How is HR or someone at the top think this is a good idea. Several highly tenured employees are being put on 30 plans who have never received warnings or prior poor ratings. If this is the plan to move out employees without paying severance, this should be illegal. #concern #ageism #unethicalHRpractice #values #ethics

It’s been awfully quiet lately, any updates?
Case of the Mondays
Never used to get this, but now it’s every week. GK has got to go.
Reporting Ethics Violations
Report concerns to the Ethics Line by phone - In the U.S. call 866.ETHICS4 (866.384.4274). Available 24/7, the Ethics Line is a confidential resource provided by an independent third party.
Stupid computer background
Does anyone know how to over ride the stupid background picture of the USB stadium?
Seems management locked the settings.
How long can someone be out of compliance?
How many months in a row can someone be out of compliance before an action is taken? What's the sequence of events that follows?
50% of Houston eligible to retire in 10 years??
I cannot find the original post but I remember seeing one of the posts saying 50% of Houston personnel will be retirement age in 10 years. What’s the source of that information? Is it true?
RAA team over reliance on AI
The RAA team is pushing AI as a blue chip goal. Do not be shocked if this leads to layoffs.
They've made a real mess of this RTO situation
If they've botched this single issue so thoroughly, is it any surprise the whole business feels like it's about to tip over?
Think Twice Before Taking the Dell Survey This Year
Heads up, everyone.
Dell has switched to a new survey vendor this year and there are serious concerns you should know about before you participate.
First, the survey is not truly anonymous. This vendor has the ability to access individual responses and trace them back.
Second, they can manipulate the overall results to make company sentiment look better than it actually is. So your honesty could put you at risk, and still not even count.
If you were planning to give critical, candid feedback; the safest thing you can do this year is sit this one out.
A few things to keep in mind:
— Participation is voluntary. No one can force you.
— If your manager pressures you or coaches your answers, document it.
— Ask HR who the vendor is and what their data privacy policy says. Vague answers are a red flag.
— Spread the word to colleagues who may not know.
Real feedback deserves real protection. This year’s survey may not offer that.
Stay informed. Share this around.
Offshoring is the real dagger
AI is just the excuse they hide behind, ridiculous as it may sound.
Dell lowered my salary with no context
I received a Workday notification stating my total compensation is reduced by x amount.
Is this really happening
April 2026
Are layoffs still happening this month?
3 days
Anyone else still just going to do the 3 days in and roll the dice and see what happens
Housecalls APCs
Anyone under a ton of micromanaging
/scrutiny for low completion efficiencies beyond your control?
India losing a lot of jobs in Oracle
Wonder if this will happen at Chevron.
My RTO tracker updated
It's updated but still wrong, unless I wasn't on network long enough to be tracked. Workday still has the message that things are in progress though. Does anyone know what's going on?
Why do anything?
We’re eliminating a lot of people. The round of layoffs like always are getting swept under the rug. We’re just expected to keep our heads down and focus on generating more revenue.
Iselin…You’re next!!!!
No need to worry about desks being filled to capacity next week with schools out this week. The next few weeks of Tuesdays will take care of that. Heard it’s already happening.
Heavy AI push this week. Is something happening soon?
A lot of managers in STS pushing all team members irrespective of their roles to showcase AI Agents and other AI stuff they have created and are using. A lot of boot-camps happening as well. Are they planning to cut roles soon?
Cancelled one on ones
My manager cancelled our last two one on ones with no reason. Today I realized my manager cancelled the entire series. With the impending layoffs, should I be concerned I’m on the list?
Stock Price
A whole $5 drop and suddenly it’s DEFCON 1. Brace yourselves, people layoffs incoming. Dan the Man’s $75 “vision” is trending straight to clearance rack status. At this rate, just another 15k layoffs should get us that solid $60 target. Brilliant strategy 👏
Special assessment distributions
Some assessment groups have different distributions to allow more people to be ranked high or low. Seems fishy.
How often does Synopsys change severance?
Should we worry about any reductions any time soon?
nothing in the press?
It's interesting I don't see anything in the press... closing call centers probably means hundreds of people are gone.
Severance
I have been here close to 5 years but I feel like my team is on the chopping block and being automated. Some People are getting moved to other teams and red badges let go.
I think eventually blue badges will be let go a couple at a time. Does anyone know if severance is provided for small cuts like one or two people or is severance only for the big LR's that get anounced for a large percent??
CFO Change
HS gets booted as CFO and no comments? What's going on?
Question re: Workforce Reduction Program
Can I nominate someone else? A few names popped into my head when I read about this.
Just waiting..
In office just waiting for the hammer to come down. Not great vibes today. I know alot of people missed the mark from door badges to just not coming in. Morale is extra low today.
Good Luck Molina
You're gonna need it with your new CIO.
It’s Thursday - where is Presence Report is Wrong Guy?
Today’s the day where some slacker always shows up to say the presence report is wrong. What gives? Is he on spring break?
Watch out for Amazon
Doesn't Amazon S3 Files thing completely annihilate one of netapps' core revenue streams?
Employee Hypercare Sessions
Received an invite to an “employee hypercare” session and the only reason I can think of is my peakon comments. Anyone else had this?
PDP & PIP
What happens when you go on these plans? Metrics are ridiculous. Being faulted over something that is not in your control.
"Over The Counter" Bank Access
Didn't USAA have that capability previously with USAA Financial Centers? That concept didn't seem to work out well, so why is USAA revisiting a failed idea?
My Voice Survey
Just got an email to complete. Read the room Oracle where is your compassion? How likely will they read|take my comments, do these go into a black hole.. Geesh
