“Merger Response Resources”

“If you have concerns and reservations about the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, or you believe conditions are needed to ensure the merger doesn't reduce your competitive options, it is important that the Surface Transportation Board hear from you now and at every opportunity during the regulatory review process. Your voice matters.”

It’s like it’s another way of saying that they don’t want to compete with UP even more. It’s funny how they act like they care about the customer when they’ve ripped them off for years as well. If you want the customer’s business, lower your prices and offer better service. Simple. You know it as well as everyone else.

Di-k's Sporting Goods has started layoffs at Foot Locker. This occurs nearly a year after its acquisition of the retailer. Unnamed sources confirmed the news to Footwear News. Some employees were asked to return to office or relocate. Redundancies were expected following the merger.

Verizon deal ?

Another 52 week low with the stock today and has fallen under major support

If it continues to fall then it very likely PE take over, strip the company to bare bones and break it up for parts

Just because we were spared this time doesn’t mean we are out of the clear. Once this WB + Paramount merger happens we are ALL on the chopping block. This can’t be helped. Allow yourself to breathe a sigh of relief then start looking again. The battle has been won but the war rages on.

Clearly, David had no idea how widespread our network is and how crucial some remote workers are. Like literally frameworks, codebases, etc would fail overnight. This gives leadership some time to figure out Plan B.

Plan B will be what will happen in 2027. Buckle up.

What is the future ? Will there be any layoffs as part of this merger ? Any updates to RTO ?

Now with this merger it’s time to get rid of C Smith, Boling, and Lucas. They have destroyed this company.

Hawaiian Airlines is eliminating over 400 nonunion positions. These job cuts primarily affect administrative and operational support staff in Honolulu. The layoffs are a direct result of the company's merger with Alaska Air Group. Affected employees are offered severance packages and job placement services. Front-line union jobs are not included in this round of reductions.

Ever heard of a corpse stinking so bad that the vultures give up and fly away?

Let me get to the point - Sprint is cancer and everything Sprint touched gets in deep troubles, just ask Nextel and Clearwire!

Eighty-five workers are affected by job cuts. These cuts are at the San Jose headquarters. Dozens more workers are affected across the Bay Area. Layoffs will occur in two separate rounds. This is tied to a banking platform conversion.

Due to the ever-so-relatable surge in global oil prices—and their entirely rational influence on corporate philosophy—Paramount will be transitioning employees and “eligible deputized staffers” to remote work, in a bold effort to conserve fuel and, where possible, coherence.

As we stride confidently into our next merger (and its inevitable sequel), leadership encourages everyone to remain focused, synergized, and deeply appreciative. After all, nothing fuels great storytelling like an ambient mix of layoffs, strategic redundancies, and morale that exists primarily as a concept.

A brief reminder on workplace etiquette: any individual observed leaving the office five minutes early will, of course, be subject to our standard disciplinary pathways—either ceremonially burned at the stake in the town square of Slack, or, more commonly, politely and vigorously chastised behind their backs by a carefully assembled menagerie of conflict-averse executives.

Let’s also remember: the office is where work happens—except when it doesn’t. Annual reviews have been streamlined into a more efficient delivery system known as “you’ll hear from us,” so no need to trouble yourselves with preparation.

In the meantime, please enjoy the complimentary snacks while they remain part of our shared reality, maintain a positive attitude, and avoid dwelling on contradictions.

All hands on deck—giddy up.

• career advancement
• work life balance
• cool cutting edge technology
• money

When I started Wells, wells offered 3 of those.

Now it offers zero.

Last company I worked for when oil hit 120 a barrel went under. Wells wont go under but the Fed will allow it to be bought and merged.

I know some groups weren’t hit in the last round of layoffs and we are still fat with duplicate roles due to Xerox/Lexmark teams being merged. And the company isnt doing well. So I suspect more layoffs are coming. Seen a few people say May 30. How likely is that? Anyone got any insight or a crystal ball?

They’re saying that they’ll combine the two services. Which one do you think gets merged with other one?

I have noticed that P+ Mobile app is better, but HBO Max’s app is better on OTT/TV devices.

Clay was only worried about numero uno. He got the CEO and literally gave up everything else. Once the deal is done, expect him to check out and not make any tough decisions while letting the new exec team of 5 Coterra people and 3 Devon people figure out the future of the company. Pretty incredible to have the advantage of being the larger company and give up everything.

Get ready the CEO stated that UP will resubmit the merger plan with NS by April 20th. He stated there will be attrition and resignment with the workforce once the merger takes place.

Those of us in micro TFB know that what they with segments and having the best areas not assisgned is not working. How long does it take for the upper levels to realize this in either lay us all off or merge us back with SMB so we can actually sell again?

Will cuts begin before or after the merger is finalized?

This merger of equals is exactly what Devon needs. It is time for something new, something refreshing, and perhaps a new perspective.

People are walking on eggshells over very stupid things. Most of it is very questionable union has been contacted. Anything to do with merger?

Omnicom PR agencies and leadership moved to a new New York office. This relocation follows Omnicom's acquisition of Interpublic Group. The move aligns office space with hybrid work patterns and lease considerations. Staff layoffs occurred at OPR agencies in the past quarter. These workforce reductions continued into the first quarter

From Bloomberg:

• Capital One will lay off 1,139 employees after acquiring Discover Financial Services in 2024.
• About half of the layoffs affect Illinois workers, mainly at Discover’s Riverwoods headquarters.
• Additional employees work remotely but report to teams based in Riverwoods.
• None of the layoffs involve front-line customer-facing positions.
• Capital One has cut 1,748 jobs total since late 2025.
• Layoffs are part of integrating Discover into Capital One after the $35 billion merger.
• Most workers leave by May 4, with final departures scheduled by Oct. 2, and will receive severance and career support.

Wondering how many of you all in here are from the core Nexient company?

Really miss the old days where stuff was running so much smoother, Nexient as a whole was much better than NTT and layoffs? Pft, unheard of from me in Nexient.

Please tell me I am not the only one in here.

Paramount is saying the merger will go without major layoffs. I honestly think they're full of it and only saying that not to cause panic. This is not a cheap acquisition, and they'll have to find ways to make up for the investment somehow. I wish I was wrong, but I believe major layoffs are unavoidable.

Compass International Holdings initiated layoffs. One hundred ten jobs were cut in Madison, New Jersey. These reductions follow its recent acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate. The company aims for "cost synergies" after the merger. Compass plans to achieve significant savings over three years.

Capital One laid off a bunch of Discover associates on Feb 23, 2026. I'm also one of the impacted person unfortunately after Capital One and Discover merger finalized and completed. Estimates number is 1500 to 1700 people (%15 of Business Technology).

Yall were right! I just got my raise last week and pulled in a meeting to get let go this morning. I am apart of the team that is one of the merger companies. Damn!

Whats up with the rush to merge NACE into CSS and the short and sweet call today by EVP's. Cloud is history now its all about AI. All dressed up but nothing to sell.

Does anyone have any genuine insights into whether or not the second round of layoffs will still be happening soon? Or could they be on hold for now until the WB merger is finalised? Doesn’t look like convergence will be ready as planned either.

Does anyone actually have good feeling about this takeover this whole operational readiness is turning out to be a operational disaster month

Anyone know timing on bec/snack merge? Bev has GMAS -is that position eliminated? What about admins? So much work going to Mexico
