When is the next Beat. I am missing the commentary. That one person really made my day.

Did you like the Beat updates?

I’ve literally heard nothing about engine in my functions for months. Anyone have insight into it? Is it working? Or is it like agile, and we’ll just all forget it, and it’s associated magical thinking, ever happened?

But why not Ajay?!

Did anyone win nascar tix? I’ve heard of nothing from anyone in my division/group which seems odd.

Did they hoard them for VPs?

Sooner its gone the better. Does anyone know when?

Hans Vestberg is no longer on Verizon's payroll, correct?

Vestberg, continuing to deal with the remnants, thank you for the hot mess?

How many of Vestberg's top tier executives remain??

Gone are EVPs, to include Shank and Sampath... Which other executives are no longer affiliated at Verizon and who continue to remain??

Just had asset protection visit our office and do a presentation on how reports and investigations are handled!
I have been here 27 years and I have never seen these guys show up somewhere in person and usually you didn't even know they were here!!
Very suspicious they would even have a meeting with our group, has anyone else had this happen to them?
they even had a Q and A session after on their procedures.

Name one thing Verizon should do to improve its business.

Aside from the COVID period AT&T has laid people off twice a year for decades.

Safe to assume its more bad news for the employees, what with the recent hush hush layoffs crossing many parts of MDS…

Was BNY right to close it's two regional offices in Ireland ? Have services improved

So why does John Stankey drive a Range Rover? Shouldn't he be driving a Ford, GM, or Buick? Disgraceful

Let’s hear it

Wondering if different plans getting different information. Town hall for Fidelis today

I’ve been here a year and a half no email yet…

Anyone know?

Do we know if the emails will be sent throughout the day?

1. Brutal optimization, cash cow
2. Optimization, spin off
3. Optimization, AI security focus
4. Your option below

There are a lot of posts but obviously most need or want to stay, One PL commentator said that they are not expecting people to take it, just curious.

Hi all - I’m a director here, younger though. My connections are leaving left and right. Everyone in the company I “grew up with” is leaving. Question is WAGS - heard we lost specialty business entirely. I feel like we are really doing pi-s poorly right now. Anyone have any info?

Seeing a bunch of complaints on Slack about SpaceX and Elon lately.

Be real for a second: If you had to put your own money into just one company right now — SpaceX or Nike — which are you actually choosing?

We used to see financial analysis of Oracle after earnings in this channel talking about layoffs. Any thing happening ?

What is this collaboration with the clothing brand, Municipal? I'm failing to understand the strategy behind this.

Rumors has it that is is happening very soon... I would put it be end of the year (perhaps sooner). The question is, who would be the buyer?

Well, AS certainly has the language down already, how to make layoffs sound necessary even if there have to be other ways to cut costs. Well, it was to be expected, I guess. I just wonder how do you bring back a dying console by cutting and not actually trying to improve things.

That's the question. simple. yes no.

Or can it be considered a done deal by now?

Just curious.

We are a meme stock

This was already discussed in 2025, but wanted to get people's thoughts on how this would impact the Siemens Healthineers business?
Is it because Siemens AG doesn't see the Healthineers business as very promising? Would this move potentially lead to budget cuts/lay-offs for Healthineers folks?

I am new here but already getting the sense that layoffs are just part of the deal. I'm trying to figure out if this is something people always stress over or if it comes in waves and then fades.
