This is in addition to the 9 weeks in lieu of redeployment payment

To all the wireline folks ...what year was it, or when was the last time you had a manager that had a background in telecom?

Do you think PP has ever seen Christmas Vacation? I say no….

Those who are looking at the age issue with a class action, is there any room for the stealing of our PTO?

How does filing for unemployment work after being laid off from ibm with 12 weeks severance? Has anyone been there before?

I can't think of any.

Trying to find anything positive around here feels like a scavenger hunt, but I'll make it work for today. I’ll say we saved a process last month that actually helped the team, and a coworker landed a cool internal move. Small wins, but hey, I’ll take them. Anybody else?

I'd like to start next year being able to focus on my work (if I'm still here, of course). I have been half-productive since this whole thing started. It's not intentional, I just can't concentrate properly when all I can think about is if I'm next and what I'll do if I lose my job. Can we just get this over with?

Nothing before next year, right?

Even today? I keep replaying the next round in my head and wondering when it's coming and how large it'll be and whether I'm actually going to make it through. The worry just hangs around because this place has for sure left a mark on everyone who had to live through all of it.

Layoffs will occur on the week of December 12. You're welcome.
Is this true or is somebody trolling?

I'd prefer severance.

Some people are mentioning December, any truth to that?

There is no box to put my signature in…

All indications suggest she will be appointed as the next CEO, what do you think of her?

sr eng
yoe 5 (3yrs engineer, 2yrs sr)
HW engineer
Base 145k
Is this base on average?

How many staff employees were laid off in this latest cycle?
Predicted staff to be layed off in 2026?

What’s the morale at work at the moment? It appears that those laid off are rather silent at the moment…

Has anyone heard anything about the severance package being cut in half next year?

Layoff’s are one of the main tools to boost a companies stock price.
Now that we are doing that with some more room to go, the price has risen 48% YTD.
Again, there’ll be another round or two of layoffs of that I’m sure.

So the question is, after its all said and done and the stock is at whatever price its at…..does it flatline, go up or does it go down. A stock price bump is easy to achieve with even the announcement of the word “layoff” much less when you actually do it. So now that we are there….what does it look like going forward?

Does it have legs to keep running or does it drop over time back to where it was 2-3 years ago?

Hi all

I’m in the loop process for a senior ish role (SCE Deal Lead). If you had the opportunity to tell someone if it was something they should do what would you say?

Obviously I only hear the positive things during the loop process so very keen to understand some other views

Hey everyone, was just wondering what happened here. Before i was able to check this and get all the latest rumors. Lately, there are weeks with almost no topics and no new comments. Just heard a lot of big news this week and i am checking every day to see if someone will post something but nothing. Regarding the news, have confirm a lot of people were let go this week and there were talks i. nCR Voyix about having a 5 days office as mandatory from 2026, so that decision should have more people just quiting. Not sure at all where we are heading, both Voyix and Atleos.

So how come some stores that performed well on the leaderboard were closed? Because they didn't do enough volume? Well everyone in retail knows that they higher ups scold you for volume. They only want "quality" Some stores dug their own grave by gaming the system on leaderboard to be higher on the ranker.

IMO it's always been one of the worst parts about this job and part of the reason that they company loses out on so much. They would rather you walk a sale that retains a customer but whom isn't buying insurance, an add a line and 3 perks on premium.

When does Houston do work? What is the return on $475/hr bill rate for extracting other country’s resources while sitting in a glass castle?

Why isn't there a hiring freeze after (and before) such huge layoffs? I can see hundreds of openings, some added last week. How does that make sense?

What has everyone heard about upcoming job cuts ?

Is it truly as simple as our great leader DW makes it seem? Fire people as often as possible and the sky is the limit? After 10+ years in upstream chasing npv+ opportunities the downstream model exemplified by our most fearless and brilliant executive seems much more straight forward

Can we take r n r in december. If they make a stink ill opt for unpaid,

what is going on with ATT prepaid/cricket. A lot of upper management in corporate have been leaving in the last few months. Top positions…. Why and are we expecting to see layoffs on the ATT prepaid/cricket channel

Mine is not. Adjusted for inflation, I am making less today than I was making 10 years ago. Just saying.

Do you think there will be layoffs due to different marketing groups merging and/or consolidating?

Does anybody know if we get to retain our bonus that doesn’t vest until June 2028 after we are displaced?

Haven’t popped into Layoff for many months. Come in today and the last comment is like 4 months old. Did RVBD close the doors? Does the corpse have a pulse? Can someone provide an overview of what’s going on? How have the last couple of quarters been? Any key people left? Anybody buying anything? Anybody ever buy the AI thing? Clue-in us formers!

is there a process, what about cobra etc? It seems that everything is geared towards folks taking the package.

I’m not sure if Accenture is really transforming or modernizing the application? Are they just doing BAU. Another question is TIAA planning to outsource their data division?
