P66 to be acquired!

Water fountain rumors are that GoGo and Southernland have been meeting with outside legal teams negotiating an acquisition of P66. Anybody have any insight?
Watching the stock trades of the ELT and Board definitely makes one wonder if there might be some validity to the rumors…


Seems like layoffs are pretty minimimal this quarter

Usually - at least the last 6 years - layoffs have been rampant starting end of 4th and in 1st quarter. Haven't heard much about it lately, and not even on here. I'm wondering if it's because Maverick is so far behind schedule and/or they are now under the 100k employee mark?


Dan why are the executives pushing for TCS contracting company, fishy?

The rumor is TCS (Tata Consulting Services) will be the vendor, what is cooking here?
Dan in order to ensure competition exists, please do not limit to one vendor ... TCS has very poor delivery record. Hire cheaper, subpar contractors ...
One vendor approach will ki-l access to talent and competition. There is already alot of biasing, nepotism, favors being extended.

This is something to dig deep into, to find where the problem is ...
Conspiracy? Kickbacks? Why being pushed towards one vendor?


Less employees, Lot more work

No point of layoffs if they replace with new people. So they won’t. They are going to try to reduce costs if they laid off people. Some people think that they be safe if they survive layoffs. So they keep asking on this site “are there any layoffs?” and participate in rumors about it. Even though you don’t get a layoff, your workload will increase. Believe me all this types of conversations and any decisions will just make the company sink.


Is the below from a VZ insider true?

I found this response from the post titled "R2 layoff chatter is fake news" from earlier today

"@OP I was in Finance. Until they asked me to move to BR, then offered me the standard year buyout since I decided not to move to the armpit of the world (that information should tell you my level.)

There is another five-figure layoff coming about a month post consolidation. Then ~5k in Q4 again. That was plan A. Plan B was ~5k now, and five-figure in Q4, depending on how well QAM-less TV goes (how many onshore engineers they need to fix things) and how quickly/easily Frontier comes online.

Don't forget the 6k heads from Starry, as well, that'll be coming in April. Which will not be profitable, and will fold like a cr-ppy pair of BlueJeans. Or the brilliant Lowell acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo.

Target HC (the key metric for layoffs) is ~78,500 heads.

I just accepted an offer with a growing company (more money, but have to be in office; can't be perfect, I guess.) Cashed out my (frozen, small) pension and stock together awards to an IRA, with stocks that actually perform.

I enjoyed the semi-continuous axe swinging for my 26y, made good money (but not great, after testing the market), left with a fat check to go make more elsewhere.

Telecom has become a race to the bottom. That'll necessitate less HC, lower salaries, and smaller businesses. You're going to see more reductions, with a far smaller RIF package in the future. I worked through the BCs. It's coming.

Couldn't be happier to be out..."


10,000 more cuts

I thought this might be from last year or year before but nope, just a copy paste


USAA Culture of Lies and Dishonesty

You won’t believe the tea DV was always spilling! He kept going on and on about how everyone who came over from USAA got that sweet LTIP I mean, literally down to the assistants who transferred in. Like, he made it sound like the ultimate selling point, the big perk that sealed the deal.
And don’t get me started on KS /DV she was all about bringing in her people to push out the NM crew, basically stirring up all this fear to clear house. It’s been two whole years of them making up their own rules and just lining their pockets. I heard only one is left now… what a total joke!


I’m confused - bonus

I’m so confused. None of my bosses / leaders have said anything about no bonuses. I haven’t received any emails about no bonuses. But on here there’s so many posts of people speaking with such authority about no more bonuses.

Is this still just a rumor? Or has something been shared?
