I interned here, loved it, and turned down other jobs to come back. Four months later, I'm out with no warning and no explanation. Why hire people if you plan on getting rid of them within months?

They want me to quit
They can't lay me off without severance, so they're making me want to quit instead. That's the only conclusion I can make after my workload got cut to nothing, my meetings disappeared, and my manager stopped including me in planning. I guess they're hoping I'll eventually crack and submit my resignation. Or they'll try to fire me. Whatever it is, I'm definitely not going to do them any favors and walk away on my own. They have no idea how stubborn I can get.
Business Transformation getting Executives fired
I heard there was a BT team that got the old VPs/SVPs of base management and CS fired by pointing out how terrible their decisions were. How does one join this team?
Do ADs decide who gets RIFed
I’ve seen high performers get RIFed…if they’ve been on their ADs sh-t list. Does that imply AD had a say in the job loss? Serious feedback please no trolling
DW needs to GO.
DW is a problem and needless firings will always be on the table so long as she's the one making creative decisions.
What's new with Kronos
I think their trying real hard to trip people up so they can fire them. Then hire people with a low salary.
SRP is a joke
New name . Same horrible neglected products. The once proud data protection division is a shell of what it was and is mostly made up of the hangers on being replaced with the ngsa graduates who don't know any better and just want to get out to the field to them half your pay is the dream job and a massive raise. Many of the leaders are protected . Bainenl should go sniffing around there lots of dead wood and useless dead weight that if you fired the Monday hardly anyone one notice. Sad but true.
The General concensus
Like others here most would like to keep their jobs, to not have to start all over again. Nobody wished for layoffs, firings, etc. There were many times since the layoffs started that I would pray for that Golden Tuesday after payday. One would post about here and hear the smug response, I'd like to keep my job. Well wouldn't any person working just to survive. Now like others around me, the staged mid years are going on and we're getting not meets. Not meets we're told means NO severance. Like they're saying, chase the new carrot. Improve by year end or get fired, no severance for you. The kicker is they've changed the formula used for evals, where you're going to be not meets no matter what you do. They've hired 1,000's of new hires. I guess they've filled the quotas of cheap labor in the Philippines. The new hire class should be hitting the floor we're told in Roanoke, VA in the near future. Seems like that's when the closing Richmond site, will start the firings and the layoffs. As for me, since the cushy keeping the job is not an option...I am praying for a Tuesday after payday displacement. I'm envious of those fortunate to have been laid off with the golden ticket and 60 day non-working period. In retrospect, what good did it do to stay waiting for severance?! They've made it a no win situation. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The firings will continue, and they're saying sc--w your morale...they just want you to F off.
Hey managers, firing people to make the oligarchy richer is wrong. Don't be an enabler of the decimation of the middle class.
Lie your a-s off about why you can't be working Thursday:
Your throat is raw, you lost your voice, you are sick.
Someone close to you died.
Dropped your phone and lost all of your contact numbers.
Etc..
Terrible things have been done throughout history by "regular" people at the direction of those "above" them. Don't be one of those people. Stand up, find another job, whatever you need to do to keep some modicum of self respect and respect for your fellow human.
Cameron Brady getting fired?
Someone posted that he may be getting fired. Is there any merit to that claim? I know most people think he should be fired but I’m curious if there is any merit to the claim that he will be fired
"Layoffs" are not true layoffs at SF
Just a heads-up... firings are commencing at a rapid rate in certain areas. If you have many years with the company and the expectations lately have shifted until they feel like heavy proverbial noose...wiggle out of there quick! You will get no warning. Just bam. Random day, random hour...they'll come for you.... and you are left with NOTHING. Just so relieved my Mom finally saw the light and already changed companies for her own coverages. She herself a retiree with many years of service at SF. People mean LESS THAN NOTHING to SF anymore.
Not that sad to be heading out to make my life better now; I am prepared to make changes and succeed despite that company trying to make me feel more useless every day. When I succeed wildly-and I WILL!- I will have them in mind....only in the most negative way possible.
Not falling for it
The new strategy seems clear - scare us into quitting so they don't have to pay severance. Managers are allowed to treat people terribly and threaten us with firings but I've never seen anyone actually fired. Let them try. I'm not doing them any favors. If they want me out, they can pay me what I'm owed.
PIP for Non Immigrant Workers in USA
Is IBM using PIPs to exclusively get rid of employees who are US citizens?
Do you know of any H1B employees have been been put on PIP and fired for not being able to successfully complete the PIP.
Three things need to happen IMMEDIATELY on Sept 2!
1) Change the name of Truist. People still make fun of it.
2) Fire all management and hire business support groups to win business for the bank. Corrupt management has plagued this bank.
3) Get out of the d-mbest contracts alive with the golf sponsorship and the Braves. They add ZERO value. The bank has plummeted despite having these sponsorships and apply the money to better suit shareholders.
Everett purge / Boston purge
I am being let go today at 10am well I think at 10am there is a random meeting with myself and the wonderful people team and my manager set for then. I haven’t been here long , was out of the Boston office told to go to Everett for time being. Only been with company for 4 years, so I’m not too upset. The way they went about it was just unprofessional in my honest take. My grandmother died last year and I will admit I didn’t put In for bereavement right away due to I was very close to her and had to travel to California for services. They got me with failure to meet RTO because I was in fact red for that time period so I guess it’s my own fault. Just to me seems dastardly to get me for that when I’ve gotten all meets or above since I have been here. I told my manager I know it’s not his fault and he apologized but I guess that is how they are doing things now. Just be careful with your days in office or any tiny hang up they can get you on. Wish everyone good luck in finding new jobs away from here.

Serious Question: Will an employee get money for pending sabbatical during firing?
Please help enlighten.
Employees can make a case to fire Geoff
We need at least 35,000 insider posts on this and can guarantee we can get rid of Geoff if all of you employees rally. Let’s go.
A shift I've noticed
It used to be formal layoffs with packages were the only thing to worry about. Now they're moving toward firing people individually. I personally know three people let go for reasons that made no sense. One had fine reviews but was told their performance was poor. Really? I hope they talk to a lawyer.
Firing Today June 9, 2026
A friend in GD was fired today for not going into the office. No severance package, realy firing. Has this happened in any other group? Was this just GD or did it occur in other BUs/CFs?
Fire these folks!
If you’ve ever met the team leads of Home Delivery such Fax or Document Management team, they should lay them off. Never i have ever seen team tech leads do absolutely nothing in the office, finding ways to avoid work as well as tormenting employees in front of management to show how powerful they are. No wonder Home Delivery is losing funding. You guys are paying employees to sit around and do nothing
Geoff got all choked up…
Thought he was gonna cry saying goodbye to his buddy Brett on the earnings call. Clearly he didn’t want to fire him and EM forced his hand. Neuroscience performance was awful (again)… when was the last time they hit plan??? Getting rid of Brett was long overdue— Geoff you are next
Scott Pelley Out !
long time veteran journalist Scott Pelley has been fired by a set of incompetent baffoons at CBS. The ? is now: which institution will last longer: 60 Minutes, Mutual of America, or the Titanic ?
Q1 is here. When do firings start again?
First week or later in June after reorg dust settles?
stock still very low
time to replace our good old CTO. He is old and not performing optimal. He should be fired!!!!
Mid year ratings
Let the fun times begin cause it’s almost upon us. Who wants to place bets that we will see a repeat of last year with falsifying ratings so they can terminate people based on bogus performance? Then Robbie can look amazing for saving the bank millions without saying how
Bad leadership
Can you imagine inheriting a team, firing or bullying them all out, hiring a new team by yourself and have them all fired or leave within 18 months?
There has to be a trend and it can't be the fault of the 11 people fired or left under her
Thoughts?

CEO fired today?
PD lit up DM today and may be getting fired soon. NE named next CEO??
Oldie but goodie question
Actually, a few: (1) What is the time that one is contacted to be told they are being let go – – or fired? (2) Are they still sticking to every other Tuesday or is it any day of the week? (3) with the mid year evaluations coming up, are they holding on the firings and layoffs until after the midyear reviews are presented?
Several people fired on 5/11/2026
Several people fired on 5/11/2026.
Unknown total.
Alight Fires People who did the right job
The CEO is a maniac and literally fires people without knowing what they do. It's an odd strategy for success.
Anyone from Talentsource laid off
Did anyone from Talensource get let go?
Asking for a friend.
Any more disaster in RevOps? When will Nicole Collins get fired? She needs to go
Silent firing 2.0
Surprised BofA isn't featured at the top. Silent firing 2.0 is the 2026 playbook for pushing workers out without paying severance. https://www.metaintro.com/blog/silent-firing-2026-managed-out-playbook
Dell Pro Plus Premium Premiere Platinum +++
Love this model. Such a great brand name!
Do we not have the d-mbest Product Marketing group in all the world? That entire group should be fired / WFRd for this colossal embarrassment. They flushed millions / billions in brand equity down the toilet. So Stupid!!
HR Advisory Services - Elavon / MPS
As a whole, HR Advisory Services for Elavon / MPS is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are literally salivating to fire individuals. Spreadsheet management hacks at best. Placing any trust in this team of veiled “consultants” would be a bad move. Stay far away, the clock is ticking and they’re out for blood.
Tech in Iselin
Some teams are firing. Some teams are hiring. Some teams are hiring from India sponsoring H1B visa.
