One of the reasons that Franklin Templeton employees about to be laid off got shifted to service Heritage clients is because the staffing was so poor in the face of more incoming calls, FIS clients such as Victory Funds were unhappy with the hold times and delays in service. This is why FT took back their calls. The question is rhetorical: are there any happy clients out there?

For everyone stressing about losing your job, stop worrying and start planning.

When the Marcus massacre hit in August of 2022, I knew we were entering a new era. Right then I made peace with the fact that none of us were safe. I went into uber saving mode, paid off as much debt as possible, didn’t make any large purchases like cars or houses. I just saved!

Fast forward almost 4 years, I survived countless “reorgs” , staff reductions, etc. watched lots of friends and coworkers leave for no good reason. My luck ran out and I was RIFd a couple months ago. I’ve taken the time off and relaxed, it took a couple weeks for it to really sink in. But once I had purged the toxicity of that place and could see it for what it really was, I was happy.

I drive my kids to school every morning, work out every morning, drink coffee and read or listen to music. I spend an hour or so looking at job opportunities. And also thinking about going back to school because why not.

Don’t stress, just make peace that you’re going to get hit eventually. Save, Save, & save and be prepared.

Well folks, My team at T has been losing staff like dominos. No one got fired but they voluntarily chose to not do RTO and retire. Some did RTO and retired. I liked ATT for the people and the culture. I see the people I work with leaving and the culture dying. I am mid 40s and still got a long time for retirement. That loner feeling is kicking in me as I work virtual and not sure whether to stay or leave.

Citi should dump them and keep FTE.

This contrasts with public assurances from leadership. Declining student numbers and state funds lead to financial pressure. Specific teaching and administrative roles are targeted for removal.

A lot of chatter of PayPal employee count compared to the rest of the industry. For those working there, or personally familiar, do you feel 24k+ people justified? Why so many more compared to, say, Block or especially RobinHood?

I hope by now the company sees the value in having a count team! Shrink is out the roof in most clubs or hidden! THERE IS NO ONE TO FOCUS ON IT! PAYING 3 GUYS $170,000 A YEAR VS. SHRINKING OUT TRIPLE THAT! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! Team leads are stretched to thin for all that responsibility

I know the budgets for the store teams came out, but have the budgets for the management team came out? Or any changes in jobs for managers/captains. Any layoffs or role changes being talked about?

With Pune announcing they will stop working at 11pm their time around 12:30pm EST,
NYC teams are scrambling as the teams do NOT have appropriate staffing to perform the job or experience due to all the layoffs over the past years.

We are so short-staffed right now it's unreal. I'm not sure who they're hiring these days, but the new folks in my store have zero experience and just stand around for most of the day. It's nothing like it used to be. It makes the job ten times harder for the rest of us.

Gainwell responsibilities are shifting to Abacus and that means Gainwell staff will be reduced to account for the shift is the staffing model change. There was a townhall Thursday where Pinky pretty much told us that some of us will be moving on because the current staffing model will reduce the number of people in the new Abacus model. I mean, if people don't get the clue by that then they deserve to stay and suffer.

Belk is no longer terminating associates anymore for time and attendance issues (late clock in, call outs ect), we were told that because of staffing shortages that associates can only be terminated for egregious wrongdoing (theft ect..). If we terminated every Associate with time and attendance warnings we would literally have no associates left.

Regionals should be let go too. What CVS doesn't need is another useless middle management position crabbing about metrics. That's exactly what's wrong with CVS. DL's are bad, regional directors are worse. Stores do not need constant micromanaging. What stores need is support in the form of hours and staffing, and better wages/benefits. Field leadership adds ZERO value to stores when all they do is crab at you because you didn't meet some arbitrary metric of the month. Meanwhile there's only 2 people working and it's crazy busy. Store visits by higher-ups are nothing but dog and pony shows because they don't want to see how things really are. And THAT'S why field leaders need to go.
