So does ppl even get emails before they get revoked?

I know Chevron monitors activity. Obviously. But has anyone else received a new pop up to confirm that we understand and agree with our appropriate use policies? I’ve asked around and my peers haven’t received….

What is the deal with the hatred towards IT at Chevron? Its pure he-l working here in IT as you are treated as a 3rd class citizen. We are the first for our ignorant ELT to pick on for cuts all while that advertise around Houston how they are technologically advanced and talking about how important IT is. For those who say we dont pump oil, try to do your job now without IT. Like getting paid, well software makes it happen.

Will IT be hit again in this next round of layoffs

Anyone working remotely from Thailand for Bank of America — any issues with IT or access, or was it fine? Thanks.

Any likelihood of Headcount Freeze being lifted any time soon. this is regarding a job on the IT side. Thank you.

Aravind/ Blanchard’s org “flattened “‘even more.

Aravind is the one leading the effort to outsource to India- FYI

What's going on in IT? Two years ago there was one VP/GM position, the CIO, although they were approved for two. Now there are three VPs, including the CIO; the second VP position (then GM) was filled in 2024. That's a big increase in comp as VP's are a min of $850K (salary, VCIP, and RSUs), plus other benefits. I guess the recent layoffs in IT paved the way for the increase in comp for the newest VP. Welcome to the club!!

With the CIO shown the exit door, who will do more lay offs now in IT?

I'm going to tell IT I want them to uninstall Outlook from my laptop because for some reason I can't uninstall Outlook myself. I stopped reading or responding to emails last fall. There is no value in the emails I receive, and it's a waste of my time to move all the unread emails to my delete folder every day.

I’m hoping someone in management will read this and wonder why we have Refining PCN doing the majority of IT infrastructure, and IcS staff at sites are pretty much useless and do very little of the core business.
It’s the biggest waste of resources at the sites. If you look at the top 2 incentives they implemented ClarOty and SolarWinds are totally a joke. ClarOty isn’t doing anything and ICS management is projecting the benefits. Ask any PCN Team lead they will laugh!
Please help us at the sites!!!

Destroyed one of the best IT organizations in the industry. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

What functionality still runs on the mainframe and what has been ported to Cloud?

With the number of major IT incidents after a big layoff event, LC has his whole organization follow his EY friends' direction of making tactical work very visible by spending more time in Azure DevOps (ADO) than actually delivering work.

It's unfortunate that business leaders (as well as his own boss RB) cannot go into ADO and read the ridiculous types of features and stories that IT employees are being forced to put into ADO. A fine tool for developers has been ba----dized into an overwhelming complicated task list, with the CIO having prioritized data quality in ADO as his top item to deliver. There are literally hundreds of thousands of entries, each entry with the expectation of having completeness, with scrum masters and RTEs writing up stories that effectively means "schedule a meeting with stakeholders xyz" with a value of 10 because they had to fill in all these ridiculous fields.

How can RB be OK with this? An entire IT department wasting their lives away..

Saw this one coming. 13 or so people gutted from eviCore IT Technical Support. Watch those positions open up at HIH in the next couple hours.

Good luck folks! Hope everyone finds work quickly. They got a good handful of us this am In IT. Brutal hit for our teams. Decisions were made after the town hall in dec. But if you got a invite this afternoon thats prob good news. The cuts were already made this am.

I already got my invite with upper management - a 1on1 invite that has never happened before. In Evernorth IT side.

Bass Pro Shops is looking to decrease their overhead costs by reducing the use of US based employees. Many layoffs across the company and acquisitions. Seem to be following their leadership in using offshore contractors to decrease cost of US-based talent.

I was laid off after Q1 results were announced, even though there was no formal announcement of any cuts by the company. Came as quite a surprise.
They are doing stealth cuts every quarter, may not be a high number that they need to announce, but its happening every quarter.

Roughly a month ago the UK IT team were laid off without any consideration.
After many of the Hellaby office started to complain we're needed, they back tracked and said there's three positions in Hellaby and the London team is now staying.
The current director - who knows NOTHING about IT- is being made team lead. I repeat, NOTHING about IT and it's issues.
Their name rhymes with Haki Sidey.

Having worked here for a bit on the IT team, I can tell you there's nothing good coming from this.
All laptops are expected to have a 10-20 day dispatch time!
From our current 1-2 day for UK

AI and India have ki-led this company.

Are there any upcoming layoffs/RIFS in IT departments, besides SRE?

Having an outage to many employees whose laptops have been disabled, some since yesterday. Waiting on Vendor to resolve

Will there be a second wave of IT layoffs in 2026?

My team got hit. Me, another senior architect and my manager!

Been here for 3 years. They mentioned "financial struggles".

FYI, I'm on the I.T. side working with Epic.

My take is that Services & Strategy is the most useless area of IT thanks to the SVP that Smurphy hired (surprise surprise). All they have done is introduced a dumpster fire of a process to "manage" demand and a half-baked attempt to prepare for RTO. Thoughts?

Send in Engine!!!!!!!!

Ok.. my understanding is depts such as Hr, finance and IT are vistance networks
So what happens then if Ruckus and aurora networks are both sold off

Some companies don't keep any employees for longer than a day or two once they've put in their two weeks notice. Other companies only immediately cut you off if you have certain types of data access, security clearance etc.

What does Cigna typically do? Particularly for onshore Band 4 employees in IT.

KP, the witch herself, announced today that Sales, Marketing, and Workforce Solutions are now joining. Get ready folks in IT, another RIF is at the doorstep.

What are you hearing about COP outsourcing IT to India? Hearing a lot of rumors.

Looking to apply for a few positions

Looks like big hiring going on in Data Protection and Data Resiliency. Looks like they're beefing up that area...even after the laid off many people. See posting on LinkedIn.

There is no US IT left. These rounds will finish us off. The only good news is there is a rumor we heard that David is out looking for a new CIO again. We knew that had to come after the latest mess last month. Maybe the new one will rebuild the function back on shore. Where it belongs. The clowns in India keep sending useless code. Do you see the same? We re-do their work again and again.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota and Cambia Health Solutions will affiliate. North Dakota regulators approved the strategic affiliation. The affiliation takes effect February 1. Dan Conrad becomes Cambia's chief administrative officer, and Lacey Bergh is the new BCBSND market president. Policyholders will keep their current health care coverage and BCBSND insurance cards. BCBSND will also retain its local plan name and board of directors. Cambia will manage and operate the North Dakota company's policy, claims, and IT functions.

Wonder if anyone got impacted? Or IT is saved for February layoffs?

More layoffs in IT late last week
Hear it was ~100 people
Almost all remote workers gone
still no CTO since Scott Spradley (IT being run by HP / Tyson cronies )
Plenty of Chicken People still around pushing for more of their chicken friends to join

Quite a few layoffs happened in November 2025, right before the U.S. mid-term election day so it would get buried in the news. It affected administrative and IT positions not only at hubs but smaller airports. "People were being immediately escorted out in large groups of ten or more." The 2025 third quarter "dog and pony show" right before those layoffs was completely out of touch, per usual, and they reported spending millions on a "grab-and-go" food section at CLT, a new alcohol partner for first class, and a yet "really bad" earnings quarter. Their Station GMs had a mandatory in-person "training retreat" the week prior and were told of the layoffs, but told not to tell their staff. As someone who's seen AA's lack of oversight and poor spending decisions from as far back as their US Airways merger days up close, and attempted to put an end to them, I am not surprised. "AA is an 800-pound gorilla." Money was/is overspent right and left. Accounts being auto-paid for services no longer rendered or properties no longer occupied, etc. simply because it's too big and no one is watching. Rather than practicing natural talent attrition from the COVID days, and truly evaluating work supported by operational, administrative and IT positions for already skeleton teams, they resorted to these drastic layoffs. I would not be surprised if non-hub mainline stations will all transition to partners starting in 2026, corporate's out-of-touch management and spending simply can't sustain both them and the field.

That's one of this years IT KPIs.

These folks have the ba--s to send me an email telling me they were sending a box for IT equipment. I gave my stuff to a senior manager after my RIF meeting. I have been a model employee, a PEAK Achievement winner, and asked for this stuff a week later. These people are heartless.
