What are your thoughts?

Seeing multiple posts of “last day at T-Mobile”. Which org was impacted last week?

So politics is the only thing relevant in our discussion. The rest is side show masquerading as main points.

Looking at some track record to justify his role of president

Does this get started after investor day? Meeting post that seems ominous.

☆ AT&T, Verizon; and T-Mobile (Reject) SpaceX "Starlink" partnership for (Good Reason).

Does anyone know a total headcount that was affected? Seeing the new numbers with PA, NJ and WA alone has me wondering.

I would think the new hires and the people that can “reapply” will have knowledge of coding.

How's that GCC in Poland working out?

Monday or after earning call?

Lots posted on ComcastNow.

If not, what it is? Who benefts?

Any thoughts on the all-hands call? Many topics, none brought to a resolution?

Can anyone explain how a 3 year ban on working for Skydance after a buyout serves the best interest of the company? It seems like they wouldn't offer you work unless they needed your skills. So why would they impose this ban?

Came across this quote by PepsiCo legend Roger Enrico:

"Beware of the tyranny of making small changes to small things. Rather, make big changes to big things."

Feels particularly relevant in today's PepsiCo world, where the tyranny of small decisions have given way to the tyranny of small-minded leaders.

It was so embarrassed to see the guy lost his "train" on the stage. I guess he forgot to bring his AI assistant as he usually did for most meeting calls to assist him and make him look good.

Saw this article on Tech Rights;

100 Years of IBM Racism

I believe racism remains a real issue at IBM, but its manifestation may have evolved. In some instances, DEI initiatives appear to have been exploited, distorted, and we-ponized by certain groups to advance their own interests, potentially creating or reinforcing new forms of racial discrimination under the guise of promoting equity and inclusion. In that sense, a framework intended to combat discrimination can itself become a vehicle for it. I’m curious to hear others’ perspectives on this. Thoughts?

I am curious as to how the current employees feel about the whole MofA debacle. Job security, company outlook and general overall view of the direction of the company!
Actually I don't care, but it would be interesting to see how the inside feels. lol

Has it started yet?

Has anyone heard anything about any of these roles?

Please post your region, group, and (if comfortable) age once it starts. Let's try and keep it clean, just for the layoff info so we know what's going on. TY
