We successfully became a single purpose hedge fund under his management.

Stankey mentioned in his presentation that we had successfully completed our first one. Any news on which one? I would think it was a smaller one but anyone with knowledge of how it went, takeaways, etc?

Lot of people were notified of their new titles this week . What are new titles ?

With the 401k funding change, could severance packages also change?

has anyone noticed all the long overdue title promotions going on out there as of late? seems random. any intel?

Not sure about others. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a pink slip...nice.

2 days into the ridiculous new Pepsi plan. 3 to go.
Hey, how are we going to hit plan next year. I’ve got an idea that I think is great. Announcement goes out on Monday about a Reorg. Then let’s fire 15 to 20% of our employees, doesn’t matter if they’re good or not. Then, make people wait up to 5 days to find out their future and offer them a take it or leave offer. Destroy moral and motivation to move the company forward.
What a great idea. That’s why they make the big bucks!

Contrary to popular belief, the layoffs did not start with the Sprint Merger, Covid, or change in leadership from John Leger to Mike Sievert. Instead, the demise of T-Mobile and subsequent layoffs started with the exedous of one employee. That employee was so regarded by Legere, Sievert, and the fellow C-Suite, that when DT came to town, they deferred to "them". All of the UC ideas, "them". Home Internet, "them". T-Mobile Tuesdays, "them" - the list is so long, say it with me, "them". That person is long gone - but the shell of "their" company - survives today. It is because of "them",
not Legere, not Sievert, not any of the active leadership, why any of us even have a job still - as without "them", we would have been bought my Marcelo in 2021, not vice-versa. To think we laid this MF off instead of promoting them to CEO....

Laying off staff and trying to make do with less resources…
New staff who don’t know much about the job and the company…
Tenured associates with the role and company knowledge gone…
News flash T Rowe, what do you think is going to happen? Who is going to do the work? Who knows how to do the work?

What are the bonuses going to be? A new cr-pper in the bathroom? The Indian employees are awful and Dave nothing….JPM is a disaster

This company has lost there way it’s a good ole boys club they spend thousands on meetings that have no relevance just a big ole party and in same breath bi--h about a couple thousand dollars needed to keep operations going they do not upgrade there equipment are bring anything innovative into the industry they have lost hundreds if not thousands of years experience in the last few years due to cuts but keep top loading the boys club it won’t be long before they are irrelevant mark these words

I see that SOBO went through some cuts. I also see that a few posts were removed due to probably using initials of the degenerate directors. censorship is alive and well.

P.S. sorry for the TCE folks who have to see this in their feeds. South Bow doesn't have its own page yet but no worries, it will be a good laugh for you guys.

This is the weirdest layoff round I had to go through in my life, and I've been through more than a few. What the he-l is even happening? All we know is that some people are getting cut, but how many, where, when it will be done, or anything else is just wild guessing at this point. The. Fu-k.

Checking to see how much change is happening

Year end is approaching, 5 day RTO mandates are looming, and some of the most experienced, high-impact members of our team are choosing to leave for roles elsewhere. Not lazy, quiet contributors bootlickers were most concerning about committing "fraud. But, the people who have held this division together for years, and have constantly pushed the company forward. Turns out, when people know their worth, they look for companies that know it too.

Apparently AI is only used for booking trips and summarizing emails.

There’s more AI function in my tennis bag.

What are your thoughts on the SLT view on AI?

Why was Bob Kirby reporting the numbers on the whole business? Is he taking over? Is DV merging with ITS?

Prepare it is coming return to office more days

What’s happening today? I’m hearing very little. I know calls are taking place with some groups. Please share

Seems like the rumor is coming true

Here we go !!!

Safe?

I have never seen this site so much silent. No new topics since long or people have stopped posting. Seems company is doing well. I think yesterday was good employee meeting focused on a lot about members & employees.

Stagflation -

High Inflation - Low Growth.

Is (by far) the greatest threat to the U.S. economy.

High Inflation caused by Trump tariffs.

Unemployment caused by Low Growth.

AI spending helps GDP growth, but U.S. consumer spending is 68%+ of GDP.

Fact -

(U.S.) ISM manufacturing is now (Down) for the (9th consecutive month in a row) due to declining new orders, and service deliveries.

This coincides with the (start) of Trump tariffs.

Hi friends. I have it on good authority that layoffs are confirmed for early 1Q 2026 immediately following the holidays. My source said the board recently signed off on the plan of “execution”. Also a major topic of discussion was to relocate the HQ back to Spring TX due to quality of hires found in Oklahoma. This was a similar strategy of our former company, Southwest Energy said they could hire much better Engineers from A&M and the land people from Okie were non consequential hires basically. Although this appears to be a long term plan for Expand after the dust settles from this 25% layoff. I’ll keep this forum updated with more news and stuff. Happy Holidays, y’all!

Anyone have credible information or evidence that a layoff will happen? Please no, “Wayfair will always lay off” post with no evidence. I am trying to piece together real evidence to see if a real one will happen soon

A physical employment of Eliza in android form? A keynote read to us by an AI voice circa 2010? A parade of newly appointed MDs patting themselves on the back? A fourth pillar focused on Being More for our Overlords?

Where are we with this? Is the BT / Private Equity move true ?

If Fannie Mae is bringing in 2.07 MILLION per employee, per year, why are layoffs necessary? Please educate me because I'm obviously a mo--n.

When I was a supervisor they would do training and tell us who was in the salty benchmark. It was different companies for employee and executive compensation. Anyone have the lists of companies?

PEP just chugging along with their failing "business as usual" strategy of ja--ing up prices, shrinking the bags, making the same old garbage and producing a negative YTD return while the market is positive 16% and hoping no one will notice. Well, people did notice.

where and how many??

Does anyone have ANY information on who will be affected?? Like teams/sectors?

You gotta hand it to The Stankmeiser. He really knows the landscape and how to be a wheeler dealer.

U.S. Xpress laid off employees across the company in response to lower demand for trucking, according to an internal email obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
