Based on the other thread seems like it’s possible, although not sure if only HR can view that or if managers get that report as well. Any managers here can confirm or refute this?

Does anyone know what changes are being made to the STI program for 2026? The communication sent to managers makes it sound like negative things are headed our way.

Thank you for all that you’ve done! Here are your impossible deadlines, and here’s your Meets Expectations. For some, here is your pip instead of layoffs with packages

Will layoffs definitely happen 2/26? Is this the last round for the “2,000 employees”? Does anyone have any insight on which areas?

Ram led a beverage turnaround, earned the credit, and was rewarded with a promotion and a massive pay increase. We delivered a beverage turnaround too—so why did we receive only 69% of our bonus target? At some point, we have to stand up and say: enough is enough.

Dell has changed, they are no longer the company we once knew and loved.

When a system shifts risk to employees, the experience changes and the job starts to su-k more.

Stress becomes structural, not situational

The math starts working against the us

Even big wins can feel diluted

Over time, effort and reward drift apart, and trust in the model breaks down.

Great sales organizations create environments where performance, ownership, and outcomes stay aligned. When that alignment exists, people do their best work.

We have to ask ourselves, are we doing our best work or just trying to survive a broken system?

SF isn’t going anywhere: she appears committed to steering the company in the wrong direction, alongside her puppet minions; Toohey, Kehoe and Beatty.

We exceeded our targets largely because we reduced the workforce by 15k. The employees who remain are carrying significantly heavier workloads, with more responsibilities on their plates and no meaningful automation or improved processes to support them. New ways of working is just a facade.

We’ve invested millions in McKinsey, including commissions tied to projected savings effectively keeping them afloat only to see consultants and leadership reverse course on recommendations made two to three years ago. Well done Chief Executive officer and Chief financial officer!

We position ourselves as a global company, yet we don’t truly operate like one. Investment in senior roles and promotions is heavily concentrated in the U.S., while long-standing employees in other regions are seeing their roles downgraded and the value of their careers diminished. Let’s applaud our chief of people!

There also seems to be a disconnect even a sense of delusion in celebrating a 73% “recommend as a place to work” score. Many employees are worried about job security, have seen benefits reduced, and are under constant pressure from managers to “just get on with it.” The prevailing sentiment is that FIS does not genuinely care about its people. Well done chief of people!

And yet, we’re setting a goal to increase client NPS by 10 points. We’re still in negative territory the ambition appears to be to frustrate clients slightly less, rather than meaningfully improve their experience. Well done chief of clients!

There are no LEXMARK employees any longer, you got bought by XEROX and are therefore all XEROX EMPLOYEES now.

There, has that now sunk in.

Pretty sure more Layoffs are coming for us. Can those recently let go please let us know what the new severance package is so we can all prepare

Now we aren't paying photographers and more. Of course we blame the court. The large brands made a deal...so billions not going to be paid and it's only started
Meanwhile Bloomingdale's alone featuring 35 new brands on 3 floors in. NYC and it's only the start.. Nordstrom also featuring thousands of new items unlike before.

Lane Fire Authority (LFA) has paused employee vacation approvals. This action stems from ongoing funding concerns. Voters will decide on an increased operations levy in May. The same levy proposal failed to pass in November. LFA warns of staff layoffs and further service cuts if the levy does not pass.

Share this site with your colleagues it’s important that we all communicate with each other. What’s happening in this company is ridiculous. Sammy has destroyed this companyl

Share this site,we need to create a union!

I work in optum insight. I was moved to new team due to a restructure last year.
3 other people on the team have a job title that is 1 above, so they are eligible for bonus and I am not, along with 2 others.
This means we all work very similar roles, with now more pressure due to layoffs, and I get a 1.5% raise and no RRP due to my level, while they get 5k or more bonuses plus possible merit and a bigger base salary.

Why would I ever work hard when 3 other people are getting bonuses while me and others are not? For almost identical work. It would be different if they did a different job, but with the restructuring, our jobs are basically the same now with the same goals and metrics.
I am at the point of being extremely bitter.
Someone make this make sense at all.

This place is insane! Every Monday... I can't sleep the night before and just dread this place. State Farm has absolutely no clue what it is doing. There is always a systems problem, always some update waiting to be downloaded messing up some application. Over the last 13 years the people they are hiring are just absolute trash, bottom of the barrel burger flippers. 2040 and DEI outcasts. The agent's are completely useless and cause so many issues you can barely do you job due to their meddling. Training is awful, traffic and cost of living is horrendous in the hubs and we get paid the same as fully remote workers but have thousands of dollars in additional expense. Now it's all about emotions and feelings and surveys asking you about things they never have any intention of changing. You need to better manage your health to adapt to all the stress they are going to cause and never offer anything to make the work environment better.
State Farm is like a bad dream you never wake up from and the madness never stops. Just constant organized chaos and it's hard to believe this company is even in business. I still can't believe they destroyed this once great company. This place continues to be a soul su-king sh-t hole. They are basically openly hostile to anyone that tells them their baby is ugly and keep doubling down on a completely failed business model. I wish they would offer some form of voluntary severance. Just stop the suffering. Pathetic really, JF and his minions are joke for an era and legacy that need to be removed like a cancerous growth and they just continue to stain and destroy everything they touch. Mo--ns, just absolute mo--ns!

post here if you see this too.

2 DCO position's eliminated. Constant reduction and restructuring. Have has several immediate teammates eliminated as well.

I left Cigna couple of years ago and there is an opportunity coming my way to join back. Honestly, I am tempted as I am 5 days a week in person in my current workplace. Going back to 3 days will be a big time saver . I also live just 10 mins away . But looking at the recent posts, I am not sure if I will regret this choice.

Can someone describe what the process is for deciding which round you are a part of for the layoffs? I know I was marked because of what I was linked to workwise and sus behavior this year, but what determines what wave you are a part of? I have nothing to do and not sure why I am still here with nothing to do.

Did you guys already have compensation discussions?

Mini layoffs have arrived, at least in building 1. Anyone else impacted?

After numerous promises by different leaders across 2025 has anybody heard anything?

I noticed at the parking garage in Irving today the company has added “Lot Full” signs to a garage that is almost always empty. I took this as a harbinger of 5 DOW RTO.

Cigna no longer looks at performance anymore. You either are a stellar performer or a terrible one, if you make too much that’s thier budget they need to cut. If you make a little less they’ll keep you and pile on that other persons work they just let go. They layoff based on budget now so if you make a lot be warned.

We just got in 4 new forklift batteries … now there is a rule we can’t use the chains to pick them up off the pallet with a forklift to put them on the battery changer! So, home office .. please enlighten all of us on just how are we supposed to do this without a forklift? Let alone putting the old ones in a pallet to ship out ! Between u making our lifts go slower than the floor scrubber these so called safety changes are about the most id--tic changes in the 27 years I have been here ! Maybe home office needs to start working in clubs so they can try to do all this ! Be prepared for a lot more workman’s comp cases since these kinda changes are not safe for the associates !

Poudre School District's Board of Education will vote on authorizing teacher layoffs. This vote is scheduled for the 2026-27 school year. The district faces a potential budget cut of up to $17 million. Declining enrollment and reduced state funding cause this shortfall. Authorization allows the district to provide advance notice to affected employees.

DXC is dying, and leadership actions show it has no real intention to recover. DXC keeps a large cash surplus because it’s managing decline, not investing in people or growth.

Cash provides leadership with flexibility and protection as the business is in a managed decline.
• Build cash reserves → no investment → No plan for the future
• Only 'investment' is in Sales and Customer Experience centers to give an impression of investment - no real investment in offering innovation, people or value for clients
• No pay rises → avoids permanent costs
• Overpaid execs + buybacks → boost EPS and hit bonus targets
• Big cash pile → protects credit rating, reassures clients, funds restructuring
• Buyback investment → financial optics over long-term capability

In summary:
DXC is choosing control and shareholder optics over investing in itself or its people. DXC leadership is just waiting to cash out - waiting for a buyer, or waiting for someone to identify the very few assets, sell them off, and dispose of the rest.

I've heard of folks being let go for not staying the full day at the office and leaving early... supposedly HR is checking as of the past 6 months. Any truth to this? Has any managers heard of this?

65% of layoffs over the last 2 years have been Band 4 employees.

You have been warned.

has anyone actually been appropriately placed within their "position in range" per descriptions sent out last may? expected it to happen during the rewards cycle...

just wait until you leave and are a client! No wonder people hate TIAA. Trying to get anything done is is darn near impossible, your money is locked up in under performing produts, withdrawl options are nil, client services is horrendous and een simple changes take forever. I'm embarassed to have worked there fo ras long as I did. Thank God I left. Knowing what I know now, I'd never tell anyone to put money at TIAA. It's a joke.

So after the C suite took cash earned from ERP from 168 to 112 to fund future projects, removed raises, tanked the share price of the company impacting pay of anyone with any equity, doing constant layoffs....

The next thing we are being told is we are about to get a lesson on the Stoics? Yes, this is true. We need to compare ourselves to philosophers from 300 BC and ignore all this nonsense and see it all in a positive light. That is coming from the top.

As I see hiring I also see forced retirement and cuts for similar roles. Worst thing is they fire you and ban you from rejoining for life! one of the worst way to treat your own ex employees who you called family!!!

I left my assignment a year ago and moved to another business that seems to actually pay a decent packet for what Im doing, encourage anyone else to7 do the same

When I left, the only thing DXC bothered claiming was the laptop. My screen, 2 customer devices, an old workstation zbook and a few other things went with me
The way I see it, compensation for unpaid hours and poor treatment. Doesnt come close to thousands theyve had off me and others for free, but there

it really is shocking, isnt it?

Lucid Motors is reducing its US employee count by 12 percent. Marc Winterhoff, interim CEO, informed employees. The company aims for greater efficiency and profitability. Lucid seeks to become profitable amid a difficult EV market. The cuts do not impact hourly production staff.

I wont say much apart from this one thing “do you not know mike that your mc’s force people down to needs improvement when they really are not bad performers”

Because of my rating I am feeling sui-idal. My manager even said that they were forced to and that nothing is wrong. So Mike do you not know that this messes with peoples lives. Do you not fu--ing know.

The content I read here continues to assure me I made the right choice by taking ERP. So many comments reflect how I felt for years after donating my time playing the NRG/Buzz-Yammer/Bold Goal/Community Day/volunteer game, thinking it would get me somewhere.

Loyalty and long-term efforts used to mean something. No more, which is why the decision I made last summer was an easy and immediate one. Especially with the current batch of self-esteem as-----ns.

Hey, its me. The person with almost a decade of experience at your company that you laid off Thursday. Its okay, though. I knew. I knew before you knew because I know this company better than you. I've been on the ground floor while you've been on the golf course.

The company has changed. Have you even been around long enough to witness it? Im not talking about the missing "snack budget" or lack of team outings. I thought it was bad when talented people were leaving years ago. In the last year its gotten much worse than that.

Pay closer attention! Are you listening? Do you hear the tension in the meetings? The crackling of constant fires consuming your teams? Endless "Priority" and "No budget for that" rings in your ear like tinnitis.

There is a collective amnesia worsening as the brain drain sets in. Teams start to make the same mistakes that have been made before because there is nobody around who was there the last time it was tried or failed. So they have the same conversations, but this time nobody is left who is brave enough to speak the "quiet part" out loud for fear of "being next". The wrong choice is made this time.

But you're managing how many teams now? Did you even notice? Did you see how the work is rubber stamped before being sent to production? The person who actually took the time to thanklessly review it is gone. They won't be patiently fixing or correcting the HIH hire's issues either.

But thats okay because of AI, right? That'll make up for the skill shortage? And the severe understaffing? A trillion dollars has been invested in it! All the world's digital data fed into it! Its "the future" and "inevitable" or so they say. Uh oh, you ignored that silly SME (subject matter expert) who could actually tell the AI was hallucinating? Don't worry, that SME is gone now! You no longer have to hear about how they had to scrap the AI's work because it was "worse than a junior intern" or "if a human had broken the project this bad they would be fired". You can't even fire the AI because YOUR manager would fire you!

I could go on, but let's be honest: they dont pay you to read, think, or care. Your job is to get the CEO rich by helping pump that stock by any reckless means possible. Too bad its failing. Even with stock buybacks, outsourcing, layoffs, etc. Im sure you're safe, Mr. "Top Dog". What's that? An org restructuring is happening? ...HR would like you to read this prompt to yourself. Thank you for your service to the company.
