Stay away from TCC
North Alabama and some stores within the state are divesting. Stay away from TCC and hold on to any chance of corporate you may have unless cellular sales is an option.
Goodnight and Goodluck
No matter what happens tomorrow, remember that your job is only one part of your story Keep moving forward; life has a way of working itself out.
Does anyone know if PACT is safe

Dan!
Dan is just doing what the shareholders want, and he’s okay with the criticism. He knows he’s going to be the scapegoat, hence why he only signed an 18-month deal. Getting paid the big bucks to take the blame. Cutting all these employees will bump... — read more

Emails sent out to retail gms early by mistake.
Emails sent out to retail GMs early today by mistake. They had to have a call with GMs telling them that their stores were getting divested and to have their teams be on a call the following morning. The stores that were safe had another call later... — read more
Divest
Carmel Indiana affected. I was told TCC will be taking it. If I have the option do I stay, or look elsewhere. I’m horrified, and feel like I have no idea what to do.

People leader impacts in CXO
If you’re a Band 6 people leader in the CXO, you’re impacted. About 90% of Band 5 is impacted and already informed on Monday. At this rate, I don’t have much hope for individual contributors. I also don’t know what Tanya is going to do with her VP... — read more
Tulsa people (and other office closure survivors)
What does it look like for these teams? Tulsa specifically. A layoff 6 weeks after your office closes is naturally pretty scary
How were personnel chosen?
I heard a rumor in November that management had no decision in the personnel that were fired and that it was all determined by AI. Can anyone with HR intel verify if that is true and how are layoffs being determined for the next round?
I was laid off in December. If you're divested to Victra, be careful.
Victra will make all kinds of promises to you that everything will be the same or better than it was, but they're full of bullsh-t. If your store is bought by them, you're better off taking the severance and going on unemployment
What about HCL?
Will HCL be gone when their contract is up? Or will Big Red keep them around to muck up the works?
Loff
It often feels like employees with strong connections or managerial support receive more flexibility, while regular, hardworking employees are the ones most affected during layoffs. Performance should matter more than favoritism.
Tomorrow is the Day
Just hearing from 4 Indiana stores that have been divested. Good luck to everyone out there!
finance
will finance be affected in BR or LM? do we know what groups

Retail layoff but retail hiring?
I'm not in retail, but I see the job postings and every day there's 10+ postings with retail in the title. What is all the retail hiring if people are talking about massive retail layoff and store closures?
