as low as morale is, it will continue to plummet as our stock price mirrors our glorious demise under the newly appointed leadership

@fk oh you will train that AI! Whether you want to or not. You’re going to.
@r0 the average Joe complains about how AI is ruining their entertainment. The company will eventually adopt AI en masse.
The bigger question is why do our governments not seemingly give a sh-t about its impact.. ponder that for a ehile and it becomes pretty obvious with current world events.
@11n well I would say break a leg to you Americans but a broken leg with no healthcare sounds like capital punishment.
Good luck I guess
My recommendation, follow Alaskas lead and unionize. Its the only way to put the greedy incompetent executives in check.
@1f1 your right. “WARN notice requires a 60 day public notice of mass layoff or plant closure event with 100+ employees, helping workers and communities prepare. “
@1cb is it required when the vast majority wont actually be let go until middle of next year? Immediate layoffs are going to be rare.
Well I'mm certain most of us are ready for a package. The morale is trash here. They expect you take on different roles for the same pay not even a pay raise. Job market is good just have to look.
@11n There hasn't been a WARN notice filed, so that should give indication as to size of layoffs occurring.
Yes more layoffs in Houston
They are doing targeted smaller layoff for certain groups. No announcement, they just happen.
Morale is almost as low as the new CEO’s qualifications
@r0 Has another layoff/restructuring round been announced in US? Or is it a strong hallway rumour? The low morale comments indicate concerns on job security.
Morale feels as low as I can remember. Cost discipline matters, but constant uncertainty and repeated cuts can have consequences that do not show up neatly on a spreadsheet.
They may appear later in lower productivity, more mistakes, greater safety risk and good people deciding to leave. Those who remain are often unfairly left carrying more, which wears people down further and sours culture.
There is also an uncomfortable reality that the fear of losing one’s livelihood is felt rather differently by someone on an ordinary salary than by those near or at the very top. For many employees, redundancy is not an abstract efficiency measure. It affects mortgages, families and financial security.
Add the growing emphasis on outsourcing, automation and AI and it is understandable that people feel increasingly replaceable. The savings may look sensible on paper whilst the longer-term cost is weaker performance, higher risk and a gradual loss of the company’s spirit.
Surely they will have to have some sort of retention bonus to get people to stay unless the job market out there is complete garbage as others have said.
Because you are a mo--n. People are about to get notified that they are being replaced by some individual in India. Meanwhile, you must stay and train your replacement before you get your severance.
The name of the game has been step on others heads to stand out. CEP turns out wasn’t about process improvement, but just a thinly veiled layoff. Processes remain the same , just less people to do them. There were some streamlining outcomes of CEP that haven’t been implemented almost a year later. I mean, what did those work streams do in all of 2025?
@d3 might have something to do with another horribly executed layoff right around the corner. Maybe it's having to train your offshore replacement before you get your severance. Maybe it's the company offshoring all of those jobs in the 1st place. Take your pick.
Why is morale low? Stock price is high, oil & gas prices are high, profits are high….
At an all-time low, but at the same time, as high as it's ever going to be again. What a wonderful company...
Lowest as long as I've been around
