Layoffs are a joke

I worked here for 29 years and had some medical issues and went on disability to try and get seizures under control. When I ended up being out for a year they fired me. I didn’t get any packaged and was just told thanks for your work.

This place was a joke to work for. I was always rated a 1 or 2 for yearly reviews and of course no money to get a raise. I went 7 years no raise and tried to take overtime away.


Binned off today?

Honestly so sick of this. Working all hours, smashing it every time, and no one even notices. Get glowing "coaching" reviews and then I'm still sat here waiting to get binned off for no reason. Living day by day, hour by hour, waiting for the axe to fall. Proper done in


Ryan Clark shown the door

ESPN has dropped NFL analyst Ryan Clark as part of expected layoffs, according to Andrew Marchand of The Athletic. Per Marchand, Clark was informed of his firing while he was taping “NFL Live” Monday and did not stay on for the remainder of the show. According to Richard Deitsch of Sports Business Journal, ESPN had planned to inform Clark about being laid off on Tuesday, but let him know ahead of time to avoid having him find out through the media.

You won't land a better-paying job

Don't listen to fairytales about people who left and found some magical, higher-paying, perfect job. Yes, it can happen, but it happens to very few people. The overwhelming majority will have to face a hostile job market where employers lowball salaries and ghost candidates left and right. Don't fall for it.


The opposite of a hipo, favorite. The targeted and hated.

Ever since I joined this circus of a company 15 or so years ago I have been treated badly. From day one I had haters ploting and talking bad about me. One if the engineers told me wow you really are helpfull and nice. I asked why he said that and was told someone told him I was bad news. Every thing I did was questioned and challenged. I had to fight hard to improve things and inovate. I fought back and was labled a trouble maker. I was piped in my ninth year and I believe it was for pointing out mistakes the group was making. I barley passed the pip and was warned not to make any more waves if I knew what was good for me. I bit my tounge for the past few years and managed to stay afloat. I was offered a move that was supposed to advance my caerer and I had no choice. I was moved into a more dysfunctional competitive group that was pure he-l. No one helped, conversated or interacted with me. It was very cut throat and evil. I dropped to ni last year and to nsi pip this year. I was told bluntly by the supervisor there was no way for me to pass the pip and I should take the pil or retire. I told the sup I wanted to try the pip and they reluctatly started it. The pip was impossible with changing metrics and objectives. I have till early december to complete the pip. I will retire and leave this he-l hole before then. I found out that I was moved in oreder to get rid of me. My former supervisor conspired with my new group to set me up to fail. It was all planned from the beginning. Exxon is an evil corporation and the employees are the worst types of humans. I barely made it to retirement and my enemies did not want me to make it. My 15 years at exxon have been the worst experience of my life. Itv was even worse than my divorce and battle with cancer. At least my lawyer and doctors were on my side. Exxon has been nothing but misery to me from the start to the end. My payout is a measly 310k from the pension because of the intrest rate. I hate exxon with all my heart and soul.


Currently on weekly check ins

manager has been giving me weekly performance check ins and says i haven't been improving.

Do you know what happens next? I am guessing bad rating at year end and then getting corrective action warnings and fired early next year? is it possible to be fired sooner than next year or be fired without corrective action warning?

I messed up big time

I tried playing hardball with my manager last month and it didn't go the way I'd hoped. I walked in ready to threaten leaving if they wouldn't bump my pay, but I didn't actually have another offer lined up. My manager basically called my bluff on the spot, told me if I wasn't happy I knew where the door was, and now things between us are awkward as he-l.

What are my chances of being outright fired over this?


Fired or Written Up for Attendance RTO?

Class action. Make sure that the punishments are applied evenly. Intel can't look the other way for critical PhD designers while writing up or firing others. If the punishments are selective, there is a potential for class. Also make sure approvals are based on the fairness.


Careful - fired x2 for RTO Non Compliance

Two employees outright fired today for non-compliance with the RTO policy. Company was well prepared with legal and HR. They had been warned twice, and apparently on their calls HR had a lot of data around badge swiping, interviews w office snitches, log in detail. Zero severance. Looks like then you get two warnings.

Be aware.


IBM Faces Age Discrimination Lawsuit

Three long-term IBM employees allege they were fired to make way for younger hires, citing a "smoking-g-n" Slack message as evidence. The complaint details internal documents that allegedly labeled older workers with derogatory terms and outlined plans to hire a majority of "Early Professionals" and "Campus Hires." This lawsuit claims IBM has a pattern of age-based workforce reductions, referencing past investigations and internal language used to target senior staff. The workers are seeking back pay, lost benefits, and reinstatement or front pay. These allegations have not yet been proven in court.

If below meets in year end review what is the next step

Hi. I got below meet in mid term review and for no reason. Manager is having monthly one on one and bringing all kind of nonsense to show am not working enough even though it's otherwise. So i can see in year end he woll give below meets. What happens next...do they lay me off in January or February..no severance? No bonus? Or they can kick me out before jan too?


Call Center REPS firing

Normally, you do not see this in the Call center environment because of the natural turnover people eventually quit but this week they fired a bunch of people, including a supervisor. We were once great company when we were DST. It’s now a sh-t business that doesn’t care about it’s people


Predictions from mid-July revisited

this person was pretty much spot on:

https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kxe5swhw

Q2 sales will lack both plan and the latest exec forecasts. Substantially. SVP of sales and several Director / Sr. Directors in sales will finally be fired in August. Not for missing the target, but for missing their own forecasts now several quarters in a row.

Q2 sales didn't not meet forecasts or plan. SVP of sales fired.

ARR in the current quarter will shrink vs end of previous quarter (for the first time). That will be the catalyst for the bigger changes:

That did happen (almost). Didn't quite shrinnk, but was flat within Q2 and YTD

CEO still believes that "product is fine, everything else is the problem". He'll be fired, too. Timing just depends on interim and long-term succession plan. Nobody will miss him as he's been over-promising on outside investment / recapitalization / acquisition and under-delivering.

That happened today.


54 years old and second PIP

There is an engineer in my group who was less than a year away from reaching retiree status who was put on a PIP. She was put on a pip five years ago as well so is now fired. Fired months from being able to receive retiree benefits after more than 30 years at Exxon. Now she is fired and no longer eligible for the retiree benefits. Are others seeing this as well?
