Can’t believed I’ve been here long enough to see the running joke of new GEOs and disbanding APLA becoming a reality.

What else did we missed?

With US Bank shipping off 5-10k jobs oversees, and a $250 million investment in India instead of Minnesota, you'd think Star Tribune would think that is newsworthy.

McClatchy has implemented significant layoffs, impacting 30% of its workforce across various publications. The Bradenton Herald has been particularly affected, losing three key staff members. These reductions leave the Herald with only two reporters and an editor, raising serious concerns about its ability to serve the local community. The article highlights the vital role of local journalists in holding institutions accountable and informing citizens. These cuts occur amidst broader industry challenges, including the rise of AI and hedge fund ownership of news organizations.

The sneaker giant also announced a restructuring plan to “position Nike for long-term growth.”

• More Layoffs!! Wow.

I am fool for waiting for them come out with positive and real world answers

I am a fool

Does this mean we will be split up ? Any news ?

And then when things first started to go south, waiting it out, hoping things would improve. Ouch.

Has anyone seen this? Completely embarrassed for whomever thought this was a good idea. I'm wondering how long it will take for our customers (many who they blast in the opening) to call and complain. Whomever thought this up, along with the long list of approvers I'm sure, should be walked out with the next round of layoffs.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a ridiculous thing?

Statement:
ConocoPhillips has notified employees, partners and regulators that it is evaluating a potential sale of its Norway business and Teesside asset after receiving an unsolicited offer. This evaluation is consistent with the company's disciplined strategy to optimize and high-grade its portfolio. If we do not receive an offer that meets the company's expectations for value, ConocoPhillips will retain the assets.

This is an interesting development. Hopefully we start making smart acquisitions

So did Anthem change their name to Elevance because “Anthem” caused people to have an uncontrollable gag reflex every time they heard the name?

Honestly surprised by this

Well that did not take long for Snack-Attack to sc--w up that relationship, or maybe it was Prashant Prashant Prashant that messed this one up. So much for all that bravado and boringness. Knowing nothing about how the channel works is sure to create some holes in the pocket, watch those pennies spill out. More earnings woes in store, can't fill a revenue whole fast enough for the Q4 hit. Someone is playing 4D Chess and we can only fathom 2D, if that. Maybe it was the pinnacle of it all, we have seen pinnacle moments before, look what happened with that. It was the pinnacle of my career.. LOL. Remember? Memory loss?

I know let's throw the CTO at them so he can um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um them to death. Or maybe the CFO and he can blind them with some tacky Fuchsia socks and large medallions made of fake gold to WIN WIN WIN WIN WINNIG!! Maybe Jack can attack with the pledge pin loaded with laser beams!

It's just so hard to really root root root for this place when they have been firing dedicated people for YEARS based on management's own mistakes, loyalty takes a hit, morale declines a bit more day by day, it's getting stale and OLD, just like the C-Suite here. You know, pushing out more folks to make more room for every over 50+ years old Cisco sellers walking in the door every week.

Citibank eyes expansion in Kyrgyzstan with possible branch

I am on the IT engineer/architect side of things at Conduent. Everything we do is 100% reactionary. No forethought. Everything is held together with duct tape and a prayer. The place is a joke. Stay far away from Conduent if you are looking for IT work.

Keeps coming up on the street

News reports coming of another formal all stock bid presented to the board for around 80-90 dollars by a prominent US technology company on the West Coast. Now who could it be. It can't be Google or Apple as they have competing wallets. Amazon is a possibility but Amazon is not so much into payments. X is not headquartered on west coast and is nit a pureplay tech company. That leaves only Meta. Meta has been looking to convert Watsapp into a superapp especially for payments and the new Watsapp CEO has background in credit and fintech in India. To me the muse partnership is really an opening shot into a process to buyout PP by Meta and get payment rails instantly. Meta won't want another 20k+ employees . Expect more brutal layoffs!
