Favoritism & immigration abuses
Recently I noticed a lot of guy's spouse are joining fis at lower salary replacing local folks. If the employee is on l1 visa then the spouse must be in l2 visa and per my knowledge the corporate companies including fis generally don't hire l2 but it's not happening recently at fis.
It's a huge SCAM!!
Can anyone guide me what's the official channel of raising this concern?
Who are these people
None of these "positive," people match a profile or description of anyone. Who are these people here? Are we getting punked
The Layoff is Compromised
Deleting critical posts without cause is a question of integrity. How can you be neutral when you're running interference?
What about the outplacement services?
Does anyone have experience with the outplacement services for those who choose the PIL? For someone who is NOT an engineer or construction person...?
Home office meeting was a joke
Their answers to questions were so bad. They are so disingenuous. There feels like there is so much more of a push to do more work and their answers are just around that they do so much research on pay, bonuses are good, etc.
We don’t buy it. Why even act like you are being transparent when your answers are so bad.
What’s the catch with LP?
It seems way too hyped up to be true. I feel like so many of the answers to questions are “wait for the LP”. There has always been this promise of 20% returns.
What’s the catch? Are they going to drop returns? I’m genuinely curious.
HSE
Anybody else hearing HSE is losing folks in Bartlesville?
Gossip About Some Terminated Hughes Employees being invited back.
Any truth to this?
Is EchoStar really doing a Just Kidding, Come Back tactic to some?
Did they finally realize that what they did pretty much caused disaster recovery to have to happen?
Of invited back, would you come back? If you refuse, would they take away severance?
When is skunkworks 30k truck coming?
Will it ever see light of day?
9/4 Lucky people
For those who lucked out with the 9/4 date, can you share what department you are in? Just curious.
Orange Contract - VTP and Pension
Question for the Orange book wireless techs if there are any on here.
If they offer VTP, does one keep their pension?
Thanks
Business Transformation getting Executives fired
I heard there was a BT team that got the old VPs/SVPs of base management and CS fired by pointing out how terrible their decisions were. How does one join this team?
Is it true JR in RMC is forcing remote people to choose?
I heard a rumor. Is it true that JR in RMC area gave remote employees an ultimatum to choose either to relocate to a hub or lose their jobs by July 31st? I heard they have until July 31st to choose what they're doing and if they decline to relocate they will lose their job mid September. She's rolling it out across her organization this year. And that she has like 1000+ remote employees out of 4000 employees. Is that true?
Layoffs this Friday 7/24
Any word on count, departments, in person vs. remote, etc.?
Hip Hop Wannabe TIAA
I have 2 serious questions.
- Did that Wyclef Jean song ever gain any traction? LMAO
- Is that Diddy guy still an executive at the company?
I can’t believe I’m asking this of our once semi-respectable company.
Who is cut?
Anyone know which staff are layed off? Parent wants to know.
Why share price is going down ?
Is the stock dropping because Sassine made a really d-mb decision?
Anyone know what specific Legg org VP/SVP teams will surplus in September?
I've heard more surplus is coming in September, and I am hoping I'm on that list! I asked to be on the July surplus and was told my department wasn't impacted so I could not be included. Any chance I will be on it in September? Specifically looking for impacted VP/SVP teams under Legg.
Does Ally Do Outsourcing of IT or Heavy H1B Use?
Just curious, does Ally do heavy outsourcing or participate in a lot of H1B hiring? Especially in the tech department/group?
New Leadership
When are we going to be rid of this terrible regime? Any light at all at the end of the tunnel?
Splunk's Leadership out the door?
Rumor has it that Kamal & Mange are out early August
RPO $638B misunderstood by most people
In the FY2026 10-K Oracle says its $638 billion RPO is expected to convert into revenue approximately as follows:
~$77 billion over the next 12 months.
~$217 billion during months 13–36.
~$217 billion during months 37–60.
~$127 billion thereafter.
This includes the current revenue streams and potential AI revenue and not just AI revenue.
Let's just consider the first 5 years of the RPO schedule. You add the first 3 lines you $511B.
Oracle's FY24-FY26 total revenue reported is
FY2024: $53.0 billion
FY2025: $57.4 billion
FY2026: $67.4 billion
This is $0 from AI so far.
Extrapolating for the next 5 years with an average growth of 10% year on year (again no AI revnue yet) you get:
FY2027: 74.14B
FY2028: 81..55B
FY2029: 89.70B
FY2030: 98.67B
FY2031: 108.5B
Add it up you get $452B. Did I say no AI revenue yet?
What's the difference between the RPO ($511B) and realistic growth in revenue over next 5 years? ~$60B. That's $12B per year from AI. Does that sound far fetched?
So, why is the stock market overreacting? It's because of the negative cash flow (largely due to DC investments) , but that is only short term pain. And who says the new DCs need to be used for AI only? There's so many Federal and Defence programs that need Compute. Once the DC investments are completed Cash Flow will return to positive and it is only upwards from there.
Time to buy Oracle shares?
Wausau/Menominie/Cumberland - Culture?
Hello, how is the culture at these locations? How does pay compare for the local cost of living? Any of these sites union? Have seen fairly frequent job postings both internal and external the last few years with positions I could qualify for. Would like some insight to these locations if possible, thank you
Is the escorting true?
New here, and I've heard that when people get laid off, they're immediately escorted out of the building. I can't believe that's true. It would be so disrespectful.
Everything seems to be humming along fine??
Despite all the doom and gloom , departure, supposedly degradation of of support and other generally depressing moral, I feel that everything is business as usual. Am I missing something? I'm in product solutions or global ops now.
Next round in September?
So we get a whooping month and a half of reprieve before this continues?
Who was on campus today?
I saw state troopers positioned along 99 East all the way to Rayford exit.
is the number 6000 today?
Could it be?
Krista get whacked today?
Any news on what happened here?
Curious on where to jump next
Thinking about Splunk – is it a smart move or a sinking ship?
Do you think BOA is currently using AI to rank and can or do you think this may happen in the near future?

Most toxic boss or deparment
Time to share, who is the most toxic boss or department in Saudi Aramco. This should be interesting
Are we set up for failure?!
This was posted on another site. It makes perfect sense:
One employee resigns.
Another struggles to meet expectations.
It's easy to conclude:
"We need to find someone better."
Sometimes that's true.
But I've learned to ask a different question first:
If I hired the perfect person tomorrow, would they succeed in the environment we've created?
If the answer is "I'm not sure," the next hire may face the same challenges.
Before replacing people, it's worth examining:
The systems
The training
The communication
The expectations
The leadership support
Great organizations don't just hire great people.
They create environments where great people can succeed.
What do you think—have you ever seen a great employee struggle because the system around them wasn't setting them up for success?
B2B and Enterprise?
Any news here? Good luck everyone.
Which unions have you reached out to?
The board is getting harder to use due to what looks like coordinated astroturfing—which may be the whole point. So, I’ve pivoted to calling union reps and coworkers directly, since I'm not based near a major office. The reception has been remarkably positive. People are bringing up the Teamsters, UAW, and others. If you're exploring this route, start at the AFL-CIO site (https://aflcio.org/formaunion); it’ll point you toward local chapters.
