Laid off

I was let go from my job at Meta, and I now have 60 days to find a new job or I will have to leave the UK.

This morning, I went into the office for what I thought was a normal one-on-one with my manager. I had even prepared a document to update her on all of my projects. She sat down, joined a call, and at first I thought she was about to present something. Then another woman appeared on the big monitor, and I realized this was that kind of meeting.

I was surprisingly calm, partly because my original manager had been laid off the month before, and there had already been rumors of layoffs at Meta.

After the meeting, I had to gather my things and leave the office right away. I turned in my equipment and my badge. My manager even asked whether I wanted to grab any snacks before I left. Of course, I did. Then I went back home.

I messaged people on LinkedIn and then jumped on a WhatsApp call to let them know what had happened.

I came to the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, and HR told me that my visa sponsorship through Meta is now canceled. I have a 60-day grace period to find another job.

So, welcome to my new series: trying to find a job within 60 days.

There you have it !

https://www.edhat.com/beyond-local/news/california-toy-giant-mattel-inc-to-lay-off-65-employees-at-headquarters/#
Toy giant Mattel, the maker of Barbie and Hot Wheels, is laying off employees from its El Segundo headquarters, according to a notice to state authorities.

The company is expected to permanently lay off 65 employees from its headquarters located at 333 Continental Blvd in El Segundo, Los Angeles County, according to its official WARN notice.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) Act, employers are legally mandated to provide a minimum of 60 days’ notice prior to plant closures, mass layoffs, or major relocations. The notice gives local agencies and staff time to prepare, according to WARN.

Mattel submitted the documentation on March 23, 2025, and it was processed the following day. The layoffs will be effective from May 22, 2026, the WARN filing showed.

This is the second time Mattel has laid off employees from its headquarters within a few months. In January 2026, the company laid off 89 employees, according to WARN filings.

Citing a Mattel spokesperson, a news report by Los Angeles Business Journal said that the layoffs in January were part of its effort to restructure its global brands team.

Most of the impacted employees held senior or executive positions, including significant roles on Barbie, action figures, and games teams, the report added.

In March 2025, Mattel laid off 120 workers from its headquarters, most of whom held positions like manager, director, and vice president, according to a Los Angeles Times report. The job losses were part of the cost-cutting effort as the company focused on maximizing its profits.

Citing Mattel spokesperson Catherine Frymark, the news report said that the company was targeting $200 million in cost savings by 2026.

Earlier layoff notices showed that Mattel reduced 439 employees from its El Segundo headquarters since 2020, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Silos

Pepsi has moved to an extreme silo model, more so than ever. I believe this is what is really taking its toll on employees. From the front line to the directors, there is evident frustration across all levels. Not only do you have the customer pressure, but our internal pressures create a lose lose environment. This is likely by design and don’t expect things to get better any time soon for employees of Pepsi.

Careful planning deprives employees of severance

That was a particularly sh---y thing to do. It would seem that there were many long term employees eligible. Someone did the math and decided to create a plan to avoid paying it. At the very least, the severance took some of the sting and created a cushion for departing employees. This was a vile trick to play on them. It would be worthwhile to let the Jacksonville paper of record know what they are doing. Someone should pick up the phone.

It's become quite clear Boeing has zero interest in improving employee morale or correcting the mistreatment of employees

Anytime Boeing employees post details on here about how they have been mistreated by their Boeing managers. The Posts never stay up long due to the fact that the Boeing company goes head over heels to have critical posts removed and swept under the rug, whenever someone shares a personal account of how they have been mistreated, intimidated and sometimes threatened by their Boeing managers.

The Ethics Code Boeing forces employees to sign is garbage because very few Boeing managers abide themselves to the ethic code.

Mav folks are going to be SPANKED in May when it fails

I feel sorry for all those who have been diligintly working hard on the MAV project for the last 2 years because, many of them could only do so much with as little as they were given..

Unfortunately, because the original "go live" date was pushed back to May, most of the "top dog" mav people are likely in hotwater already. Then when it 100% will half work when it's forced to go live in May, the blame will be placed on the engineers, architechs, and managers who were in charge of shhiitt..

People team openly sc-mmy

I sit near the “people team” at one of our locations and there’s a very loud male employee who openly talks about “lowballing” candidates and mocking them for asking questions about return to office. You’re all low life henchmen and women for this disgusting EC. You can’t handle simple requests yet you act like you’re the all knowing and all mighy.

Text cheating scandal

Has anyone else been contacted by a corporate auditor about everyone in the Permian cheating on the entry exam at XOM? I am still trying to understand the benefit of superintendent’s having hat contractors cheat on the test. If you want quality employees you would think you would want people that can pass the test without cheating.

"Houston We Have a Problem" XOM PIP Reallity

EM PIP in reality can be driven by statistics, internal politics, bias, or interpersonal conflicts not your performance. So many people end up on a PIP for reasons that have nothing to do with their actual work. Some examples I have seen in past years/teams:

  • He was put on a PIP after questioning unethical practices used by senior team members and suggesting better methods. They felt threatened and collectively turned against him.
  • She was sharp, social, and highly capable. Her manager recognized her potential and gave her additional responsibilities, which triggered jealousy among other women on the team who then ganged up on her.
  • He was new to the group, and instead of helping him integrate, they isolated him, refused to let him blend in, and targeted him for bottom ranking.
  • She consistently helped others develop, but instead of being recognized, her peers sabotaged her work because she was naïve and overly friendly.
    How PIP Practices Often Work in Reality:
    In many organizations, the outcome of a PIP is predetermined long before the process officially begins.
  • Some employees receive only a few formality emails and “pass” without any real process.
  • Some endure a three‑month ordeal that feels like a continuous interview, filled with pressure, bullying, and harassment—only to be told they “failed.”
  • Employees targeted for removal often face hostility, humiliation, and impossible expectations, and at the end they’re given vague statements like “We don’t think you’re a good fit.”
  • Some people have their PIP extended because of medical leave or mental‑health‑related disability leave, only to return and be failed anyway—or receive a letter saying their disability benefits are ending and they will be terminated if they cannot return...
    Bottom line if you are not PIPed soley for statistics choose PIL....Up to you

Verizon is dying

I just talked to TMobile about switching and they were less than what I am paying at Verizon even after the employee discount and they are giving away new phones and they have a 2 year upgrade pipeline. Verizon's network coverage seems to have gone to sh-t.

I don't think even Dan the Hatchet Man can save this sinking ship.

Should I buy real estate in Plano?

I am thinking of buying up real estate right next to the new HQ over the next few years and then renting them out. There will always be employees of all kinds: single, families, and interns who will need a place to stay. Seems like a strong investment. Buy real estate and rent out to other employees.

A Tough Day

I would like to say this is it but I am afraid today was the first of a rough year. Great employees were told today they are no longer needed while others who don’t appear to contribute anything were spared. When the great employees are gone and their mediocre peers remain I see a bleak future for the rest of us.

Is there any employee rules that state Boeing employees that have company provided laptops must be logged on during work hours?

I can’t find any specific Boeing rules stating that. I’m asking because I have not logged on my computer during my shift for months now except for about five minutes before my shift ends to input my work hours. Our manager has been out for months on LOA for family reasons. If HR contacts me, I’m really not sure how they can due to my not reading or responding to any emails sent to me. If HR gets lucky getting a hold of me, I’m going to tell them there is no specific employee rules stating that I must be logged in my computer during my work hours. The Code of Conduct we are required to sign does not specifically state employees with company provided computers must be logged in throughout their working shift. So I believe I’m safe and not going to worry about it.

Charging employees for parking moving forward

Guess what, emails were out that employees who want to park at the office will start paying for parking, shortly after downgrading cubicle equipment to docks and monitors 10 years old.. that while Charlie gets his $40Million. Cheap tactics, did we hit the bottom of the barrel… well they will always find lower spots!

Facts I find interesting.
We didnt have a CEO between March 28th and Oct 21st that yr.
Yet Net Income
Q1 $5.86B
Q2 $6.21B
Q3 $4.61B incl a 1.6B litigation so really $6.2B

We didnt even have a CEO. Q1 Tim Sloan even handed everyone in the company 30 shares, gave extra %sfor 401k matching over the yrs. Today Charlie has laid off 80k people, offices state side look like india... and he has worse financial numbers. Look at the pathetic number of shares he gave folks, you have to be here till mid 2028 as well. The problem with Chalie is he thinks Win/Lose, not Win/Win, and that's no way to operate a business, cheating employees to make numbers is the route to failure.
