Likelihood of VSP

Things have been quiet but we know budgets are still tight and headwinds are only increasing. Something is definitely brewing. How likely is it that they offer a VSP to push out more expensive employees? I recall a post here from a few months back that mentioned this being a possibility. Any new thoughts?


If the bosses read this forum, they'd panic

The execs should really take a look at all the posts on here. Half of us are talking about how much we hate it and are looking for other jobs. When your entire workforce is trying to escape, that's a pretty big sign you're doing something wrong.


Current composition of WF workforce and what to look froward to…

I’m trying to figure out how currently WF workforce is split. In December total employees count was about 216000. In January it is already 210000. I wonder what is a percentage US vs India &Co?

The other question is what’s the ration (pay wise). US vs India? It used to be 1:4 but I believe that offshore pays went up.

Final question, now that 2025 numbers were communicated to masses, how many resignations there will be after pay on 2/13 ( true ones not the ones from keyboard warriors)?

A slow motion decline

There was a time when people were proud to work at Ford and leadership valued the team. That sense of shared purpose has completely vanished. Good employees are exiting constantly, replaced by a culture of fear and spreadsheets. They've lost sight of the fact that the workforce is the company's real asset. The loyalty they once earned has been spent.


Layoffs at corporate

If you see me quiet at work i am not anti social... i am merely mourning the original cast?!

Guys have you ever been in a workplace where all the original coworkers have left and you are the only one who remembers season one like a walking histroy???
now it feels like season four with new charactors and wierd energy and everyone asks questions you learned in colege years ago??
inside jokes are gone group chats vanished and the one co worker who made it tolerable was written off and i definately felt it!!
So you stand there smiling while new hires are enthuastic and say they love it here even though it was better before the reboot!!!

you keep doing the job you know where everything is how things really work and no one asked for that so you just watch them learn the hard way and never recieve credit...
it feels odd to be the last extra who survived too many seasons here for the paychek and thier stories..

If you see me quiet at work i am not anti social i am mourning the original cast?!
.... season one was elite and season four is just showing up for the check.


6 Months of New Org

6 months into this new org and people still don’t know who is doing what. Continue pushing jobs to engine and watching it fall apart. Leadership silent on the disfunction of it all. I sure hope the current administration f*cake chevron hard on tax and penalties for all the outsourcing. Seeing employees leave for Exxon is wild. Use to be the other way around.

Transformation steps

Goal: Decrease operating cost by reducing high salary people and not paying for hourly worker benefits as there are many store employees.

  1. Take away store employee holidays so the full timers quit. Huge savings on the benefits. Then only hire part timers to replace.

  2. Close OPO to make as many people quit as possible. So far under 100 but soon it will be up to 200. Could even go up to 300 within 3 months of OPO closer.

  3. Few months after closing OPO, Move head quarter to a cheaper area and cash 400 million for 4 buildings. Expect people who live nearby to quit. People moved to Chicago for a job and bought a home nearby to have balanced life style. Lot of people who work at a head quarter will quit if office moves far away. Near the farms where it is cheaper land or in middle by staples office on I355.

Leftover downtowners will quit if they are not by commuter train.

Total people who quit will be around 1000 at the end without any layoff or severance package. This guys know what they are doing.


More layoffs in March and more executive board bonuses

If there are indeed layoffs, they will only be for employees who joined in the acquisitions or employees on mid range salaries. Developers, QA, support engineers and product managers will be fired but never HRBP or development managers with complaints against them. There are many employees who continue to be very highly paid and keep getting a higher salary and more stock options every year. That's because they get it once in March and their network triggers a reorganisation in the middle of the year where they get promoted or have a role change. In all my years at SAP, I have seen this happen all the time and this is only intensifying since the talk about layoffs. So even if there are any layoffs, expensive employees who should be laid off will still be there and those that deserve or do more will be asked to leave or be given such a pitiful salary increment and bad performance that they will have to leave. Also, you can expect only employees from Walldorf and St Leon-Rot to head all important positions in the new acquisitions and in other locations. No matter where most of the team members are, the managers will almost always be based in Walldorf and St Leon-Rot now. And once the back to office shenanigans start they will give a bad performance to any report who isn't based in their location.

Regarding executive bonuses, the executive board will get them. They have the supervisory board in their pocket and the Works Council is too powerless to revolt or strike or do anything about it. CK got €18 million as a bonus in addition to his salary when he vowed to fire 10000 employees. And if the supervisory board wanted to keep him in check, they would have given that as stock options and not in cash. But they gave him cash. He and most of the executive board members will live comfortable lives even if they have to resign or leave now. But they will squeeze every million out of SAP before they go. A lower share price only means that they will intensify layoffs. And the entire SAP strategy is based on AI and a complete shift from the core business. If AI fails, SAP will lose everything. But the board is too incompetent to come up with any real strategy or an alternative plan in case AI is a bubble. There is no real SAP strategy besides 'build only AI features and make customers pay more' and 'lay off as many employees as possible to reduce short term operating costs'. That is sufficient for them to squeeze money off SAP and leave. Most employees don't realize that the money that is given to the executive board comes from the savings by laying employees off and from reducing their benefits and salary appraisals budget. It is like blood money. But CK, Dominik Asam and others have so many fans within SAP, they will do anything for them. The future is truly lost now and there is no hope.


Corel CEO Christa Quarles 2025 Layoff Results

2025 was a harsh and bitter year of layoffs and departures from Corel. Most notably the Vice President & Principal Architect of Parallels left after rearchitecting Parallels for success. The worst part is Christa takes credit for the success of the product line without mentioning his name. Also Senior Vice President of Product and Engineering and the Vice President Of Engineering decided they'd rather not report Christa Quarles CEO at Parallels & Corel due to poor decisions affecting revenue and layoffs of software engineers.

Layoffs and firings are spread across the Canada, US and Mauritius. Directors and managers were made to layoff their entire teams, then they themselves were laid-off. Specifically the Product teams have been hit very hard. Staff turn-over in Mauritius is very high amongst those who are native to the country.

Christa Quarles an American business executive, she has shown zero expert knowledge as a CEO who knows how to manage a company. Christa lead the change of the Corel brand to Alludo in 2022. As of December 2025, Alludo is gone as the brand name, Corel has been returned to keep the focus on Corel branded products. Millions of dollars wasted. No announcements provided as to why

There are two chief of staffs and one executive assistant. Yet the product team have have been decimated by layoffs as has the marketing team.

Christa Quarles CEO of Corel has run out of friends to hire. There are continued complaints from customers of shady business practices associated with the quiet subscription model campaign. Now we wait in 2026 for the next layoffs.

Employee Fall-out from Strategy Charade

There are more employees across clinical and business operations leaving, most recently there has been many exits from HR.

One of the common themes during exit interviews is the lack of trust due to the the $30 million settlement award against Integris due to the cyber incident in Q4 of 2023.

Our Information Security department was turned into a paper factory due to the bad hire of VP CISO Stacy Stika. Stacy Stika has been given absolute decision-power over technical defenses, yet she have never built a system, cannot read code, and fundamentally does not understand how attacks work. What she does understand is spending time investing in media attention grabs such as submitting her own nomination backed by her friends to the Becker's Hospital Review. Becker's should have verified Stacy Stika could walk through, in technical detail, how she would contain a ransomware attack that bypassed endpoint protection AND was has no negligent breaches linked to her name.

Stacy's leadership has done the following since her arrival:

  • Increased stress of clinicians due to mixed messages of security
  • Institutionalized Dishonesty
  • Taken the focus from care of those most vulnerable

We are tired of of the security glitches slowing us down. We have provided feedback however the people we provided this feedback to are no longer with the company. The Deputy CISO who fixed the problems from the 2023 hack left. We have frustrated clinicians who are the backbone of Integris leaving.

This is how 'layoffs' work here, leadership is restructuring healthcare services which is causing clinical staff turnover with no backfill. Also people are fired after the Glint my voice survey which claims anonymous feedback. If one is not fired for honest employee survey reviews then retaliation begins until the target quits. Worst of all, hiring in IT has more than tripled.


What are they thinking?

After so many rounds of cuts, good people leaving on their own, and a hiring freeze for ages, who is even left to lay off? The teams are already skeletal, and morale is nonexistent, to put it mildly. The next logical step shouldn't be just more layoffs, but questioning if the company can even function with the people who remain.

CONFIRMED: January 2026 Layoffs

Moderate layoffs will be coming in January. These are mostly intended as a layoff for low or moderate performers across marketing, product and engineering, not as a broad layoff due to business conditions.

There are no specific target numbers identified — it is primarily low performers, unmotivated people and those who are not on board with the company mission.


People are running from Fido no matter the pay cut

Lately I keep seeing coworkers walk out for jobs that pay noticeably less (I guess this job market only allows for that), and that says everything about where things stand. The nonstop tension around layoffs has pushed people to a point where any exit feels better than staying. No one even talks about matching their old salaries anymore. The environment has gotten so heavy that most of us just want out before the next wave hits.
