If people are worried about more layoffs so close to Christmas, you know something is seriously wrong with BofA.

I haven't been here long, but the company's public image seems to have taken a real hit lately. I'm starting to worry that having this on my resume might not be helping my applications. Maybe it's just my nerves, but the thought's definitely crossed my mind more than once.

A coworker who got laid off is one of the best people we had. He always got perfect reviews and everyone respected him. If they can just let someone like that go, then it's clear that none of our jobs are secure. That reality is hard to ignore.

With jobs moving to Mexico and India at lightning speed, I'm sure companies like PepsiCo have a solid plan to ensure US consumers can still afford their products. I mean, who needs a thriving middle class, right? Guess we'll just have to rely on robots and AI to buy all the stuff. Every year there is more hiring and pushing of jobs to Hydarabad. I heard from a colleague that in the S&T townhall, the VP Strat was gloating on how finance function moved all roles to Hydarabad (tongue in cheek laying off US workers).

Seriously though, how do they plan to sustain growth without a strong US customer base and more importantly money in their pockets? Do companies like PepsiCo have a Plan B to deal with the impending doom of a cash-strapped US consumer? Do they just assume people will magically keep buying their stuff despite having no income?

I just read the article in the post gazette regarding PNC. I’m not going to discuss any particular company, but what I will chime in on is that it is not ANY company‘s fault that downtown Pittsburgh has fallen apart and no one comes downtown anymore. They have continued to build more housing instead of investing in stores for people to shop. The crime is worse downtown. People have been as--ulted and shot in broad daylight. The whole downtown smells like mari--ana and ur--e. It is an embarrassment of a city and I can’t believe that the NFL draft is coming here next year.

And my final comment… regardless of what company you work for, forcing employees to come downtown is not going to help the economy or boost our city because people are struggling with the money that they are making, and can’t afford to go out and eat every day or park every day. A lot more people are probably using public transportation. I know I couldn’t afford to pay $25 a day to park. In the summer when I would come into work, I used to walk downtown on my lunch but now I’m afraid to. I stay in the building during my lunch. Just off the top of my head I recall a man walking around downtown with a machete, and also a different man was as--ulting women and exposing himself. As a woman, men in leadership positions need to understand the fear that women have of getting as--ulted. Thankfully, this has not happened to me, but I know someone that this happened to downtown. She is traumatized.

If the mayor of the city is going to put pressure on local companies to bring their employees into work to boost the downtown economy, it is not going to work. We are not all millionaires that can afford to go out and eat every day and shop at Larimer‘s. They have removed all of the cheaper, eating places like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Arby’s and others. To eat lunch at one of the restaurants downtown plan on dishing out at least $30 for a meal. We in the middle class do not make enough money to do that.

Please note these views are of my own opinion, and I am not speaking on behalf of anyone else, trying to represent a company or speaking on behalf of any particular company.

Yes

Annual sales declines of 2.6% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market

Earnings per share decreased by more than the revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable

8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

When do the Board declare no confidence in them ?

How many people got let go yesterday

I’m hearing some people got moved from exempt to non-exempt (ie hourly pay instead of salary) Is this true? I can’t imagine people being happy about it?

I would like to bring to your attention concerns regarding leadership practices and workplace conduct that may require investigation. There appear to be patterns of behavior that could potentially expose the organization to significant legal and financial liability.

Specifically, there are allegations of:

• Management practices that may not align with professional standards
• Possible involvement of Human Resources in matters that warrant review
• Concerns about workplace monitoring and external consultancy activities

If you have experienced similar concerns, I recommend documenting your experiences and considering whether to consult with colleagues or seek appropriate guidance through proper channels. Collective action through established procedures may be warranted to address these workplace issues and offer you better protection.

I encourage anyone affected to follow appropriate protocols for reporting workplace concerns through private legal counselling, private advocacy groups or governmental organizations. This includes refraining from contacting HR or using the whistleblower hotline. They will identify the most traumatic method to attribute responsibility back to you.

Over and out

They must still be secretly working on stuff behind the curtain

I had 5 RSUs scheduled to vest today. When I checked my account there are no pending transactions and now the next transaction is scheduled for March of next year. Is this happening for anyone else?

All the temp agencies workers will eventually be let go in the next 3 or 4 years........or earlier.

We simply can't. My group is already stretched thin, and losing even one more person would wreck everything. We’re barely holding things together as it is. How can they even consider more layoffs?

This is the weirdest layoff round I had to go through in my life, and I've been through more than a few. What the he-l is even happening? All we know is that some people are getting cut, but how many, where, when it will be done, or anything else is just wild guessing at this point. The. Fu-k.

Sandeep called somebody out by name and talked about him having foot surgery during the all-hands. Isn’t that PHI?

What’s happening today? I’m hearing very little. I know calls are taking place with some groups. Please share

Safe?

If Fannie Mae is bringing in 2.07 MILLION per employee, per year, why are layoffs necessary? Please educate me because I'm obviously a mo--n.

It seems that hope for next year is scarce. Looking at the chatter around 2026, optimism seems nonexistent. Most people don't expect any improvements, on the contrary. No wonder morale has never been lower.

Does anyone have ANY information on who will be affected?? Like teams/sectors?

Concerned Tufts staff members have distributed a petition in conjunction with Tufts Labor Coalition demanding that no workers be laid off as part of Tufts’ Operating Model Transformation, an initiative restructuring the university’s administrative functions.

Does any of y’all know f we can call osha over this situation? We work at a place where second amendment has made employees carry and where we don’t have an outlet to report things to tested leads. I have never seen it this bad and they have not fixed Montgomery from what a relative these tells me. What do y’all thing? Can I?

Worried, and not really having any clue what is going to happen.

I am watching the Big XII championship game right now presented by Edward Jones. In a first quarter commercial break here pops up our beloved Penny Pennington with her dyed hair (when you see her in person she has plenty of gray). She talks about Edward Jones standing beside people helping them achieve their dreams and find their “rich”. She forgot to tell the football fans that she will help you achieve your dreams unless she can offshore your position for cheap Indian labor. If that is the case then you are on your own. Penny is such a blatant liar!

Hearing him make jokes at the time when so many have lost their livelihood and the rest of us are still uncertain if we'll have a job in a month or two completely disillusioned me. That shows how much he truly "cares" for employees.

Has anyone heard anything new on if Provider Services (under Kelly B.) is still in the “safe” zone as far as layoffs (or even upcoming changes in general) are concerned? We were told on the last round we were safe, but there was not confidence on how long that would be.

Why is our manager doing one on ones to tell us, if we dont hit the full quota this month, we may not have jobs next month? Something seems fishy.

Does anyone feel like they are getting laid off? It's been so weird around here.

Why is it so hard to keep us properly informed about what's going on? Why do we have to guess and put together scenarios based on a sentence here and an email there? What does it cost them to be open with us? Even if it's bad news, it's always better to know than just guess.

The more I hear who got riffed the more it seems some locations took a much bigger hit…like Tulsa. Feel sorry for those that work there as they must be wondering what’s next

That’s the uk offshore workforce been hit with 10% reduction from our poor offshore dayrate.
The following day my boss is telling me to stay vigilant at the well site despite the cut!
For me it’s do the bare minimum to get by.

over 2000 jobs gone in India. Many of the teams were keeping the lights on after the wider cuts and now those teams are slashed. I know some will have malice regarding those employees, but they are humans and deserve sympathy like the 13k already gone from other areas. Lets hope nothing bad happens in the near future as recovery will be next to impossible and the market knows it.

Are we safe this month or is that too much to ask for? Does T usually have layoffs in December?

What’s up guys, PSTG is going to he-l?

My team lost 2 people today
