Or are we done?

Reports make it sound like layoffs have been across the board. Does anyone know how many?

Source tells me voluntary layoffs are coming.

Please god

I just got my Monday morning 'business update' meeting invite. Should I be worried....yikes. I'm a remote employee too.

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.

Conway management threatening employees with handling if the don't get ridiculous yard repair number. Being told to replace parts unnecessarily just to hit the numbers. Any other locations pushing this? AAR/FRA?

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..

Given all the cuts, do we really need two chief network officers (wireless and wireline)?

Seems like they created a job for someone who was complaining. Just saying.

What are your thoughts ?

I know some LG1/LG2 roles have been eliminated across North America. Not sure if the L-1 to L11 populations also would get affected. Scary days ahead !!!

I need this job, I have a family and a mortgage.

By all means: what can I do to maximize my survival probability at this company? Any hints?

I am sure a lot of people need this information today!

Got the email today, looks like 40 ish prone across business development and advisor practice growth etc.

What the he-l is going on? Some leaders who I know and I like. If we are trying to grow the wealth management business, this seems short sighted.

I joined a while back from a competitor to escape their layoffs and now it’s happening here. Seems pretty dispassionate.

And it'll be a miracle if anything is still functioning in the near future. Some teams have been almost completely destroyed by the recent moves. What's the actual end game here?

In my opinion, VoA is a circus. If BD really wanted honest feedback, this platform has more than what needed for diagnosis of the issues. Do you expect anything to change with that survey or is it just to warm some “leader’s” pocket?

But at least we have ‘agentic‘ nonsense and a falling stock.

That call could have gone worse. No idea how.

1. How was the list prepared ?
2. Why another round when previous one is still going ?
3. What percentage you are losing from your team ?

A team member based out of NY got impacted. They are cutting the roles from NY, Tampa, London and moving them to Canada, Mexico and Poland. Take care of yourself people!

And no one is talking about it. How can we warn potential new hires about these clowns?

This post is nothing new in regards to WF monitoring employees keyboard/mouse/Teams activity. We have been aware of that since last year. Not sure if all computers at WF are running Skan. If yours has it in the system tray be careful. They are using metrics from Skan to displace people without severance. I know this for a fact so just be sure you aren’t one that takes long breaks or inactive for long periods over days or weeks. Not meant to scare anyone just beware of 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.

We are going hours without customers here in the northeast. It’s becoming more often. Is anyone else experiencing this at their stores?

Who else was “saved” but is updating their resume and looking. This place is a joke. How soon until the next round of layoffs?

RV has brought us to the flourishing Netherworld.

Everything in our business has withered and died.

The unehtical McKinsey folks ...our CEOs former employer, ready to fu-k us all over. Get ready folks, this is how far we've fallen from the most "ethical" company. https://youtu.be/K1cJqB0X_BA?si=V1X6W1X7DWt6vvwn

That's a rhetorical question, by the way.

They used to always be mid March. Then two years ago it was mid April.

Is the delay a sign of something? Has anyone else gotten theirs?

It boggles the mind, no matter how you look at it. Sorry to everyone affected. I have to believe there are companies out there that actually value what you bring.

I heard about on-going layoffs in D&AI. I know someone who got laid off.

Is this one off usecase or more is yet to come?

Why does this company continue to treat cyber security like an afterthought? Incident after incident, no lessons learned. Hire actual professionals rather than these afterthought staff!

Been seeing a lot of people bashing Corporates lately, and didn't want to miss out on the fun. I wonder what Corporates Customers and Partners would think of they knew every conversation with a sales rep is recorded, and searchable by anyone in the company.

No, I am not joking. Anyone at any time can search a database of 1000s of hours of meetings, and discover in real time which firm, whether it's KPMG, Deloitte, EY, or Accenture and find out who is working on a new opportunity with a potential or existing client. Taking it one step further, as a result of a simple search, anyone can find out who is involved and timing. There is no data privacy, and no controls on who can access information.

You can't make this stuff up. This is Corporates Leadership for you.

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.

Hard to take any of this seriously when the system tracking “presence” can’t even get it right. We’re making decisions and enforcing policy based on data that clearly isn’t reliable, then calling it accountability. If that’s the goal, maybe start with accuracy first.

Since I know these posts get to you.

Gold almighty do something to get the stock up already. Earn your salary.

My portfolio didn't need another dead weight CEO

This is the [unofficial] chat for today’s COO Town Hall. Post your questions, comments and concerns here since we can’t truly be honest in MS Teams without fear of being monitored, fired, retaliated against.

Budget cuts and no new programs - people afraid to talk about the fact that they are just idle. I’m a SD been here 15 yrs and never seen it this bad

I heard sales people will be targeted as per previous treads but will managers from different departments will be too?

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO

Budgets cut, no new programs - everyone scared to admit (I’m not working on anything) out of fear.

I’m a SD here for 15 years this is as bad as I’ve seen.

It would be a welcomed change to be layed off.

Got word that the 2026 Rate event that was supposed to be April/May is on hold. No word given, but suspect worried about losing customers.

thats it. it happened today, josh silverman su-ks.
