What are the global SEC folks working on now? Or are they even working? People in that org are being laid off during every wave.

im sorry for the vague post. i dont have a lot of info and im wondering if anyone has heard anything similar.

i have a great relationship with my manager. they told me in our last meeting that they were told to brace for a disruptive announcement. i didnt think much of it but now i cant get it off my mind. thats all i know and i cant say where i am in sap or i risk me and my manager.

i dont want to start drama. i am just wondering if anyone heard anything similar and can help me understand whats happening. i am afraid to ask at the office.

The upstream CFO post was removed about as abruptly as he resigned. How does a post come down so quickly?

An interesting read

Anyone here anything about layoffs that happened this month?

Last I left in August, you guys were still using ChatGPT or just getting started. Has there been a Switch to Claude Code yet?

Yes, Leadership is weak. Thoughts?

I believe the vote NO is growing. As some locals have come out against this extension. Do you really think this agreement will get voted down? I see both sides arguments. Either way, make your voice heard.

Does Truist have blanket non-compete agreements with other companies that impact teammates job mobility? Is this info posted anywhere internally?

Anyone know what to expect for Optum Corporate LCRA roles? Something is brewing but everyone is being secretive.

With so many contradicting stories, I have no idea what to think anymore.

Come on - we know it’s coming, who’s going to spill the details?

What's the big SMS announcement?

Rip

Jk

Curious what everyone thinks about the upcoming LP. I feel like it is too good to be true about uncapping the profits (I think they said this?). Meaning we can go about the fixed return. I might be wrong but it all seems too good to be true. Anyone have any insight as to what is actually happening or what this offer might be?

Most of the posts here are from people who were let go or did not like the company policies like RTO. Would like to hear from folks who left the firm as you couldn't deal with your immediate manager or one above them - basically management who knows who you are and what you do. What was the red line for your decision? Have you found another job? Which part of the firm you were in - Ops, TSG, Engineering, etc.

I’d be curious to see what people feel like the safety culture of the company is today? Better or worse than it used to be?

My laptop turned off and lost all access instantly. This is getting crazy.

Chicago, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Tysons Corner, and South Coast Plaza are all top tier locations with lots of foot traffic in the mall and surrounding areas, if these locations are closing, I eventually see all locations going under. Please, if you count on Saks or Neiman's as your main source of income, start looking for a new job, I'm so sad for all the wonderful people I worked in the 24 years I was at Neiman's. Times are changing and not for the better. God bless everyone at Saks and Neiman's stores.

Just wondering if anyone else has heard that Bloomingdale’s and Macys or certain Macys stores will be open on Easter Sunday this year….

I am noticing that threads about certain GTS leaders getting deleted. Just for asking if they are leaving or not.
I do not see threads getting deleted for any other leaders.

A few questions regarding 3M's mascot, Scotty: Who watches him all day? What does it cost to have people watch him? Where does he go at night? How much did it cost to trademark his name: The Science Lab? How much time and money went into this decision (legal, PR cost, etc) to acquire him? Was he a rescue dog/puppy mill/legitimate breeder?
Is there any chance he will get laid off or spun-off?
Maybe a better mascot would be a black widow spider or a preying mantis, you know, one's that eat their own.

My boss said there is chatter that Microsoft Excel/Word/PowerPoint will be removed from everyone's computer. Google will be the new default.

What’s going on with the abrupt leadership change in AEP Texas?

Hi. I’m a Fidelity alumni, trying to help another Fidelity alumni get back in Fidelity. This person is a software engineer who left on their own free will and on good terms some time ago, and is open to returning to the company as a software engineer.

I’d like to know the pros and cons of working in each BU. Please try to list out the pros of each BU in terms of where the most career growth can be.

For all of you who may think it’s best to keep this person away from the firm, not everyone is the same. I personally would like to NEVER set foot in Fidelity again, all due respect. I am aware that Fidelity has its issues like reorgs, false job security, etc. Just list any pros and cons specific to each BU that you can think of which would help someone pick their poison with more information at hand.

Thank you.

Seriously, outside of short-sighted and short-lived cost cuts, has there ever been anything positive that can be associated with layoffs? We've been having one layoff after another, one restructuring after another, and nothing improves. In fact, it's the opposite. So what's the point?

Is that certain?

Is that now official?

"Silliness" LOL

The Beat mentioned Promotion and Reward cycles
When is this happening?
