Want to know who was recently laid off?

Not sure if this still works as I left the firm around a year ago to work for a fully remote brokerage (best decision in my career)… After someone gets laid off, their department changes in their profile to LABOR DECISIONS for 60 days before it deactivates. In outlook you can just search the keyword “LABOR” under department in the global contact list and leave everything else blank, and the list of all recently laid off employees will populate. Sometimes it takes a couple days after the layoff for it to update. Have fun!


Entire warehouse is getting let go Dec. 7th

Warehouse operations are to be handled by the third party company starting Dec. 7th. Was told that things will continue as usual until Dec. 7th when we are no longer employed by Pepsi. 2 weeks before Christmas. We are being offered/given a severance package. We've been encouraged to apply at the third party company and have been told we'd be given "priority" in the hiring process and wouldn't have to do an interview. We have some guys who have been with Pepsi for 40 years and are being laid off. Location is Everett, WA. The new company will be running things at the new Marysville location starting Dec. 7th.


TNL locations list

Hearing the new version of hub locations are TNLs, it's acronym but don't remember. Here ACE regional support staff, will have to relocate to TNL location or find another field facing position or leave company. Hear TNL list will be out later this year, impacted folks notified and decisions have to be made.


Hurt but not down

Was let go along with a few of my colleagues. I was not expecting anything different from management. Sent my stupid worthless laptop they think is more precious than people. Hope everyone is doing well. I have 2 kids and it hurts me to see them in their eyes to say Daddy is not working today


What’s Next

I was impacted and reading everyone’s threads has been both reassuring and sad. Thank you to everyone for sharing openly and honestly— when work culture suffers from toxic leadership and snuffs our ability to have actual community and honest conversation about the company we work(ed) for, we came here— I’m glad for that. I also am not using “toxic leadership” to score a hit— it’s a real construct with indicators and impact. Reading about it might help you put more objective (sorry for this term) language to what you’re experiencing.

If you’re still at Gartner, I do not envy you. I would prefer to still be working there rather than be unemployed, but I also can’t imagine what it was like/is like to be making calls and selling people on a place you can no longer trust. That would be hard.

My advice to those currently recruiting would be to not trust internal communications about Gartner performance. Remember that it benefits them to make you believe we are doing well. This makes us more effective sellers. I was an effective seller, and I am left feeling guilty for selling people on a lie- I put them in a position to experience what I have just gone through.

Trust what you are seeing with stock prices and quiet layoffs, and make a plan for if things change quickly. I had no plan, and I am paying for it now- the best I can do now is to suggest it to others.

If you’re a well-intentioned leader and you’re reading this, please know that I (and others) understand that you passed down the information you were given, which was the misleading “Gartner is doing great” speak that was all but smashed over our heads in the Q2 town hall. The best you can do is to not repeat this kind of speech to your teams: it leads to us being unprepared. We also get enough of it already through the carefully crafted corporate comms that reassure us we are a great company at all times. You don’t have to add your voice if you know there’s risk ahead for your people.

I will never get to speak to those who intentionally misled people who make 5% of their salary. Those most senior leaders manufactured security through talk tracks and inside Gartner emails that assured us of growth and opportunity, while designing layoffs in private. They do not know you and do not care about you. They will end your healthcare at midnight and give you four weeks of severance, all while telling you “when we do the right thing, great results will follow.”

Be very cautious, whether you’re still there or not. Have a plan. I am still most grateful for the people who did work ethically and without acting like Gartner gave a damn beyond the bottom line.
