If you’re not very actively looking you’re being a fool. They are going to find every conceivable way to push you out. Questioning your scope, doubting the need for headcount, pretending to not understand functions that have existed for years and are crucial - all to hit a stock price. Opps exists solely to destroy as many lives as possible. HR is just legal cover so they can pretend there’s a “peocess.” There will be devastating layoffs in September, followed by nonsense where they choose 15% people they don’t think are cool enough (because IBM is basically a mean girl club in a jr high school) to not get bonuses hoping for attrition,, followed by more debanding - hoping for attrition, followed by a five day workweek hoping for attrition, followed by another round of devastating layoffs - which probably just barely gets us to next summer. “Operations people” at IBM are subhuman filth who only care about hurting as many of you as possible. Protect yourself. Protect your children. Get out. That has to be your full time job. Just get out.

Trimming The Fat
HyVee new corporate mission statement is called Trimming The Fat. Jeremy G is cutting any program that is not turning a profit. Jeremy is going to get lean in the next 5 years. They are talking about closing 50 stores that haven’t made profit in 30 years. They are looking at cutting labor. Looking at cutting wages for director and mangers. The next five years will either bring HyVee back from Randy E failures or HyVee will file for bankruptcy. Time will tell.

Nothing happens to them. Terrible results? Raise our compensation! ELT needs a whole new takeover but alas, that will never happen
ELT - congrats on making money hand over fist while downsizing the company only to get worse results!
Cuts continue
UPS is continuing a nationwide downsizing effort by consolidating parcel distribution facilities, eliminating shifts, and closing underutilized sites to cut excess capacity and improve productivity. The latest actions include laying off 62 workers in Dallas, Texas, where a day shift is being eliminated, and shutting a facility in Wilmington, North Carolina, on September 23, with most employees expected to transfer to another location. Additionally, UPS closed a parcel center in Pocahontas, Arkansas, on August 8, though job impacts there were not disclosed.
These changes are part of a broader network reconfiguration aimed at eliminating 200 sortation centers over five years and increasing automation.
The restructuring follows other recent closures and layoffs, including 99 job cuts in Charlotte, North Carolina, in May and a temporary shutdown of a New Orleans facility in July that affected 177 workers. UPS leadership has acknowledged stagnant package volumes for nearly two years and is intentionally reducing low-margin business, including phasing out half of its work with Amazon. Overall, the company expects to operate with 20,000 fewer workers and is also offering voluntary separation packages to drivers, though uptake has been slow.
