Time and attendance warnings/termination

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.


Warning to Experienced Hires

It still hurts to see a decade of work stolen. I realized too late that I was hired to do the heavy lifting for others who took advantage of me. (Those who are adept at managing up but made little contributions.) The real disappointment was to see former co-workers who passed off my work as their own because of their lack of competency just to survive the ranking. If they go that then have the decency to acknowledge me when they published or present my work.

Yeah, I know some people only show up for the paycheck. But if you care about these things, then don’t work here.


Pay attention to signs

At my last job, we had been restructuring, updating manuals, doing extra audits, but I brushed it off. Then one coworker got cut. Soon, discussions about automating tasks began. A month later I was handed the pink slip. Looking back, the warning signs were glaring. Only I didn’t want to admit it. Painful lesson. Make sure not to repeat it.


Hughes layoffs....again

My manager told me that another BIG round of layoffs is happening in mid Nov, approved by people very high up......And then again in Q1...... 66% in previous post was not a lie..... it will be the ultimate goal by Q2 2026...... Everyone should START LOOKING FOR JOBS. All the best


WTW Exit Survey

Obviously if you got this "error" email, you are on the layoff list.
If you got the email before 8am CST then get your resume polished. If you got it after, then you are probably ok. They sent some extra ones out to throw us off the scent. HR is putting all their braincells together to cover this up.
It went to your personal email.


Layoffs will start next week in Alvarado.

Tomorrow is Monday and a very important week at JRC. A PGL told me that layoffs will take place Thursday and Friday. If you work in FE/RXT and SP, get ready. You won't have a job next Monday. Serious business. Don't dismiss this.

Don't say you weren't warned b


State of Emergency in NJ

Remain off the roads-so does that mean we all WFH on Monday?

TRENTON – Acting Governor Tahesha Way today declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025 in preparation for a dangerous nor’easter storm expected to hit the state on Sunday, October 12 and continue into Monday, October 13. Parts of the state are forecasted to experience moderate to major coastal flooding, instances of inland flash flooding, sustained winds of up to 60 mph, localized precipitation of up to five inches, and very high surf potentially causing significant beach erosion and dune breaching. Executive Order No. 399 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey.

“Starting on Sunday, a dangerous coastal storm will begin to move past our state with extreme weather conditions for several counties, especially those on the Shore,” said Acting Governor Way. “In preparation for this storm, I am issuing a State of Emergency for all 21 counties out of an abundance of caution, authorizing our state’s emergency services personnel to activate as necessary. I urge all New Jerseyans to exercise caution, monitor local weather forecasts and warnings, stay informed on evacuation protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.”

Executive Order No. 399 will remain in effect until it is determined that an emergency no longer exists.


Peak

This is how I see things going from a logical point of view. Look up what happens within a company before layoffs. Wayfair is going through a good portion of the list they say to watch for. I think most if us will be safe until after peak. They are moving around a lot of employees right now. If you think you are safe because you are a top performer think again. View the the list. Top performers are not safe. We are expensive. Be careful. They will look for any reason to let us go. They will be letting go of a percentage of us before the new year. Better for the bottom line and more profits for the last quarter. Many more after peak. Do your own research on the signs. Good Luck.


Something to keep in mind right now

Job scams on the rise as layoffs surge in US

  • Job scams have risen by 118% in recent years as layoffs continue to rise this year.
  • A study found Nevada to be the most vulnerable state when it comes to job scams.
  • You can try to avoid job scams by staying alert and doing your research.

Unlike this board, the stock market doesn’t lie

CDW’s is now officially dead money — the stock is down ~25% over the past year while the S&P 500 is up 16%, and Q2 showed revenue up 10% on a layup of a number reset but operating income was down 3% thanks to “margin pressure”. Hard to get excited when the CEO’s big vision looks like “steady hand” and “all weather team” while everyone else is lapping CDW in the rally. CEO should pivot to the AI trade, but they won’t. Jump ship if you can. Bets are that this quarter will be equally unimpressive.


What were the signs?

To all folks who have been laid off or know someone who was laid off by Cigna, what were the signs?

I’m talking about everything you noticed from management disengagement, anything “off” or not that lead to that last minute meeting

This could be helpful to reduce shock value to a lot of us who will probably get that WebEx meeting sometime in the future.


Florida issues H-1B visa warning

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/florida-issues-h-1b-visa-warning/ar-AA1Ll7jB?ocid=socialshare

" H-1B, it's become a total scam," he said. These companies game the system. You have some of these companies that are laying off large numbers of Americans while they're also getting new H-1 Bs and renewing existing H-1 Bs. A lot of times people used to say: 'well you know we're getting the cream of the crop from all around the world.' The reality is that's not actually what H1Bs are, most of them (H-1Bs) are from one country, India, there's a cottage industry about how all those people make money off this system".


Think ahead now before it's too late

We all know cuts are coming, don’t wait to be surprised. Build up your savings, put more into retirement if you can, and quietly explore new roles. Landing something new can take longer than you expect, especially with the current job market, and remote options are drying up fast. Having a backup plan now is far better than scrambling later.
