2026 will be the last year of AT&T employment for many. Make the final weeks count.

Post below.

Vacuum Technique said it will close its facility in Clackamas because of “changing business needs.” Seventy-eight jobs will be eliminated, according to a new filing with the state’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission.

The news comes after Purelight Power, a Medford-based solar company, told state officials last week that it will be shutting down operations and eliminating 109 jobs, including 84 in Medford.

Curious about everyone’s New Years Work Resolutions.

2026 looks to be another horrible year. 5 states removing soda from snap benefits, and more to come. Have you heard a plan to make that up, because I have not. No plan, no results, more layoffs.

What’s the culture in the legal department?

You 4 day RTOers complained about not having enough parking and desk space. Well, all that is about to change. In the 1st quarter all of the inconsistents they've been handing out like candy will be used to cut thousands.

You heard that right. Thousands.

Then following that, the survivors will get the 5 day RTO or else threat. Those that violate the 5 day RTO will be PiP'd and fired.

The end game? As small of a SE Michigan salaried footprint as possible. And LCC replacements.

It's the new Ford. Where the vehicles will be assembled by American hourly workers, but designed by cheap foreign engineers. It's been moving that direction since 2019, and this will be the final blow to bring it all to reality.

Me? I'm retiring EOY after nearly 4 decades. I'm at a level that you can count on my knowing what I'm talking about.

GL2U all.

Hi I’m currently at a company with higher pay but toxic manager. Thinking to return back to company with same title and pay when I left. Is it worth the switch?

• Last year they flattened the mid management and forced most managers into a PM role, which made all of us be under some random new manager.

• They implemented a 5 day RTO policy and are treating us like children by monitoring badge swipes

• They started their super SUPER "secret" NDA project - or was that in 2024, i dont remember now... - either way, it aint gonna be ready in May LMFAO

So what do we think their plans are this year?

If I have to guess,

• the RTO will be scaled back to 3 days/week and/or not being monitored anymore (I genuinely do believe this too)
• The NDA project won't go "live" when JC wants it to (May) and will be pushed back again and he throws a fit... Maybe even gets fired for it! - hopeful thinking.
• Promotions will be MIA again
• A lot of Directors will quit because who tf wants to manage 20+ people?
• They start laying off the FULL remote employees who aren't near an office and refuse to move near one.

Any other guesses?

The calendar marks the end of 2025, but layoffs, politics, and nonsense persist. Like others, I joined this company years ago and delivered results. Now, I’m extracting small victories, like a tooth fairy.

My team used to collaborate and execute, but it’s been years since then. This month and last month, we’ve focused more on making up stories about accomplishments than actually achieving them.

I wish there was a bright light on the horizon. Or even one wise man.

Happy happy. Merry merry.

1. hoping for a package
2. Find a new job
3. Do less work
4. Hope my boss gets terminated
5. Hope my kiss a-s co worker leaves
6. Hope another company buys our company

Anyone have anything to add.

It look a lot of Leadership, apathetic employees, meetings, PowerPoints, bad ideas and ineffective and incapable management to accomplish this ! # PEPPROUD

The amount of people patting themselves on the back for Total wireless on LinkedIn is embarrassing and cringe. These fake MVNOs are the downfall of VZ. How about focusing on Verizon brand and not 10 other brands? Value teams are cringe.

Today is his last day at BH, if it wasn’t for him Oxy would have been bought a long time ago.

The only truly permanent thing around here seems to be my manager. He would probably survive a nuclear holocaust. And not because he’s a good manager or indispensable for his competence or people skills, but because he’s a perfect fit for the toxic culture.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

I was told that any movement is targeted to be finalized by end of Q1. Does anyone have dates or any other info?

What’s this retention bonus people keep talking about? Who’s eligible and how much do they get?

Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.

They are looking at them and writing employees up for non-work related content. No jokes, no whitty banter, nothing personal. Always use your cell to communicate.

Employee Morale and Shareholder Value.

What were the ratings exceeds, meets and what else?

Summary

Target faces intensifying e-commerce headwinds, particularly from Amazon, undermining its long-term growth prospects.
I see TGT’s recent activist involvement and 13x forward earnings multiple as a potential value trap, not a buying opportunity.
Management’s AI and infrastructure investments may not offset declining comps, margin pressure, and competitive disadvantages versus AMZN.
I reiterate my "Sell" rating, expecting further margin deterioration and negative top-line growth absent a credible turnaround catalyst.

Number of people dying from bad management decisions. Both companies have deaths associated with managers ignoring senior technical personnel and violating company and industry safety standards. VP of drilling never drilled a well. VP of completions never completed a well. What could possibly go wrong with this logic? Hire more VPs and fire more engineers. Bankrupt the company using the CEO's playbook that has been finely tuned to make executive management rich. Life is karma. You can't keep this up forever.

Bill Flynn saved the company. We need another Bill Flynn. Our execution sux. It takes forever for everything & anything. No efficiency. No competency. No urgency. Top brass don't care. Why ? B/C they will collect soon on $2.5M-$3M pensions & sail into the sunset w/no worries. Take away their pensions & who will crawling to daddy and mommy now ? The Board don't care. They collect $200K per year to listen to sugar coated versions of alternate reality. No checks. No balance. No accountability. No care in the world. Crony capitalism. Nepotism. When's the last time any board member had lunch with a rank and file employee ? When have the met in a roundtable setting with employees ? When have they led and attended focus groups of clients ? Never ! Board is not accessible. Not approachable. Doesn't truly care about the company employees or clients because they are silent and invisible.

Has anyone heard anything more about the in office changes?

was in outlets and Nike stores during holiday shopping with family. And they all had tons of AJs, AFs, Dunks and other classic styles by the tons and in deep discounts.
After this effort by Nike, I don't think that anyone with correct mindset will pay outrageous and bloated Nike Classic products in the future.
JD and Nike management couldn't stand resellers and tried to get rid of them. They couldn't stand the fact that anyone was making money off their product. Well they succeeded!! Because no one will touch it!! Nike Classics RIP, you are dead and buried.

Nike management in their infinite wisdom tried to ki-l all the roaches but ended up burning down the whole farm. LOL what a joke.

I have talked to few of the resellers and afficionados that I know and they are all out of the business. And they are so burned, they will not touch Nike products with 10 foot pole.

At least they had the class to wait until after the holidays.

Did we get lucky and that rumor turned out to be false or was it moved to the start of next year?

Should Dell be included?

Stay tuned

Just submitted my charitable donation matching request to Fidelity Foundation and happy to see my humble donation to my cause was tripled! Yes, Fidelity match 200% of your charitable donation.

2025 was a good year for me, a foot soldier who worked honestly as always and was rewarded fairly by Fidelity. I wish those middle managements who leech off my work and those coasters who steal their salary from Fidelity be cut off in 2026, so Fidelity becomes a even better work place!

Scratching my head on this one…. What kids dad got him a CEO job at Huntington? It shows.

Hearing rumours that an IPO is coming in the new financial year. Looks like things will continue to be destabilised

In 2026, name 5 things the company will do to actually raise revenue. Not cut expenses. You can't cut your way to profitability but raise revenue. Company is chickens_hit & is scared as he_ll to raise revenue. Just do it. Figure out a way. Company must find a way to raise money quick. Adapt or D-ie !! Smart firms figure out ways to increase revenue. Why can't mutual figure this out ?

What’s everyone’s best guess on what will happen with the company in the coming year? Good, bad or ugly
