#employees

Digital activity has become a hot topic with leadership lately. We’re being told that if you don’t show consistent online activity, you could be flagged as “inactive,” which honestly has people worried about job security.

I’m trying to understand how this actually works in real life. We use the restroom, take lunch, attend meetings, step away to think, or work offline at times. Does that count against us? Are we really expected to show nonstop keystrokes for 8 hours straight?

Is anyone familiar with how this digital activity or logging process is tracked? Would appreciate insight from anyone who’s dealt with this or knows how it’s supposed to work.

Along with demoralizing remotes and all the other well-known, obvious or sneaky ways to wear people down until they leave on their own, or give leadership an excuse to kick them to the curb. If even a fraction of the time and energy spent on these cheap, convenient push-out tactics were redirected toward actually building the business and caring about employees, this could be a great company.

Any updates on Shell buying LLOG, what will happen to the people working offshore on the platform?

Am I wrong, has employee evaluation turned into a joke? Does it really matter what sacrifices you make to get good appraisal. It seems now the only smart thing to do is pray you not laid off cause you are a high earning employee due to past hard work.

Oshkosh Corporation to Lay Off 160 Plant Workers

Oshkosh Corporation plans to lay off employees. A total of 160 plant workers are set to be affected. The layoffs impact production areas at the Oregon Street plant in Oshkosh. The company reported a $52.8 million decline in third-quarter sales. Union leadership also cited the loss of a military contract and USPS truck production in South Carolina.

Missed the TH today until the last 5 minutes. Are employees getting bonuses next year?

1. Give employees the gift of better focus

Perhaps the most meaningful impact of AI content management is how it changes the employee experience.

By automating repetitive work and simplifying content discovery, teams can focus on higher-value tasks, such as strategy, innovation, and customer experience. It’s a lasting gift: fewer silos, faster collaboration, and a renewed sense of control over information.

This is better than the jelly of the month club, since this is the gift that keeps giving forever, not just the whole year.

Is the upper leader who said anyone who speaks poorly of Accenture gets fired gone yet? Many Nike employees were fired due to speaking the truth about them. They’re still failing greatly in tech. Just wondering if we still need to keep pretending all is well.

Every time we go thru these reorganization of markets and job, All they do is run lean and assign more work to their employees who are already overworked, stretched thin and under paid. They never give any more compensation for the extra work and when you call the speak up line, nothing ever gets done. What a joke this company has turned into. You want to cut the fat, Cut all the fat from Ram Krishnan and his entourage who spent hundreds of thousands dollars travel the world like he is running for president. He has done absolutely nothing good for the company!!!! I can think of past leaders who didn’t travel and had a bigger impact than this joker. We have to many layers of management in the facilities and nobody holds ANYBODY accountable. Cut the extra layers and have plant directors who hold people accountable and maybe we can get this company back to number one. Maybe if they actually talked to real people in The round table meetings and not their staged puppets, they would get real talk with real issues in the facilities. This used to be a great company and people carried but now it is a joke and we come just for a paycheck. Turn it around, get employee involvement and get us to actually care again and we can make it great.

Charter Communications, operating as Spectrum, is laying off 176 employees at its Portland, Maine call center as part of a strategic push for cost efficiencies and to embrace automation within the telecommunications industry.
Key points from the article:

• Number of Jobs Cut: 176 at the Portland, Maine call center.
• Reason: Strategic cost-cutting and a trend toward operational efficiency and automation across the telecom sector.
• Customer Impact: The company assures that the layoffs will not negatively impact customer service for Spectrum users in Maine, citing plans like rerouting calls and using automated solutions.
• Worker Support: Affected employees are reportedly offered relocation options and severance packages, with the Maine Department of Labor providing assistance like job placement services.
• Broader Context: This action reflects a wider industry trend of workforce reductions seen at other major telecom companies like Verizon and AT&T.
  Would you like more details on a specific section, such as the support offered to the affected workers or the industry-wide context?

There's been a zombie reply-all thing going on the past 2 days with some all FE employees mailing list. Every few minutes it's "please remove me from this list". Would be amazing for HR to build a list of everyone who replied for instant layoff. Not sure how you can be so r-tarded and still hold a job.

Stack rankings combined with trying to be more like Amazon has hurt the work environment. You end up focusing more on how you can present the impact of your work during performance management instead of true collaboration and creativity. They are pretty bad they do not care about employees they talk a good talk but it’s all bs loyalty comes from treating people not like slaves

Does anyone know how much package Shankar taking away? It will be way more than 20M that Dan allocated proudly to upskill riffed employees. Any thoughts or insider info? Does he deserve a package at all? In my mind it should be Zero Dollars.

20 orange suited people carting 8 bodies around an 8 seater jet. What sense does this make for a brand video wtf.
"Turning proficiency into exponential momentum".
I think they edited the part out when management drove over the engineers on the DXC

It's not often that an acquisition is completed and all employees of the acquired/sold org remain employed. Are we looking at the same thing? I'm just hoping that if we're looking at layoffs once we're officially no longer part of Teleflex, it's not anything major outside of redundant positions.

Pretty wild that employees at a company built by Shoe Dogs, people who literally sold shoes out of car trunks and lived the grind, are now running to an anonymous forum to complain. Nike became the top brand because it was built by people who pushed through the hard stuff, not posted about it. There Is No Finish Line, remember? If you can’t bring that energy, handle your issues privately or find a company that matches your speed...

Oh wait, you’re still at Nike because you secretly love the swoosh, the market won’t pay you more, or your job’s easier than you pretend.

The grift that keeps on grifting. He will consult through the transition.
Plus private jet perks and more for leading the company from 1st to 3rd place.
Will he still have a security detail?
Employee shareholders pay the price.

From folks who say, "The company doesn't have to give severance..." or "other companies do much less....".
What EFFIN BS.
Yes, WF HAS to provide severance. They have to abide by the employee handbook which they have published. For all you mo--ns out there who think WF is going above and beyond....LMAO! You are d-mber than a bunch of rocks!
WF HAS to abide by what they have committed to in their publications.
Yes, they can change it. But that will take time. They'll have communicate it, have to allow time for it to become policy. Even then, there will be challenges. Likely - as WF is wont to do, they'll sc--w some simply due to bad management or personal grievances. But, overall, any changes in policy will take time and have to be announced well in advance.
So to those of you who say, OH! But they are so awesome, they give sooooo much in severance!
I say to you, what a bunch of buffoons. You su-k. Totally and literally. Get a grip. WF only gives severance to shut folks up after a long tenure, then pittances for them. Why doesn't anyone talk about the employment contracts Sr. Executives get? With guaranteed bonus, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed yearly increases (based on actual, things that are written down)?
Yep, what a bunch of losers that decry what we, the workers complain about. We, the workers - are due MORE. MORE than what we are getting when we are thrown to the curb!!!
Just saying, had to get that off my chest. OK everyone, go back to your bingo games.....LOLOLOL

And was about to do 180 on benefits and treatment of their employees.

The most down voted posts here.

Adios.

Now what if I told you I was a former BNY Mellon employee who was let go several months ago, and has made dozens of attempts to look for work at Wells Fargo. A vast majority of my former coworkers also left BNY from 2024-2025, either voluntarily or being let go, and they coincidentally ended up at Wells Fargo.

So far I've faced nothing but rejections, some of them instantaneous. When I login to the WF Workday site to keep track of my various applications, I've noticed that all of the dozens of the applications in my dashboard have "no longer considered" for their statuses. All of them.

Do you think it's personal, as in someone at WF remembers me from BNY and does not want me there – or is it how they're treating everyone nowadays?

One person called Verizon their dream job. Another few people were 'thanking' Verizon. Another few were claiming that these people 'deserved it'.

Stop breaking your backs for this company, man. Have some respect. You don't need to have all of the answers, but people don't need to be su-king up to the incompetence in this company.

So every year we employees have to do “training” about the PepsiCo code of conduct. This is the first year in my many years as a Faithful employee where I have felt it is a performative joke. My senior leadership is very much violating said code of conduct by creating a toxic and antagonistic work environment. And it is apparently CEO sanctioned. PepsiCo is no longer the supposed ethical company it claims to be. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying.

we are hearing rumors that employees are moving to a different location in january and there could be a layoff round in december and that butters construction and the boca development fell through and there might be a fire sale of the facility like 320 park last year. What have all of you heard ?

Any Northern California people affected?

Or its employee only special offer

While Hans is running through the streets of Abu Dhabi shouting “Leeeeeesssssss Gooooooooo” and Dan the man is completely silent, VZ Employees are left with what today?

Who actually has any morale or pride left in working for this company? Is anyone actually proud to be a VZ employee? If the business as a whole doesn’t sink, the morale and sense of pride sure have. Prove me wrong.

been on flma leave. Has the employee culture survey results been released yet and how did HR do this year with changing the work environment for the better ?!?!?

Former Hessie in transitional role. It's been 7 weeks and we are abandoned in the Hess building incommunicado. Not a one of us has been contacted by our new CVX managers. Logging on while collecting a paycheck just in case. 👀
I spoke with some CVX transitional people (former coworkers of mine from a past life) and they too have been cast off from their original team and left in the lurch.

No one understands why they kept us on the payroll but I suppose it's a good problem to have if I don't die from boredom. No plan for us whatsoever. Thank god my tenure ends in 1 month. I pity the ones being held hostage till summer awaiting severance.

This is the strangest layoff I've ever seen/lived thru in more than 20 years (and 2 of those were CVX acquisitions in the 2000s).

120,000-140,000 corporate employees voluntarily departing in the next 2-3 months.

Vote with your feet! Your signing bonus will be the severance that you're passing up.

Verizon's number of employees has been declining over the years. Here are the numbers:

• 2024: 99,600 employees, a 5.5% decrease from 2023
• 2023: 105,400 employees, a 9.99% decrease from 2022
• 2022: 117,100 employees, a 1.1% decrease from 2021
• 2021: 118,400 employees, a 10.44% decrease from 2020
• 2020: 132,200 employees, a 2.07% decrease from 2019
• 2019: 135,000 employees
• 2018: 144,500 employees
• 2017: 155,400 employees
• 2016: 160,900 employees
• 2015: 177,700 employees

The decline in employees is part of Verizon's restructuring efforts under new CEO Dan Schulman, aiming to reduce costs and improve competitiveness in the telecommunications market ¹ ² ³.

I pray only those that weren't working anyway get cut. The ones that are never on any calls, ignore emails, not on slack, you don't even know if they're working or on vacation. Somehow they always get away with it. Whatever that group of people's number is that's the number of employees vz should go down.

Leaving Nike was the best decision I've made in my life. I did not realize I was in depression working in such a company where employees don't do any actual work. I was at Nike for 5 years and left soul s**king Oregon and Nike. Much happier, lost 30 pounds in a year, my health markers are healthier.

My friends who work there have been trying to get a job for 3 years. That's what nike does to you - make you unfit for jobs outside!

Income RIF at the DV AZ USA location. Expect 20% of directors, managers, and employees to be laid off before Christmas

$126 billion in profit and they’re laying off workers? GREED, GREED, GREED. Good luck providing decent service!

Will the RIF impact any contractors, or just employees?

Are they laying off?

I’m seeing a lot of new employees this week. Or are they just wasting more money to pay people to learn then let them go?

good luck folks
