Oracle spent on Tiktok, Oracle spending on Datacenter. Though this might facilitate Oracle in long run,
its going to definitely affect a lot in the short term.

The two way street
All you hear is “there’s a storm a comin”, whatever. What most managers don’t realize or don’t care to realize is that for now things are slanted one way…..for now.
There is a storm coming, yeah, I get it, layoffs.
After the dust settles, there’s another story to tell coming from the employees. Things will be slanted the other way.

Bonus for laid off employees
Should laid off employees expect a 100% bonus payout on 2/27 if they were terminated due job elimination with no mention of performance? I assume most who were laid off in January never had a performance review with their leader…. Severance docs only mention pro rated bonus for 2026 and is unclear about how bonus for 2025 will be paid out

They no longer breadkdown by domestic/international, age ranges, ethnicity, or anything else. Interestingly, they claimed 43% of the workforce is represented by collective bargaining which is unchanged from last year's, and still higher than previous years' 42%.
Qualcomm Climate Survey Transparency
The climate survey should be handled by an independent third party, with results shared transparently with employees. Currently, employees are pushed to participate, and there is no clear breakdown of results or visibility into improvement actions. In all-hands meetings, the data is presented positively, which does not reflect the actual work environment.
Prior Year Bonus Payment?
Does anyone know if prior year bonuses are paid-out if an employee resigns before the pay date in the current year? Obviously I cannot ask our HRBP because they’ll know about my departure before I’m ready to give notice.
This is specifically about a US-based employee.
While we are it, does anyone know if the quarterly bonuses due to revenue generating plans are paid-out if the employee leaves before the paycheck arrives?
Thanks!

Now or later
Are they going to start the next round of layoffs before or after the new CEO starts? It was pretty easy to read between the lines during the employee webcast today.
Wealth
Sudden wealth is coming for many. It will allow many to walk out of the door without warning. It will cause Chaos in corporate America and the shift back to employee leverage will begin.
CIP question
Dear colleagues, can you confirm whether employees must remain employed until after May 7 in order to be eligible for CIP?"

Clinicians…how do you reconcile working here?
Physicians, social workers, counselors, nurses….how do you do it? I’m not talking about finance, IT, or those departments. Just the member interacting employees. You can perform whatever mental gymnastics you want to make you sleep better at night, but you’re really just gatekeeping healthcare on behalf of a company who’s primary responsibility is to maximize financial gain for its shareholders. Doesn’t seem quite in the spirit of the Hippocratic Oath the Nightingale Pledge. It definitely wasn’t for me.
Noticed a layoff this week
I saw a data steward layed off via a linked in post. Does anyone have more details about what else may have been cut this week?
I got the call
After 14 years as a TSR my team is being let go……
When will the US Cellular Slugs be Terminated?
Last August, T-Mobile made the mistake of retaining a good portion of the US Cellular workforce, especially the field technicians who have zero technical skills, are overpaid, constantly complain, and make comparisons to “the way they did it at US Cellular,” even though it is inconsequential. There are markets that are over indexed due to this additional “workforce” and it is likely that good T-Mobile employees will be terminated with the slugs remaining here in the near future. If the leadership had any bit of intelligence, they would dump those US Cellular slugs now and try to get back to the way the company was operating prior to both the Sprint and US Cellular disasters that are destroying the company

lululemon let go of 100 part-time workers who helped answer customer questions by phone, email, and chat.
These workers helped people every day, but the company decided it wants to use only full-time workers for this job instead.
Lululemon says this change will help them do a better job helping customers and make the business run more smoothly.
This is happening while the company is also looking for a new boss and dealing with some disagreements with its founder.
no store closures, just changes to how customer help is done.

Your growth powers our future email
Interesting choice of photos for the HR email. Five employees shown in four separate photos. All very diverse. So proud to be a part of such a diverse company that is so focused on DEI!
Easy question

All employees fleeing from NM Beverly Hills
Everyone is leaving Neiman’s Beverly Hills, most going to boutiques on rodeo, in century city, at the Beverly center, or on Robertson.
You are not a tree, you can make decisions and influence your life (RTO or no RTO)
To all the people on here complaining about RTO—you are wasting precious time and energy. Don’t waste your efforts whining on here to a group of people who, to be honest, 90 percent don’t give a damn about your problems and the other 10 percent is glad you got you got ‘em. Don't live with the dogma of other people's thinking. You decide what your limits are, or if you have any limits at all.
My cousin’s company issued an RTO mandate a while back. Do you think he took to an internet message board to complain and seek pity? Nope. Not a chance.
He mocked up a concept for a small mechanism for his desk. I think it was a printed circuit board with a slot for his work access badge, connected to a small remote radio unit (it was a cheap RRU from the web) and some kind of signal repeater with a diffuser which made the system think he was on site 24/7.
When they asked him about it, he played d-mb. Then instead of complaining, again he went and improved it with an integrated I/O switch, a battery backup unit with uninterrupted power supply (BBU/UPS), and a linear encoder so the signal output run time was limited to a max of ~65 hours weekly. He tweaked the battery size and a few other design features so that he only has to go into the office once a month for routine maintenance.
My point is sometimes it is better to tap into your creative side than it is to moan and whine on the internet. With the time and effort some of you guys have invested complaining and ruminating here, you could have had 2 or 3 prototypes assembled and tested.
Update: They made him a partner/principal at the firm about 2 years later.
More HR employees - GONE
Wow. Well I just found out TWO people in HR, extremely vital employees in Benefits and HRSC RESIGNED in December. Resigned because NOTHING CHANGED and they just couldn’t stay to watch this place crumble any longer. Did the HR leaders send out an email to Human Resources to inform them? NOPE. Do they have a game plan? Doubtful because no one cares anymore. I am shocked. I found out THIS WEEK and they have both been gone for weeks already. How awful that no one got to say goodbye to these valuable team members. I am so sorry for them. I am so sorry for everyone in HR that is still dealing with the turmoil of 2025. There has to be change immediately before we lose the last few still standing.

Call routing
If the company doesn’t change call routing they will go under, slowly and devastating to employees and customers. Morale is at an all time low across the board. Kareem needs to go. If you know you know. Kareem is the most worthless manager of all time
2025 YTD Return of negative 1.84% while the market is positive 17% - Good Job Everyone !
It look a lot of Leadership, apathetic employees, meetings, PowerPoints, bad ideas and ineffective and incapable management to accomplish this ! # PEPPROUD
Last Paycheck
Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.
4 Rounds of New Year Layoffs and Its not even 2026 Yet!
OMFG, it’s not even 2026 yet and there were already 4 rounds of layoffs announced. According to the WARN Tracker website, West Des Moines is laying off another 65 (1/2,1/23 and 2/6). Sacramento is laying off another 114 employees on 2/6. While it’s great to have a paycheck, this place is toxic AF and not worth the fear this place is filling my soul with. WF used to be such a fun and great place to work.
White-collar Slackers, Snowflakes and chronic Whiners currently employed by Ford most likely will be let go during the month of February
Ford Leadership warns The Ford Motor Company is at risk of continued existence and is rapidly moving the Company forward for survival. Leadership announced every Ford employee must report to their assigned office five days a week starting in the second week of January, no acceptations will be approved. Leadership has identified 25,000 Slackers who were recently warned by email that they are at a threat of being issued Performance Improvement Plans during the second week of January. The odds are 9 out of 10 of these 25,000 Slackers will flunk their Performance Improvement Plans or refuse to even accept them and will be summary fired and unemployment benefits will be denied.
The goofing off from home days, while on the Ford clock are officially over.
Hybrid changes
Read the results of the survey 44,000 employees took and in the section that comments about the hybrid schedule makes it sound like there may be some adjustments to it, even though they are committed.
RIFed Employees New Jobs
Have any of the other laid off employees been struggling to find work? I've had to start an Onlyf-ns. It isn't going great, but it is helping me buy food. If any other RIF employees also had to do this to survive let me know and maybe we could collab.
