Are laid-off employees getting severance? How much, based on your tenure?

Heard it went over like a lead balloon.

Go back and look at posts from 1 year ago

It's so clear zero progress has been made at all

Train still stalled?

Can anybody fill me in on key points of town hall today? I’m unable to go. Thank you 🙏

How is it working for other primes such as LM, NGC, etc vs L3Harris?

Why Cisco stock keeps falling?

Has anyone been asked to pay back a relocation after being in role over a year? Has anyone not paid/ or has paid give me any details.

Every call is about AI and how it’s not replacing our jobs, just our tasks or how it’s not doing our job better, just making us more efficient.

It’s the same thing every call. Don’t we have other things to talk about that are more important?

Only gets 15 minutes?? Yeesh. Someone please, PLEASE ask him to explain how they’re a “quantum wafer foundry” when they don’t actually have a foundry. Please!

As the first full day comes to a close, keen to hear some feedback, positive or negative.

How many leadership face to face sessions are taking place this/next week? Any bets that “cost savings” is a big topic?

It’s gone pretty quiet lately on the race to pick up after the mess Penny is leaving behind. What’s the latest odds?

Is “Mr. Hustle” Chewy still several lengths ahead?

I can’t imagine anyone is still talking seriously about David G or KJ?

What about the dark horse of Andy M?

So many (poor) choices, but the one thing you can bet on is whoever it is will be stuck draining the ELT swamp (Suzie M, KJ, Cella, Lisa D, etc.).

If they don’t grant me the same quantity of RSU in October that just vested for me, I’ll get a pay cut. I’m inclined to mention this to my manager if this is the case. Anyone else facing a similar situation?

Is it the same like in the last round?

If any. I'm just curious how this will affect employees.

Let’s keep this civilized, above board and as dispassionate as possible. Come at it from the angle of a Chevron employee who wants the best for our company.

Our leadership was eager to be the first in line for a close friendship with the president. Now with the price of gas and public perception turning negative against big oil, Is it time to distance ourselves for trump? I don’t like how he publicly called us out for high prices, when his actions in Iran are responsible for this all time high. He’s a good ally when things swing his way, but didn’t hesitate to throw us under the bus.

Honest and respectful opinions please

EA has officially been acquired for $55 billion and is going private after 36 years as a publicly traded company.

The buyers are Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners, the investment firm run by Jared Kushner.

The deal has now cleared regulatory approval and closed.

For anyone wondering what this means for employees, there has been no announcement of layoffs tied specifically to the acquisition.

That said, EA has already gone through multiple rounds of cuts. The company eliminated about 5% of its workforce in 2024 and cut several hundred more jobs earlier this year. EA had around 14,500 employees as of March 2025.

Going private also means EA will no longer have to report quarterly results publicly.

So, nothing new has been announced on layoffs yet, but this is obviously something worth watching closely now that the acquisition is complete.

If anyone is hearing about reorganizations, team changes, hiring freezes, or cuts following the deal, please post what you're seeing.

For those who attended the GGP, how was it? Did it give you something to look forward to? What was the atmosphere?

I am not a supervisor so I don’t know if beqom process for promotion planning has started/olened or when is the completion deadline? I think it is usually mid to late September?. Any supervisors out there able to share info

What's the mood like? Everyone is tense in my org.

Curious if anyone has had the convo with their manager as of yet? Was told my team would find out next week.

Note: Pandemics are not what they seem, but rather orchestrated global resets

Cyber Threat: Prepare for a simulated "cyber pandemic," primed by narratives around "AI demonic" propaganda

Energy Rationalization: Anticipate upcoming global energy rationalization check the gas price, thank Trump for that

Was it a good call? I was surprised. Not sure what this means for re-orgs.

Listening to Emily Elswick discuss her faith this morning and then walk through an entire slide dedicated to her personal travel and work trips was certainly a choice. Given that our MIP was 70%, I’m not sure this was the moment for a personal highlight reel. Also genuinely curious how she ended up in this role. What experience or qualifications actually supported putting her in this position?

I'm seeing lots of "good roundtable", "great roadshow" type posts. Unfortunately that seems like a red-ish flag to me.

I guess business lines are doing ok? (Maybe One Talk is helping.) Not sure if the AI Connect stuff is real or not.

If VCG struggles, can they carry the load?

The AD was shaking, voice weard, eyes blinking when talking about the Pulse, going to crash under the loads.

Now I realize I should have checked this board before I joined, but too late now. I'm just wondering, how often do layoffs take place? I can see that it's a few times a year at least but is it every six months, every quarter, or something else?

What are you making of this statement from Takis? I was initially expecting an other round of two of layoffs in October/November. Wasn’t sure what to expect now in light of his statements.
