AT&T reaches $184.1 million settlement with employees over pension plan

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/att-reaches-1841-million-settlement-with-employees-over-pension-plan-2026-07-10/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTEKVJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe9F2mbbtmPKo-nHk_FHETWoUk_r3TFizAIiLcr0T2o89aJ1TIuHWo21atRP8_aem_0MuIUwR05W493TizMA5zzg


LinkedIn habitants

If you want to know who to let go first, just scan your team’s LinkedIn activity. The ones with zero meaningful deliverables yet constantly posting generic AI-generated slope are telling you everything you need to know. They’re not building value; they’re performing visibility. Cut them.


Now this

I work in the US. Remember when we were told RTO is to collaborate with colleagues? Well two of my colleagues were discussing an issue in hindi. I’m guess that’s what it was or maybe it was one of the 20 other Indian languages. It was only a matter of time.


Employee Sentiments

Anyone else feel like everyone is just forcing themselves to work? The only motivation is keeping your job and doing the better minimum, not going above and beyond. Why would anyone push themselves further? Not sure how the company will ever excel when the culture consists of people that don't give af


Why are they bothering with Mid year review for Remote employees if they plan to lay us off!?

Why are they wasting peoples time? Now that the cat is out of the bag and remote employees and Employees not in the same hub as their team are being targeted for future layoffs, why do they torture us and the Manager by having mid year?

Just give us our severance so we can move on with our life. Tired of this so bleed


Downtown Campus Safety

Another violent weekend in Downtown Milwaukee with more takeovers, police officers injured with explosives, another officer literally run over by a car, and too many other incidents to list individually. Are employees waking up or are they still buying into TG’s imaginary safety bubble surrounding NM’s campus? If you believe in the bubble I have a great investment call LearnVest to sell you. Oh wait.


Sign on bonus repayment

I was in run 2 2025 LEAP, so I got my first sign-on bonus payment August 15th, and the second one October 10th. I have another offer that wants me to start ASAP, and I, like everyone else, fu--ing hate it here. My employment agreement specifies that if I quit before one year after payment, I have to pay Fidelity back. Is there a way to sign up to be laid off early? If I resign right after August 15th, I would only lose the second payment but get to keep the first, right?


Thinking of changing my mind

Hey! I’m an RN in UM and initially I was going to take the VSP and just get the he-l out of there with all the crazy stuff that’s been happening the last few years. It’s not the company I initially signed up for. Then I started reading about VSP’s and the different tax issues and wondered if they would even pay us that amount, worrying about acceptance etc. So I backed out and declined it. today’s email definitely came out of left field and now I’m thinking I should just take the damn VSP. The clock is ticking and I’m on the fence. My concerns are that if you don’t take the VSP and are one of the employees that are left behind the workload is going to be nuts – with all the crazy new changes and lack of staff it’s gonna be worse than it’s ever been.Anyone else going back and forth on this at the midnight hour? Thanks for listening and good luck to all of you! 💗


Need to be laid off - Balvinder

So much churn here, it is looking like mixer grinder on full speed. And perfect timing also with in-person work is starting soon, and now we have a new SVP with full “I have a PhD in retail/store” energy. Apparently he is telling us Jack himself recruited him. Very God. Very VIP. Please bow and clap.

But one small clarification: this Sprouts, not Walmart. Budget is not unlimited, people are not lining up to suffer, and nobody is waiting for some retail professor to come and save the day.

People already do not want to work with him. Existing employees are looking. New hires are ghosting after talking to him.

He is in for a rude awakening. Organic. Locally sourced, and very expensive


iHeartMedia Cuts Staff, Impacting Radio Personalities

iHeartMedia confirmed new staff reductions across its radio markets. Numerous radio personalities and other staff were impacted by these changes. These layoffs affected employees across many markets nationwide. Several long-tenured individuals, some with decades of service, departed the company. The company cited restructuring as the reason for these changes.

safeguarding h1B employees?

I hope companies take the H‑1B debate seriously. The program should fill real skill gaps. Not create protected groups or favoritism. I really hope FNM is safeguarding against this, because some things raise concerns in teams. Fair standards and open knowledge sharing should apply to everyone, regardless of visa status.

Layoff managers vs employees

If every 10 employees lose 3 positions while management remains unchanged, the organization should also evaluate manager-level roles. Workforce reductions should be based on efficiency and business needs at every level—not only on frontline employees. A balanced approach creates fairness, accountability, and a leaner organization.


Hiring remote Executives

So USAA is doing corporate investigations on lower level employees for RTO, yet they keep hiring executives to be remote, how hypocritical is that? I submitted a JAR earlier today once I saw on LinkedIn the new Chief Information Security Officer is remote. My reasoning, my director is remote in San Diego, ED is remote in New York, a girl on my team remote in Hawaii, and another girl remote in New Mexico and a guy remote in Iowa. Yet I’m the only one in office (Charlotte) and I live in South Carolina, but since it’s only 58 miles and not 60, I’m told to be in office.


VSP & OWBPA for employees over 40

Does anyone know how & when the OWBPA (Older Workers Benefit Protection Act) will come into effect for employees over 40? Before making any decision, I want to clearly understand:

  • The specific rights of employees over the age of 40
  • The consideration period (typically 45 days)
  • The revocation period (typically 7 days)
  • Whether an age disclosure list will be provided & when
  • What happens if I decline to sign the release after acceptance.

Please do not confuse these questions with the timeframe we’ve been quoted to apply for the VSP.


Takeda's Cuttin'

Takeda Pharmaceutical, Massachusetts’ largest life sciences employer, is preparing to lay off 247 employees in Cambridge, with cuts beginning as soon as July 1, 2026 and some possibly extending into 2027.

The article is posted here: https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/healthcare/articles/largest-mass-biotech-employer-axing-181441933.html

The layoffs are part of Takeda’s broader Transformation Program, approved in March, which aims to save about $1.2 billion annually by 2028. Globally, Takeda plans to cut around 4,500 jobs by March 2027, which is less than 10% of its workforce. The Massachusetts layoffs are included in that global figure, not an additional round.

A major driver is the sharp decline of VYVANSE, Takeda’s ADHD dr-g, after it lost U.S. patent protection in August 2023. U.S. sales reportedly fell 63% last fiscal year as generics entered the market.

Takeda said many affected Massachusetts employees have already found other roles inside the company, and it has about 2,100 open positions globally, including in Massachusetts. The company says it is prioritizing internal candidates.

The article also notes that Takeda recently lost an antitrust case involving AMITIZA, but the company said that verdict is not connected to the layoffs.

Takeda is now relying on several experimental dr-gs, including oveporexton, rusfertide, and zasocitinib, to help replace lost VYVANSE revenue.
