Is it just Xerox being cheap…. We’re not in a COVID situation so what’s the excuse?

Why the layoffs now? Did they waste too much money buying part of Tik Tok?

No. I won’t be going skiing. I will be at home, on the couch watching YouTube Tube or cutting the grass. Or some other low cost activity. Or sitting around thinking and planning how to increase my income.

Is Amazon laying off caretakers and giving discounted soap to Engineers for kitchen cleaning? Or is it the dawn of a Day 2 era? Probably the latter. Layoffs only prove management incompetence - essentially a Bandaid batch for much bigger problems like inflating free cashflow and uncontrolled AI datacenter overspend.

From my perspective in accounting, this keeps happening. They release senior staff to balance the budget, but the underlying strategic errors remain. In my twenty years, I have never witnessed this leading to genuine recovery. It only demoralizes the teams left behind to pick up the pieces with less support.

If Cigna is in such financial straits, why are they leasing more office space and spending millions upon millions of dollars renovating offices that nobody wants to be in? Make it make sense, please!

Due to not pating our vendors many shipments are not coming in. I wonder how long this will last.

My manager just kinda informed us in a soft way that the budget is tight and layoffs are probably pending. She says that I am a corporate employee but I am working under a states plan. When layoffs happen, do corporate employees get cut too or that particular plan.

ExxonMobil plans to cut its low-carbon spending by a third, the latest sign of a pullback on decarbonization across most big oil companies. In its latest corporate outlook, Exxon raised its 2030 targets for earnings and cash flow each by $5 billion. That should be possible without new capital spending, the company said. But it will require low-carbon spending to fall to $20 billion from $30 billion, following what CEO Darren Woods described as lower-than-expected customer demand and less supportive government policies.

Hydrogen is among the divisions on hold, a trend across the industry, which has put more than 60 hydrogen projects on ice this year. Overall, oil majors’ green ambitions have mostly failed to pan out: Shell and BP, which pushed ambitiously into lower-carbon business lines only to pull them back, have seen their share prices fall to a deep discount relative to their US competitors.
