There’s trouble coming

When Ford issues press releases like this and the Freep publishes them as “news” and doesn’t put them behind the paywall something bad is brewing. When Ford is sending out all kinds of happy press releases it’s a warning sign.

I hope everybody is looking for a new job

We all know major cuts are coming, the only question is when. It's much easier to find a new job when you're already employed. And trust me, the job market is so bad right now that you don't want to be stuck looking for a job while unemployed with so many others in our field already out of work and looking.


IP Address Tracking is now live for RTO

Just an FYI. Our division head was told Friday, IP address tracking and log in times are now being used to cross check FULL days in office. The reporting has always been around, senior management is now reviewing on a monthly basis.
There is discussion regarding adding a dropdown when logging in as well. Attesting when you are logging in, In Office or Remote.

I’ve never worked at a place where they put this much effort into trying to punish employees.


Do not trust fellows

After leaving Chevron, I learned the hard way that you really need to be careful about who you trust. Even people who seem very supportive, offering to help with your resume, connect you to Society of Petroleum Engineers committees, review papers, or ask about your job search may not always have your best interests in mind.

Please protect your information. Don’t share detailed resumes, job search updates, new company plans, or paper drafts unless you fully trust the person and understand why they need that information. Keep things professional and limited.


The AI wave is coming!

Teams that have not begun deploying practical AI solutions for workflow automation, decision support, or cost optimization should expect increasing pressure to do so. Enterprise trends show AI initiatives are quickly shifting from optional innovation projects to core operational expectations tied to efficiency and budget discipline.

Waiting too long typically reduces a team’s ability to influence how AI is implemented. Instead of shaping use cases that fit their processes, they risk having centrally mandated tools introduced on compressed timelines.

Although current AI intake and governance processes may feel slow or overly complex, that friction is temporary. As organizations pursue measurable productivity improvements, broader and more standardized AI deployment is likely approaching. You have been warned!

RSUs for Riffed Employees

I have been carefully watching the status of RSUs due to being riffed. I have a screen shot of RSU units and estimated value at that time. The severance FAQ document Q.33 indicates that RSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will pay out at their vested rate in 60-90 days after severance.

WARNING: What is not stated .... is that all your RSU's will be frozen at stock value as of 12/19/2025 (last day of employment). Meaning -- what is distributed (arbitrarily and in the last few weeks) is now where near the estimated vested rate per Fidelty in November or December.


Watch your 401-K Match

If you have been recently laid off or left on your own, double check your vesting amount especially if you Rollover your account. I was fully vested as I had been with TD a long time past the vesting requirement before I left. I received an email in December telling me I needed to rollover my account or make an election by a certain time period or my account would be closed and I would basically receive a check for the balance. I rolled it, but then I was missing a large sum of money which was the match portion as if I wasn’t vested. I called Fidelity and they agreed I had been vested for awhile and they reached out to TD to refund me. I’m still waiting on my money and following up. I’m hoping I’m just a clerical error, but I just wanted to throw a heads up in case I’m not.


Early Warning

Managers in design centre are prepping for job cuts. Design usually runs lean, and misses the cuts happening in the rest of the company. If this is correct, GM is in trouble. Design has been told in the past that if studios are cutting there are issues coming.


A final warning for anyone still here

If you're still at CVS, you should already be looking for an exit. It's not bouncing back. They will keep cutting until there's nothing left but a shell that can't operate. When it finally collapses, it will take everyone still here down with it. Get out before you're left with nothing.


Any reliable info on what’s coming?

I mean something useful and at least somewhat credible. We all know major layoffs are coming, so it would be great to have a heads-up. And let’s be kind to each other, losing our jobs would be tough. The job market out there isn’t exactly cheerful or full of options.
