Tomorrow is the big layoffs day. Can’t sleep.

Why is no one talking about how stock together was removed without notice or a heads up. Make sure your paying attention to your 3% raises, ST is gone.

What is DXC going to do in order to protect its employees from the effects of war and mitigate its impact on us? For now all we got was pushing towards "extra vigilance to protect business" but how about us? Prices will go up, there is stress, and all they can do is trying to force us to some kind of extra care for the business? What the heck?

I do not remember it feeling like this before. There is a level of fakeness that feels excessive. Conversations that feel transactional. People who can be vindictive, rude, and in some cases honestly cruel. Not openly aggressive, just quietly cutting. It's really kept pulling on me.

I do not have these issues outside of work. That is what makes it unsettling. It makes me wonder if something about the environment changes people, or if I was just naive for a long time.

I had a rough year, so I have tried to account for that. I have tried to tell myself maybe I am just more sensitive right now. But it feels bigger than that. Over the last few years I have slowly lost faith in the culture here, and what scares me most is feeling that cynicism creep into how I see people in general.

I do not want to believe this is just how people are.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

From the time TIAA received my paperwork in good order until the time they transferred the money out, it took over 35 days. Like, wtf? Shouldn’t the more than a few days. What goes on?

Heard Desmond thinks the south shouldn't work on ge motors due to getting injured working on them. Sounds like he wants to make the south smaller and road truck sites.

to sc--w stockholders. 13 % price drop in 5 days. You defenders will say market economics are to blame, nonsense! If they had built the franchise and gotten the stock to a level it should be this would be a blip, it is not. Remember PNC as a regional competitor close to us has grown and more than doubled their share price last 5 years. I wonder if there’s any angst in the C suite or by this Board? Probably not.

I could really do without another stressful weekend.

I feel for each person and their families. I’m sad and furious all at once. This constant dread, this existential threat hanging over us - it's no way to live. I lost an amazing colleague this week, and his wife's job is on the line too. Two young kids, a mortgage, bills we all can barely keep up with as it is. It's just devastating.

Anyone know if we will keep the Denver office open? I would prefer to live in Denver over Houston but not sure if Bpx will consolidate to Houston.

The idea that a fiber technician can properly maintain a hybrid fiber coaxial plant with limited hours and frequent outages while also disparaging the expertise of outside plant technicians , and vice versa referring to us as maintenance technicians, is completely ridiculous always trying to reinvent the wheel when you know this Altice Optimum experiment will always be nothing but a ponzi scheme

All employees receive three 8‑hour holiday days each year. My supervisor advised me to use all three, and mentioned that if I don’t use them, I will lose them. I’m unsure whether she was simply reminding me about the policy or implying something else, such as a possible layoff, by encouraging me to use the remaining holiday hours.

What do you think she was trying to say?

Seen job posting for it, debating applying. But is there any future in that role, or are you just going to get sacked once it’s over?

So many people getting bent out of shape, and for what? No layoffs. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

The level of chaos and misery that I am seeing in Irving is off the charts. I've been in corporate America for decades and I've never seen anything approaching this level of cruelty-- unfortunately I think that's the point.

What's going on today? Security hanging out in work areas. This only happens when people are being let go

Is changing that even legal?

@b2+1kjbbze82 Makes a great point. These creeps are putting our pictures in Gemini, putting in our personal and work information and god knows what else. This needs to stop!!

Usually it’s the one dreadful day where everyone gets laid off on the same day. However this year (at least for my department) I have noticed with the EDs and MDs that they are being let go here and there. Since January we have had about 5 officers let go.

Tonight will be "fun," considering I didn't sleep at all last night, and something tells me I'm not the only one. I'm now wondering, is there even a slight chance that this will be it? That after this round, we'll be able to move on from layoffs at least for a while and focus on our work again?

Anywhere else, I'd start looking. Now.

Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

Another manager has left the emea space. what’s happening over there

Us together is better. We must return to the office to increase collaboration. Whoever created the new seating assignments didn't make any effort to keep teams together. Collaboration with anyone BUT your own team. What a joke and an embarrassment for leadership. Rather than fixing it, they doubled down! Who's in charge of the CF $hit$how?!

Part of the 12/19 group.

Of course once it's deposited in my TOD acct isn't thousands lower....smh.

Anyone else?

There was a time when retiring here felt guaranteed. That hasn’t been true for at least a decade. With constant layoffs, retirement feels like a distant luxury. Most of us are too busy worrying about what tomorrow might bring to think that far ahead. That’s the reality we’re living in.

As a former senior engineer at CDW I can say without a doubt that the company is in serious trouble. I made six figures basically doing nothing because internal politics prevented me from receiving projects.

While it was great for a time, I realized my skills were degrading and jumped ship for another opportunity. Thanks CDW for the free money and certifications!😂😂

If you believe the layoffs are less than 20%, then either you’re seriously misinformed or you’re not actually working at Qualcomm.

And if you’ve been here for more than 10 years, be careful- you could be in trouble.

What is actually going on with this company???
So many people are being laid off. ICs are being thrown away. Teams are on very slim resources. Performance is degraded.
What are they trying to achieve? Are they planning to move everything to offshore?

We’ve had at least two significant storms in the last few weeks, depositing 12-18 inches across the region. And a smattering of smaller snowfalls also affecting commutes.

What is the official expectation from corporate for weekly attendance when there is a snow day? No one has said whether we are expected to make up that attendance day later in the week. Seems logical that we wouldn’t have to, but there has been no official word and people are uneasy.

Moreover, even if we’re not expected to make up the day — will attendance tracking reports consider snow days, or will they hurt our average days in attendance?

Regarding Kevin's meeting and the effort he's making for employees. Kevin just sold $1,000,000 worth of stock. Do not trust them. They are trying to keep you productive up until they can discard you.

Does anyone know what changes are being made to the STI program for 2026? The communication sent to managers makes it sound like negative things are headed our way.

All this talk is getting old.

Pretty sure more Layoffs are coming for us. Can those recently let go please let us know what the new severance package is so we can all prepare

Does anyone know what’s going on today? Executives are all onsite and leaders have hinted to fires going on

It's clear they're either going to gut it or tear it down, it's just a matter of time. Why else would they have only like 3 (above ground) floors in service? It's weird hearing about how some functions don't have desks but we've got 10 empty floors in 220. This feels like a metaphor for... something.

Look out below. Market has lost faith in Arvind and Jim's financial engineering shenanigans.
