#updates

I heard rumors of changes coming to commission… anyone else? I’m hoping it’s just rumors! My Supervisor says she hasn’t heard… but let’s be honest… would they say anything?

It could be a chilly summer season.

Nearing the end of the year and making some headway.

VLO: +33%
MPC: +29%
PSX: +19%

3 Year:
MPC: +91%
VLO: +64%
PSX: +63%

Any updates appreciated.

I know you are out there. What changes are they making to how comp reviews are done in January? I noticed HR didn't update the comp ranges this year, those ranges that show the min, mid, max. Those are usually done by now.

I’ve heard timelines all over the place, from now through March. Has anything new or reliable come out?

Another round effective today.

The news of today’s company-wide layoffs, which impacted most business units, is a difficult blow for our team, the industry, and especially those directly affected. The cuts were heavily concentrated in customer-facing positions, customer support, and engineering, signaling a strategic shift that is raising serious concerns among customers, partners, and investors.

The Elephant in the Room: SAP and the Rule of 40. Reports have been circulating that our executives are aggressively optimizing the company to meet the Rule of 40 financial benchmark, a common metric for SaaS companies where a company’s revenue growth rate plus its profit margin should equal at least 40%. This comes amid rumors of a potential buyout offer from SAP.

This approach prioritizes a quick financial metric over the long-term health of the business. Investors, partners, and especially customers should be asking: What value remains in a company that sacrifices the people who build, support, and sell the product for a short-term multiple?

My thoughts are with all of the incredibly talented individuals impacted by today's news.

Hi, any word on today’s layoffs? I am on vacay this week, but kinda stressing. Anyone got updates?
I heard it's not going to be pretty at all.

Any news?

I’m already getting cryptic comments in meetings and people are talking. If you hear anything before whatever change is coming next week, post it here!

TIA

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• oct01-oct29: 1950 layoffs, 1689 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports, no public info about other locations available)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

So, on Monday we have a Consumer Group all-hands with Sampath. Immediately followed by one with DK for Value. I normally hate all-hands calls, but this should be interesting. Any bets on topics?

Happening or not? Any updates?

What happened with poor clients who were onboarded to this technological marvel just before they announced DXC is giving up on it?

Saw a few of these posts about 5 day RTO in January and there’s supposed to be an email coming out soon. Anyone have info on this?

Anyone hear anything about what March 2026 will bring for Connect Week schedule changes?

Alpharetta Switch here. Nothing so far other than 2 folks.

What are the plans for Channel ACD, I2B,D2D etc?? Any heads rolling??????

Please join us for the next TAAP Town Hall on December 10.

We'll share strategic business updates and news to keep you informed as we prepare for what's ahead in 2026.

We'll also reserve time for Q&A to address any questions you may have. If you have a question for the TAAP leadership team, submit it here by December 9.

We look forward to seeing you there.

I work in one of the VCG departments. I can’t share specifics because we were told to keep this private. But SDs and ADs were pulled into a meeting with their VP and notified their teams are all safe. Similar meetings are happening all across the org this morning so you should likely be getting an update soon. If you don’t hear anything that might be a bad sign…

Does anyone know about surest lay offs? Any updates would be appreciated

If everything crashes again on Thursday, I swear my heart is going to give out from the stress, because with the total lack of real communication from leadership, this place is the only spot where I can even try to figure out what’s going on. I’m begging the universe not to let this fall apart on D-day, because losing this one source of updates would push the anxiety into a whole different level.

Any updates or confirmation on RIF November 20th?

Please update here if someone get any information from the management. Bit difficult to stay focus with rumors.

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

We used to see people in Basking Ridge on here with updates of leaders or teams that they saw impacted. This time its quiet.

Ok instead of having staff constantly look over their shoulder and wonder if they’ll be a RIF casualty, why not send out periodic emails to keep employees in the loop? Heck we got daily emails when COVID struck. If not they shouldn’t have mentioned 11/20 in the first place…I mean it’s good in the sense it gives us time to update our resume but it also stirs up fear and paranoia for several weeks.

Update following 3Q earnings (1year returns) and an updated investor presentation:

Delek 142%
VLO 32%
MPC 30%
PBF 25%
PSX 13%

Any updates from the Tech AMA in St. Louis on the 6th?

What’s happening?

We were told more info is coming December. Anybody know exactly what we are being told then?

Has anyone gotten anymore recent updates on potential upcoming layoffs?

Does anyone have any information about what was going to happen in December with compensation? The messaging we got was that it is just a salary update for some people but not for everyone. Initially we had thought it would be across the board.

Our team got butchered in software and we're still concerned if all notifications have been sent out and it's just waiting on the interview or if more are coming?
