Or will it continue throughout the week?

Genuine question about the current structure of DPM roles at Allstate — does anyone else feel that the company has accumulated a very large number of Digital Product Managers, particularly when a significant proportion appear to have little or no previous experience working in technology? It would be interesting to understand how these roles are being assessed, what the expected technical/product experience is, and whether the current number of DPMs is actually aligned with the needs of the business. On my current team we spend more time having to explain the work we do to our DPM and sit in pointless meetings than actually getting to work.

With overall better financials being reported and bottom-line performance, it feels like company culture is going in the complete opposite direction in a decline. Is this sentiment felt across multiple disciplines?

Here we go again!

Does anyone have any insight of what is to become of freelancers. Last year majority were wrapped by year's end. Wondering if it will be the same this year?

How disastrous do y'all think this meeting will be? I am guessing we will be told about exploding costs after hearing about SV and Di's worldwide tours.

What is the town hall today going to be about?

Just more and more losses

Why did they rebuild CIP to be GIS?

What impact could this have on our people and our business?

That's the only thing I'd really like to understand.

How did we all accept this so easily?

How does Texas shake out in the next reorg?

It is awfully quiet in Plano and on this platform. Anyone has new info?

There has been a lot of positive language around agreements concerning job security, training and finding alternative positions. On paper, that sounds reassuring.

But there is an important phrase that worries me:

“In case” an alternative position is found.

What happens when there is no alternative position?

And what happens when operational reasons are used to justify termination?

AMD and Nvidia both attended. Based on the postings here I thought Intel was absolutely crushing it. How can Intel not be invited? It literally has Intel in the name!

If so, what has your experience been? It currently FEELS like I might be going through it, but not sure.

Not once was it mentioned in the All Hands. Did PACE take over for Win Now strategy? iWhat is going on? What’s next? These “leaders” are flailing.

Who will be at the Townhall next week? Lots to be discussed.

If you've received a severance, can you disclose how many years you were with the company, how many weeks of severance you received, and ballpark number on the amount? Just curious as to what details are looking like. Thank you for sharing!!

What’s up with the CEO? He’s been on LOA for a while now. Is he coming back? What happened?

Hows tricks in Aberdeen and Montrose nowadays? Moral good? Plenty work etc.?

Who else is excited to hear the emperor with no clothes sell us a full assortment during the all hands that is about to start?

Somebody mentioned this in another thread, what does that mean exactly? Is it unannounced layoffs? Or something else?

.. for all these CLUSTER F-KS? ISG engineering, product management, or both?

Are layoffs over? Did not hear anything for a while. Some countries apparently not impacted at all? (Czech)

They have now moved into the space of sc--wing up the Portland housing market! Finding irony in the fact she can’t sell her house!

The WBD folks don't seem to use their page as frequently as we do. When do we initiate them in our ways?

I see someone has already spread the Caribbean employee gag on the most recent post

So I’m seeing BT offering roles to oversee the JV and individuals from BT announcing they’re working on it but radio silence in Verizon… no roles being advertised, nobody being appointed. Doesn’t look like a joint venture it looks like a takeover. I doubt anyone from BT is going to understand VRD or what’s going on under the hood….

Does this mean we will be split up ? Any news ?

They absolutely know who has and who hasn’t taken the survey.

How? Everybody keeps saying this, but how do they know?

How are these budgets progressing for 2027? Who's cutting? Who's adding? Is AI going to save the day?

Those that have already been RTM how's it been going?

Any news?

Statement:
ConocoPhillips has notified employees, partners and regulators that it is evaluating a potential sale of its Norway business and Teesside asset after receiving an unsolicited offer. This evaluation is consistent with the company's disciplined strategy to optimize and high-grade its portfolio. If we do not receive an offer that meets the company's expectations for value, ConocoPhillips will retain the assets.

What are your thoughts?
