Capital Management Employees are vastly overpaid $$$ compared to almost every other division in the company+

out of the 35+ people, almost all are EVPs, SVPs, or VPs+Raking in $250K-$400K per year or much more+All the extra employee comp & bonus money is being funneled over to Capital Management+They get quarterly bonuses unlike other employees in the company+That is not fair+Their jobs are easy with them relying on AI computer stock picks as they mimic those recommendations along with the analysts+It's time to rein in this area+Company could save $10M w/o Capital Management+Company would make more $$$ by having better performing outside funds with lower expense ratios but tacking on additional fees to drive revenue++too much bloat w/ Capital Management++Hardly anyone is investing in their institutional funds outside of retirement plans & they have spent a ton to get on various platforms+Assets are down over $1B YOY which is 7% of portfolio+Meanwhile, there are no layoffs & employees of that division keep getting new titles and big big salaries and raises.

this year, the vast majority of the funds are near the bottom of their peer rankings & only three funds are in the top 50%. So, 3 funds out of 28--off to a very rocky start in 2026--looks like it will be a down yr+time to cut salaries, perks, & jobs in that division+lots of favoritism going on there--------

Lipper awards were excellent but company couldn't find a way to get news out & more plans & money keeps leaving. WTF is going on ?

It’s worth asking why Dell dominates layoff forums: the highest volume of posts, the most active threads, and some of the most negative employee sentiment on the internet.

This just dropped and I have gifted this article (behind a paywall) to you. It’s on which E and P companies are expected to have layoffs in 2026 based on current domestic and international environment. Great read cause a certain OKC based company is mentioned so click here

I'm the lead in this area and for the past month, we have had people visit in the hopes of getting repair work. The LTF is empty and we have no work. It was discovered that the repair work is being set up in a different area. My mother in-law got hire for this department. And she was told she was being assigned to a newly set up repair department. This week I talked to a parent of an employee in my area. And he said that the repairs are going to be done in an area near field camp. And that there is talk of dissolving FE/RDXT.

When will the layoffs start?

Have GC and PC been laid off yet?

The layoffs and reorganizations are a distraction and targeted to ki-l the old SAP business streams and make way for the future - Palantir becoming the most important service provider in Europe with the help of SAP.

CK recently sent an email to everyone explaining why AI is the top priority and all 5 OKRs on the SAP leadership level have AI in them. What he failed to mention that SAP is diverting their internal resources away from the core businesses such as ERP to focus on the immediate demand from Plantir and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Palantir is already an SAP partner.
https://www.sap.com/partners/find/palantir.html

However, there was never a time when SAP doubled down its entire engineering effort to satisfy one single partner. I won't share each of the 5 OKRs publicly. But if you look into each OKR and their overlap with the requests from Palantir, you will be surprised. The entirety of Sovreign cloud features are to support the U.S. Department of Defense and its supplier base.

Joule is synonymous with the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform where SAP just builds features that Palantir needs. Like AIP, Joule is supposed to focus on a relatively user friendly GUI for AI agents with a focus on low code / no code. It is to be given access to all customer data and also private SAP employee data. Even the interface of Joule mirrors AIP and it has the action-driven logic and automation in the code structure.

In internal emails, CK asked for focus on some critical industries for Joule. It is the same list that Palantir advertises on their AIP website.
https://www.palantir.com/platforms/aip/

In 2026 Q1 several employees in the top management will 'quit' because of the change in direction for the 2026 strategy. Signavio Process Mining is actually developing features that can be sued by Palantir's Foundry Process Mining & Automation platform.

I understand why a company would shift focus on AI features. But I don't understand why SAP is changing their entire strategy to accommodate for everything asked by a single SAP partner - Palantir. Seamless connectivity between Palantir and SAP Business Data Cloud was the first step. And now the executive board's decision is that the development in 2026 and 2027 will effectively ensure interoperability between Joule and AIP and allow for effective bidirectional data access.

Palantir is unable to get adequate access to European government, industry and civilian data and they plan to get this access through SAP. For this, Palantir is working on HyperAuto, which serves as the dedicated integration bridge connecting SAP’s core systems into Palantir Foundry and AIP.

You know which company worked closely with Palantir before SAP? Airbus. Palantir literally powers Airbus's digital twins via Skywise, currently used by more than half of Airbus Commercial employees giving Palantir full access to their design, manufacturing, and predictive maintenance. It came into fruition around the same time Dominic Asam moved from Airbus to SAP.

This Skyview system is what accelerated layoffs across Airbus just as Joule is supposed to accelerate layoffs across SAP. Performance management and HPOM and lower salary and benefits budgets will keep SAP employees too distracted and busy and scared to speak up.

This is a major concern for SAP shareholders because they did not vote for SAP to become a puppet for an American intelligence company. This is a major concern for SAP employees because they are supposed to work on the exact technology that will be used to fire them. This is a major concern for SAP customers because they are getting really bad AI slop in SAP products which is counterproductive for their use cases and they are asked to pay more to fund the development for Palantir. This is also a major concern for European governments because the U.S. Department of Defense found an effective way to infiltrate and cripple Europe's data sovereignty. The SAP executive board has been downplaying the significance of this cooperation

All of this because CK, the former Airbus CFO and other executive board members are making money from SAP executive bonuses and have their future set up when they leave SAP. .

Expect major layoffs this year. All the areas going through "transformation" like cfo, ops, and brand are planning to offshore roles or replace with AI. ETX was the test case before rollout to other areas.

They have reduction in US headcount as a goal for each area. Search deep enough on Sharepoint & OneDrive and the details can be found.

Heard through the grapevine that some California layoffs have already started this week, first week of January 2026. Also lots of demotions.
With the state of the economy, people are now having to choose between having food on the table, pay their mortgage or buying health care, and nobody wants to hear about solar.
And because of all of this, those of us who have been with the company for years are being penalized because sales are down.
We can’t help it that customers choose to cancel appointments, or even if they do sit they are not ready to sign the installation agreement.
It’s giving me, personally, such anxiety attacks that if I lose this job after being with this company for over seven years, I won’t be able to afford my health care. I have been looking for other jobs but nothing has panned out.
The pay has been as low as it’s been with only the hourly and I have to juggle my bills.
This is unsustainable.
We the regular employees are suffering while the execs will get great “going away” packages and we are left with nothing.

If one gets let go next week as part of layoffs, does person still get 401k match from 2025?

B1b program has been terminated and sold . 50 to 60 people received termination notices today. Termination will be April 9th all terminated. 4-8 program for air force
Will not be able to be done by company that purchased the program very complex program. They sold everything to the walls. Air Force will not happy but Harris don’t care.
Clifton facilities will be next we were told by Clifton rep. B52 program may be sold and outsourced. Harris does not want to deal with legacy older programs .or repair older programs. There corporate focus has changed. All commercial programs will be sold off.
We all know our approximate 2.0 percent raises show us how they they feel about there
Talent. It did not cover the medical and benefit increase. You lost money.
A union may be a solution

Its that time folks. Start looking!! Leaving the Harris chapter in 2025 was essential to a much better life , financially, emotionally and physically. Grab a new role elsewhere before it gets flooded with applicants. Advice for L3 Harris DEI hires, there are Aerospace companies on Long Island that don’t accommodate DEI ( currently employed at one). Only qualified applicants win the role. Mana Mana😂

You don’t make up for that loss overnight. I remember when it was considered a bad idea to throw money into that region but Citi “saw an opportunity” and it turned out to be a 1.2 billion $ mistake.

Gotta chop the heads to make up for the loss. Here comes the blood bath. Good luck everyone.

Kroger closing 60 stores
Is Hy-Vee next?

The leadership at AT&T is non existent. The fact they would announce building a new corporate campus than will likely cost upwards of $2 Billion while continuing to layoff hardworking, valuable employees is disgraceful. I’m sure this new campus will have all the wonderful features and amenities to highlights its lavish lifestyle existence while the peasant who are so graciously allowed to keep their jobs work in spaces that are old and filthy. Dirty bathrooms, paint peeling off walls, dirty carpets etc.

Stankey and the board are complicit in the corruption and incompetence.

They had to know the stock price would go down. Cutting the workforce does nothing to improve customer service and will make it harder to address customer issues. Cutting the design team by 40% does nothing to improve the network and network performance will degrade over time. What is the actual plan, Dan? Line your pockets and split?

So as a 6 year employee, I'd receive 12 weeks? Just making sure I keep all my ducks in a row for layoffs.

IBM is & always has been about laying the unprotected class off. White men 55 & older. Then white women (= ageism + s-xism). Black men (= ageism+ racism) Black women (= ageism, s-xism, racism). So what did/does IBM do to accomplish this so methodically? They bring in incompetent black women to lay off (throw away like trash) white men to really slap employees in the face. THEN they remove your entire life from your personnel file when you ask for it. It’s like a Wormwood episode. You get your sign- on paperwork & your last “bad” appraisal (to justify their laying you off) written by the DEI hire who suddenly leaves w/a promotion after you’re RA’d. Every award, best appraisal, letters of merit & commendation magically disappear. Where did they go? IBM he-l.

African Americans at IBM can do whatever they want. An ex black co-worker of mine, who still holds her job at 62yo, said to me “if they ever try & lay me off, I’ll sue for racism & s-xism on top of age discrimination.” She never came into the office or customer site when everyone was told to do so back in 2009 -2015. She stayed at home taking care of her mother, her boys, making random Zoom appearances when necessary. She travelled w/IBM all over Europe & India. She took time off constantly (her FB & IG accounts looked like she was retired). And last year when her boss left & a white man got the job, she retained an atty, filed a letter w/the EEOC claiming racism bc she didn't get the job. She was never there but wanted a job she knew nothing about & was totally unqualified to do. What did IBM do w/just the mere threat of a lawsuit? They promoted her & gave her a 13% increase in salary. It literally PAYS to be part of a protected class.

IBM, the business world implores you, release the demographics of your layoffs from the 1970-2025. And Congratulations Arvind Krishna for your recent 23% increase in 2025 pay to $25M. Meanwhile stellar, high performing employees you & Ginni Rometty laid off (Dinobabies & a dated maternal workforce as Ginni called them) are working the graveyard shift at supermarkets, so they can feed their families & put their kids through college. Sc--w you both. Thomas Watson is spinning in his grave. One can only hope grand karma kicks in one day.

There is growing sentiment among employees that GK needs to go. He’s done too much damage. If it happens would it stem the tide of layoffs?

Reports suggested up to 22,000 roles could be at risk at Microsoft this month, but the company's chief communications officer shot down those rumors as false.

It's just good old offshore galore. Not much pretending anymore.

I mean, I'm being sarcastic. But not really. And these are coming after considerable reductions. I was hoping, naively, that we might get some respite. Foolish.

The Douglas County School District is preparing to review a series of high stakes financial decisions at its upcoming special board meeting later today.

Among the key discussion items are proposed school consolidation scenarios, potential layoffs of classified employees, and a possible declaration of a Severe Financial Emergency under Nevada law.

Heard there will be a lot of laying off on the 6th of February from my source.

For those laid off in October, does anyone know when Target will send instructions for cobra and life insurance? Wouldn’t anll benefits expire this weekend?

Startled to learn the JSMF has named Penny Pennington to its board of directors. She is being added to “tap into her knowledge to help give more opportunities to underserved communities in St. Louis.” This is the same woman who has laid off St. Louisans who make her millions and sends their jobs to India. Penny is creating underserved people with less opportunities in St. Louis. I cannot believe the JSMF has named her to their board. The JSMF used to be a great organization which fostered American values for Americans, not sending resources out of the country. I will no longer be contributing to the JSMF as I am severely disappointed.

We're already handling too much work, and now we're to lose more people next week? Are you kidding me? What's wrong with people running this place? Can we get them to do our jobs just for a week, just so they can see how bad things already are? We can't afford for it to get even worse.

Some peers notified about layoffs in ATL sales team. Did you notice anything in your local office?

Everyone seems to be talking about major layoffs in January—around a 20% headcount cut before Q4 ends. Really hoping it’s not true. Any insights?

Can anyone breakdown the timeline for severance payment?

I was a retail “specialist” who got laid off literally two weeks after starting. I’ve been getting random a-s checks of varying amounts for the last 2 weeks . I have no idea what any of them mean and why I’m not getting a lump sum yet.

Verizon ruined my holiday season. The least they can do is make sure my rent is paid next month.

Starting in Q2 they are laying off half of the product org in OptumInsight and moving the jobs to India.

Anyone heard about any upcoming oriskany layoffs? Thought everyone was supposed to be gone last year.

The TA leadership is pathetic. They cut recruiters and support but save all managers and are left with a group an individuals who can’t lead, make decisions or train a team. They are great at things that do not matter like monthly or holiday meeting that do little for morale it usually pi---s people off.

Let’s look at these managers, one saved manager, manages BRGs. The BRGs did just fine with no manager. Salary $130k

The conductor manager - runs conductor recruiting. You just laid off the whole conductor recruiting team, but kept her.

The mechanic and engineering manager, we don’t and haven’t hired one of those roles in months. Also tech and Corporate- also, not a single hire in months. In addition she’s always on FMLA.

The top TA managers were kept even though they haven’t made a solid decision or anything productive in years.

These layoffs weee driven by friendships instead of production and once again CSX has proven to be burden in Jacksonville instead of a community partner that cares about its place in the city.

Stay away from this place

Anyone know the extent of today's layoffs?

Here is what I’ve heard more than once. If anyone knows differently please call it out / correct me-
