online and I’ve seen it personally.

A manager of mine a few years ago (who was terrible and eventually fired for misconduct) had very high engagement scores. Much higher than the company average. And that’s because only ONE person on a team of over 20 people took the survey (I personally think the only teammate that took the survey was the one the manager was sleeping with, but I could be wrong). HR and higher management got involved specifically because of low participation and our concerns were finally addressed.

The participation rate has been steadily going down throughout Truist for years. Make it plummet and they’ll actually start taking notice. That’s why we get emails saying “hey guys we still only have xx% of people who have taken the survey. It’s available to take for a couple more days. Make sure to take it and make your voice heard blah blah blah.”

Silence is the sound of dissent and dissatisfaction, and that makes people in charge VERY nervous.

Judges regularly turn dangerous men loose, but we have to have a nationwide surveillance system and countless data centers? Nah.
So let’s discuss the possibility/ likelihood of Flock layoffs (as the home page of this site says this site is for).
How soon until the ax starts falling?

This week has been the perfect example that we do not matter. One coworker passed this week and all of fraud has continued on with managers acting like everything is normal. Shame on you leaders we are humans.

When is the next round of IT layoffs? A lot of my team was affected in the last round I have a feeling my turn is coming up. Will it be before the end of the year? In this market most of us are in big trouble if we lose our jobs. It is rough out there

Read on earlier posts that WellMed is planned to be sold by Optum by the end of the year, is that true?
