How do managers sleep at night when they have to downgrade someone who clearly earned a better performance rating?

Has anyone got an extension to stay beyond the reporting date at the new location?

Massive insiders selling stock and nothing given to the employees ever. Leaving bag holders. Get far away from dell

Los Angeles city officials expect to avoid layoffs for 70 employees. These positions were slated for elimination in last year's budget. The City Administrative Officer recommended halting the layoff process. This occurs despite a projected $96.8 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year. The City Council must still formally approve this recommendation.

Mount Vernon School District staff expressed dissatisfaction with recent personnel actions. The district cut 13 educator roles and transferred 41 teachers. Employees learned of these changes through email, causing distress. The district faces a $5.5 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year.

Mankato Clinic announced employee layoffs on Tuesday. Just under 100 employees were affected across all clinic locations. This represents about 10% of their total workforce. The layoffs were effective immediately. CEO Aaron Johnson cited significant financial and operational challenges.

Since Andrew left, and he only led for approximately 4.5 years or so, the treatment of employees has gone down to the gutter. The only period in which employees were treated fairly was during his tenure. Look up the history of UHG leadership and you will see what I’m saying. I was recently laid off after working here for 15 years. They not only offered me 5 weeks of pay, they put very “questionable language” in my layoff package.
Accepting their layoff package is accepting more abuse on the way out.
• If they get sued you should be on their side.
• If you were mistreated and (I’m watering this part down) or if you saw someone being mistreated, by accepting their severance you are saying it never happened.
• If you catch wind of them potentially being sued, you should warn them
• Also they added that you should not expect any payment for any of this! hahahahaha!!!!!!
• And if they call you for help with work after you’ve left, you have 48 hours to get back to them and help. This is teetering on… “fill in the blanks”…. and not even enforceable!
Who do their lawyers think they are? Very thuggish! I asked others that were laid off with me and they had similar language. And one that worked for 3 years only got 2 weeks worth of a paycheck.
This is all provable and true! To those of you still there, this is how they treat you after years of service, that’s if they don’t put you on a CAP or PIP to manage you out like someone said in a post on the UHG link here. They did this recently to my friend who worked in UHC for 25 years!

Does anyone know when is the next wave of layoff coming and if they would be giving us severance package? I am sick of upper management

all gift officers were given notice yesterday

I’ve been here long enough to see how decisions get made, and it doesn’t feel great at all. A small circle seems to have most of the influence, while everyone else just waits to see what changes next. I know no company is perfect, but I’d like to be somewhere that treats employees as more than expenses. At this point, I’m thinking it may be time to look around.

I’ve worked here a little over two years and have seen a few people leave, but none of them mentioned getting a better offer to stay. At past jobs, managers sometimes tried to match pay or move people into a different role. I’m not sure if that’s something this place does. Has anyone seen it happen, or is notice usually just accepted?

You can't slash decades of collective knowledge for a small budget win over and over again and then look confused when everything starts falling apart. That isn't bad luck, that is the direct result of your own choice.

I am consistently astonished to observe that during every layoff at Walmart, none of the leadership seems to be affected for an extended period; they often return to the same position or role at Walmart after being impacted.

Positions such as Directors, Senior Directors, Group Directors, VPs, and SVPs are rarely affected here at Walmart. Additionally, their employer benefits could potentially save hundreds of jobs for individual contributors who genuinely provide significant value to the organization.

Ultimately, it is the individual contributors who truly bear the brunt of these layoffs.

My site is pushing hard on metrics for client facing phone roles in brokerage. They are putting any below the national average on key metrics like CPH on an “unofficial” PIP. So, lots of people getting put on a PIP.

I’m hearing from other site leaders this is a strategy to push reps up or out, documenting everything and focusing more on tenured reps.

Anyone else affected by this or seen this play out before?

A couple of places says the 401k lawsuit will be this Friday, June 12. A couple of places say no set date has been established.

Anyone know anything more official-like?

Supercell has reduced staff within its North American division. This news emerged from social media posts by former employees. A co-founder of one US branch, Steve Desilets, was among those impacted. His studio's game project was canceled, leading to the team's disbandment. Supercell has not yet publicly commented on the situation.

No longer can get a masters degree? Are these clowns really continuing to go down this cost savings route? We already have zero job growth with no new positions anywhere in finance (and other depts). Whatever, the company su-ks now and I’ll just do the bare minimum until I find something better

So I heard that we’re not retaining any non tenured Rosemont employees except for one of the Veeps. How is this a merger? Sounds more like a real estate transaction.

I’m genuinely curious. Why are you clinging to a company that no longer wants you?

I was an IC that took initiative and did impactful work that improved the performance of my entire team many times but my manager’s actions showed that they didn’t appreciate me or value me so I volunteered to be laid off and I was.

Actions speak louder than words and I think many of them look down on their underlings. So why are you clinging to these arrogant a**holes?

Interfor decided to indefinitely close its Nairn Centre sawmill. This closure affected 129 mill workers. MPP France Gélinas raised the issue at Queen's Park. She recently met with the displaced employees. A government representative offered a general response.

Whirlpool Corporation announced 288 job cuts. These layoffs affect its Amana, Iowa, manufacturing facility. The company states this is part of a multi-year modernization plan. Second-shift production will cease effective July 5. A law firm is investigating potential federal worker notification violations.

With all of the systems issues we shouldn’t be counted for today being in office. I went home after a few hours of spinning systems.

The head of tragedy. The sultan of swirl. The iron lung. Fired.

Steve's comments were fine but Christa Ferrell publicly revealed herself in her own words as spiteful and the Adil Mirza acknowledged that he just takes other people's work and put his name on it. Is Sophia really that tone deaf that she thought that would be motivating or was she just too lazy to review the final video? Happy EAW folks, keep doing a great job for our spiteful, plagiaristic and lazy leaders.

At the ISP Town Hall last week, during the agenda portion at the beginning the moderator mentioned QA’s and a meeting pulse. Eric said “you’re not going to allow 4-1 questions right?” Leadership in the room all giggled. Then he said “gas prices are high, can we go to 3-2, what an absurd question”. So dismissive and out of touch with the everyday employee at his firm. He’s referencing the Rob sharps town hall last month when him and the MC dodged all questions regarding RTO. Not everyone can afford a personal driver and a nanny while he leads a company into layoff after layoff, a crashing stock price etc.

Anyone else notice no one is getting promoted since ER?

So they tell us to use AI, your review next. Year will be dependent on your AI Adoption. Then when they figure out how expensive it is and they say oh you only get so many tokens now.

So what is it. My job depends on AI Adoption or my job depends on AI Tokens.

Please make it make sense.

Down with AI!!!!!!

People will make sacrifices for a company with upside momentum. A company growing fast. A company where employees share in the upside growth.

That’s usually how the deal works, you give more, and you get more.

Maybe it’s equity. Maybe it’s stock appreciation. Maybe it’s career opportunities. Maybe it’s the feeling you’re building something special, but let’s be honest… Nobody believes AT&T is becoming the next Nvidia or SpaceX.

The stock has spent years going sideways while leadership lectures everyone about being “market-based.”… In an actual market-based environment, employees who make sacrifices are rewarded for them. They share in growth. They share in success. They see opportunity.

Here the expectation is simple… commute more, spend more, give up flexibility, absorb the cost, absorb the stress, and be grateful for the “privilege”. The company keeps demanding more while offering less. Less flexibility. Less trust. Less autonomy.

The problem isn’t that people don’t want to work. The problem is that leadership keeps asking employees to make sacrifices without offering anything meaningful in return.

The one thing this company actually had going for it was flexibility. Leadership took that away too, and now they’re surprised by the results.

Walmart is reassuring employees about artificial intelligence. The company gathered thousands of workers at its Arkansas headquarters. Executives stated AI will enhance jobs, not eliminate them. This effort follows concerns about AI-related job displacement. Walmart recently cut or moved 1,000 corporate positions.

My son was born when I had a remote job, then Covid happened and I was home all the time (he’s always been in daycare while I’ve worked, though). Now he’s in first grade and this back to office is ki-ling me because I can’t be in multiple locations at once. I get him to school at 8. We live just north of spring and on my best days, I’m still coming into the parking garage after 9am. I have a friend who helps me with carpooling from our neighborhood a couple of days a week and gets the boys to their mutual after school activities so I can meet them there but I feel like all I do is manage a commute to satisfy a rule that is not in the best interest of anyone who wants to also be present with their children. I was always very good at my job and being the mom with fully stocked cooler at the field. I look around and wonder who else is quietly dealing with this? And why aren’t we saying anything as a collective voice. I’m tired of decisions being made for me by men whose wives or nannies have made them believe this is manageable for people who are lacking coparenting support.

What happened to the people who actually knew how to lead a bank?

My manager keeps promising to fill open roles but nothing ever happens. We are drowning in work and every month it is the same story about help that never arrives.

Fresh 1-year lows on the stock. Morale at all time lows. Employee trust at multi-year lows.

Yet somehow we’re still talking about badge swipes, presence reports, and where people are sitting.

The market is asking for execution. Leadership keeps responding with attendance nobody cares about.

Those changes tend to drop out of nowhere but they matter too much to only find out when cuts actually happen.

I would have walked away from this place ages ago if I wasn't waiting on a payout.

We're the ones who usually pay the price whenever costs need cutting. Seeing others being hit for a change is a bit refreshing. No hate but it's about time.

People were let go with no warning. None. That's the scariest part of this whole thing to me. If there had been at least some indicator, something. But being a high performer and one of the most experienced people there, only to have the rug pulled out from under you like that... I feel so bad for them.

Mainly those who were laid off? I'm just curious, because for me, as soon as they're gone, that's usually the last I hear from them, or they hear from me.
