#cuts

I've learned the old pattern of doing layoff's on Thursdays is being modified this year. They'll be doing them on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the foreseeable future. There were folks let go yesterday and there was one today in Optum Health and HR, tomorrow is OT's day of reckoning.

Marion County Commissioners are considering layoffs this year. This comes as they prepare for their first budget meeting in April. The county passed a $33.7 million budget for 2026. However, only $29.2 million is projected to be earned in revenue. This creates a significant budget deficit.

One thing is certain, Waters will continue laying off the people who are the heart and soul of this company AND replace with consulting chronies.

Citi did extraordinary well in 2025 and made it's position top among global banks and J got a 42 million etc but how did it happen? They are cutting left and right, people are overworking, or not working (like me,got fed up with lowest rating). So it's the FEAR which is working, is it?

Today is the day, many stores will be sharing job eliminations. Good luck to everyone!!

Tomorrow is the next layoff date. I expect it will be focused on non-bonus eligible people and 3/3 will focus on those who
are bonus eligible. They want to see who takes the bonus and run. They are counting on it. Best of luck all.

But your raise will still be 2-3% maximum and bonus will be pennies on the dollar and taxed at 50%

Hearing rumblings of S&T cuts coming within the next 2 weeks. Any specific sectors/divisions? Assuming the DPA teams that were swept under the rug and consolidated under Dave will be first to go?

They cut and cut and cut, and somehow expect things to keep running smoothly. It doesn't work that way. This company could be great, but leadership is ki-ling it one layoff at a time.

20 US CALL CENTERS
Each had roughly 23 coaches laid off and two Team managers
If you google their pay, and add up all the numbers, T-Toxic-Mobile saved around 26 million dollars a year. Next year they can pay for N-Sync at the super bowl.

Anyone hear where the 4500 will come from yet? I have heard central logistics will take the brunt of the cuts since what they do is ripe for outsourcing.

Some say it's all done, but I have my doubts.

Do they not care that morale has hit rock bottom? That nobody can focus on their work for fear of they might lose their job at any moment? How is this considered a good business strategy?

This month? In March?

How many were let go yesterday?

So… saw the big LinkedIn splash about the CXO Leadership Summit.

Thought we were tightening spend on these things? Especially while we’re laying people off and talking about cost discipline.

Genuine question —
• What was the actual outcome of this summit?
• How much did we spend hosting hundreds of “leaders”?
• What measurable business value came out of it?

Feels a bit tone-deaf when teams are being asked to do more with less.

Would be good to see some transparency and accountability here.

Are they just going to keep slashing our benefits bit by bit until people get fed up and quit? It's a cost-effective way to reduce staff without the bad press of mass layoffs. It feels calculated and cruel.

This is apparently company wide, according to the "incentive programs & policies" sparq page.

It's pay week. That would mean all the usual habits and rules are out the window. Where is this rumor even coming from? If it's not close to an official source, it's probably not true.

Can’t believe it, but expected. IA pulling some T& C out on the sellers Q4. That’s its guys take it way from the people who actually bring in the orders.

30-35% from what I hear, mostly those with over 5 years service.
OP: @d1+1kh7va1kv

Why go after trained and experienced people in Corporate? Wouldn’t it be logical to cut newcomers first?

While our teams and resources getting cut!

So, Penn 2 is off the table. Instead gonna consolidate offices in existing space at 1095 Ave of the Americas. Here come the cuts…

Rumor has it layoffs are happening right now. Possibly dark fiber teams…anyone else heard anything?

Are they food coordi store going to get cut? Also where is ny DSD?

John Nolte’s first and last novel, Borrowed Time, is winning five-star raves from everyday readers.

If you want to know why the corporate media has lost all touch with common sense and reality, take a good look at the a--holes hired by the Washington Post.

A national newspaper actually hired (and then fired) people who literally believe they are entitled to work at the Washington Post. The Washington Post hired people who literally believe they have a right to work at the Washington Post. The Washington Post hires people who literally believe it is illegal to fire them.

“When they came to work this morning — to continue the jobs they were hired to do — they were blocked from entering the building,” writes the Washington Post employees’ union. “Our members are still employees. We are in Status Quo, which means that these layoffs are illegal.”

Doesn’t it all make sense now?

This is the mindset of the people the Washington Post hired to report the news to us, and they are all so twisted, immature, and spoiled that they are publicly proclaiming (without any embarrassment) that the Post has no legal right to let them go.

Why would a national newspaper allow this mindset into its newsroom?

“Last night after working hours, our members who are being targeted for layoffs by the Washington Post were locked out of their work devices, platforms, and the Post building,” complained the union.

Yes, that’s what happens after you lose your job. Some of us have discovered we’ve been let go by trying to sign in to work, only to discover our password has been revoked.

But my overall point is this…

These are the lunatics who hold the wheel in the corporate media. We’re not talking about differences over how high the minimum wage should be, tax rates, or abortion. We’re dealing with narcissistic sociopaths who believe they are entitled to a job at the Washington Post. Where do you begin to find common ground and a shared culture with people who honestly believe that kind of madness?

Even Communists don’t go this far. I spent years educating myself on the Soviet Union, and I can’t recall anyone ever saying they had a legal right to work for Pravda, or anywhere for that matter.

It’s scary enough to discover that our failed education system is pumping out people like this. But that a major newspaper would allow them over the wall and into the newsroom says everything about why the corporate media is broken and will never reform.
