Lay People Off. Burn Them Out. Call It Transformation.

After repeated layoffs, burnout, and a media leadership culture that seems to treat people as disposable, dropping a 20+ year media agency partner without a pitch feels completely on brand. It’s the same management philosophy applied at scale: destroy institutional knowledge, call it transformation, and assume a shiny new operating model will compensate for the human damage left behind. Then send an internal email written by AI, announcing the new media partner - an email so cringe that reads like ChatGPT huffed a whiteboard full of “synergy” and “growth driver” and vomited out a LinkedIn thought-leadership post wearing a suit


Is anyone willing to file a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Claim Regarding the Discriminatory Firings?

An EEOC charge is a formal complaint filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging that an employer discriminated against you in violation of federal employment-discrimination law.

If you believe that you were laid off because of your race or national origin:

You file a charge with the EEOC describing what happened.

The EEOC can notify the employer and investigate.

The EEOC may request documents, interview people, and evaluate evidence.

The EEOC can potentially pursue the matter itself, particularly if it sees evidence of broader/systemic discrimination.

Eventually, the EEOC may issue a Notice of Right to Sue, which generally allows you to pursue the matter in federal court.

Importantly, you don't need a smoking-g-n statement like “we fired him because he's American.” The EEOC can consider patterns, statistics, comparator employees, hiring/termination records, and other circumstantial evidence.

Why this matters
Suppose 30 Black, White, Spanish, Chinese, etc. employees are laid off over several years, and many are replaced by Indians who subsequently hire predominantly Indian employees.

An individual employee might file an EEOC charge saying, essentially:
“I believe I was selected for termination because of my race/national origin. I also believe my termination was part of a broader practice in which similarly situated American employees are being replaced by Indian employees.”

The EEOC could potentially investigate the broader pattern, rather than simply asking whether that one employee was treated improperly.

That's one reason an EEOC charge can be significant even if a severance agreement contains a release. A severance agreement generally cannot prevent someone from filing a charge with the EEOC or participating in an EEOC investigation.

However, you generally can't wait indefinitely. For most private-sector Title VII discrimination claims, the deadline is 180 days, extended to 300 days in many circumstances where a state or local fair-employment agency also has jurisdiction.

So if someone was recently laid off, I'd speak with an employment attorney promptly rather than waiting to see how the company's hiring pattern develops.


Scared.

Laid off in March from the bank, and I still can’t find work. Funny thing is I see them rehiring for a position I had but I’m not in a hub market. I was less expensive than people they kept on board, so why the he-l lay me off? I was a good worker. Now I’m afraid I’m about to lose everything. To the snakes who put this in motion for me and for so many others, remember the pain you cause others always comes back to you. Evil. This company and its management are pure evil.


Not encouraging bad behavior but…

I’m incredibly glad I trusted my gut and took screenshots of my personnel file and relevant emails while working from home—before I received my 60-day displacement notice. Working at a non-core site, I knew this day was coming.

After having time to process my layoff, my lawyer believes I preserved potentially crucial evidence that disappears from Workday immediately after you receive the 60-day notice, even though you can still technically access Workday.

You also lose access to Outlook within about an hour of receiving the layoff notification.

Yes, you can print your personnel file in the office, but there is a record of what you print (and will probably raise suspicion). And the company firewall prevents you from emailing files—even your own personnel file—to your personal email address.

I’m NOT suggesting anyone violate policy, access something they shouldn’t, or take confidential company information.

I’m saying this: if you’re still employed and you have legitimate access to your own employment records, understand what you’re allowed to preserve before your access changes.

Because once that window closes, you may not get the same opportunity again.

I’m very glad I listened to my gut.


10% of staff to be laid off

Uber Technologies will lay off ​about 3,300 employees, or 10% of staff, in its largest cuts since the COVID-19 pandemic, to better navigate the ‌rise of robotaxis encroaching on its ride-hailing business.

I'm being pushed out

I can't say I'm being laid off, but I'm definitely being pushed out. The workload is impossible and the support is nonexistent so the stress is suffocating. They're not showing me the door but they're making me want to walk through it myself. And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way.


Tone deaf TA strikes again

Nothing says “we’re thriving!” quite like opening LinkedIn to a fresh Talent Acquisition post by senior leadership celebrating how amazing L3Harris is.................…while people are being laid off.

Apparently, the corporate strategy is:

Step 1: Lay people off
Step 2: Post on LinkedIn about how incredible the culture is and how you love your recruiters
Step 3: Have mediocre mid-level leadership congratulate themselves for successfully navigating “challenging times"
Step 4: Repeat until morale is completely fictional

Talent Acquisition, please, keep posting those beautifully polished “We’re hiring!” graphics and hosting hiring events. Nothing reassures the workforce quite like watching the company recruit externally while simultaneously eliminating positions internally.

Excited for Plano HQ

AT&T’s future headquarters is being built in Plano, and the message is obvious because companies do not move leadership, investment, talent, and major decision making into one place just to preserve the importance of everyone who chooses to remain somewhere else.

Plano is becoming the place where ambitious people go, where relationships with leadership are built, where important conversations happen, and where the next generation of influence inside AT&T takes shape.

People who choose not to move can keep telling themselves that location does not matter, but eventually they may find themselves hearing about decisions after they were made, watching opportunities go to people closer to the action, and wondering why their old office no longer carries the weight it once did.

Companies move forward with the people willing to move forward with them, and I have no interest in protecting yesterday’s comfort while someone else is positioning themselves for tomorrow’s opportunities.

I am excited for Plano HQ because that is where AT&T is building its future, and I intend to be there while everyone who chooses to stay behind finds out exactly what being left behind feels like. You either find yourself in Plano or on the chopping block.


Concerned Parent and Prominent Member of the Community

I just very recently found out that you laid off our daughter for some kind of fake intelligence software?!

Do you know how much it cost us to send her to school for that train and how hard she worked to get her degree.

She has worked for your organization for over a decade and now you throw her away like a piece of trash?!

What in the world is going on over at this company?!
