Any news from Midwest? anyone getting cut? I hope everyone the best rn!

This is crazy. West coast news will starting hitting within the hour.

Anyone who speculated that Lex Loofah would end up at 101 Productions so he could continue sponging off Taylor Sheridan was close, but apparently not quite on the money.

Kind of appalling that NBCU is going to pay him to continue riding Sheridan's coattails and declare himself a "hitmaker" despite not actually making anything himself.

Gross.

This company is absolutely mad. They're just throwing in the towel to T-Mobile.

WMT’s comparable sales up 4.5%, TJX comparable sales up 5%, TGT comparable sales down 2.7%.

How is Fiddelke going to spin this?

Drop any info here. Good luck

Dan just stated it’s 13,000 in his email. Better than the 15,000-20,000 we were reading

13,000 layoffs begin today. Here we go...

Nokia's Polish branch refuses to recognize a legal trade union. A pattern of union busting that betrays Finland's democratic labor values

" Zwiazkowa Nowoczesna is a legally registered trade union founded in 2024 at Nokia Solutions & Networks Poland. From the very beginning, Nokia's local management has employed tactics directly drawn from the classic union busting playbook: refusing to communicate, denying legal status, and obstructing any form of dialogue with employees. These are not isolated missteps—they form a pattern, suggesting intent rather than confusion.
Recently, Nokia Poland reiterated in an official letter that “your trade union does not exist for us,” despite receiving multiple formal notifications required by Polish law regarding our activity and membership. This position is blatantly illegal. According to Poland's Trade Union Act, employers must recognize and communicate with every duly formed trade union, regardless of size. There are no legal grounds for denying recognition of our existence, and doing so constitutes a violation of fundamental labor rights protected both by national and EU law.

This conduct reveals bad faith. It shows that Nokia is not merely misunderstanding Polish legal standards—it is consciously disregarding them. Such behavior would be unthinkable in Finland, a country where trade unions helped shape the very foundations of the modern welfare state and social economy. The contrast is striking: a Finnish company that thrives within a strong system of social dialogue now exports authoritarian labor practices to Central and Eastern Europe."

FYI - Qualcomm story you might like ...

https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/arabi-qualcomm-fraud-scheme/

Dr. Karim Arabi, once a senior leader in Qualcomm’s Research and Development division, was sentenced on Oct. 28, 2025, in San Diego federal court. Chief U.S. District Judge Cynthia A. Bashant also ordered Arabi to forfeit more than $45 million, along with luxury properties in Canada and Norway, and to pay $100.8 million in restitution to Qualcomm.

Market has rejected Dan's plan. Its been a week since they announced 15K layoffs, the stock hasnt moved an inch. Could be a signal that market is anticipating further deterioration at the expense of cost reduction.

What's AG up to in Washington?

Has anyone heard anything about public sector BGCO voice?

Hoping we’re done for the holidays, but not feeling very confident.

I just heard that the 11/20 date is moving to 12/20.

Fundamentally Fiserv is a good company and strongly believe that it will bounce back under the leadership of our courageous, professional leader, peoples' person and The Beloved Mike Lyons.

Along the way.. MTG steps up to standby 'America First'.. Hatsoff..

She called the H-1B program “riddled with fraud and abuse” and said it had been “displacing Americans for decades.”

Trump has largely agreed with this assessment but has recently sought to reform the visa process rather than eliminate it.
