Sent an email to them yesterday afternoon with zero response yet aside from the auto generated one. Is this everyone else’s experience?

What is it with these Delaware alumni and their entitled attitude? They sit in rooms dividing roles among themselves like it’s their private club, acting as if they’re better than everyone else.

Do not recommend House of Fidelity.. but…

This book really helped me get through a tough transition when i left the firm. I highly recommend for those impacted in the tech space

Bit of a click bait title - but Erika used to work at fidelity and has a chapter where she goes into how that played out, and i have to say it sounds oddly familiar to some peoples experiences now.

And if anyone, i mean anyone has ever given you the book “who moved my cheese” never speak to them again.

Software engineer laid off some years ago from the firm. I know what it’s like to be laid off, and have interest in offering help to people in my field. I would like to volunteer my contact info for anyone impacted. For obvious reasons, I feel uncomfortable putting my contact info on this forum. Is there a way I can reach out to Fidelity HR to let them know I would be willing to be contacted by software engineers recently impacted by the layoff, so they can send my contact to people impacted?

Thank you.

As someone who was let go from another company, here are a couple of things I'd tell my younger self:

• Take some time to process everything that happened and what it means to you financially
• It's almost impossible not to speculate why YOU. Whether there was a specific reason or not, it doesn't matter anymore
• Connect to that ex-Nike linkedin group. I heard good things
• Once it is all said and done, avoid coming back to this site

You'll feel the urge to state your opinion, and share something like "see, I knew this was going to break!". As someone who actually did this, I only regret my decision of doing so, because it took me longer to move on from being let go.

I have seen d-mb decisions that had to be rolled back later on. I'm sure Nike has done some d-mb stuff that will have to be undone. But, if I were you, stop checking this site if you no longer work here. I've only found helpful to know when these reorgs would happen so I can start prepping my resume/interviews in the event that I am cut off.

have a great one

Hi everyone,
I’m a former employee of Nike and I’m trying to obtain a more detailed experience letter. So far, I’ve only received a basic employment verification that includes my start date, end date, and job title.
For my current needs, I require a letter that also outlines my roles and responsibilities (job duties) during my time there.
Has anyone here successfully requested a detailed experience or reference letter from Nike after leaving the company? If so, could you share the process, the right contact/team to reach out to, or any tips on how to make this request effective?
Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi there. I am trying to connect with WD employees who were recently laid off and still searching for job. I am on the same boat and wondering if we can share our experiences and lessons. Using this platform because we can comment anonymously.

It's that time of the year. Honeywell former employees must email HRHelp to get our w2 / payslip documents for tax purposes according to Alumni hub. Just in case former employees (like myself) are needing this information quickly (like me) for meeting with an accountant or filing taxes you can't just download this like any other business in modern times. Go figure.

Did they bounce back?

I escaped Nike and reading these posts confirms it was the right move. I can't imagine being inside that mess right now. Good luck to everyone still there, I truly hope you find your way out.

One of the perks of being in a toxic workplace that has experienced massive layoffs is that you have a large alumni network of people who have left and figured it out. We are here for you... willing to give recommendations, referrals and share our network... just reach out. Admittedly, the market is hard, but having a personal connection gives you a huge advantage.

Is there a way to see what the bonus payout will be for a former employee? I'm not seeing it on the HR Access site, but could just be missing it.

Just to remind you - Your new life and colleagues post dxc will treat you so much better.

Good luck in the future to all new alumni.

What events are planned for your office? Sendoffs for the latest alumni class? Holiday lunches? Secret Santa gift exchanges?

When you are layed off, your only way to attempt to get questions answered or request actions is via email to Alumni@xerox.com. My experience with that has been horrible. Anyone have similar or different experiences?

Your layoff help David Kenny and Karthik Rao have a more joyous holiday! Give thanks!!

A heart warming article on WSJ about the longest serving employee of QC..

De... ..nch at Qualcomm
Principal engineer/manager
Age: 61
Date hired: 1987

Early days: Qualcomm’s longest-serving employee moved to San Diego after college, looking for warm weather. He saw a classified ad in the San Diego Union-Tribune in 1987 and applied for a role as a technician. He was 22. “I had no idea what the company was,” he said. Qualcomm would go on to power the technology used inside millions of cellphones and other devices, with Punch working on many of the company’s key projects.

Oh, my dearest, most radiant Qorvo family — today I lay down my metaphorical badge, yet my trembling heart refuses to let go. To say “thank you” feels as feeble as whispering to a thunderstorm, but I must try, for you deserve nothing less than a symphony of gratitude.

Every morning at Qorvo was a sunrise painted by destiny itself — every meeting, every spreadsheet, every coffee-fueled brainstorm, a brushstroke in the masterpiece of my soul. You were not just colleagues… you were constellations of excellence, each of you a blazing light that guided me through the vast galaxy of innovation.

To my manager — the titan, the visionary, the Michelangelo of leadership — your wisdom carved purpose into the marble of my career. I am but a humble apprentice who will spend a lifetime trying (and failing) to emulate your effortless brilliance. You didn’t just manage; you manifested greatness.

And to my team — the dazzling architects of possibility — thank you for letting me bask in your glow. You turned ordinary days into living legends. The camaraderie we shared was more intoxicating than the finest coffee from the breakroom machine (and that coffee was divine).

So this isn’t goodbye — no, never that. It’s merely an intermission in the opera of our shared destiny. I know, deep in the spreadsheets of my soul, that we will unite again when Qorvo, in its infinite wisdom, calls us home once more.

Until then, I remain forever in awe, forever devoted, and forever —
A Proud, Grateful, Eternally Weeping Qorvonian

This company is run by mo--ns. I received the Alumni Zone letter in the mail. "A centralized resource for former colleagues".....HELLO?! Im still employed by you!

Has anyone been IRIFed and attempted to get basic questions answered using the only available method (alumni@xerox.com)? It’s insane - a ticket is created, no reference to the original question maintained, non-responsiveness other than auto-replies, more. Or is it just me?

Has a name and department listing been started for the 11/6 alumni class?

for those impacted in previous cuts, what specific support programs helped most [outplacement, alumni network, internal advocates], and which of those are confirmed for 2025? Were they any good???

About a decade ago I was cut together with may dear coleagues - us who were affected found real help from the industry... from networking to resume sharing to landing great next roles... Because there were many good people who stayed inside Target, many of those teammates eventually came back... If you are cut, use your network and move on... If you are not cut, be that network and help... The best we can do is show up for one another.
