#locationconsolidation

There was talk about closing offices with less than 100 employees in EMEA. Did it happen in any country yet?

Pretty sure Antonio did not retire, lol. Any other news? Will they consolidate FL and Bev R&D further?

If you look up the distribution, some have say 40,000 personnel, some have like only 400. Why not reduce footprint? - move these to capital cities etc

Daimler Truck North America has closed its Swan Island manufacturing plant, ending decades of truck assembly in Portland. Approximately 387 Oregon workers have lost their positions as production shifts to North Carolina and South Carolina. The company cited a need to consolidate its manufacturing network and align operations with future business requirements. While commercial truck assembly is moving, Daimler's North American headquarters and engineering operations will remain in Portland. The closure marks the end of 57 years of operation at the Swan Island factory.

Clean out your lockers.
Clean off your desks for a “clean desk” policy.
Turn in your badge next?

It seems like the Chicago office could be the next to close. Move everything to NY and TX.

Company announced employees must relocate or accept a severance in Engineering . Tricky this time as they only give you an electronic summary that you can NOT download. Employees have just 2 weeks to decide on severance. However, Charter will not release full severance details until employees decide to take the severance. Very shady. Employees are given weeks pay for every year of service which is capped at 39 weeks which equals 13 years. Long tenured employees getting sc--wed under the cap of 39 weeks (equals 9 months). Sr. Managers and down have same severance structure...weird. What's even weirder is employees have to accept severance before they will know their end dates.

NIC Global Manufacturing Solutions will cease operations at its Woodinville facility. This closure will result in the termination of 103 employees. Production will be consolidated into existing plants in Spokane and Tennessee. Layoffs will occur in stages, beginning in January 2027 and concluding by August 2028. The company stated that no work is being outsourced.

Are OH offices closing? Are they moving more people into Mason? Anything on the Columbus office?

Unless you’re a math nerd or EVP unless you sit in Minnesota, Charlotte, Arizona or Ohio you’re not welcome in her organization if you sit in any other hub. Said it on her ask me anything call today. I’m guessing this affects hundreds if not thousands.

They are moving to one hub

Wonder Group Inc. is relocating some operations to a new South Jersey facility, resulting in layoffs for over 500 North Jersey staff. The company is consolidating its production and distribution sites in Cranford and Fairfield. These layoffs are part of a strategic move to a larger facility in Swedesboro, aimed at long-term supply chain growth. While some employees may be offered roles at the new location, many will receive severance and outplacement services. The corporate site in Parsippany will remain operational.

Amazon is reportedly ending its lease on an 81,000-square-foot office in South Lake Union. This move is part of the company's ongoing reduction of its physical office space. The tech giant's Seattle workforce has decreased since the pandemic. Amazon has also conducted significant layoffs in recent years. The company is reevaluating its office needs and shifting employees to other locations.

Honestly, I’m pi---d.

Today we found out our CEC is closing. A lot of us have spent YEARS here. We knew something was coming, hiring slowed down, positions stopped being backfilled, and our headcount kept dropping. But hearing that we’re actually closing still hits different.

Now we’re being moved into another CEC.

And that means our teams get combined, opportunities get smaller, and there are fewer admin, CM and Sr. Manager roles for us to move into.

Then you look at the store closures and the push toward “digital first.”

So much for Frontline First.

We’re constantly told not to worry and that every change is just “consolidation.”

But we’re the ones watching our teams get smaller and our options disappear.

Maybe this really is just one CEC.

But if you’re sitting in another CEC thinking this has nothing to do with you…

I’d be paying attention.

Because when they need fewer buildings, they need fewer people to fill them.

And I really hope I’m wrong about what comes next.

Overheard a call last Friday between some high-level Cards managers and one of them said that the Meridian, ID CSC near Boise was probably not going to renew their lease when it comes due in 2027, moving all of those roles who work there to Sioux Falls, SD. I know they closed Roy, UT last year but they let everyone become WFH, not relocated or terminated. Anyone with better intel? I have a good friend who is a c14 there and he knows nothing about any plans to leave.

If you are not in Plano already you are toast. The direction from leadership couldn’t be more clear. The important jobs will be here at our new headquarters. Other locations will be phased out in short order. The city of Plano has even provided us incentives to hit certain headcount targets at the new headquarters.

This is 100% happening. Put your house up for sell if you are in Lake Mary. Leadership knows that what’s been happening in Lake Mary has helped lead to Verizon’s downfall.

Just heard through the grapevine Fiserv is consolidating Data Centers and closing West Des Moines and moving to John’s Creek.

Glendora HUB is closing. Its last day of operation will be July 17. People were assigned to a centralized group location rather than the one closest to them.

I wonder how long this will last. I’m guessing two years to avoid severance pay. Having accounting folks in Houston seems like they had no choice because they were totally against it originally. Thoughts????? Hopefully the new mgmt is better but that doesn’t say much

Seems like fewer folks than originally thought actually want to move to OKC. It will be 50/50 Permian staff in OKC and Midland. Seems like they are favoring continuity over cutting folks.

By the looks of the Midland office, the mothership is going to be shutting it down soon. No one‘s ever there they’ve closed the whole floor and the other ones are maybe 50% full. It’s only a matter of time before they start leasing out one of the towers. If I were one of the employees there, I would start looking at other competitors that value people close to the wellhead.

You have heard
1/3 of employees at EMHC
1/3 of employees at BTC
1/3 of employees at sites

What you haven’t heard is what percentage of employees at EMHC and sites will be from the BTC.

Dan and other leaders have mentioned closing locations and that locations shouldn't matter for hires but when will we see that in job postings?

Announcement coming in 3rd quarter!

New York
San Francisco

New York employees may be allowed to relocate to New Jersey although those spots are full.

Nike is shutting down three global technology sites. This follows a recent 1,400-person layoff announcement. The firm seeks to centralize its tech work. Key technology hubs will be Beaverton and India. This supports a strategic pivot from direct sales.

Atlanta, Georgia

Seems that more consolidation is on the horizon. Small specialized centers are toast.

There has been some chatter around the Blue Ash offices that the goal is to move eveyone downtown?

Is there any truth to this?

I can’t imagine there is enough office space but I could be wrong.

Seems pretty obvious that the tech center in ATL is going to be shut down this round. But what about other remote roles in GT? Are they over? Most of my team is in NY

Ivine, Tulsa, Lone Tree, Chandler, West Henrietta, Bellevue, Indianapolis, Kenner all closing. Employees going to be told to wfh.

Bedminster moving to Basking Ridge, Richardson moving to Irving, Rolling Meadows down to 2 floors.

Employees will receive info on 4/22

OP: @cj+1kpm2dak3

Putting this up for visibility.

Do we know anything about Tulsa and whether it’s being chopped? Huge cavernous and dated building with a couple hundred people huddling on 2/4 floors in 1/5 wings. I guess we own the big tu-d but been trying to get rid of it for years. Odd that it don’t come up in these conversations about what offices are closing because it seems like the first one I’d get rid of

Involuntary surplus of the Houston test center today. I believe 68 of us left. Everything moving to Dallas.

Heard huge layoffs in various fraud departments are coming 3/3. Apparently they're using a new location strategy as an excuse.

Rumors that Bedminster is closing and the outcasts will be divided between Middletown and Paramus.

Another baseless rumor or a glimpse of CRE's playbook?

US billing and payment is moved to Provo. Did those employees get canned or are they expected to move to Provo?

So, Penn 2 is off the table. Instead gonna consolidate offices in existing space at 1095 Ave of the Americas. Here come the cuts…

QA for complaints in SLC got notified today that they would be let go by end of 2027. And in a town hall where they showed a map with SLC not on it for core locations and then just moved on like it was nothing.

Water cooler chatter has been buzzing and seems the idea has picked up steam again????

Our team is scattered across different regions, and I'm the only full time in this location in my team, along with few contractors.

What's the latest??

Last day with the co is 02/10 thank goodness. Old team member told me both FCI and CSBBO are exiting the Des Moines area.

As part of our multi-year strategy, we have made the decision to exit previous target locations over the next few years. Non-target markets include:
• Wilmington, Delaware
• St. Louis, Missouri
• New York, New York
• Salt Lake City, Utah
• Raleigh, North Carolina
• San Francisco, California (including Concord)
• Chicago, Illinois
If you are not in one of our target locations, please know that there are no immediate changes to your day-to-day responsibilities or where you work-business will continue as usual as we work through this multi-year journey.
