“When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them”. Same goes for companies. They’ve been showing you that they don’t value you or your contributions to the business and you should believe them! They’re not kidding. You have skills, whether it’s... — read more 

With under 6 months here?

I salute you. You are victims of an inept strategy and an inept and self-congratulatory leadership who clearly do not have a clue about how to turn around things. Anyone who is Band 4 or above should hang their head in shame, complete losers

+/-4500 for total reduction across various orgs and stores. I

I wish people would stop parroting the "impacted" euphemism. It's either "laid off" or "fired". Not even "RIF", because that implies that the job is gone. The job is never gone, it's just done by someone else that remains.

Layoff decisions should not rely solely on manager recommendations. They should also be supported by objective data from internal systems, including actual work completed, project contributions, performance metrics, and productivity. Using verifiable... — read more 

Instead of relying only on manager recommendations, layoff decisions should also consider employees’ actual work, contributions, and performance data available in internal systems. This would help ensure that hardworking, high-performing employees... — read more 

Layoff decisions should be based on fair and transparent criteria. It’s difficult to understand why some employees who were away for weeks were retained while regular contributors were laid of

Be ready if you are on a discipline or floating on performance tomorrow. 10% cuts are expected. Just when you thought them removing the 50% per month written warning was a favor for you. Syke, it’s just easier to blindside you with a layoff; cheaper... — read more 

Any news here? Good luck everyone.

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.

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.

With all the rumors I’m just wondering if anyone has heard any word specifically about porting activation and credit tier 2 (wireline and business credit ) . There have been so many changes and developments it’s hard to keep track of what’s real or... — read more 

If I survive another round of layoffs rest assured I will be doing the bare minimum as I have been for months. I will be expect nothing more from my teams. This company is trash and are crazy if they think I will give more than 30% and that is on a... — read more 

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 

I wish you and yours the best of luck tomorrow.

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 

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.

No one wants to lose their job including myself. Does anyone know if they are still offering the 2 weeks per year. I would think so but some band 4-5 might know.... I'm band 7 so I'm sure I'll find out or maybe not. Please share if you know, and... — read more 

Anyone know what stores are closing or divesting?

Any news on what stores in WA are impacted?

Who all got affected?

Well the news is out…. Over 250 stores, directors, sr directors…all because someone “accidentally” sent the email out today instead of tomorrow

Are all the stores getting divested or are there stores that will just simply be closed? Have all the stores in East Region been notified?

Has anyone heard anything about the older and tenured employees being offered severance if their age + tenure is over 60? I would gladly volunteer to go so that someone younger could keep their position.

Several have been communicated to today. The rest in the morning. Any word on what groups are impacted?

St. Peters, Creve Coeur, & Kirkwood are divested!!!!!

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 

What does it look like for these teams? Tulsa specifically. A layoff 6 weeks after your office closes is naturally pretty scary

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?

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

Will HCL be gone when their contract is up? Or will Big Red keep them around to muck up the works?

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.

Just hearing from 4 Indiana stores that have been divested. Good luck to everyone out there!

will finance be affected in BR or LM? do we know what groups
