Im genuinely curious how/why sooo many people are losing their jobs yet theres a sh!t ton of job openings at Centene right now?! Some as recent as 1 day ago for open positions!!! The company is apparently “struggling” but the solution is bring in AI but terminate hundreds of employees?!

Some highlights:

The average trust score for RTO motives sits at a mediocre 59/100.
[...]
A staggering 72% of surveyed employees suspect their company’s RTO mandate is, in fact, attrition by design—a stealth layoff intended to make work life inconvenient enough that people quit voluntarily, allowing the company to reduce headcount without the PR nightmare or financial burden of severance packages.
[...]
Once employees feel they’re being pushed out or misled, their internal monologue shifts from "How can I contribute?" to "How can I protect myself?" Our survey captured the specific ways this tactical presence manifests. The most visible trend is coffee badging—where nearly half the workforce (46%) admits to showing up just long enough to swipe their badge and be "seen" before leaving to work elsewhere. While leadership often turns to strict badge-tracking to ensure productivity, our data suggests that aggressive monitoring actually backfires. We’ve identified a surveillance paradox: the more a company tracks a worker, the less that worker is bought into the company’s mission.
[...]
27.8% of interviewed employees have successfully negotiated a personal exception to the policy, while the rest are left to comply. This creates a visible two-tier workforce, where those without the leverage to opt out feel uniquely targeted. When you combine this lack of equity with the fact that 72% of surveyed employees suspect these mandates are actually stealth layoffs in disguise, the result is a total collapse of traditional corporate loyalty. If the company is perceived to be using office requirements to trigger resignations, employees no longer feel a moral obligation to give 100% of their energy to a single employer.

I called it months ago that we would never hear the results of the employee survey results. Similar to the survey results prior to this one, they claimed the 3rd party who facilitated lost them.
Did I miss the results? If so what were they?

FYI, P&G long term customer Essendant is going down. No money to pay bills and employees get no severance. Bad situation.

Fyi, Looks like a long time customer is going down. Employees received 60 day notice yesterday. Can't pay severance or bills. Bad news for vendors and customers.

Heads up, Looks like WB Mason's long time supplier is going down. Employees were giving 60 day notice yesterday. I'm sure the effects will be felt by customers and vendors far and wide. No severance pay for employees. No money to pay the bills.

Chevron is giving one to each employee amid record profits. Maybe Oxy can follow suit.

School Specialty is shutting down its Fort Atkinson plant. This closure will impact nearly sixty employees. The company is moving warehouse and distribution operations to other states. Layoffs are scheduled to begin in late September. Some employees have been offered remote positions.

Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

Prove employees are the most valid asset OT has.
Or continue the peppering of bad press until the company finally goes under.

When layoffs happen, higher up managers are going to be looking at the folks that have yet to return to the office. Employees are ratting out managers who don’t make their employees come back into the office. The morale is nonexistent and the employees who have been coming in for years are fed up.

Are we not having an employee survey this year? Seems like last year around this time we were getting the heads up it was coming soon. If they don’t, I hope they realize the optics of that.

Infosys fined heavily in France. Does not want to track when employees start and stop working.

Wonder why ?

How is our IDC folks doing ?

I have not received this Town Hall invite. Does anyone know any upcoming news surrounding Us Bank Home Mortgage employees?

Comment if you are relocating to HQ this year.

Did you know Arista is half the market cap of Cisco and only has 5100 employees compared to 86,000 employees at Cisco?

Hey it’s mdlz here let’s make all employees waste 1-2 hrs of there day for an order writing zoom then take a taste to become certified in order writing ! Let’s fail to mention that all the sales reps lives have been put on hold since June 21 on weather we have a job or not and have to wait alsmot two months to find out but let’s take a test and force us to join a zoom when the majority of us won’t even be here ! Why not just do this trash after Oct 2nd ! Again the company proves they don’t care about any of us ! Sad sad sad

Employees that were laid off in Nov 2025 were able to keep their employee discount on phone plans for 1 year. Why isn’t the same being offered to employees let go on 07/16?

and again... it is endless and relentless. why does anyone dedicate themselves to Intel when each quarter their necks are on the block. At this point, the entire company is really made up of contractors, not employees.

Comment here if you relocated and still have employment

Employees are doubled in places after the hilcorp thing. Why?

A little more detail on impact in Seattle,WA market; 54 employees https://www.seattletimes.com/business/verizon-to-lay-off-54-wa-employees/

Feel free to contribute. Just give a simple answer to the question. I'm trying to see if there's a trend.

For those of you laid of from ML, say whether or not you ended up in a better or worse employment situation afterwards.

No layoff only hiring….. ….next week more hiring

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.

There is hardly any activity on this site for other companies.
Looks like this site is popular with FIS employees.

Wondering why?

Is there any point going to office tomorrow or the entire week when they are going to layoff thousands of employees?
Motivation is down the drain..

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.

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

You're only a number on a spreadsheet.

Nothing more...

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

What's going on? When will the announcement happen?

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.

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?

Okay two questions. How many people have been laid off thus far? I feel like we’re all in the dark. Second, what happened to the Reddit page? Did people get found out or something? Just curious why we all never are on there and it only seems to be people asking for references.
