More layoffs are underway at Scripps, with the company revealing Tuesday it would eliminate 431 positions while adding 100 new jobs as part of an “enterprise-wide transformation.”

Even amid all the cuts, there are still hundreds of open positions. If you don't believe me, go and check. How does that make sense? We're supposedly getting rid of people to save money, while hiring more folks at the same time. Why not implement a hiring freeze instead of layoffs?

Is it normal for contractors to be pulled into panel interviews for FTE? Is it allowed?

Imperial guy here, lurker on this page - I see y'all are also miserable lol, but I think Imperial takes the crown by a long shot.

Anyways, I've been applying to Enbridge, without a reference since I don't know anyone, and so far I have been rejected on all 6 applications I did.

Is the only way in to know someone?

Here's something I genuinely don't understnd. We had two openings for testing and QA roles that required basic test automation skills. Nothing particularly complex. Anyone with a reasonable technical background could probably learn what we needed within a month, possibly faster with today's AI tools.

I'd imagine there are 100s, if not 1000s, of unemployed American workers with these skills who would have been interested. The compensation was excellent, and the work itself was fairly interesting.

Instead, we hired two H1B workers whose technical abilities have been questionable so far. Both also struggle with communication and interpersonal skills, which matters because the positions involve some customer interaction.

What I don't understand is why we didn't properly advertise these positions and give qualified domestic candidates a fair opportunity. Was there a genuine shortage of available talent, or was there some other incentive to hire through the H1B program?

I'm genuinely curious how these hiring decisions get made because, from where I'm sitting, none of this makes sense.

Anyone knows how much headcount they are adding? how much space are they adding?

I am currently interviewing for an Associate Inside Sales Rep role in EMEA and I would like to get some feedback on how the promotion path is, how the culture, salary, benefits, etc. are. Thank you very much!

Health insurer Humana has recently implemented layoffs. The company did not disclose the exact number of employees affected. Specific roles eliminated were also not detailed. However, some reports indicate copywriter positions were among those cut. This comes as the company continues to hire for other positions.

Why were so many loyal FactSetters cut yet there was an influx of posts of new hires for the same jobs that were cut

Experienced U.S. IT professional (10+ years) looking for advice on breaking through the hiring pipeline at USAA. 18 application 0 pick

Is this the new truth and trend on how Cisco is now run? Is this even legal?

No intelligence, but using AI Chat box to generate questions to ask during meetings and interviews. WOW!!! 🤩

I’m trying to understand the company’s policy and process for potential conflicts of interest in hiring. If a software lead hires their spouse onto the same team, is that allowed under our policies? Are there requirements for disclosure, independent hiring decisions, or safeguards to ensure the process is impartial?

I’m not looking to identify anyone or make assumptions about a particular hiring decision. I’d appreciate guidance on where employees can find the relevant policy and which appropriate channel can explain how these situations are handled.

I’d keep the post free of names, team details, or other information that could identify the people involved. Seeing both people still at work doesn’t by itself tell you what review or decision may have taken place.

Hiring for entry level positions in India vs Hiring for entry level positions in USA

It looks like they have posted a ton of HR jobs. The strategy appears to layoff everyone then have them all reapply.

Workday has a giant list of jobs that posted.
Rumors are no longer rumors once the reqs go up. Confirms all the LinkedIn posts many of us have been seeing in these departments last two days.

Any groups at intel are currently hiring? I am looking for software dev jobs.

Anyone know why there are now interns but they are contractors?

Think most of them have a title of “early career - x-x” and talking to them they are part of TEKSystems

Seems over engineered to hire interns but do it through a company.

E-commerce giant Amazon is planning to hire over 300,000 US workers for the upcoming holiday season. This significant hiring push contrasts with ongoing corporate job cuts within the company. The seasonal positions will span full-time, part-time, and temporary roles across the United States. This expansion aims to meet increased demand during the busiest retail period of the year. The company has not specified how many temporary hires might transition to permanent roles.

Let me tell you I miss the way the bank was 10 years ago. The hiring culture is so disgusting. If your boss doesn’t like you, you can never escape! The moment you post for a role your boss gets an email saying what role it is and links to the position (which includes the hiring manager’s name). If they don’t like you (personality clash) all they have to do is reach out and badmouth you. In the interview process the candidate gets an email stating the hiring manager may reach out to your current manager for “performance feedback.” So, you NEVER get a fresh start. One person who personally doesn’t like you can destroy your entire career!

Also, regarding performance ratings, I overheard a leader and their manager talking about how to tank someone’s “exceeds” scorecard metrics by dipping into “behaviors.” This is because it’s all one rating now that the “what” and “how” are one. Be prepared to get ROYALLY sc--wed over!!!! This and PIPs now mean they are in the final steps to GUT the most experienced people for a cheaper alternative. Now would be a great time to UNIONIZE!

Considering if Exxon divest its 30% share in Kearl which is nothing compared how much reserves EM has over the world.

Will the new company possibly Suncor or CNRL absorb the new hires? As imperial(70% of Kearl) has started hiring lately.

your views please

I sent out about twenty applications ten days ago, just to test out the waters. I got nothing in response. Literally, nothing but crickets. It’s been a while since I last applied for a job so is this how things work now? Not even a rejection response? Just silence?

Any recommendations for jobs those that already found one ? Like which companies are hiring ? At this point anything will do .

After this job any job sounds good including Walmart . lol

It will be funny and sarcastic to see how many more H1B indians is IBM Consulting able to bring in. There were about 1,200 already in 2024. Indian Sub CIOs just bringing indians like a swarm. Stupid decisions.

Lululemon has reduced its fabric development team by seven positions. This reorganization occurred in August as the company shifts capabilities closer to international vendors. The move aims to improve supply chain execution and prevent product flaws. These changes follow recent customer complaints about sheer leggings. The company is now hiring for similar roles in Taiwan and Vietnam.

What the hiring process and dr-g and background screening for new hire?

Why the sudden push to hire Talent Consultants (Recruiters) in Minneapolis, Charlotte, Dallas and Tempe?

Especially in D&AI hiring is a joke. I.e. process taking weeks and months and at the end you get no feedback from hiring manager. If you disagree then write your thoughts down here.

I worked there. I left to get away from their incompetence. It's so disheartening to see so many find their new home here.

I was laid off last year and after thousands of applications and plenty of final interviews I've had no luck in getting a job. Even grocery stores and fast food aren't hiring. Has hiring been happening at all in Bellevue or Atlanta for corporate roles?

Hello Groypers and Maga trolls, the below JD is taken from a VP job being advertised by Nasdaq. Notice the last line. I thought English was the spoken language in the US? Where's the outrage now? Where are the theories of Hispanic takeover of US jobs like the conspiracy theories and hate against Indians?

Strong executive presence with demonstrated ability to engage and influence C-suite stakeholders and build long-term partnerships.

AT&T should prioritize American workers instead of laying off experienced employees while continuing to rely on the H-1B visa program.

Why not return to the days when American companies invested heavily in American talent, provided proper training, and created long-term career opportunities?

If AT&T genuinely wants to improve productivity, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, it should start by investing in its domestic workforce rather than treating layoffs as the easiest way to reduce costs.

America has plenty of talented engineers, IT professionals, network specialists, and technology graduates who deserve opportunities to contribute.

Before laying off American employees, AT&T should demonstrate that it has exhausted opportunities to retain, retrain, and redeploy qualified domestic workers.

Put American workers first, invest in American talent, and let the results speak for themselves.

We all know that many job postings are fake. If you encounter one, please post the job ID, all relevant details, and proof. Publicly shaming these entities is exactly what they deserve.

Furthermore, some teams conduct 'namesake' interviews just to reject candidates they never intended to hire. Name them, shame them, and post details about who actually ends up getting hired.
Let's hold them accountable. Report all hiring fraud directly to the Department of Labor.

Former coworker who got let go due to a RIF applied for a position and got the interview with HR….then few weeks later got text to set up panel interview Day after that he noticed the same exact job was reposted (same job number and they were only hiring ONE position). So when he has the interview he brought this up about job being reposted…was told because there was someone else that wanted to apply so they had to repost….wtf How can they do that?? Sounds like whomever they reopened it for is who they want. I’m sure if he didn’t apply in time they wouldn’t have reopened it for him Thoughts? Have you seen this?

Is it true that the board will approve Charlie's request to rename Wells Fargo to ChaseFargo once Charlie has recruited his 100th executive from Chase? Just wondering?

Just like Adobe was banned today regarding the green card ban, Intuit should’ve also been on that list as well.

Look at the engineer org, pick any manager, look at the team he/she has. It’s not a coincidence, we hired around 8-10 ppl in the past 2-3 months. All were on visa.

Also I’m too afraid to report any of that to HR so spilling my guts here.

The government has suspended HCL, TCS, Adobe, Wipro, Microsoft, Infosys, Cognizant and Capgemini from the PERM program amid allegations of immigration-related abuses. Whether this leads to more domestic hiring or simply pushes companies toward more offshore staffing remains to be seen.
