This forum won’t let me reply on my own post I keep getting this and it’s been over an hour:

“You have recently submitted a post. In order to prevent spamming, posting is limited to one post per minute. Please submit again in a short while.”

Join the BP Layoff for daily updates on the Train Wreck known as BP

This site has become nothing what it was intended to be. Stop with the politics and your “ever so important” and “only you are right” views. It’s a board about employment and layoffs. Can we focus and stop being so childish please? Anyone?? What have you heard? Who should be concerned about their jobs etc…? That is what this is here for people. You’re filling it up with nonsense trying to cause political debates that will never be solved here. It’s not an outlet for your frustrations. Let’s be grown up professionals.

Here we go! Day one of ELT's move to get more of us to quit. Post your concerns, complaints, funny stories, frustrations, etc in this thread so we can keep the comment section active for our neighborhood ELT trolls who love to lurk here (they are useless anyway, so might as well give them something to do today). Good luck everyone, and enjoy the collaboration this week! 🤡

PS. r/st louis (edward jones) has a post from a few days ago that links this site if reddit is more your scene.

BAC, JPM, C, USB. Seems like the closest competition comes from Truist.

This site was once a community and source of knowledge. It’s in a tailspin of conspiracy theories.

• When someone makes a reference to an exec from 3 years ago, and is no longer here. Ignore them.

• When someone makes an outrageous claim like “30% of us will be laid off” - do the math. That would be the largest layoff in USAA history times 3. That’d be nearly 11,000 employees to be laid off this year. They have no details. No sources. Just vague fear and round numbers. Ignore them.

• When someone is posting about a single person every week. Ignore them. That’s an unhinged person.

• We need to collectively stfu about RTO. There’s quite literally nothing we can do about it. The company has moved on. Society has moved on. Every other company has moved on.

Turns out when HR shills report your post, you are also banned for two days-- this does explain why so many OPs go quiet when their posts are removed. Anyway, that's why I've gone quiet.

I did not delete the post "Making a list of what we know." It was reported. Not unfairly, I might add!

Sincerely, OP

This forum seems to have a large uptick today with the topic of layoffs. I was there something spread today in the works?

What evidence is there for that?

I just put one in on two chats. My comment is there but TheLayoff says no replies yet? What’s up?

All the haters are alive and well in this channel. Go touch grass haters. Intel is here to stay and dominate!!

This site should be one that provides information for those who have been affected by a layoff. It has devolved into name calling, bashing the company, and just saying mean things about current employees. Seriously, if you just want to say mean stuff, go post on Twitter.

There are repeater posters on here that are doing nothing but trying to scare people that all is lost. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Seems like all posts and posters are Nike tech or adjacent.

Moderator?

Many of the posts have views in the 3000 plus range today alone. It seems that people are sharing this site. There is power in sharing accurate information. There is another call tomorrow. Would someone attending please post about it? Be kind to yourselves, you deserve it.

Just listened to the CISO’s open forum held this week. Says that Intel is now back. This is good news all our problems are in the rearview mirrors.

You’re not imagining it — TheLayoff.com quietly removed the site‑wide search bar, and the individual company pages (like AT&T’s) no longer include their own search box either. But you still have reliable ways to search within the AT&T section.

## 🔍 The fastest method: Use Google’s “site:” search
This works even though the site removed its own search.

In Google, type:

site:thelayoff.com/at-and-t   your keywords here

Examples:

• site:thelayoff.com/at-and-t surplus
• site:thelayoff.com/at-and-t RTO
• site:thelayoff.com/at-and-t bonus
• site:thelayoff.com/at-and-t layoffs 2026

This restricts results only to the AT&T page and its subthreads, not the rest of the site.

## 🔎 Option 2: Use TheLayoff’s hidden “Search” page
They removed the search bar, but the search endpoint still exists:

https://www.thelayoff.com/search.php

Once there, enter your keyword, then filter manually by looking for results under /at-and-t.

This is less precise than Google but still works.

If you could ask any question what would it be?

Share this site with your colleagues it’s important that we all communicate with each other. What’s happening in this company is ridiculous. Sammy has destroyed this companyl

Share this site,we need to create a union!

Things I’ve learned in 3 years of reading this board and working at WF

1) The CEOs real name is Schart
2) Every Tuesday after a paycheck is going to be a bloodbath
3) The lady that works in the cafeteria can really annoy someone
4) Sol gets free stuff and announces it every Friday in an Email
5) TK doesn’t know the difference between Netscape and Netflix.
6) Sommerseve and the rest of the WIM execs are moving to Palm Beach and that annoys most people.
7) Mr Flowers smells like #6’s name
8) Some leader on Long Island is a nepo baby hire and is bad at their job
9) SuMo is a person in risk that is not nice but no one knows who the heck they are talking about
10) Everyone who posts on this board knows an Exec who told them something or overheard a conversation from a c suite person had
11) RTO is not fair. It’s just not fair

Do you guys think executives know about this site and/or care about anything said?

What’s wrong with all the posts on this site? This place is a complete mess. Can anyone explain what’s happening at Ford?

WARN notice said 54 laid off in Baltimore alone. However, posts on this forum comment on ~59 laid off altogether from the Global Marketing and Distribution Enablement layoffs globally. Does that mean over 90% of cuts were in Baltimore alone?

Why don’t they layoff staff in EMEA and APAC? It seems unfair.

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 are all the Reddit posts on the r/Waterloo page? We need our own page. Would have been eye opening to read through prior to signing my contract. But now I get to sleuth this website and random others for any insights. Huge loss and su-ks for anyone considering this place to not have a consolidated resource to read through

With the split and not technically working for att will there be a new forum for forged?

What I find comical is when someone tries to give people the heads up on this board and its often met with heckling and jeering. When the day comes shortly thereafter…..it gets all serious. The hecklers disappear and can’t be found, most undoubtedly combing the emails, group chats and personal texts to see if “it” is coming their way.

This forum will get very busy in Q2 - just get ready.

"Unethical conduct needs to be exposed
BNY is force ranking long tenured employees with PM or BE and depriving them from the Severance, it so disgraceful towards people who have given so much to the company none of the past reviews matter. We should report this in social media if we do in number that will speak for itself…. When we don’t have NDA what are we loosing?"

"time for managers to take a stand. Bullsh-t that good employees now being called underperformers to not pay severance. UNETECHAL.

COMPANY NEEDS TO PAY OR GET CALLED OUT"

"Until we band together as a large group nothing is going to change. And I don't see enough people with a backbone willing to to this. Too many sheeple afraid of losing their jobs. Well most of us are probably going to lose them anyway so might as well fight for it instead of lay down."

"We need to get together and start a forum to keep in step with their plan of “reduce staff with minimal expense” (don’t pay severance)
Power in numbers .
Could someone set it up ?Or should I ? Is there interest???"

"This place is toxic

They’re trying to break us so we leave and they dont have to pay severance. We have all experienced it or witnessed the behaviors. , U.S staff treated like 2nd class citizens, wrongful terminations, intentional forced ratings etc. The list goes on and on. Its not going to stop until we all come together and try to do something. We need to report them to your states EEOC . Get An investigation going."

"mgmt does push back and literally gets told its not optional by upper mgmt. if lower level dont make changes which we havent, upper does it regardless. Everyone needs to report the company or it wont stop. We all have local leaders and each state has EEOC plus put it on record with ethics. Mgmt knows there are forced rankings can testify too the bullsh-t as well. Stay silent this sh-t continues while we get let go and india makes out taking our jobs"

"You can turn it in to your states EEOC. As a mgr i can 💯 confirm they forced ratings and changed them after we entered them to hit their reduction %. People have challenged this and the attempt to not give severance and noted on this site they have won. Others noted journalists or lawyers looking into this and wanting details. Check out the “fight them” post"

If you don't have any experience with pseudo anonymous forums online, just know that it's incredibly easy for literally one person to pose as multiple people to steer the narrative in any direction.

There are no IDs tied to individual posters or IP addresses here, so you don't even need to use different devices or a vpn to completely spam this forum.

People can and do pretend to be other people all the time, not just to troll but to try and warp reality to their perspective. Just something to keep in mind when you read posts here.

This site is supposed to be updates, gossip, word on the street etc etc and the latest post was weeks ago. Either no railroader is posting or their being deleted. Anyone being laid off? Hard to believe that’s not the case. How about critical rules? People quit getting wrote up or what? Come on we need some creditable gossip on here!!!!!!

1st post - I’ve checked in here for a while on and off occasionally and my sentiment is largely the same. Full disclosure - I left a while ago.

What if this forum could coordinate our frustrations and impact (even small positive) change? Yeah, I know - doubters, I hear you already and don’t disagree. If the board has not fired him already, chances are slim if not zero.

You know, there are several thousand views to each post on this forum. This means people take time to read what is here and, I want to believe that frustrated or not, it’s because people care. I am sure some are bots and some are random, but I do believe most are not. (Maybe that’s too optimistic?)

RTO silliness - really sad - just the latest example of clueless leadership - I’m sorry (sincerely).

But, what if?

Give your feedback and hit the arrows to the post up or down (like or not). If there are more downs then ups, this is my only post. Maybe this is just a healthy outlet for frustration - if so, OK! (I know it’s needed)

But if this larger group wants to rally, and feels the promise of Truist pre-merger and the actual failure of achievement of potential due to poor leadership cannot be fulfilled, maybe there are a few constructive (non-violent of course) actions that can be pursued. Whether you were hBBT or hST or even new since then, How do you feel? Don’t worry about comments, just hit the arrow up or down. Let’s see how this forum feels about this post.

If you have work friends that you can trust, invite them to check in here from time to time. Whether a real movement and strategies emerge or not who knows but growing the audience matters.
