Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

Town hall was only 15 minutes and only sent to TPX. SC introducing the new guy R.Patel (basically taking over for retiring herrin/rioboli)
Announcing consolidation of EBI across CB and existing.

It’s. Easy to think they had that meet, but restricted camera access, the ability to unmute, and the chat feature was disabled. It’s almost like they were expecting backlash.

Too chicken to have at the RJR. Hosted in an ivory tower to prevent tomatoes thrown at them.

Give them the boos they deserve. Let them feel even a fraction of the embarrassment and humiliation they put those laid off through, and the anxiety they’ve left the remaining employees to endure. Leadership had been planning these cuts for weeks, with lists handed over to HR to execute, while employees were left in the dark, fearing for their livelihoods. They had time to prepare. We didn’t. And now they have the audacity to jump on stage and deliver some motivational pep talk, filled with the same corporate buzzwords and empty promises?

Read the room. You cannot expect applause, trust, or enthusiasm from people you’ve treated this way.

SHAME ON YOU!

@bq THANK YOU! for posting something useful in this jungle of comments and opinions, I wish people would focus more on content like this. Very thoughtful!

Don’t flatter yourselves. They don’t care if you show up or not. They are speaking to themselves, for themselves. A bunch of white men who continue to do the same thing they’ve always done - posturing for themselves and Wall Street.

Sat through Trevor Arps meeting yesterday. got to hear the same leaders give the same ,,"we are great, the company is counting on us speech" All Vp's are safe. Michael Angelakis clearly said if your not a leader that is working with your team than you shouldn't be here so how did these VP make the cut.

I have no desire to sit in front of two former senior DIRECTV executives and listen to them explain how they’re going to transform Comcast. Given DIRECTV’s trajectory, what exactly is supposed to inspire confidence?

I'm not going.

@a9 No, showing up won’t make your job safe. They’ve cut HR and analytics staff, and plenty of managers have checked out too. We can barely get our Kronos and badging data straight, but we’re supposed to believe attendance at one fu--ing town hall is going to save us in the next round of layoffs?

I’m not confusing a meeting attendance record with job security. Run the packages!

@a9 don't threaten us with an incentive to not attend!

@a9 most of our managers have been laid off.

Don't be fooled if you don't show up it will be noticed by your manager and factored into the next round of layoffs

@a6 super odd.

@a5 Go sit in the café and grab a snack instead. Spare yourself another hour of corporate fan fiction from the same leadership that keeps promising a turnaround and delivering layoffs.

I'll be the first to say not everyone has it, because I dont

Don't worry, my fat butt will be there, give me an excuse to scroll on X for 30 minutes. Well at least that will be a more useful usage of time

I’m not going. The invite doesn’t say it’s mandatory, and I’ll spend that time looking for another job. Yes, I survived this round. That doesn’t mean I have confidence in what comes next.nIf another round comes in March, surviving this one guarantees nothing. I haven’t seen a credible plan that makes me feel better as an employee or a shareholder. Calling this a “transformation” doesn’t explain where the growth will come from or why we should trust the people delivering it.

Honestly, this whole thing felt like a slap in the face. Now we’re supposed to sit through a presentation and act inspired? Let them put on their presentation and talk among themselves. I’m using that time to plan my own future.

Cute. They don’t give a flock of birds. The dirty work is already done. This is just a box-checking exercise for them at this point.

@a1 Croney all-hands 11est

What town hall?? Why lie
