The ceo said for months that layoffs would be complete "by 1Q." Instead layoffs continue well into 2Q and cmo said on kinetic call yesterday that layoffs are a good thing so we don't become bloated like kodak. The foundation has been put down for business as usual.

It seems that the same concerns are brought up every year, lack of career development, poor communication, insufficient tools and equipment, but no measurable progress in any of these areas is ever really made. Has anyone ever seen any meaningful change come from this survey?

Also, is it truly anonymous?
I know of some complaints made about problem people, resulted in retaliation. People who were upset about being called out for their anti-social behavior and poor work ethic, engaged in intimidating behavior towards those they believed complained about them.

First off, I'm sorry to those let go. I hope they're able to find something better and more secure.
Some orgs have been told layoffs are done.
I've seen "Tech Activation Touch Base" still being used for both for reorg meetings. Poor taste reusing that meeting title for both information and layoffs. Way to send an employee into panic.

not till monday, make us suffer over the weekend?

just for the 'fun' of it?

at least MD gave the all clear for riffs on Tues, then we at least knew we had a job, lateral move, in some cases a raise.....but this nothing till Mon?

guess we wait.

seriously this place....

There is no reason this couldn’t have been handled with a single, clear email sent in the morning to everyone impacted. Something every competent organization manages to do without creating chaos.
Instead, we’re expected to sit around all day refreshing our inboxes for a pointless 15-minute meeting where no real discussion even happens. This is not just inefficient, it’s unnecessary mental strain and a waste of time for every single employee.

Perfectly said, @a9+1kq8f4etn.

Game is gutted once more. 15 minute meeting with your leader and a script read by HR could have been done in bulk. But no. We want to drag this out.

My email is with a director I don’t report to and says “I’m setting time to touch base”. Anyone get a similar email? Also my team was hit already yesterday

It’s the ELT and SLT lying to everyone.

Town hall meetings coming over for Monday at optum health. I guess to address the sla-ghter and tell the survivers to do more with less! 🤑

As expected from previous communication

Someone on Reddit said that they tried calling Avaya Sales, and for the last 5 hours, everything is going to VM, and no one is calling back.

are the sending 15mins impromptu meetings or sending early morning?

Word is that Anthropic Claude has successfully hacked Oracle DB, Internet Explorer and Outlook codes with ease. Dinosaur Bones are vulnerable.

Corporate Messaging to start by end of the week.

After the layoffs rounds how the daily routine looks like especially regarding direct mngr? Do you still have as usual 1:1? Are the layoff questions brought up on th meetings or mgnrs behave like nothing happened?

As of today’s end, our department has still not received any communication from leadership regarding compensation. The ongoing lack of clear leadership and consistent communication continues to be our department’s most significant concern.

Can someone post the full email?

Careerminds research highlights widespread issues with how companies handle layoffs. Many employees first learn about job cuts through workplace gossip. Only a quarter of laid-off staff felt leadership was transparent about the reasons. Poor communication significantly damages trust among both departing and remaining employees. Half of remaining staff considered leaving their jobs due to these communication failures.

Seeing updates about the technology the company will be using, but nothing about when people will receive updates about jobs or locations. Isn’t closing in 2 weeks? The communication on this from leadership is completely lacking.

Are all the questions being blocked? Nothing is coming through.

Is anyone aware of layoffs that are upcoming for enterprise imaging? There was an org restructure (as there always is) so many of us are moving under a diff leadership structure. There have also been requests to provide more info on our roles and what we are doing on a day to day basis.

Stop scaring people for no good reason. When layoffs continue, we'll all know it.

Can we stop with the PAC emails? Unless they are advocating changing laws for fewer layoffs.

What's happening with HPE? One week something is fine, the next week it’s not allowed anymore. We only find out after the fact when someone flags it. For the past year I've felt like I'm always one step behind something we weren't even notified changed. How are we supposed to work like this?

We spend a lot of time discussing what needs to be done. Then we discuss it again. And again. Meanwhile, the actual work barely moves. When did we turn into a company where every single thing has to be discussed into oblivion before anything can be done?

There are things that clearly aren’t working, but no one says it directly. Instead, we just keep adjusting around them. It feels like everyone sees it, but no one wants to be the one to call it out. So it just continues. Because that's so much better and productive than actually fixing the issue, right?

Managers, were you actually blindsided or is that just the line?

Does anyone know why best of belk is so hush hush.??

I wonder how many in leadership positions read these topics and comments? Maybe they ignore it all as just annoying noise.

RYAM held a company wide meeting on Wednesday April 15th titled “RYAM Uplift” with goal of uplifting employees hearts and minds. The meeting quickly jumped off the rails when it was clear that leadership had no plans on actually taking questions via the provided Slido app. Employees grew concerned over the poor leadership under former CEO DeLyle Bloomquist who was outwardly hostile to employees on numerous occasions. Questions around the third in a string of fires at RYAM largest facility in Jesup, GA was a hot topic as it impacted spending coming out of their annual outage. Overall sentiment among employees is that leadership is out of touch with employees at the plant levels.

From Preauth... what are you all hearing? We are being ignored and we have no clue whats coming. Give us a heads up please. 13 years..

Email regarding Dans 1st quarter meeting 4/28. Hopefully some useful information. I’m not betting on it!

Going into HR direct and ADP link, there’s no payslip posted for tomorrow’s 4-17-26 pay period. I sure hope everyone gets paid.

Once this was a company employees would be proud of working for but now it’s just a shadow of its former self.
We career from one RIF to the next whilst being told by disingenuous leaders that AI will take care of everything.
Work from the office, no work from home as you won’t have an office. Use google, no Microsoft…no Google etc etc.
There is a total lack of honesty or transparency from leaders. They are all running scared and frantically trying to get on the “relevance” lifeboat. Forget “women and children first”…these guys are cowards only interested in covering their own backs and surviving.
No strategy, no communication, just chaos.

I’m sure there are numerous, but the 360 app team is a total mystery to me. No one responds to emails or messages. It’s impossible to get any answers to XDA or FMP. I am starting to think none of them know the programs and aren’t able to answer questions.

What are the “critical employee meetings” scheduled for apr 15.? Chat and call channels will have periods of unavailability

TMO already partners with SpaceX. Not sure how ATT will respond but I’m certain VZ will once again fail, as they did with the iPhone years ago. Leaders will tell us it’s nothing to worry about and use word salad and elaborate slide decks to propagandize their message. Some will clap and take photos in a red chair while writing on a post it note. The rest of us will patiently wait for our impending severance.
