#rumor

There have been quite a few discussions recently about potential changes and layoffs. Has anyone heard any confirmed information about what is happening with the Computational Team or whether they are affected?

Would appreciate any reliable updates or insights.

Only Elite Human Capital could think this is a good idea: Everyone in the bottom 15% of whatever nonsense metrics they're using this week (whichever ones the right people can game properly) are getting automatically PIP'd.

As we all know they use PIPs to prep people for being RA'd. And all the rumors are pointing to a massive RA in September.

We heard that Focal is happening in September. Anyone heard anything, or do you think they’ll announce it after another round of layoffs? 😅

whose effected? more coming?

Do you guys think they are done with layoffs?

I was informed off record by a manager within Allstate that "big changes" were right around the corner in Underwriting. Basically a large amount of layoffs will be occurring in Underwriting. Anyone else caught wind of this and if so are there any details to share?

Any grumblings about more cuts or people leaving?

Rumors of changes to job titles at Corporate on 11/1. No other details other than pay will not be reduced. Anybody else hear?

I hear chatter of layoffs coming to HL. September is right around the corner and it typically happens before Employee Appreciation week.

Did I miss something?

From what I can remember, layoffs almost always start on Tuesday, so I'm going to assume it's going to be the same this time. I don't buy this "layoffs are canceled" talk, we all know it's going to happen.

So far it’s been rumored over the past 6 months that every week the EISP is coming.Yet here we are with more rumors of rumors.I would say I have been watching so many fellow union associates keep putting off their plans .At this point if they are ready to they should just go !!If the extra money is the deal breaker maybe your not ready to go .But ya so tired of hearing the same conversations!!!

Rumor from IMAGE conference last week via Chevron personnel.

Any news on SMS layoffs?

Is this a certainty or still just a rumor?

What are your thoughts of Space X acquiring Verizon?

Is there anything coming next week?

Was that just a rumor that was proven wrong or is there still a chance of it happening?

Any thoughts on when we'll hear about more locations closings?

That's all this latest rumor is about. You buy a company, you get a chance to get rid of redundant positions, and somehow the number of such positions is always huge. As if not all of them are redundant, but were somehow marked as such because, why not use the opportunity to the max?

Too many rumors going around to just ignore them outright. Does anybody here know anything about potential layoffs in the next month or two?

Anything concrete?

Is this a certainty or still just a rumor?

Is this true?

I know everything seems great on paper, so why are we hearing more and more rumors about major layoffs coming before the end of the year? Can anybody with insider knowledge please shed some light on this?

Is it going to be the same as the last time? I'm hearing there might be some reductions, but I truly hope that's not true.

Usually layoffs happen between Tuesday and Thursday (I have no idea why those days seem to be so layoff-friendly). What are the chances this begins on Monday?

September is coming in hot. Hug your coworkers, motivate and encourage each other, update your portfolios, and keep your heads up.

Could there be any more realignment possibilities left with the rest of the facility?

Heard chatters about Q enforcing minimum hours per day (like Amazon) spent in office in the near future. No more coffee badging. Anyone could confirm if this is a rumor?

I know there are layoffs happening this Monday 8/24. Does anyone have any intel on the scope?

The rumor is that, although they have been on the walls offering antacids, ibuprofen, band aids, etc for a decade, it seems there has been an influx of new people that seem to think they can steal all of the single serve medicine packets and supplies every time they restock the supply boxes, so they have just decided we can no longer be trusted and they are removing them entirely...
Thank you thieves and exploiters... this is why we cannot have nice things!

The current rumor now puts a EISP offer potentially in October for 4th quarter.But let’s face it the union people costs are already built in the expense for the next 4 years.The company knows by the then most will leave empty handed.So what I hear in New Jersey especially with Multiple fiber builds going along with many different network transformation projects there will not be some across the board massive EISP offered .The head count is not there any longer along .Coupled with the fact the company has the ability to just shuffle people around pretty much to anywhere in the State they need them to work the projects.The 30 mile rule the way it’s laid out would take you border to border in any direction.I have no idea about NY they may be different.Along with more then likely a number of offers to inside type people .So good luck ,but don’t hold your breath or base your future off Rumors of a huge pay day .

Any news about new round of RAs in September?

Now that the DCG was booted, are we done with layoffs for a while? Or are the rumors of a 60000 headcount true? I told my friend at work he was just being paranoid, but I don't know what to trust anymore

Latest rumor October layoffs.....

There was a post on the r/IBM Reddit page this morning that has since been removed by the executive team's flying monkeys. The post discussed 17 products being sold by IBM to Persistent and didn't go into further detail as the person who posted it was worried about being outed. Has anyone else heard this rumor?
