Anyone within the company heard from leadership if a hiring freeze is still in effect? I’m curious if people are actively getting hired, especially after some of the negative publicity CVS has been getting lately.

truth is if you get eliminated, you were on a list long ago ( probably put there by someone who doesn't even know your name or the hard work you do- with a company this large you ARE just a number ). so there's not much you can do to change... — read more 

If Bethesda and Blizzard can form one. Why can't we?

usually sign is they reduce the work, remove folks from meetings etc. no signs at all and business as usual for all remote people. why is there speculation and doubt?

Tilak is the most condescending, anti-woman, self-absorbed, toxic, bully of a CIO we have ever had. Seems impossible with the clowns we have had in the past. I'm sure many are hypnotized by Tilak's lame comedy routine he puts on during townhalls. ... — read more

generally curious, is your group going in the 3 days? still seems really dead when I am in.

I’ve been hearing about people being let go one by one or in small groups, without any announcement or big talk. They are trying to minimize the upset and the erosion of morale by quietly laying off peeps? If that’s the reasoning, they are too late... — read more 

No one is going to mention the unhinged email that someone sent to half of Aetna at 1AM eastern time?

I know 5 people who I used to work with (in corporate) who have been silently let go in the last three months. Usually they are given several weeks notice. And no one ever talks about it (or at least I don’t hear about it). Has anyone else... — read more

Shift left quality was used as a pretext to fire all quality engineers working under Digital Engineering during last year layoff. Will the current eruption of the Crowdstrike issue teach our management anything?

I think they already have the lists ready. ppl making more money may be chopped first
