AI will be replaced soon, but not by us

With token pricing increasing dramatically, AI solutions are going to be too expensive. We'll end up using real AI - another Indian.

Exactly this. CEOs are finally realizing that the moment AI stops being subsidized through subscription, its cost becomes way too high to justify. So they'll go back to the previous solution, which will be more outsourcing. Either way, we're the ones getting sc--wed.


Stock going into the 30s - FT drop

I think once everyone learns that FT, who is a large client, is dropping the contract and going with a different company the stock will fall even lower. Well into the 30s. How can you have confidence in the company if they constantly get dropped by clients?


Inside Baseball

So grateful for those who are sharing information about upcoming layoffs and potential dates, etc.. At the very least, it gives employees a chance to be prepared. Living with the unexpected has become normalized. Executive leadership does not care how this affects productivity and morale. With a stock price that closed at $40.88, you would think that they would lean in hard to any advantage, like, you know, talented staff whose favor had been curried by their support. Question: thought that TPO had been laid off, but for Bob. He sure must be busy these days.


Applying for jobs at competitors after being laid off

Hi,
Was laid off in the last round (why do I always type layed?).

The job market as many know isn’t great, even willing to relocate it’s still tough out there.

So in the spirit of considering all my options, what have people seen as “Nike actually paid attention and enforced” regarding going to work for competitors?

No I’m not a reporter or a troll or any of that nonsense, just a person trying to provide for their family and while the severance and savings gives me some time… I would sleep a lot better being back working and moving forward. Not one to “take a break” or sit around and hope for the best, not with the responsibility of a family.

Thank you


Cost of living adjustments labeled as "merit increases" that are really layoffs

As we go into the annual review process, HR is always quick to point out that the employee evaluations have no direct correlation to the amount that an employee might get as a "merit" increase. I have two issues with this:

  1. When increases come around every year, the vast majority of employees get a "merit" increases in the 1-3% range. This is essentially a cost of living adjustment. In fact that amount is usually less than inflation, so most of us are getting paid less every year (relatively speaking).

  2. If an employee is rated as "developing" they are ineligible for a "merit" increase. Managers are pressured to identify approx. 5-10% of their team who fall into the "developing" category. These employees don't even get a cost of living adjustment, which is, for all intents and purposes, a pay cut because of forced ranking of team members.

HR points out to managers that its ok to label someone as "developing" if they've been in the role for <1 year, so a lot of managers put their newer employees in that category. But based on your hire date, that might mean you may go 18+ months before getting any sort of cost of living adjustment. For managers without any new team members (which are most of them after all the WFRs), they can find themselves stuck tagging a few people who may get a rating they don't deserve and its corresponding pay-cut because of the stack ranking.

Because this has been brought up, HR says they're evaluating the policy on "developing" employees not being eligible for increases, but that opens a can of worms if they do.

More and more, it feels like yet another underhanded way of getting people to quit so the company can continue to fly under any government regulations for lay-offs that exceed a certain threshold number of affected workers. In this case, the idea is that you get lower performing people to leave, however, I'd argue that in some teams, there simply aren't people who are truly "developing" and thus get pushed out because of this manipulative process.

I sincerely hope that this is still just a holdover from the previous regime's culture that will be corrected by the new executive leadership team, but I'm not holding my breath.


DFS layoffs and Mid year reviews

I don’t think there will be additional “layoffs” like the ones Monday until later in the year. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Monday layoffs were probably part of the 81 cited in the WARN earlier this year.

What Capital One will probably look to do is leverage the mid-year stack reviews to cull more people from the herd. I don’t believe they need to file a WARN for those since it is technically based on “performance”.

My bet is once they’ve axed the mid year people they will begin to evaluate for the final round or two of integration layoffs.


It's starting again!
