I guess it's the time where we are going to be bombarded about the survey for the MSU meeting we all had... Love how they tell you that you have until 1/30...Says they won't collect your details like name and email but we know that's not true..

Now if you volunteer, they’ll donate. “It was the right thing at the time to have that” speaking about Vol for Vaca.

Holy Cow this company is cooked. Absolutely rutterless townhall talking about AI. I wouldn't be surprised if this company chapter 11s in the next 3 years. And Optum is sold off for scraps

Is this really necessary? What will it achieve, other than pi----g many of us off?

... when it's talking about the 100th anniversary of its IPO. Is that even a thing? Has any other publicly traded century old company -- GE, GM, Coca-Cola, etc. -- ever "celebrated" its IPO? (What about the years when NCR was part of AT&T, shouldn't that be excluded? Current management probably doesn't even know about that.) How much did management spend on this NYC junket?! Did David and Eric come back?!

This company is in very bad shape. James Kelly's strategy is to load the company up with payments-related bells and whistles and sell it to Global Payments. But the payments industry -- any company that isn't Visa or Mastercard -- has also become a commodity.. Nobody's going to buy this dog, unless it's out of bankruptcy.

The way things are going, that just might happen.

I cannot believe the words coming out from these so called leaders mouth. I guess as long as they can travel the world and enjoy in company’s cost - they don’t care. It will be another company that goes to ground.

What's with everyone taking a MW and leaving it for the next person?

Two of my colleagues were affected few years ago and last year. They both got 2% per year they served in the company. It’s that still a thing or it’s changed because I see a lot of post here in the past regarding severance.

Have they started mailing tax forms yet?

More layoffs in IT late last week
Hear it was ~100 people
Almost all remote workers gone
still no CTO since Scott Spradley (IT being run by HP / Tyson cronies )
Plenty of Chicken People still around pushing for more of their chicken friends to join

FYI - Floor & Decor (Floor and Decor) had layoffs in Q4 2025

As of late 2025 and early 2026, Floor & Decor has experienced workforce reductions, including reported layoffs of specific roles due to restructuring and a, as described, "fragile" operating environment. Despite ongoing store expansion, the company has faced, as described, declining comparable store sales,, and pressure to manage, as described, high lease liabilities, leading to, as described, cost-cutting measures.
Recent Job Cuts: In December 2025, reports indicated, as described, workforce reductions and, as described, elimination of positions, which has, as described, caused concern among staff.

Company Performance Factors: While generally expanding in recent years, by late 2025, the company showed, as described, softer performance with declining comparable sales.

Previous Cost-Cutting: Historically, during 2020, top executives took, as described, temporary pay cuts, as described, in response to the pandemic, but recent actions appear more, as described, related to, as described, structural, as described, retail pressures.

Something is happening today, is it the bank reorg?

Communication theoretically begins today - what is the word?

We work at a financial services company. Many of us literally help clients build wealth for a living. So let’s talk about return-to-office in terms that should be very familiar to leadership: compounding, assets, and long-term value.

Parking in the city where I work is $19 a day. That’s not unusual.

$19 × 5 days × ~48 weeks = $4,560 per year just to show up.

Not gas. Not wear and tear on a car. Not lunch. Just parking.

Over time, that turns into real money:
• 10 years = $45,600
• 15 years = $68,400
• 25 years = $114,000

That’s before growth.

If that same $4,560 per year were invested in a Roth IRA or brokerage account at a modest 7% return:
• 10 years ≈ $63,000
• 15 years ≈ $119,000
• 25 years ≈ $315,000+

That’s the difference between an employee retiring stressed and an employee retiring secure.Now think about this from the company’s perspective.

Right now, that money is flowing into:
• Parking garages
• Gas stations
• Downtown lunch spots

What if, instead, that money was flowing into:
• Roth IRAs at our bank
• Brokerage accounts at our bank
• Deposit balances at our bank

Flexible work doesn’t just “make employees happy.” It redirects thousands of dollars per employee per year into assets held at the institution they work for.Which makes the timing of the new “Total Rewards” program especially interesting.

We’re being encouraged to consolidate deposits, investments, and cash with the bank. Leadership clearly understands the value of employee assets sitting here.But at the same time, we’re being required to spend thousands of dollars per year just to be physically present — money that could otherwise be sitting in those very accounts.You can’t ask employees to bring their cash to the bank while also designing policies that drain that cash into parking garages.

That’s a contradiction we can see very clearly, because this is what we do for a living.We talk every day about helping customers build long-term financial security.

Why are we designing policies that force employees to divert thousands of dollars a year away from their own financial future and into parking infrastructure?This isn’t about culture. This is about capital flow.

You can choose:

Employees investing in their futures at your institution
or
Employees funding city infrastructure to sit in a cubicle

One of those builds loyalty, assets, and long-term value.

The other builds parking revenue.

For a company that understands compounding as well as we do, this feels like an odd choice.

Still grinding away in the Escape From ATT Land Desk Farm??? Jockeying every day to find a decent spot??? Take control of your future and roll the dice on some small caps. Bunch of losers

When is the next big layoff? They need to match Vrz employees numbers cause T always follow them. I’m expecting like 50% cut.

Watch Kramer gush about how incredible IBM is. Then Alvind give him a couple hundred grand and everybody's happy.

Any truth behind a previous post that claim that layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026? We are entering the final 3 days of this supposed truth about when layoffs are happening and nothing major has happened. With the stock getting ready to dip below $40 is it possible layoffs could happen sometime soon?

Sounds like KM is following Ricoh’s model in major accounts. Look for multiple layer changes. Inside sales will vastly expand. Sled will remain. Global accounts will remain. Production will integrate into a reformed IP. Performers have nothing to be concerned with. Dealers are growing however.

Germa producer of acetone cyclohex and others goes into administration.

Saw the email about CSBB location strategy. Is the Birmingham Alabama site still closing this year?

It’s such a sh-t show! This is how we get better?!?!?!? This is how we beat the competition?!?!?!?! These a-holes torture us for a year with the layoff, surprise us with the return to office 4 days into this circus cr-p of unassigned seating!!!! This is their response to those of us who said we believe in this company to ride it out with you all and get it on track???!! The new op model is a joke and the leaders still haven’t defined roles, requiring us to work a sh-t ton of overtime where we need to concentrate. What a joke of a leadership crew we have. They ki-led this company. I’d have more respect if they are doing this on purpose, but likely they think they are making the right moves. Wtf!!!!!???!!

Make the LT surf a floor for a place to sit everyday and focus on this bs they created! Can you tell I’m pi---d

I remember the bad days with ALL THE LAYoffs 2014 onwards when this site was very active. I guess with all the senior employees leaving for a better life/job, or with the thousands of layoffs. Those that remain are new employees, the WORST left over employees, or ones waiting for retirement. Well from what I hear from my friends, contractors, management nothing has changed,  I am so sad to see such a great company de-evolve into what it is today. I am so happy that I got the option to leave years ago to a new better life. For those that remain, I wish a better life at Enbridge, but unfortunately I do not see this ever returning to Enbridge.

Just imagine how much demutualization would benefit The Farm. The IPO offering could be epic for a Fortune 40 company. The ability to trim the fat as well as creating a new corporate entity would allow for renegotiation of existing mother mutual agency contracts (encouraging those 30+ year agents to retire versus not being in the office and collecting renewal commissions). Also pushing more accountability to senior executives and board members to stockholders versus the good ole boy network. This should have been explored under Tipsy’s watch but was evidently swept under the rug

After watching the Davos short someone posted here, I am genuinely embarrassed for how Dan represented our company and babbled AGAIN about the same thing he's been babbling since Sept. How does he have absolutely NOTHING else to say?

His appearance, his out of touch reality with AI, his messages on repeat... We HAVE to be the laughing stock of the industry.

When Dan came on board one of the first things he told us is that the market doesn't take us seriously. How the F could they possibly take us seriously now?

It's really upsetting to see this guy keep showing up and bo----g while vomiting the same psychobabble every single time.

Im sure any one of us could write a version of Feb 5 and be spot on. If he doesn't share an actual vision on the 4th, I'll lose my mind

Expedia Group is laying off employees. Impacted workers include program managers and engineers. The company stated it is eliminating roles and simplifying its structure. These reductions follow previous workforce cuts over the past two years. Expedia Group had 16,500 employees globally at the end of 2024.

Central station made a poor call on being open today. It’s apparent its solely for the sales launch. Fossil is risking lives over a day of wining and dining international partners.

More changes at the top. What are these about? Any insight?

Looks like "social posts" are targeting Concur employees due to SAP holding some gov contracts in the US. I'd love to know what these well-meaning and business astute patriots have to say about intricacies of travel booking and expense reporting.

Asking for a friend.

No overtime for RTM positions. Just so you know the company is going to fully expect you to work 50-60 hours to complete the job but only pay you 40. Dont fall for the trap. Take the severance if you can.

Managers do RIF training on Jan 27 and then the RIF happens during Jan 28, 29.
A terrific way to end employee suffering at earth's most toxic employer!

One dude leaves the company and a bit of shuffling around, is that the big Reorg ?

Rumour has it some of the old guard are coming back and rebranding into a new processing shop - hands up who would abandon their ship to join ( my hands are up!)
