#thanksgiving

It’s the time of the year again

Everybody that’s scheduled to work on thanksgiving please don’t show up !!! A lot of us will not show up for the stupid ridiculous cellphone policy !!! Everybody call out !!!

For those celebrating the US Thanksgiving holiday (and all others of course), wishing you the best! I hope that despite the circumstances, you can share time, laughter, and love with those closest to you this week. At the end of the day, this is what matters most. God bless.

I'm thankful that I survived another week at this place. I need these two days off coming up this week just to try to survive until I can get my EIP in March and leave. I set this as my main goal for myself and hope many of you will do the same. Get out of this soul ki-ling place. It seeps into every aspect of your life and the toxic environment corrupts everything it touches. Do not convince yourself this is the way things have to be, this is not living, it is just surviving until the next week. Waiting for the next calamity, next insane idea, next toxic leader or next reassignment inyo a horrible role. Sad place....this Snake Farm!

I joined four months ago, I'd just like to know if Schwab ever has layoffs around Thanksgiving and Christmas or if there is no need to worry before next year?

Hey, all flex people! Don't forget that Maurice expects you to be in the office Monday through Wednesday this week, since Thursday and Friday take the place of your 2 WFH days!

Seeing all the LinkedIn updates from everyone impacted is breaking my heart. I hope Vz leaders who made all this possible are also seeing these. And why right before Thanksgiving? Truely sickening. Lost faith in this company and the people up top.

Time to go home now for the relaxing weekend. See you all on Monday. Taking a few days off before Thanksgiving. A week for Christmas too to spend some time in Florida. Need some aqua therapy.

LOB Technology

Things never change with this company! Each year, our hours keep getting shorter, yet the workload remains the same, and they still expect everything to be completed. They assume salaried managers will handle it all, but those who work the hardest often burn out quickly. Meanwhile, others seem to get by without any consequences. If you were hoping to earn some extra money for the holidays, be aware that you might only be scheduled to work the day after Thanksgiving—and only if there are call-outs from permanent employees.

Long term loyal employees are professionals and do understand the changing business environment. If the business has a need and decide to send them out, atleast pick a decent time to do it, well before or after Thanksgiving week.

Don't punch them hard in their face 2 days before Thanksgiving, they have to show their face to their family when they get home.

I just got word this suppose Thursday deadline is just rumor. This is postponed our another month as more high level discussions occur. So just relax enjoy thanksgiving.

What a chicken. A product of nepotism and corruption at its finest. He's been silent after firing all the whistleblowers.

On a serious note, I hope everyone has a splendid Thanksgiving.

How are you already telling me as a fresh managers my hours will be cut for Thanksgiving week how is that even possible and as a produce lead I have to make sure produce, deli, and freezer cooler looks good everyday smhhhhhh.

Currently working Hybrid and been told that Thursday is remote day while Tuesday and Wednesday are office days.

Def not a coincidence even if they want to frame it as early thanksgiving break.

Lets have more layoffs before Txgiving and Xmas so we all can be done with this craphole once and for all

“You don’t have to come in, you can work remote through thanksgiving”

What about the 5 dollar burger special on Thursday??

What events are planned at your office in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday? My floor is having a potluck lunch.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if people got cut just days before either holiday, which would be the cruelest timing imaginable.

Following up to Melvin’s email about SNAP benefits being held and people not being able to put food on the table. He has decided to give each employee a Turkey for Thanksgiving. He thought, what would Jesus do? And it was clear this was the answer. God bless us all and God bless Melvin’s generosity.

Doing this the week before a major holiday makes it more depressing. Not just for those on their way out but for the peers who are left behind to pick up the pieces until the next set of RIFs. Put us out of misery and tell us sooner

anyone hearing another round of layoffs before Thanksgiving ?

1 on 1 with my manager today and he made 2 comments:

• Confirmed another round of US cuts the first week of December.

• No input on who will be cut from the lower levels - higher execs making the decisions based on whatever metrics they see (which are usually garbage).

Enjoy Thanksgiving because you may get roasted that first week if December!

Pre holidays RIF is coming fasten your seatbelts

It’s starting. Layoffs until Thanksgiving.
I was told I have to work through the whole month of November to receive severance. This place sux! Totally blindsided. Wish us all good luck!

Any rumours on the upcoming layoffs in Cambridge?

Had heard some chatter for US Thanksgiving and AutoFair time line.

Last one for this year - another 5 to 7k to Let go, Majorly in US, Silent announcement will follow in the next few Business Days = Thanks Giving Reward for the Employees (Rember next 2 to 3 years there will be a Huge Reorg is going to happen, that will be beyond what we have seen this year, this is just tip off the Ice berg)

Company must be falling apart, they want to make sure people don't get paid for Thanksgiving the next week (monsters) Got to ensure BH gets all $40M

Product not producing anything pu--c safely wants . PDEs failing. Gov oversight not happy. Numbers continue decline. Subs are Verizon and TMO rejects. 15% will get notices week before Thanksgiving. WFH employees are top of cut list. Freloads will get there comeuppance. Curmudgeon managers safe. Not sure why or how there. One of you must no more. Spill the tea. Hold the sugar. Hope fiber and 5g fair better.

FBS is over with now, so it'll get busy up until the week before TG holiday, then I use 3-4 weeks (or whatever is left, which is usually about 4 weeks) of PTO and take every Monday and Friday off the rest of the year.

My medical exmption RTO ends in November so, 3 days in for 2 hours each, then 1 day in the rest of the year after TG!

YAAAAS QUEEN, SLAY!

Is anyone able to enter availability for the weeks of thanksgiving and Christmas? I keep checking daily and for those two specific weeks, theres an “error”. All other weeks are fine.

“This time of year has always been a welcome reminder to my family and me around the importance of gratitude. Wishing a very happy #Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today.”.

And I will soon show you my gratitude by laying a bunch of you off!
