#displacement

1. Lay off the people who do a task.
2. Don’t assign anyone else to the task.
3. Be surprised when the task doesn’t get done.
4. Profit?

Its been almost a year since Cargill displaced so many colleagues. I see all the linkedin posts of the highly political leaders taking credit for foundational efforts of others they dismissed without even a second thought. It is still sad and heartbreaking reminder of how cruel the culture was. Wonder if current employees even bother to check in on those that still do not have jobs or that left without any acknowledgment of their years of service to this cold company.

Like it or not, a lot of work is done by HCL or TCS (maybe others]? What is the view as to if these will stay. because LEX has lots of employees in low-cost countries will work done by third party now just move to them?

Has anyone consulted with a lawyer on the displacement paperwork agreement with WF?

I have zero intentions of not signing but just want to make sure there is no reason to get a lawyer to review.

Thank you.

A colleague told me they got some sort of pre-notice (working) of ~30 days before they were going to get an official notice of 60 days (non-working) in the near future. I've only heard of something like this in broad locations getting displaced and NOT individuals. Is this new or just very unique situation? EVERY individual I've known displaced prior was immediately non-working.

I’m being displaced in October. And then I’ll have severance for most of next year. Can I enroll in a flexible spending account for 2026?

Salesforce is at the front of this shift, with CEO Marc Benioff peddling his “Agentforce” AI tool and recently touting an AI-driven cut of 4,000 “heads” from his customer support ranks. But this didn’t entail a layoff of 4,000 workers, the company said. Inside the San Francisco tech giant, there’s now a growing effort to soften AI’s job replacement blow.

I was on the elevator yesterday with managers talking about a Senior Executive is visiting our site 9/16/2025. When this happens there's always displacements. Please displace me today. Displace me with severance please and thank you. Anonymous.

The bank wants its on-shore employees to be gone.

Many (most?) of these same employees hate their jobs but are unlikely to leave due to the current job market. It's hard to spend all day in a job you hate and then find the mental/emotional energy after getting home, dinner, etc to job hunt. It's not impossible, but difficult.

Enter severance.

If the bank is worried about high performers leaving, they can stop worrying. Disengaged employees are not high performers. People perform highly when they like their job.

Nearly all employees that would take the voluntary buyout are exactly the employees the bank wants gone anyway.

The bank keeps hoping that people will leave on their own. It's not going to happen. Wells needs to take lead on this.

Until then, the armies of unhappy employees will continue to do the bare minimum. I don't understand how the bank sees this as the better option.

Wondering which date I will most likely be hit. Guessing 10/14 to avoid 401k match, but who knows.

Since I'm still technically an employee during the 60 day period following the notice of displacement (October), I take it I wait to apply after the 60th day (in December)?

When I'm displaced, will I still get access to Develop You and Pluralsight resources to complete courses for my development?

If so, is this about the 2k Shart gave everyone?

I shared with my manager before about what our site knows about the displacement timeline (month) and now Manager keeps asking me for displacement updates (asking if we will we get a working or non-working notice). Shouldn't managers know that!? AWKWARD and pathetic.
