I feel like I work with incompetent people. Some I seriously question how they keep their jobs. Am I alone here? Am I just unlucky? I get technical gaps but this is basic common sense and elementary math.

What’s your insight? Let’s put it here.

What’s up with onsemi selling machines , does it mean anything?

Who else was impacted today?

I'm seeing people report layoffs all over the place.

Anyone else seeing random positions created and prioritized over necessary reqs? Im seeing alot of it now and itn random locations not in the forced “growth locations”

Thoughts on the latest AMA? Felt very avoidant and not full answers.

What is it?

Since we all headed there...

Why is everyone so obsessed with patents these days? Do these patents and white papers that people produce hold any value? .Most of them seem to be junk

So… Friday was a hard day.

What are we seeing…

Does anybody have an inkling what we might be looking at? I'm afraid to even think of the possibilities.

Last week Verizon held a meeting with employee representatives of the European Works Council
Does anyone have any information about what was discussed?
So far no details have been released about what happened

I tried bringing it up and got shot down immediately. That’s frustrating, because if compensation is off-limits, there’s no way to know who’s being underpaid, and I’m guessing it’s more common than people think.

Any new changes?

I am appalled by the level of the discussions in this forum. We need a panel discussion to raise the intellectual level of the discussions in this forum!

Why? Seems strange, is Stefan still thinking about Content Server? Why Directory Services and not just OpenLDAP?

Just curious. And, yes, I can look it up on my own but just wanted to prompt others into thinking. This is not good.

seems like someone opened up jak and typed "how do i turn uniti into frontier" then proceeded to follow the instructions provided.

What are the other Optum / UHG layoff boards that are legit and have activity or is this the only one?

I. E. Layoffs

Haven't heard a thing.

How is IBM this in efficient. Is this a known fact?

Am I to accept the efficiency and move on.

Help!

Anyone have details on the upcoming reorg?

Just popped in and was surprised to not see a thread on the announcement this week. It's creating gossip for sure, would like to hear from people who feel they can speak freely though. I don't have dealings with them directly, but based on the comments I've seen in here, that seems to be a good thing. Do people think this will improve the culture? Are people relieved or worried what could come after this?

Does anyone know the logic behind who was determined to be JE’d?

See this link. I've added details in the post comments

Kodak: Market cap 727 million. 3,700 employees.
Xerox: Market cap 247 million. 16,000 employees.
Is there a “right” layoff number or is this even a factor at this point? What am I missing here?

“What you've just said is one of the most insanely id--tic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now d-mber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Should I take that as a good sign? Or is it just the calm before the storm?

A email was sent regarding a meeting that is supposedly coming up with the new Operations Senior Director. Per the email, the new Operations Senior Director wants to get “acquainted with our business”. Any ideas of on what this could mean? No date has been set for the meeting yet, just an email saying it will be soon.

Like a year? How long has it been?

I thought there wasn’t a correlation between layoffs and stock.

Just high level talk with no substance - we are doomed

havent heard anything yet

Anyone else sick of ebitda ruining the vcip??

I’m curious about these numbers that are shared during the analyst meetings etc. Is there any breakbown of the number or percentages,of existing clients moving to the cloud, and net new clients signing contracts? That would really provide a health check. Is SAP merely cannibalizing the client base, or is there a reasonable amount of net new clients coming in?
