How many days a week do you come on-site?

Is 1, 2, 3 days a week strictly enforced?

For my non-purchase colleagues. Interesting morning today, peaceful protestors encased their feet in cement. So random HaHa

heard no rumours yet. still, all the public announcements made on the investor day last month seem pointing to layoffs for HQ thanks to f@#king AI. Need to lawyer up now?

Are the people who have been hired before, to analyze the company for layoff advice, holding clipboards? If so, saw them at a HQ today.

The layoffs affect employees at 11 San Diego facilities, including its headquarters, but no plants will be closed, according to the WARN notice.

Just heard they are moving the corporate offices to Nashville, TN

This is being driven by lower costs in TN and the overall strategic shift to prioritize Healthspring

Anybody hear the Continental will open an office in Houston to support international operations?

Not sure how you are able to give up more exec seats and move the company headquarters to the smaller company but DVN was able to do it!

Visited Estero Global Headquarters today and witnessed large areas without furniture, tons of empty desks, hardly anyone in the building. Clearly didn’t look like the HQ of a major global corporation. Asked the few zombies roaming around and the general consensus is that Estero HQ was sold with a small HQ opening in Atlanta to “keep the last few lights on”. This doesn’t look good at all. Are we going out of business or cp11 coming again? I remember visiting Estero in 2018 and every workstation was occupied. The place was buzzing with activity everywhere.

Anybody got the tea?

AT&T announced on January 5, 2026, that it will relocate its global corporate headquarters from Whitacre Tower at 208 S. Akard Street in downtown Dallas to a new, modern campus in Plano, Texas.

The new headquarters will be built on a 54-acre site at 5400 Legacy Drive (former Electronic Data Systems/EDS campus, unoccupied since 2018). The company plans to demolish existing buildings on the site and construct a low-rise, horizontal campus designed for collaboration. This will consolidate operations from its current locations in Dallas, Plano, and Irving, affecting around 6,000 employees. Partial occupancy is targeted for the second half of 2028.
Estimated Cost of the Move (Including Demolition and Rebuild)

No official cost figure has been disclosed by AT&T as of early 2026. However, based on the project’s scale and comparable corporate campus developments:
• Land acquisition — Likely in the range of $50–$150 million (the site was part of a larger parcel previously eyed for a $4 billion life sciences district called Texas Research Quarter).
• Demolition — The old EDS campus includes multiple buildings (e.g., two eight-story structures connected by a bridge). Commercial demolition typically costs $4–$8 per square foot; for an estimated 500,000–1 million sq ft of existing structures, this could be $20–$80 million.
• New construction — Modern corporate campuses (with offices, amenities, parking, and green space) often cost $300–$600 per square foot. Assuming 1–2 million sq ft of new buildable space (similar to AT&T’s current ~2 million sq ft downtown footprint but spread horizontally), construction alone could range from $500 million to $1.5 billion.
• Additional costs — Site preparation, infrastructure, IT/data center fit-out, landscaping, employee relocation/transition, and potential incentives negotiations could add $100–$300 million.
• Total estimated project cost — $1–$2 billion (potentially higher if premium amenities like fitness centers, childcare, or sustainable features are included, as seen in similar Texas campuses like Toyota’s North American HQ in Plano, which cost over $1 billion).

This is a rough estimate based on industry benchmarks for large-scale corporate campus developments in Texas. Actual costs could vary significantly depending on design specifics, inflation, and any public incentives from Plano (the city has previously offered reimbursements for site redevelopment). AT&T has emphasized the move as “cost-effective” long-term due to consolidation and employee commute improvements.

The current Dallas lease at Whitacre Tower runs through 2031, so AT&T may sublease or maintain some presence downtown during the transition.

Let’s have some fun.

The plan was to allow people to choose to move to Dallas and choose a home near HQ or south, where homes are slightly more affordable. Then move HQ ~26 miles north (which falls within the loophole for severance), adding another hour plus of traffic if you live near downtown Dallas. This will NOT be the only move that will be happening. other reporting locations near Dallas are also moving north.

Coincidently the company is aware of what demographics will be most disproportionally impacted. For those employees who live in south Dallas, this will put your drive (in traffic) to about 2.5 hours each way.

I was there, nearly 10 years ago, when they announced the campus redesign. All of the buildings were outdated and in disrepair. Ford announced a major campus design for it's product development campus: new parking buildings, new buildings, and renovations for every existing building.

Work began, everyone was excited. Then unexpectedly, Billy Ford announces that he had Ford buy a Train Station (ironic). Questions began as to what was going to happen with the campus redesign. We were assured it would still continue and it did; albeit scaled down. Instead of tearing down all of PDC, only some of it would be torn down and instead of a complete campus redesign only one new building (beside car parking lot) would be built on the campus.

Everyone waited patiently for the new PDC building to be built. And that's what we were calling it, the 'new PDC'. Then only a couple of weeks before the building was set to open up. Ford leadership decided that they liked the new building too much to allow it to be just another engineering building and that it would be their new headquarters.

What was wrong with the old World Headquarters? Nothing.

Ask yourself, why didn't they announced that it was going to be the new World Headquarters years ago when the construction first broke ground? Why wait until weeks before opening to announce that it will be the new headquarters?

FU product development, that's why.

Have fun remaining in PDC where the air conditioning doesn't always work. Shout-out to the IT support teams that had to work out of that Atrium. Hopefully they'll let you move into the new building and you won't be subjected to that humid stale air all day.

Moving HQ to TX, tax incentives

I guess they aren’t going to bother to address the quiet layoffs they’ve had this week at HQ?

There has been some rumors going around about a new corporate office location opening in queen creek. Has anyone else heard this?

On Tuesday, we’ll share changes to our headquarters structure as an important step in accelerating how we work. This includes eliminating about 1,800 non-field roles—about 8% of our global HQ team. As we make these changes, I’m asking all U.S. HQ team members to work from home next week. Target in India and our other global teams will follow their in-office routines.

In a third round of layoffs, Newmont Corp. plans to let go 65 employees at its headquarters in Denver, bringing to 107 the number of recently announced staff reductions.

Newmont, the world’s largest mining company, notified state and Denver officials Wednesday that the layoffs are expected to occur around Dec. 14. The announcement follows one in August that 19 employees would be laid off and one Oct. 1 that 23 positions, primarily in its headquarters, would be terminated on or around Nov. 30.

I’ve always wondered which floor is the exec floor at the Chicago HQ. It used to be 15 but that floor is currently being renovated I think.

Walgreens plans to exit its space at Chicago’s Old Post Office, though its headquarters remains in Deerfield, the company confirmed Monday — news that comes shortly after the sale of Walgreens to a private equity firm.

Walgreens will leave the massive, riverfront structure in January, as the company aims to “renew our focus on our stores and customer experience,” said spokesperson Fraser Engerman.

“Our commitment to serving communities across the country begins in our pharmacies and retail locations, and this decision reflects our continued prioritization of those investments,” Engerman said.
Engerman declined to say how many employees now work at the Old Post Office. But Walgreens moved many of its digital and IT employees there in early 2020, making it one of the first tenants in the building after it was renovated into an upscale office property.

Minnesota is no longer the state it was. Watch the documentary “A precarious state MN” on YouTube. Why not move corporate headquarters out of Minnesota to a more tax friendly state? Save on corporate taxes, vs laying off workers . Employee survey is coming up. Not sure that the people living in MN would suggest this, but it seems like a great alternative. Bonus, if they moved headquarters out of MN that would allow those staying in MN to work remotely. Just a thought. I am so sick and tired of seeing good people let go.

Yesterday, September 29, Sally Beauty Holdings laid off its entire in-house creative team in an effort to save overhead costs. They will instead be outsourcing labor to save money and align with competitors. This hits right before Q1, and right as the company moves into a new headquarters aimed at increasing collaboration and productivity.

Sale of Calgary Quarry Park campus, tentative agreement in place

Relocate Calgary roles in 2028 to sites, predominantly Edmonton refinery.

Includes offshoring > 500 roles to Houston, and global business centers in India, Argentina, Bangkok

XOM and Imperial Oil decide to divest Calgary-based non-core assets and restructure to stay competitive in a shifting regional and global energy market:

1- Calgary Quarry Park HQ: Sold to Brookfield, monetizing underutilized space. This mirrors Imperial’s real move to donate its former research centre and labs to SAIT, reinforcing a Calgary real estate pullback.

2- Corporate functions: Relocated to Edmonton, aligning headquarters with upstream operations.

3- Employee impact: Calgary staff offered relocation to operational or refinery sites, redeployment packages, or voluntary exits.

4- Cold Lake & Kearl: Continue to run as profitable oil sands assets, with upgrader units ensuring bitumen flows meet refinery specs. Over time, Imperial phases in project-level JVs with partners like Suncor and Cenovus on select expansions — sharing cost, technology, and risk without ceding full control.

5- Logistics & infrastructure (Midstream segment): Throughput and tariff agreements renegotiated with Enbridge and TC Energy, leveraging planned Mainline expansions and ~$2.5B Enbridge system upgrades. Rail partnerships with CN and CPKC improve flexibility to U.S. Gulf and Midwest markets.

6- Downstream operations:
Strathcona refinery (Edmonton) remains a central hub, now with renewable diesel capacity.
Sarnia refinery & chemical complex anchors the eastern market.
Nanticoke refinery complements Sarnia, strengthening Imperial’s Ontario downstream footprint.

Staff relocations tied into these downstream assets keep talent aligned with refining/chemical demand centers.
