#exit

Whoever can secure a job elsewhere in the next year probably ought to do so before we have an accident or two so egregious all CVX employees become untouchable.

After more than ten years here, I honestly can’t wait for the door to hit me on the way out. It’s just a two-year engagement, nothing fancy, but I welcome the change. I completely lost perspective at XOM, got su-ked into the “Exxon way” until my career flatlined. I stopped growing years ago, stopped learning anything useful. If you’re as fed up as I was, do yourself a favor: make a change if you can. The feeling of walking away from this place is worth more than money.

I returned my badge and all my equipment. Not sure what else the hold up would be.

I know some people lurk here who have left HCSC. If you put in 2 weeks notice, do they usually just let you go?

This morning we were told that the company and the unions will begin negotiations shortly. allowing those who want to leave the company on a voluntary basis to receive at least a good exit package

Pay me to leave. Go ahead. I dare you. I’ll dance out of here happily. If this was the old Synopsys I knew and loved a decade ago, maybe I’d be upset. Maybe I'd stress over it. But walking away from what’s become an unrecognizable toxic dump? I won’t feel bad about that.

When I left Medtronic it felt like I’d crawled out of a pit. Took me months to feel like myself again after all the toxicity. It drained everything from me, energy, confidence, and health. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Chairman Paul Bulcke will step down early and hand over to former Inditex chief Pablo Isla on October 1, accelerating a changing of the guard at the Swiss food giant after an unprecedented period of managerial turmoil.

I believe exit dates are two months in USA, and a month in Canada from notification date of August 14. Could someone confirm please, along with the package details? Are packages similar across the geographical area? How does it work in EMEA?

Are people able to find new jobs, hearing it’s a tough market out for anyone looking for a job. Next layoffs are around the corner in Feb 2026, so hang tight.

Happy that you get the big lump sum of money and given the opportunity to look for better pastures? Or you prefer to continue stay with the company and hope for the best?

Leaving this company was the best decision I’ve made in years. If you’re smart and want your life back, start planning your exit. We all deserve workplaces where our time, effort, and wellbeing actually matter, not just a revolving door of chaos and stress. Don’t wait until it’s too late to make the move.

And some Med Advantage markets.

I gutted mine for all it was worth. Get your moneys worth.

Pump, dump, and peace out.

A few years ago I up and left Aramco due to personal reasons. I didn’t go through that formal process of leaving. I had to get out quick (home situation).

I’ve just been approached by a recruiter who I guess has not joined the dots. Is there any route back to Aramco after absconding? My life situation is different now and as it happens I am looking for a new role.

(No need to question why I would consider this.).

Thanks.

Dr Brailer is leaving and no public announcement that I kind find. When he joined it was all over the news. Is it a secret? HUM…????

I was let go, and hardly made profit of 250k, everyone I know made millions already from stock profit, wish I could invest more in stocks. All the best to everyone. Wish cod make million and can easily retired. But that's life, can't complain much. It was indeed best time of my life. Xoxo.

Unfortunately I had some personal files on my laptop that are now lost as my system got switched off right away. I had copied over to a drive but since it was connected to the laptop when it shut down, the drive got encrypted as well.
Anyone knows if Oracle will be kind enough to give me a chance to recover my data? This su-ks more than being laid off honestly.

Where did the people go that left adidas as part of the 500 job cuts ? ON? NEW Balance ?

All exit conversations have happened.

Many people have an option to exit or get demoted, and those people were given 48 hours to choose. Thus more exits may happen, but initiated by conversations that happened on Tuesday.
OP: @ah+1k48nnf8v

Sounds like he was asked to leave or given incentive to go.

Left the company 6 months ago due to RTO and a $10k base cut was the cherry on top. Received all exit paperwork, Cobra, Fidelity as expected.

This month I received a love letter from HR claiming in June they identified a mistake they made allegedly overpaying me. The letter sent includes instructions to send them just under $2000 lol. Zero explanation or supporting documentation with pay stubs or commission statements. WTF 😂

The email states termination date is “potentially” October 23. Does that include the redeployment period meaning if you choose not to participate your termination date could be September 23?

I was let go this week. How long I have to sign the severance agreement?

Anyone else filling like they should have taken the package. On the verge of just putting my two weeks in. Management sc--wed up big time on this reorg and no transition made the stand up of the new org a damn mess. End of the day leadership will not take accountability but will continue to get fat bonuses. Almost so horrible all you can do is laugh at this point.

Where can I check?

Recent laid off employee here.

Laid off based out of Charlotte. Been here for 14 years. I am non working till October 2025. Haven’t signed the severance yet as my mental health tanked after the news. How much my severance will be? Any other advice on how to deal with severance and other pointers regarding layoffs will be helpful.

I was laid off, and I don’t have regrets. I’d been bracing for this, the anxiety had been building for a while, so in some ways, it feels like a relief. I’m also grateful it gave me the push I needed to start looking elsewhere. I stayed at Oracle too long, became complacent, and lost sight of other possibilities. Staying in one place for too long isn’t great for self-confidence or professional growth, especially with how companies have been operating over the past decade. The job market is tough, but here’s hoping I prove I’m tougher.

Good luck to the rest of you, and don’t let yourself fall under the psychological pressure the corporate environment, and especially layoffs, can create. There are always other options, and other opportunities to prove to yourself that you’re good at what you do.

Everyone is choosing 11/21 as their exit dates with some being Q12026! Chances are 9/26 WILL BE the exit date for the majority 90% of the folks, as Q3 ends and they start Q4 clean and less overhead.

October and November 21 dates are a pipe dream.

What are you all hearing /experiencing?

It requires not disputing it but gives no way to verify what it is. Is there a way we can check or do should I just wait to sign till after I receive it?

After my manager finished reading the HR script, he said to me, “Good luck", and I replied, “Good luck to you too". I truly meant it. I know many of you, like me, have wanted to leave this toxic place but haven’t, for various reasons. I sincerely wish the very best for all of you who are still at Cisco.

I recently heard a rumor (not officially confirmed) that Dell Technologies may be planning a phased withdrawal from the Chinese market, with a complete exit by Q3 2027. Below is the timeline I heard:

2025 Q4 – End of Production
Closure of Xiamen & Chengdu factories

2026 Q1 – Sales Reduction
Halt consumer PC sales, end new enterprise contracts

2026 Q3 – R&D Relocation
Shanghai R&D center moves to Singapore

2027 Q3 – Complete Exit
Deregister legal entities, keep compliance only

With all the changes taking place at OpenText, when do you think there will be a layoff or exits of non performing sales reps.

Whats the story on why the VZB mod enterprise segment leader left Jan 3rd..not part of the VSP or pre planned layoff.
