July & August layoffs?

I heard a rumor that there will be layoffs on July 15th, and then more on August 15th? Has anyone heard about this? Not sure if it's even true, or what departments.

Q2 earnings reports are expected to be on July 30th, so the July 15 layoffs would be ahead of that call. I overheard this information before the reports that the EU approval for the WBD acquisition is July 7th.


Tried to improve coordination and it backfired

I ended up getting formal performance feedback not long after suggesting during a meeting that product planning would probably run smoother if a few departments worked together earlier in the process. A mistake I won't be making twice, that's for sure.


Workflow changes

I have been asked as a care coordinator to switch work flows this month (June) and work new areas that I have never worked before. Everything came out of the blue a few days ago and other care managers from different department are now working the area that I worked and grown accustom to. Does anyone know what is going on?


They are going to offer overtime the contractors in India

I work in the credit fraud department, where overtime is often offered. However, today, they announced that overtime is no longer available for stateside employees, but the contractors in India will now be able to work overtime. We inquired about the reason behind this decision, and they simply stated that overtime is not a guaranteed benefit. Furthermore, on March 20, they laid off a few remote workers from my department. All of these events make me feel uneasy. Anything like this going on in your department?


Federal Public Lands Workforce Shrinks in Mountain West

More than 5,800 federal public lands workers departed last year. This affected eight Mountain West states. Agencies like the U.S. Forest Service saw significant declines. Many workers were reassigned to the Interior Secretary's office. This reorganization may lead to slower decision-making.

Where to hitch your wagon

you can usually tell the power setup in a department within the first 5 minutes of a meeting.

just watch who the boss talks to first. watch who they ask for ideas, who they look to for answers, and who they check with before moving on.

when a boss says stuff like, "jason, what do you thnk??? or "nicole, what is your take?" that tells you a lot. it shows who they trust and whose opinion matters most. that is usually the person with real pull in the room, even if their title does not sound the biggest.

sooo, its simple, pay attention to that person….learn how they think. build a good working relationship with them. a lot of times, that is the person helping shape the real decisions and decides who moves up or down.


Nonsense Projects

We had a coffee chat with the director of our department, and they mentioned that most of the LCS projects are likely to be either discontinued or significantly scaled down. At the same time, there’s another initiative emerging informally around DAC using Amines. The person leading this has no knowledge of fundamentals. Another waste of resources.
