Not even end of my shift for my last day today and they already took away my access to clock out for lunch and end of day. Mypay shows authentication failed. Anybody else?

The most-endangered species in corporate America today might be the manager overseeing a tiny team.

The latest broadside against small-team bosses comes from Uber. The ride-sharing giant said it would reduce the number of “micro-teams”—those with only one or two direct reports—by nearly half.

The move is part of a broader plan to cut 10% of its staff, about 3,300 people. Ultimately, the company will have 20% fewer managers, a spokesman said.

The cuts highlight a larger shift afoot: CEOs want managers overseeing bigger groups, with fewer layers between individual workers and executives at the top of companies. Many employers now expect managers to do less coordinating between departments, and to spend more time in the trenches building products or generating revenue themselves.

For the supervisors still standing, that often means doing a job that is bigger, and more complicated, than ever. Workers, meanwhile, say it can often be tough to get time with bosses overseeing evermore people.

Watching the burdens on bosses grow, many junior employees say they have no interest in pursuing the management track.

There have been small groups of layoffs trying to run “under the radar” that have begun at USI. I don’t really see the point of letting people with meager salaries go and keeping execs who literally do nothing and cutting them could actually result in substantial savings. Just giving everyone a warning!

Why are some saying there was no severance package for those involuntarily let go this time while others are saying there were? Can anyone who was laid off set the record straight?

Piper Aircraft has successfully avoided layoffs for ten years, a significant turnaround from its past. The company now focuses on retaining its 1,500 employees. It offers incentives to ensure staff loyalty. This marks a period of stability for the Florida-based manufacturer. The firm is the largest employer in Indian River County.

I normally like to keep up with the latest phone because I like technology but hesitant to upgrade because I don’t want to be locked into a contract with an employer who wants me to quit or wants to fire me.

My plan is already ridiculously priced even at employee discount. Can’t imagine being locked into paying full price to an organization that just fired me.

I think will be switching to another carrier soon or going to an MVNO. I hate eSIM by the way.

I honestly find it hilarious when I see and hear coworkers talking about lawsuits and how “someone, somewhere” is going to do it. Basically, someone else, not them. They don’t have the cojones to stand up themselves; they need someone else to step up first.

The problem is, no one will. Dell can blow away any talk of lawsuits with enough coin and a stack of NDAs.

We’re all sc--wed. Nobody seems to have a real set of big, masculine te------s, we’ve all been neutered, myself included. We’ll just keep taking it up the dirt track with no lubrication and pretending it'll get better or we'll get a healthy severance.

Average Salary Increase to expect…sample for CL 28 @ 90% of salary curve. Extrapolate as appropriate.

OWD = 8.32%
O = 4.5%
E =3.1%
VG = 1.2%
G = 0.01%
NI = 1e-26%
NSI = :(

You can’t continually increase targets to levels that are perceived as unachievable, while putting commission behind a 45% attainment threshold, and expect motivation and performance to remain unchanged. At some point, if the majority of people are effectively working for basic salary, the company shouldn’t be surprised when it gets basic-salary effort.

I'm at three now. Each one felt like the end of the world at the time. And each one taught me the same lesson, that you're just a number to them. No matter how hard you work, no matter how much you give, they'll cut you if it fits the spreadsheet. Sad but true.

Does anyone on the inside know when the next round of layoffs will occur? I know it's constant but it's not every month. I know it's soon and this side of Christmas but does anyone know when?

Total mismanagement at the top, they have all this money in the bank and they are doing nothing with it. Total Cash: $1.96 billion = Total Cash Per Share: $12.25
Why aren't they paying employees? Why aren't they repaying $1.5billion of debt? They don't know how to run a business

When is the next lockout? As company profits and executive compensation soars the workers just keep getting squeezed

I was moved under a new director earlier this year and she acts like a narcissistic bulldog that has had too much coffee. Constantly yelling on calls and on the floor, making people feel stupid, and challenging all sorts of work things that don't impact her group, and just an bad vibe all around. always loud and angry.

I'm looking for jobs elsewhere but its not easy, and I doubt HR would do anything if I Iogged a complaint (other than get me laid off next, trying to avoid that as much as I hate working here).

Hoping that Saint Louis no longer being a hub gets me reporting up to someone else soon but nothing has happened since the announcement last year. Anyone hear anything recently on the folding up of ops in saint louis??

Usually pre reorg they use consultants to assess the structure and talent. Who is LHH? Why is goal setting such an urgency when majority of folks get ignored and sc--wed

Did anyone from Florence aml layoffs get rehired and how long did it take? And what position was it?

This is embarrassing, but I didn’t have any job lined up, so I had to choose PIP while actively searching. I found this website and others experiences... they completed every PIP task and still got terminated. Is it really out of my control?

I know of a few sr managers who are still here, in non-hub locations, while others have already either received their notices or been displaced. Portland, OR is one of them. Corporate Risk/FCRM. Is it preferential treatment? Exception made? How can someone Sr be spared while others are already gone?

Because mine certainly isn't.

Has anyone else these past couple of weeks noticed a large surge in cancelled contracts? Many different reasons but also many that are unhappy with the current onboarding process. Are nurses beginning to avoid taking contracts with MedSol?

I’ve heard a handful of people in the different offices were already let go, and the NZ office is gone now. Is this a trickle effect? Wondering how far we have to wait for the other shoe to drop.

Since I haven’t had a raise in 3 years this will be the first time I don’t donate in almost 20 years. Executives can pick up the slack as their compensation increases are significant every year and outpacing what employees are receiving by a large margin.

Uber Technologies will lay off ​about 3,300 employees, or 10% of staff, in its largest cuts since the COVID-19 pandemic, to better navigate the ‌rise of robotaxis encroaching on its ride-hailing business.

I honestly don't know if I'll be here in 12 months. Do you?

I can't say I'm being laid off, but I'm definitely being pushed out. The workload is impossible and the support is nonexistent so the stress is suffocating. They're not showing me the door but they're making me want to walk through it myself. And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way.

God speed

As if our benefits in the US aren’t insulting enough, I just learned about the perks given to India.

Samsung discounts
Relocation assistance
Day care
Apartments and hotels
Salary accounts
Percentage of home loans waived
Restaurant discounts
Meal cards
Interest on their direct deposit at 6.60%

Meanwhile, in the US, we get measly discount to a museum.

Garbage company.

Hearing this morning that several folks are impacted and told to wfh. Credible source but can anyone else verify?

When layoffs were something others had to worry about, but not us? I miss those days.

Trying to get rid of everones work cell phone now. how cheap can this company get can't even give a little compensation for making us use our personal phone. I'm actually for it now. when I leave let the clients call me so I can tell them to leave and how horrible everything is.

Does anyone know how much DXC contributes towards an employee's health insurance - medical/dental/vision? Just a ballpark number.

It doesn't sound like they contribute 80/20 or 70/30 that some of the better performing companies do. I haven't used DXC's plan bcoz my spouse has a good one but was wondering if I had to use what would my cost vs DXC's be; I'm definitely saving DXC some money there right now.

Helped us realized the amount of underpaying is criminal. Talk about your wages, everybody. You'll be shocked how many of you are getting robbed.

The moment you make more than your coworkers, you're on the radar. Seniority doesn't protect you, it does the opposite, it makes you more expensive and more vulnerable. I've seen it happen to people who dedicated years to this company. They were paid for their experience, and that's exactly what made them a target.

Cornerstone Building Brands will close its Walbridge facility in December. This closure will result in the layoff of 104 employees. The company cited evolving market and business conditions for the decision. Alternatives were evaluated, but the closure was deemed unavoidable. Employees have been notified of the impending layoffs.

Penn State has announced layoffs affecting 31 full-time employees at WPSU as the public broadcasting station transitions to new ownership. Many of these employees are anticipated to transfer to the acquiring entity, with some already receiving job offers. This development follows the Penn State Board of Trustees' approval of the sale of WPSU to WHYY in October 2025. The station's transfer is currently undergoing review by the Federal Communications Commission, which includes a public comment period. University officials anticipate the acquisition to be finalized by mid-September, with contract extensions available if FCC approval is delayed.

Get out of this place before you lose yourself

Are they for real? I think they actually believe the bullsh-t they come out with. Redundancies are not even complete and they are telling us about a great Future.....no one cares anymore, not even the once forced to stay.
Totally unprofessional
