#silencefromleadership

Back from 3days off & 1 of my colleagues is gone..layed off my other colleague told me. the dreaded vvv..on their email. No email, no talk no anything to team from our manger. This place is unreal.. Wove almost dead & going to pasture. How many more casualties?

With October 2nd just a week away, I still haven't heard when/where/how I am turning in my.company car and equipment, what our schedule will be, or what the plan is since FTOW were told this week that the program starts the 1st. I've also heard of MOD changes as well.
Absolute radio silence from my DM. I have reached out to them and havent heard anything back.
Have any SRs that are leaving recieved any details about next week yet?
I have talked to HR about the paperwork but nothing on the subjects I listed above.

VBG. Not hearing anything about anyone getting laid off yet.

EOM

they just lock everything and thats it no communication wow !
slack is already down by about 4k person

Regrettably this RIF/layoff will be kept quiet and the details of how many and where will never become a part of the public domain. To the rest of the world it never happened

It’s so weird. We are still trying to work with whatever we have but there is no direction or communication from leadership.

The silence and consistent cancelation of meetings or pushing out is a clear indication of what we have all experienced before. They will continue to get paid as advisors long after so just update resume and fill in the time. Don't expect employee loyalty to mean anything. Proud of the time but not confident in their leadership.

I am surprised the board is silent with all things that are happening. I guess there is more chatter on Paramount Global's page - Good luck all.

I find it rather bizarre that there is no acknowledgment anywhere on CNet about the pending departures of so many people, or who is leaving. I took the VSP and feel bad for everyone else- those left behind and those forced out.

I’m seeing so many sudden departures this week! And everyone appears to be saying nice things about their experience in Exxonmobil….

Are most of these PILs? If so, I know ppl don’t want to burn bridges, but perhaps consider departing silently, so that more innocent ppl on LinkedIn don’t get deceived that this is such a wonderful place to work?

Seems too quiet

No communication no clear updates and Jennifer is no where to be seen apart from a low impact appearance on an all hands with a teleprompter.

Is this really good enough?

No word from Enrique since restructuring and layoffs were announced. No word from him when Stripe made their ridiculous offer. Time is up. Earnings call is tomorrow, our CEO can no longer be hiding. Hopefully he was too busy working on a big plan to turnaround the company and will take everyone by surprise... Or maybe not...

any updates?

It’s been pretty quiet at P66 lately. Is this the calm before the storm?

Anyone heard back from their supervisor yet?

Did any managers or Directors receive the VSP email?

PLs have been completely silent and nonexistent about the VSP.

Has anyone heard from their leadership regarding all this? Ours has been radio silent since the announcement email from Sarah came out.

Has anyone received ANY additional information from their leadership team?

I guess I expected a quick meeting, some type of update or check in, something.

Layoffs not totally surprising. The dead silence from any level of leadership is the more telling aspect. This round immediately after the close of the voice of the employee surveys!

Is the fact there's not much chatter a positive sign or just the calm before the storm?

Question in title. Alleged rumors that everything is supposed to be kept quiet for awhile

It's really quiet in my org, no notifications, nothing. Is it possibly done already?

Hearing from a few people that another round may hit by EOM ( May) or sometime in June... word going arund is bottom 10% and retirements could be part of it. Sounds like calibration season all over again.

Business transformation was supposedly the big reset, but now people are saying more org changes and headcount reductions are still coming.

Anyone else hearing this in IT, Finance, Commercial, HR, or the plants?

Feels like management already knows more than they are saying. Same pattern as last time. Silence for months, then sudden announcements.

So today those that requested VRIF get told yes or no. It is mid afternoon in Europe already and still silence. I guess they are going to push the 14th May date to be as late as possible in the day just to be “respectful” which is how Louis described the process would be.

Over 25+ years building the superior fiber broadband residential network. Engineering A+. Yet in MDUs and SFUs Vz has less than 50% of broadband customers.

Based on observation... same tired marketing tactics being used today as when first rolled out. This is a direct failure of VPs and Directors in those MDU and SFU organizations.

Much talent has left and listening to remaining Marketing/Sales Directors in the MDU/SFU space its obvious waisted CapEx remains.

Time for Dan to inject new blood and support Engineering build.

It seems no one has mentioned layoffs in the First Friday Slack channel. People usually say or inquire about it. Only the sycophants were sending messages, it seems.

Posts on this site are personal reactions to what BNY employees are actually living through.

The feedback here is about executive leadership’s silence around McKinsey‑driven cost restructuring, real‑estate closures and consolidations, RTO used as a filtering mechanism, and a culture that’s become increasingly toxic and opaque. People aren’t imagining this; they’re documenting it in real-time.

When raises and bonuses are insignificant, when communication is intentionally vague, and when “efficiency” becomes a euphemism for unannounced layoffs, employees are going to talk — especially when leadership won’t. That’s why this forum looks the way it does. It’s not about traffic or ad revenue. It’s because BNY associates have nowhere else to get honest information about what’s happening behind the curtain.

If leadership communicated transparently, this board wouldn’t have to do the job for them.

My manager is visibly silent, the mood in rest of the group seems better though.

He seems more quiet, non participating in discussions.

Anyone else confirm with their manager?

not till monday, make us suffer over the weekend?

just for the 'fun' of it?

at least MD gave the all clear for riffs on Tues, then we at least knew we had a job, lateral move, in some cases a raise.....but this nothing till Mon?

guess we wait.

seriously this place....

Nothing yet. Had ANYONE got an HR meeting tomorrow yet?

I've heard nothing.

I think the next 2 weeks will be quiet- hr is processing all of the ALST layoffs from the sale- not everyone was picked up by the new company.

it's the days where nobody says anything that hurts the most

Kind of eerie how slack has gone silent, meetings are canceling, parking lot is sparse and there is no work going on.
I would think it wasn’t a great idea for the new tech leaders to announce layoffs 2 months ago with no timeframe or updates since. That type of blunder alone that caused such low work output should put them on the chopping block.

Yes yes to those of you working 80 hours a week, you’re amazing. We see you. You matter.

It’s been awfully quiet lately, any updates?
