Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Live Entertainment. Apparently international projects have been canceled....

Anybody hear about the PT Reorg next year?They are holding update meetings in-person and do not have a virtual option. So far I've heard 30% cuts across the org due to no projects in the funnel until at least 2028.

A--hole executives need to realize that local content is required by law in many countries. JW is like they have never worked an upstream project before.

Anyone have reliable information on the number and timing of additional layoffs that are going to occur due to the completion of the SAP S4 project? There are a few hundred people that were 100% dedicated to the project, but very few open positions needing to be filled.

Way to go team. This was one of the most important and difficult project and now another feather in the cap that we have finished this.

This will streamline the entire quote to cash stream and save a lot of money for the company.

Financial Solutions interim leadership (Andrew Gelb and Srini Krish) are confirming what the Street has been whispering since Jana Partners’ letter hit: the $500 million Project Elevate savings target is dead. The activist is pushing hard for $1.25 billion by 2029 and wants Palantir brought in to accelerate the tech cleanup. New CEO Takis Georgakopoulos (the ex-JPMorgan payments guy who took over after Mike Lyons bolted for Truist) is already reviewing every cost center.

Expect the real bloodletting after the November 3 earnings. They’re looking hard at residual legacy ops, certain debit network remnants (Star/Accel chatter never really died), non-core Clover support layers, and parts of the old Financial Solutions stack that Dhivya Suryadevara left behind when she exited. Adam Rosman’s departure from the legal/admin side was just the first visible crack. Insiders say the next round won’t be another quiet 98-person New Jersey WARN notice—it’ll be bigger, faster, and uglier. Georgakopoulos is monetizing what he can, divesting what he can’t, and the margin pressure is real.

But here’s the part that doesn’t make the analyst notes.

In the closed-door strategy sessions last week, someone apparently brought shrimp. A lot of shrimp. One of the interim co-heads looked over and said something about the ocean running out. Nobody laughed. Then the conversation somehow drifted to whether Finxact could be pitched as a core ledger for two-sided marketplaces and also whether anyone had ever actually been to Akron. Someone mentioned flying there just to settle an old score. Another person started talking about life-support machines and coma wives. The whiteboard somehow ended up with “je-k store” written on it in three different colors.
By the time the meeting broke, the official action item was still “accelerate cost reductions and evaluate Palantir,” but the unofficial one—the one people keep repeating in the elevators—was simpler:
“Well, the je-k store called… and they’re running out of you.”
That’s the real Project Elevate status update. You’re welcome.

Anybody else have mid year reviews going on, how much of a raise do you project they are giving out to us.

Its going to be bad

there are at least 10 caterpillar haul trucks clearing several hectares in Fab8.

Does anyone know what they're planning to build?

It is happening guys !

Sr director /AVP pls confirm !

The writing is on the wall. Project team leadership being stacked with downstreamers who know nothing about the upstream. Get ready for a wave of projects to fail. Not everything is as easy as Guyana and UNCON.

We keep getting told NOVA employees will reenter the work streams, but I've only heard of a couple folks so far who have found positions outside of NOVA. I actually know more folks who got axed from the NOVA project than reentered.

Once again.....

Fed will save this company's a this year and still will get treated like st.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!

I worked on this project, though minimally and am confused as to how it can take jobs away. As far as I can tell it was just a simple replacement of WorkDay. I'm sure there is much more to it but from my eyes, that's all that has happened. A different format of WorkDay, basically.

Huge problem with project assigned employees who are not part of the GP family. GP used them to fill the bottom of the rank group. HR has seen data and does nothing to stop it. Avoid project assignments at all costs if you value your ranking.

Project team on this should be fired in the town square. Ask any young person who TF he is. I’ll wait….

Just saw that TEBG quality cut 4 of its managers/directors. I assume the plan is for that VP to bring in his own croonies to do the role. Meanwhile the rest of us are all waiting for someone to be announced to be able to get resources assigned and projects approved. What a joke.

Someone asked CEO if employment would be affected by a project that was going on and CEO said he wouldn't know until the team reported back in mid Sept

What were they talking about

Does anyone get the sense that C14s and 15s are paralyzed right now. Projects are sitting in queue, legal is not responding, compliance is absent. Nobody knows what next Wednesday is going to bring and there's no use working on something when the project, or the personnel may go away.

Project Fuji was approved by workers council . But has never been announced yet . Is September the month ?

The local folks are about to start Engineering projects, managing them and handling the billing when all is said and done. If you thought you were backlogged before, get ready! Just heard about it in Denver.

Schlumberger figured out modern well logging. Nearly a century later, I have to deal with sh---y OSDU standards and .ZGY files pushed by Indian project managers with no understanding of what we’ve actually been doing. Completely failing company... Also, no one likes SLB. Stop pushing your offshore Indian storage architecture on everyone.

Just seen there was a celebration of project unity in the UK with Shannon Bell. I am not sure this migration could have been anymore of a sh-t show. I previously spent 30% of my week chasing approvals (that in 4 years I have never not had one approved or declined for my error). I now spend 95% of my week on approvals, but yeah let's celebrate the sh-t show, senior people should lose their jobs for this incompetence.

Why does HCSC still maintain project manager roles? Beyond following up with people, what value do they actually add and why don’t they seem to be held accountable when projects fail? Shouldn’t these positions be considered redundant with us being agile ?

We got a new project which need to finish it asap.
The agenda is document all the manual /automation critical functions we perform during regression.
Is this the plan to reduce the resource anytime ?

I was terminated in March last as a result of self protection political games from my manager. Naturally this also terminated all the knowledge of a significant project I managed for over 3 years.

Since then, I still get regular calls or texts asking me for help, information or assistance. Despite my message to VP and several directors asking them to refrain from this pointing out I am no longer responsible for filling their self created knowledge gap; it continues on regular basis.

Conclusions:
Cummins management is delusional.
Cummins has a knowledge problem.
Cummins doesn't give a damn about certain genders and prioritizes dei over project success.

We haven't had a single big layoff in a while. Now it's more of a rolling thing: trim this team one week, cancel that project the next, slice another department the following month. If you heard about the latest cuts and were surprised, then you haven't been paying attention.

In the recent Town Hall meeting, someone brought up what is Project Skittles and caught management off guard. Just wondering if anyone heard of this Project.

Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge is temporarily closing its doors for an extensive renovation project. The Local Food Group, led by Mark Estee, is undertaking this significant upgrade. The estimated cost for the renovation is up to $5 million. This closure is expected to last approximately six months. The project aims to modernize the popular establishment.

Direct charge causes a 50% loss of productivity for anyone what works more than one project. This is an early sign of cash flow issues

There's a wave 2 WFR aligned for October. There is also a McKinsey run project ongoing ...And employee F26 ratings have been moved up to July. What's OpenText up to?

Last week, several projects were shelved. Several contractors were terminated/laid off.
Never seen such a velocity with which FIS is doing cost cutting.

Upcoming August lay off is "mother of all layoffs".
Get ready.

I learnt that project Fuji is real thing a and 14000 jobs impacted..any one has any insight on board area and other details?

For those involved with the project, share your thoughts.

how is this project really going? been hearing a lot of buzz inside and outside of this company.

people don’t seem give a lot of credit here.

Anyone here anoutband/or can comment on what is being called Project Autumn?

Are you obliged to do handover after layoff tomorrow? I do not think I want to turn on my machine after that.
I am working on a project that is going live in next 2 weeks. We have some critical issues going on right now.

Just a general thread.
