Lol what is happening

Welp. Was checking my email and just got the news.

Whoever predicted that things have been a little too quiet recently was right on the money.

It's a shame, I've worked with many developers and testers from the region and have been helped countless times by them. For me this comes as a huge shock and honestly makes me pretty sad..

Hoping everyone will get along fine over there.. but damn

Check out the URL (Legal / Ligitation)

Hmmm wonder what thats all about?

Hard not to notice — it feels like most of the layoffs are hitting women. Or is that just me?

Roche’s Genentech unit is laying off staff at its Bay Area headquarters for at least the third time this year, saying goodbye to 118 employees in a workforce reduction that spans multiple departments.

https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/genentech-says-goodbye-118-employees-third-hq-layoff-round-year

I heard they will target higher ups, level 6 and above. Can anyone confirm?

We’re talking betrayal. We’re talking families packing up U-Hauls in the dead of night. And yeah, we’re calling it out: Chevron’s big-money grab on PDC Energy back in ‘23? It straight-up gutted our oil and gas workforce here in Colorado. Let’s unpack why this merger turned our bo-m into a bust.

Remember when Chevron swooped in with that $7.6 billion all-stock deal for PDC? They painted it as some powerhouse combo – “largest producer in Colorado,” 1,000+ drilling permits, free cash flow for days.  Sounded like job heaven, right? PDC was us – Denver-based, boots-on-the-ground in the DJ Basin, keeping rigs humming and paychecks steady. But fast-forward to 2025, and Chevron’s playing a different game. Global cuts? Up to 20% of their workforce gone by ‘26, slashing $3 billion in costs.  Here in the Mile High? 125 souls from their Denver office shown the door starting July 1st.  That’s not just numbers – that’s roughnecks, geologists, admins who coached Little League and bought rounds at the Water Course.
But wait, it gets uglier. Brownfield sites? The ones PDC was reworking like pros? Work’s nearly halted. Companies that sunk cash into upgrades for Chevron’s “efficiencies”? They’re idling equipment, laying off crews, folding tents.  And the rigs? Man, the DJ-Niobrara rig count cratered to just 5 by May – lowest since the pandemic slump.  Chevron’s not immune; whispers from the patch say they’re down to a skeleton crew – one rig spinning where PDC had multiples turning ’round the clock. Drilling deferred, completions paused. Why? Centralized hubs over local know-how. Sell off $2 billion in pipelines to some faceless buyer, ship decisions to Houston. Efficiency, they call it. Devastation, we call it!

Our communities – Greeley, Windsor, the whole Front Range – built on this black gold. Schools funded, diners packed, youth football thriving. Now? Ghost towns in the making. Chevron’s “stronger future” pitch?  It’s stronger for their shareholders, weaker for us.

Look, I ain’t anti-big oil – he-l, this industry’s in my blood. But when a merger like Chevron-PDC promises growth and delivers ghost rigs? We have to speak up!

Now they are moving in ksi and pushing out what’s left of the family owned local companies. Chevron will be using fortress, 1888/4x and KSI so good luck to all you contractors here soon you will be replaced and chevron does not care one bit they will just weed you out and make you want to leave!

LET ME REPEAT CHEVRON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER NOTHING MORE OR LESS.

The San Francisco-based bank has cut almost a fourth of its workforce from a peak five years ago, and the bank is still shedding staff.

No point moving to Charlotte or NYC if they ask you to move. Instead take a package/severance and bail out because you may move and then let go in 6 months. No loyalty left or value for talent. It is all about cutting cost as promised to the board by Charlie and getting his Bonus before bailing out of Wells.

When is the next layoff for ATT?

The "Ask your supervisor" guy/gal - please don't response.

Support the BNY PAC ?? Anyone see Robin's message?
for what? To fund politicians who don't care about rule of law??

freaking ridiculous.
While we get replaced by AI??
30,000 corporate Amazon employees will be flooding the job market because of AI. Good luck competing with those people.

We're all going to need UBI soon, if not food stamps.

These corporations seem to have no idea how to address any of their issues other than to lay people off. They do it to please the shareholders, however everyone else is stressed out. They wonder why employees have no loyalty to their company anymore? It's because corporations don't care about them. Shop local, buy local. Buy as much as possible from small businesses in your community. That money stays in your community and doesn't line a shareholders pocket. Sc--w them. Take your power back. Between robotics and AI, nobody is going to have jobs in a few years unless it's serving at the feet of the rich.

Merchant Solutions grew 5% for the quarter, with small business organic revenue growth at 6% and Clover revenue up 26%. SaaS penetration in Clover reached 26%.

• Gutted the clover like anything still performing better than actual $FI.

Clover keeping alive FI if not for clover, This stock would plunge to be a penny stock.

Wondering about the NC merger of Carolina Complete Health and WellCare scheduled for Q12026. Any news of layoffs yet? I’m at CCH and we are already closing all open roles or just not filling them. Everyone is even more overworked than before.

Please please chime in and share some info here. When is the next big RIF that we will bombarded with while the mafia Frankenstein and his minion gang will savor an expensive drink over the rocks in their mansions watching associates and their families getting devastated already struggling to put food on the table !!! Shame on Frank B. and his fcky minions - you all shall be imprisoned. Karma will chase you down , wait and watch.

So the bottom has finally fallen out, huh?! The smoke has dissipated and the mirrors shattered. The Bisignano scam has been exposed. Now shareholders are left to hold the bag?l. All those ppl whose compensation was tied to stock shares. Sc--wed. Meanwhile, Bisignano has cashed out and is off probably finding ways to ruin social security at the behest of his sc-mb@g boss.

What will it take to get this clown and his minions imprisoned? What lessons can we learn from this? One thing that I've learned is I won't be accepting any compensation that's tied to stock. Give me my cash and I'll invest it on the market as I see fit.

Prepare for more layoffs while fck boi Frank with his seared conscience enjoys the money he stole from us.

This is disgraceful.

Today, October 29, 2025, Xavier announced firings from departments that uphold the mission of the school. From the Office of Social Justice to CAMPUS MINISTRY, people were let go due to budget cuts, yet racist, mean spirited professors are still here. How can you claim to prepare students to mold a more just and humane society when you're firing the people who help to form students into these leaders. We deserve better.

A post from the Amazon Layoff page:

“Let this serve as a stark reminder: capitalism, as it exists today, tethered to public markets that demand perpetual growth, is deeply flawed.

Amazon, like any publicly traded company, must show quarter over quarter gains. One of the easiest ways to do that? Cut costs.

Is the company bloated? Probably. But let’s be clear, no corporation truly cares about you. Public companies will always prioritize perceived growth over employee well being.

That’s the nature of the system.

As AI continues to advance, it will inevitably replace jobs across industries. This pursuit of efficiency will remain the top priority for companies until the underlying incentives change.”

I feel like this is so accurate.

Anyone know more details?

Nothing says USAA cares like handing out 60 day notices to a little over 200 people, just days before the holiday season begins.
The 60 days ends right after Christmas (12/28).

And of course our dear bank President Mike Mo--n, makes things even worse by saying big changes are coming early in Q1, so now the remaining bank employees can stress about if they’ll have a job heading into next year.

That’s how it’s always been - the notices go out the day of the layoffs.

Just had a random meeting which said they terminated random positions. Did not even bother to tell us what the impact is or how to prepare.

This company wants to fail and just get bought out. Customers are leaving in droves and brain strain is causing it to be broken and hacked. This butcher of a CEO is crazy.

If you have, please share what the package looks like, if that’s okay with you.

A point I never see get made is how frustrating it is to deal with an even worse job market just because you worked hard. Yes, I might survive the next rif, or maybe the next two, but three rifs from now there will be so many unemployed white collar workers that it would put us in a worse spot. Sc--wed if you are riffed now and even more sc--wed if you are riffed later, really demotivating stuff.

I'll complile the list and send it to the admins, they will push it on Twitter and journalists will pick it up as they follow the admins on Twitter.

Today's meeting was vague but about layoffs coming before Christmas. No clue on areas affected or size.
