The scam continues with a 2026 pay raise less than inflation. Inflation caused by Aramco’s buddies to the north. In the last 10 years that leaves only 1, 2024, where Ali and the scammers beat inflation with a decent pay raise. Do yourself a favor if you’re still there and figure how much your salary has decreased when factoring inflation. And for anyone considering moving to the Toxic environment, offered both indoors and outdoors (worst air quality in the world), think about an avg 1-3% annual raise before stepping on the plane to the land of empty quarters…and empty promises.

Is this being reported on? Four days in the office is too much, the low morale in the office is ki-ling me.
ITV
Has there been any layoffs or anything coming in independent testing and validation outside of getting rid of the people in California for location strategy ?
Corp Medicaid marketing delays?
Anyone else having issues working with the VP of Medicaid Marketing around timelines and execution? Feels like constant delays, wasted budget, and no clear direction. Lots of talk in meetings but when the time comes …nothing actually moves…and later we hear it couldn’t even be done. Starting to wonder if marketing is being phased out again with how little progress there’s been. Seeing this anywhere else?
IHO and Shared Services
Hi gang
I've become almost beholden on my IHO and Shared Services employees, at a division level. They're my go to's.
Which areas of IHO and SS were cut hard? Communication being struck from our name, I suspect we all get nothing, so anyone that can chime in?
How Stupid Does the Union Think People Are?
Please, Union, stop with the condescending emails that indicates you take your benefactor, dues-paying, members for mo--ns. No matter how much lipstick you attempt to put on this pig of an "agreement", it's not improving.
Get out of your ivory national tower. I know the union pays good, off our backs, but we need to be paid too for doing the actual work that keeps you at your temperature-controlled desks. Fight the fight your cushy jobs are paying you to fight.
Tomorrow is my last day
Do I regret taking voluntary retirement? No. Will this company regret hiring people who don’t know our industry, empowered to make decisions and ultimately destroying service all to save a buck? Absolutely. But after tomorrow it’s not something I need worry about.
Tell Dell …. is it truly anonymous?
There’s so much I’d love to submit in the next Tell Dell opportunity, but how “anonymous” is it?
Speak up RTM people

Are we allowed to use public wifi?
Like working at a coffee shop, airport, hotel etc... assuming I connect to the Cisco VPN I should be good, right? Or is it against company policy? Should I just use my phones hotspot?
What’s the stupidest question you were asked in an interview?
I had an interview on Monday that I was really excited about, until they asked me what animal I would be if I could choose. Seriously, what kind of question is that? Why would anyone ask something like that? It's been a while since I last interviewed, is this the norm now?
47 to 3 Rule

AMC removed for CBG
Heard from a grapevine that Area AMCs for CBG will cease to exist and will follow SIBG-TEBG global model. Is it correct?
Who remembers when VYX awarded senior management...
Performance based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) for Wilkinson, Kelly, Schoch, et al, if the share price hit... $24!
https://investor.ncrvoyix.com/node/33601/html
November 2024, not even 18 months ago.
$24, what were they smoking?
24 cents is looking a lot more likely. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of people. I can only hope Mike Hayford and that whole clown show held onto their shares.
Any layoff news?
See title.
Any actual layoff news or is this now the RTO complaint forum?

Any other points have managers must have a 40% failure rate in testing?

WTF Is a Coffee Badger ?
i was born yesterday but could someone explain.
Does This Proposed Agreement Protect Retirees From Financial Ruin?
I have a concern regarding the tentative agreement in the Northeast.
I realize we paid a heavy price in 1989 and, as a result of that sacrifice, were able to keep essentially cost-free medical benefits for the next two-and-a-half decades.
However, uncertain economic times in 2016 resulted in us, fairly or not, shouldering more of the burden, not only the men and women that had 20, 25, 30, 35... years on the job under their belt already, but also the retirees now had to unexpectedly pony up and adjust to this new and unexpected financial burden on a fixed income based on earlier reasonable expectations and assumptions, if I understand correctly.
I am now hearing murmurings about about retiree healthcare skyrocketing, from, say, $60 a month to 10X that amount, $600 a month, for example. I hope these rumors are wrong and that I am needlessly worrying about something that will never come to be.
Are there any guarantees built into this new tentative agreement that shield both our current retirees, as well as those that will eventually be joining their ranks, from the future uncertainty of exorbitant increases that will make affordability a larger hurdle, if not an impossibility, for the elderly who served their union and their company well?
Stock Options
Does anyone receive stock options as part of ACP? In previous years, I was usually granted some options to offset the lower salary, but this year I didn’t receive any at all.
I’m wondering if that signals something, especially given leadership’s strong confidence in investing in AI. Does it mean my role might not be as needed anymore very soon?
Audit
Audit is in either a bad place morally or the talent level is in the gutter.
Audit is complicit in the mess that will be uncovered in 3 years.
Do they have a pulse? Anyone alive out there?
It’s not that hard. Huge mess in Corp Risk.
Are we at the magic headcount number yet?
What is it looking like in these geos:
US
Taiwan
Israel
Costa Rica

Are there layoff expected in Minimed to return to profitability, to boost share prices? Any thoughts
