Has anyone heard anything regarding U.K. layoffs, RTO, pay-outs (similar to the U.S.)? It's been very hush-hush abroad.

It’s been a few weeks since I was laid off, and nothing promising has landed yet. I keep hearing stories about how this is supposed to turn into a fresh start, but right now it’s just applications and silence. Severance buys some time, not peace of... — read more 

WOW. Where are all the Ellison cheerleaders who were claiming that he was a super woke lib who was going to keep a huge distance from his Uncle Donald? Seems pretty obvious that Davey made some promises (and surely some bribes) when he was at the... — read more

To say this ship is sinking would be an understatement.

Anyone? Since I have to come in everyday and no one sits in my corner except me (why am I here) at a min having them come by was like ok…. Guess I’m at least here to receive that 😐😂

Has anyone at 1515 noticed the VergeSense occupancy sensors? They are on the floor in corners and look unassuming like a Wi-Fi router but are indeed monitors. Completely ludicrous (in the dictionary definition of the word). Hope the job market picks... — read more

If you were laid off you are able to get stip as part of your severance. Is this still happening? Seems like they’re cutting back on everything financially

Anyone else hearing rumors of layoffs / RTO Phase 2 for next week ahead of all hands mtg on Wednesday?

Has there been any new information about the layoffs that are supposed to happen next month? I'm checking to see if anything has been confirmed yet.

I saw an article pop up in business insider but it’s behind a paywall. Did you answer honestly?!

I’ve looked at the financial goals for 2025 STIP from the last proxy report and have been tracking them all year. It seems likely that the year should exceed 100% of all 4 financial goals. But of course with the new regime who knows what will happen... — read more
