The Ohio and Riverwoods based Discover Card Technology teams took a decent hit today. Sent them an email to join a meeting this morning and gave them the news, then said there would be a meeting later in the day with the severance details. It’s late in the day and still no details - lol. Class act!

Any location getting impacted in Tech BE? as per tim email only 14 Technology locations MDs and Ds are involved in discussions? does it mean they will cut other locations?

It's going to be a bloodbath. 10% in technology.

The O9 system is a complete piece of sh-t. The high-and-mighty leaders spent several million dollars on this system every year. thinking it would replace Excel and reduce the workload for planners. In reality, every planner now has double the workloads. Leaders now hope AI can take all over.

Since FDS can't manage asset recovery for sht I am grateful for the spanking new machine. Your fault for not locking the BIOS ye tools

What Ai tools does AT&T allow for developers?

What functionality still runs on the mainframe and what has been ported to Cloud?

I don't see any value add for Business analyst, scrum masters in tech groups. Specially in AI era, these positions are redundant and can be completely eliminated.

So Anderson says AIG is ready to grow... Are we going to buy other companies or what? I wonder if they will finally manage to create a working IT infrastructure with AI that actually helps people and doesn't drag them down

I'm in PI and feel like it's only a matter of time. They already introduced an ai system that tracks and grades all of our calls last year... wouldn't be surprised if they're training an llm off of thousands of the top rated calls catalogued across the company.

Has anyone else experienced more health issues this year (or with their team/peers), since the “8 hour” rule was threatened? I’ve personally been sick a couple times since Jan 1 and that’s very odd for me. After reflecting, the only thing that’s really changed is being around so many people in the office, especially so many from India. Specifically this has been in Technology (Charlotte).

What’s your insight? Let’s put it here.

What is it?

All rural fiber needs to stop being placed . Satellite is the most cost effective and starlink is about to take on a lot of new country fans after seeing starlink advertisements during the NASCAR race ! I need my T stock to go up and I just don’t think we need to place fiber too far past city limits for a couple connections. It is not cost effective… I know because I am in C&E in the South y’all. Does anyone have starlink tha could compare the service to fiber ?

It can’t even do basic task. It will keep throwing random responses or that it can’t help with anything. Total waste of time!
It’s more like chatbot from 2017 than chatbot from 2026..

Can't integrate out tools and acquisition but bring AI in to fix everything

Is it true that the once exclusive CPQ quote tool is now being used by the dealers?

If so, when did that start?

Naming the new Webex devices after himself, G2, is next level trolling. Congrats

Earthquake level layoffs in Technology

We have invested so much on an awesome team and leadership in PC chips

What does this mean for the US jobs?

So now that AP has had all of its powers stripped and the new boss has laid off all of oversight, restructured technology to lay off people, and cut all of the district taskforce teams to replace only some of them with 1 investigator, how do we all think this is going to pan out?

I doubt his desperate attempt to offset the future losses (from his policies) by cost cutting everywhere else will not work. I expect store AP teams to start being cut by end of FY26 to cover for increased theft.

Also, what a great idea to cut technology! Not like 80-90% of the stores are running equipment from the late 90s that barely works or doesn’t work at all. This company loves to talk big about investing in our stores when they haven’t provided a comprehensive investment to safety & security in the last 30 years.

Someone mentioned a few days ago about being able to see site visit data in splunk. Anyone know how that is done? What splunk is that? What's the index?

About a year ago I was talking about MU and the eminent shortage in memory to a Director level dude, his response, 'they're still around?'. That right there tells you all you need to know about the direction of this company. There are a lot of people in high places making important decisions that don't actually care or even understand technology. Middle management has a severe lack of vision and probably accountability.

Heard a rumor that budgets have been drastically cut and Technology is barely functional. Rats have started abandoning the ship too. Any truth to this?

$1 trillion valuation first for non tech company. Stock thru the roof. And here is Nike claiming to be a tech company under JD and continuing to underwhelm both in tech and product.
Sure it's not a 1 to 1 comparison but goes to show competent leadership can weather headwinds like tariffs which if anything expose Walmart equally if not more! And BTW a lot of the Walmart growth is attributed to astute use of technology.
Few years back had the opportunity to join Walmart tech, back then Nike was the cool kid so I didn't consider it... Dang it!

Meta announced 1,500 job cuts, primarily within its Reality Labs division. The company is reassessing its long-term virtual reality and metaverse investments. CFO Susan Li stated Reality Labs spending will now focus more on wearables. This shift includes shutting down VR gaming studios and cancelling content initiatives. Wearables, especially smart glasses, have shown stronger market demand for Meta.

Peloton Interactive Inc., the long-struggling fitness technology company, slashed 11% of its workforce in a cost-cutting move, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

16k layoffs at Amazon, totaling 30k over the past year, or ~10%. The most important thing he said in the video was this (paraphrasing):

They are laying off AI Safety researchers and security experts in lieu of hiring more pure developers with a primary goal of automating as much as they possibly can. It would be prudent to watch these tech companies who are leading the pack and understand that what they are doing is a preview of what is to come.

Another 15% cut in Technology LOB, seriously?
