Noticed the estimated Lump Sum payout is LOWER for 2026 vs. 2025, which is both alarming and surprising - especially since interest rates declined in 2025 ….. so, I was expecting to see an increase in the Lump Sum amount. Anyone else experience this, and any insight or explanation ??

A new meeting is on my calendar for an SMB town hall on Friday.

Is this going to be a meeting for layoffs?

I feel like I work with incompetent people. Some I seriously question how they keep their jobs. Am I alone here? Am I just unlucky? I get technical gaps but this is basic common sense and elementary math.

Hearing some MKE campus layoffs today - Ill try to get more info soon. Know of 5 confirmed. Not sure who is even left anymore in that place

A call yesterday with client services org said a handful in departments throughout the org were let go today. They said implementation and proposals were not affected, but does that mean they won't be affected at all? Or just not affected today?

What’s up with onsemi selling machines , does it mean anything?

Is tomorrow really happening? Anyone know what depts may be on the chopping block? I know it might be inevitable, but w/ my wife's cancer treatment it's even more stressful.

Under the “Personal” section of my profile (when I click my picture in Workday) I used to have a number of docs show up from whe O started. Now, I just see the text “none entered.”

Is this a bad sign?

......mckinsey is here.....

what is the " real reason" this company is walking the halls ?

why are they here

Transparency != "We will tell you more in 'current_date'+30". Maybe find a new buzz word, as this is anything but transparent.

It's going to be he-l waiting and guessing if my location is closing. I like my job. I've been here for seven years. I hate even the thought of having to look for something else. We might not be the most high volume store, but we're doing well enough. Should I be worried?

If it's cost performance, it should hit the MD D SVPs isn't it.why i see only VP getting affected

I’m concerned about where this extension is headed .Would like to know if there maybe a strike or not .Im holding off doing anything with my personal situation till we know.Its getting kinda old sleeping in the garage parking lot and showering in the bathrooms .Unfortunately cannot make a commitment till sure I won’t be out of a pay check.Unfortunately situation was made worse by divorce so would prefer not to have to strike but we haven’t been given any info

Why is everyone so obsessed with patents these days? Do these patents and white papers that people produce hold any value? .Most of them seem to be junk

Belk has resorted to hiring managers with no real skills or management power, it seems like they regurgitate what is said in emails or conference calls yet make no effort to follow up on any issues in the store. Many employees have complained that their store managers are lacking skills, knowledge, and motivation to successfully run their store, some sales team managers, merch team managers, leads, and key holders have voiced concern that they are the ones running the stores, yet the store manager is taking credit and being compensated for their hard work. The question is who is hiring these ineffective store managers ? and why? It’s of great concern when the leads, associates, and floor managers care more and know more about their store than the actual store manager.

Feels like this program is a waste since SF took over. Even with the 20% match, I would have more money if I took the cash and buried it in the yard. Feels like I’ve been part of a ponzi scam and waiting for it all to crumble. I think I’m done with the program. Any others dropping it?

My boss scheduled a 30 minute meeting with my direct report tomorrow at 5. What could it be? Are they being laid off? Am I? My performance review is on next week, , could they just be getting their perspective on me? This is making me so nervous!

So… Friday was a hard day.

My performance evaluation is incomplete by my manager. Could this mean I’m on the list for 2/19?

RB just said he starts and ends his day using Copliot and has 6 agents running at all times. Senior leadership is completely brain dead, which we already knew but now it’s being directly told to us.

That much is clear right now. March is another story, though.

If you're able, get licensed and the FPQP designation. I know it seems intimidating but you know more than you think.

Tenured BOAs are being let go through teaming. Remember all that dust we kicked up about our pay? Yeah.

Be prepared.

Does anybody have an inkling what we might be looking at? I'm afraid to even think of the possibilities.

There seem to constantly be rumors going around about layoffs but how long it's been since we actually had a confirmed round? It's been a while. I understand being scared and worried but I just wish we could get some concrete info instead of people just fear-guessing.

Only about one more month until CS moves to china. I work in APLA and writing is on the wall that we will be dissolved as a geo as of fy 2027. CS HAS BEEN the steady ship we've needed and has made apla an incredible place to work, I'm very excited for her but nervous for this change. Anyone have any info?

Why? Seems strange, is Stefan still thinking about Content Server? Why Directory Services and not just OpenLDAP?

I just got a PIP. Given the current state of the company and the layoffs, would you think I will be axed at the end of the improvement period?

Yes, layoff happening replaced by AI.

seems like someone opened up jak and typed "how do i turn uniti into frontier" then proceeded to follow the instructions provided.

Strong financial results reported same day additional layoffs announced 🧐

I. E. Layoffs

Haven't heard a thing.

This past Thursday morning, I got a meeting invite for this upcoming Tuesday at 9am for a check in with my manager.

Is this the call? I haven’t even been here a year… Also strange that I have another check in two weeks, on a Thursday around noon.

Maybe I’m just paranoid? Just how they want me I guess.

How is IBM this in efficient. Is this a known fact?

Am I to accept the efficiency and move on.

Help!

Just popped in and was surprised to not see a thread on the announcement this week. It's creating gossip for sure, would like to hear from people who feel they can speak freely though. I don't have dealings with them directly, but based on the comments I've seen in here, that seems to be a good thing. Do people think this will improve the culture? Are people relieved or worried what could come after this?

Does anyone know the logic behind who was determined to be JE’d?

See this link. I've added details in the post comments

Went as low as $0.90. This is bleak.
