Rumor mill says there'll be more cuts before the end of the month, has anybody heard anything concrete about it?

How did we go from a huge enhancement EISP package to buyout anyone and everyone to no EISP yet delayed,And when it’s comes it’s going to be a regular EISP offered to only a handful of inside clerk positions.Did I miss something!!I know rumors are rumors but this was more then that .Now it’s being toned down.I mean did the company not hire enough replacements fast enough or did they just not plan for the loss of an entire older work force .Just very odd don’t matter I suppose we have a 4 year extension but what changed in few months

It’s now mid-August and no VERP has come out yet. Little birdie, please spill the beans if you know something. Does anyone have any credible information on a VERP coming, and if so, when?

Heard some internal chatter. Anyone?

Here’s a cleaned-up, more coherent version that keeps your original tone and meaning:

Rumors started about 60 days ago of a possible CEO change, a bonus for employees after a record quarter, and Mondays working from home.

I’d been hearing the CEO-replacement rumor for a while and was hoping it would happen, but it looks like a big fat no. So when I first heard whispers about a bonus, my reaction was “Oh he-l no… HE-L no.” I was pleasantly surprised when that one turned out to be true.

As for Mondays working from home—I’d be surprised if it actually happens, but I don’t think it’s completely off the table. The company is global and we aren’t needed in the office every day, so it could be a real work-life-balance perk. The whispers about it are growing the same way the bonus rumors did, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Still, I’m disappointed the CEO is still here.

(And glad you can use an AI agent after having an IT person come in and type it in for you.)

Rumors flying that employees will be called back to the office soon. What are you hearing?

Go into linkedin and look up:

"Dell's rumored layoffs land on a workforce that never stopped shrinking"

The article talks about a rumored 6000 to 15000 people to be laid off. It's based on rumor and the rumor is that it will be concentrated in ISG Presales and Overlay Sales roles. According to the author, it may be confirmed in direction but not in scale.

any news about coming rumours?

I have heard of a merger with the PSLs. From 12 to 8 PSLs. This has come with layoffs. Can someone confirm this? What is going on? There is always something happening. I read the other chat saying it could be because of Shannon taking over Jeff.

What are the big changes we should expect at the start of the new financial year? Maybe put a 'rumor' or 'confirmed' at the start of your post so we know what you think.

Been hearing rumors of prod ops taking over and running the plants. Who has heard this?

Has anyone heard anything about all Latin America Division now being managed out of Canon Mexico under Andy Ikeda? They made him President of Mexico, Chile and Panama. And one director said that LAD has less than 1 year left.

Are there any ongoing layoffs today? The gates of the Bellevue buildings are up.

I heard Aug 18 for the layoffs in the US (a little birdie told me). Reorg shortly after.

Anyone from any call center being laid off? I saw so many threads saying we “should be worried and no ones safe” yet everyone i know from the call center is still here and not laid off

I heard a rumor that Televox/Mosaicx was finally sold.

Has anyone heard credible information about rumours that the London office may close in 2–3 years when the lease expires, similar to what happened with the Australia office (skeleton team)?

Would appreciate any insight.

Anyone know what this is about?
Since LinkedIn shows I worked at DFS I've received multiple junk mails with this request.

I'm looking to get in touch with you regarding Discover Financial Services. We have a family office that is looking at investing in Discover Financial Services's industry.

Are you available this week to discuss the opportunity?

Are we thinking a big announcement or just quiet cuts? My org has hired quite a few in the last quarter, so confused what’s going on here. Not convinced they’ll be doing any major LRs as of now.

I am KY UM Medicaid any word. We have continued to asked and been told that there is no reason to worry we are busy. Also that vsp were not approved until September of next year. Which I did not believe.

So seeing all the RIF posts from today. Anyone from NJ? Have you heard anything about Fidelis NJ?
