LinkedIn is telling

So many Cengage openings being posted, and so many people posting their farewells. Cengage is looking bleak. ET freaking out about salesforce and the lack of pipeline. NK still thinks things are steady and stable and is in disbelief- that’s what you get for firing everyone who are not yes people and are living in reality telling you that reality.


Year End 2026 Self Evaluations and Performance Management begins in October 2026

It's here again. Within weeks the stack rankings for year end 2026 begins. Never sign a PIP let them fire you. But the wicked things is the firings will only lead to a computer outage and/or an OCC MRA or Consent Order because there's no left to keep the Capone from crashing. Wishing all the worst things for Capone management.


It could be worse

My wife, who worked remotely for another telecom, woke up a few months ago to find all her access revoked before she even saw the termination email. She got no warning, and they certainly didn't bother with a conversation. Just an early morning cold email and silence. Even Verizon isn't that much of an a--hole.


PIP - thoughts? How hard is it to beat it?

I’ve been on pip - does anyone know how it works? Is it basically 30 days, then you meet with HR and if your manager doesn’t take you off pip, you do another 30 days with a HR person and then after that you’re fired?

  1. No severance if you’re fired after pip?
  2. If you don’t beat pip after 30 days, what are the chances you beat it in day 31-60?
  3. Is the goal to get off PIP just try to deliver as many deliverables as possible?

Any thoughts would help here


Lawyers out

I don’t usually feel sorry for lawyers, but the latest fun at this place is now an inexplicable reshuffling of lawyers. But not really reshuffling—firing good lawyers for no reason instead of giving them a shot at the new job titles they’re totally qualified for. Hire new people! Put people first! Be super-stupid! Nice work, Solvsrs.


Fire ServiceFund Directors & Associate Directors

Humana should take a close look at the middle level leaders in ServiceFund.

They really need a changeover. I bet you will see that they have had multiple HR4U complaints by their staff.

I imagine firing them will even help with Humana’s public relations image.


New hires don't stand a chance

I can't tell you how many fresh college grads I've watched join Nike and flame out within three months. They're hired to do a job that was invented by someone with years of experience, given next to no training, and then thrown into the fire with sky-high expectations. The result is always the same. I really feel bad for them. And I wonder if anyone in charge has realized yet that firing experienced people and replacing them with rookies might not have been the genius move they thought it was.


Hiring and Firing Practices

All Internal hiring/firing immigration fraud must be well documented. Please be a whistleblower to report the fraudsters.
Also, report the unethical layoffs of American employees and any illegal offshoring practices.

Document LCA Violations: Take clear photographs of mandatory Labor Condition Application (LCA) postings as physical evidence. Federal law requires these to be conspicuously displayed on corporate notice boards, break room bulletin boards, or directly inside manager and contractor rooms.

USCIS Fraud Detection: Submit explicit details of visa manipulation directly via the USCIS Tip Form at uscis.govDepartment of Labor:

File a formal workforce exploitation complaint with the DOL Wage and Hour Division at dol.gov

Civil Rights Violations: Report the displacement of citizen employees, racial bias, or caste discrimination to the DHS Civil Rights Complaint Portal at dhs.gov

EEOC Enforcement: Trigger a formal federal investigation into national origin, race, or caste-based discrimination via the EEOC Public Portal at eeoc.gov


Mass Call Center Firings

Supposedly, Fidelity is all of a sudden firing a lot of call center workers for call/job avoidance at numerous sites. This was announced last week and is now being communicated to phone reps. The memo states that Fidelity can deem pretty much whatever they want as call/job avoidance, such as system restarts (which you often have to do because of the non-stop tech issues at this company).

If an employee is not legitimately doing their job, sure, they deserve to be fired. But... what a big coincidence that this is happening at scale for the first time, as far as I've ever heard, right before fulltime RTO and during their other quiet layoff methods such as cutting bonuses, benefits, etc. If they fire a lot of reps, then it won't count as a layoff.

The quiet layoffs will continue until morale improves.


They want me to quit

They can't lay me off without severance, so they're making me want to quit instead. That's the only conclusion I can make after my workload got cut to nothing, my meetings disappeared, and my manager stopped including me in planning. I guess they're hoping I'll eventually crack and submit my resignation. Or they'll try to fire me. Whatever it is, I'm definitely not going to do them any favors and walk away on my own. They have no idea how stubborn I can get.


SRP is a joke

New name . Same horrible neglected products. The once proud data protection division is a shell of what it was and is mostly made up of the hangers on being replaced with the ngsa graduates who don't know any better and just want to get out to the field to them half your pay is the dream job and a massive raise. Many of the leaders are protected . Bainenl should go sniffing around there lots of dead wood and useless dead weight that if you fired the Monday hardly anyone one notice. Sad but true.


The General concensus

Like others here most would like to keep their jobs, to not have to start all over again. Nobody wished for layoffs, firings, etc. There were many times since the layoffs started that I would pray for that Golden Tuesday after payday. One would post about here and hear the smug response, I'd like to keep my job. Well wouldn't any person working just to survive. Now like others around me, the staged mid years are going on and we're getting not meets. Not meets we're told means NO severance. Like they're saying, chase the new carrot. Improve by year end or get fired, no severance for you. The kicker is they've changed the formula used for evals, where you're going to be not meets no matter what you do. They've hired 1,000's of new hires. I guess they've filled the quotas of cheap labor in the Philippines. The new hire class should be hitting the floor we're told in Roanoke, VA in the near future. Seems like that's when the closing Richmond site, will start the firings and the layoffs. As for me, since the cushy keeping the job is not an option...I am praying for a Tuesday after payday displacement. I'm envious of those fortunate to have been laid off with the golden ticket and 60 day non-working period. In retrospect, what good did it do to stay waiting for severance?! They've made it a no win situation. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The firings will continue, and they're saying sc--w your morale...they just want you to F off.


Hey managers, firing people to make the oligarchy richer is wrong. Don't be an enabler of the decimation of the middle class.

Lie your a-s off about why you can't be working Thursday:
Your throat is raw, you lost your voice, you are sick.
Someone close to you died.
Dropped your phone and lost all of your contact numbers.
Etc..

Terrible things have been done throughout history by "regular" people at the direction of those "above" them. Don't be one of those people. Stand up, find another job, whatever you need to do to keep some modicum of self respect and respect for your fellow human.


"Layoffs" are not true layoffs at SF

Just a heads-up... firings are commencing at a rapid rate in certain areas. If you have many years with the company and the expectations lately have shifted until they feel like heavy proverbial noose...wiggle out of there quick! You will get no warning. Just bam. Random day, random hour...they'll come for you.... and you are left with NOTHING. Just so relieved my Mom finally saw the light and already changed companies for her own coverages. She herself a retiree with many years of service at SF. People mean LESS THAN NOTHING to SF anymore.
Not that sad to be heading out to make my life better now; I am prepared to make changes and succeed despite that company trying to make me feel more useless every day. When I succeed wildly-and I WILL!- I will have them in mind....only in the most negative way possible.
