#jobsecurity

I've lost my voice from p!$$!ng and moaning about losing my job. My fingers are raw and cramped from posting here and on other forums. My extended family won't have anything to do with me. My wife is threatening to leave me! I haven't been able to find another job. What do I do????

Just doing a survey should i stay at the hudson location or look for another. u think we will be here awhile

They're just slowly getting rid of everyone, first by offshoring and then with AI. They don't seem to realize that ki-ling jobs also degrades or ki-ls your products. But hey, no job is safe anymore anyway, I guess, so it is what it is.

Been here less than a year and now I have almost nothing to do. Boss doesnt care when I ask for more work. Is this how they phase people out before letting them go?

Sorry to say, well drilling gas virtually stopped and jobs are gone. We are in a recession! Cheap Gas isn’t good for oil companies

Expect a lot more layoffs soon. Hearing tons on the street. It will recover in time like it always does, but prepare for some rough years ahead

Record profits and I got my walking papers today as a senior engineer. Dozens of others too! Go Bank of India!

A lot of what I thought would happen is starting to happen right now. I’m not here anymore but figured I’d see as to is anything was changing and it turns out that the RTM position was tested in a few markets and now it’s rolling out in many areas probably most. Makes me even more glad I got out.

I was always saying to myself that my reasoning why it hadn’t yet been implemented in our area was that it would happen under the circumstances that enough reps and/or RMS’ would leave that they would just give everyone left one giant territory and that the person will have the duties of a sales rep while doing the duties like scheduling and everything else a typical manager would do. But since none of the people who said they would leave left it would be a matter of when this rolls out nationwide,

Can’t see why they have to make things worse than mission 1. With the amount of people who take packages im willing to bet that anyone who isn’t looking to leave sales rep RMS or DM will most likely have a job. With the amount who will likely leave they will likely make the territories for these people even bigger which would have to expand the role of the FTOWs.

Problem is they don’t have the manpower from FTOW. Not enough people are interested in it. Even from the outside world they can’t get anyone to work for them. Can’t blame them I was overworked and treated like such cr-p towards the end. Had I not gotten out this is what I’d be dealing with. Even worse being pushed harder while still having the same absymal pay.

Fresh off a favorable decision in its $2 billion legal dispute with a competitor, Pegasystems Inc. is cutting jobs.

The Waltham-based software company eliminated "less than 100 global positions" in its consulting organization last week as clients adopt Pega's new AI products, according to an email from a Pegasystems spokesperson on Monday.'

There’s a clause in the severance that states “you can not work for any competitor with in 12 months of accepting”. This seems highly unfair after a whole career in wireless. What an I supposed to do? Finds a completely different field and forget my years of experience? That’s so unfair… take the money and shut up or starve while you look for work!

My early 50s don't have much of a chance to start up again somewhere else. Time to stock market casino time and roll the dice with what I have built up. Do or die time.

North Star Health Alliance announced plans to eliminate about 120 positions in New York, with management roles most affected. The layoffs follow the loss of state funding in December after New York officials said the organization failed to provide sufficient spending details.

North Star disputes the claim, saying it has been transparent and is seeking continued state support. The job cuts will also affect some clinical and non-clinical staff.

Thousands of layoffs at Tyson Foods plants take effect Tuesday. Nearly 5,000 employees will lose their jobs in Texas and Nebraska. The Amarillo, Texas plant will cut 1,761 b-shift operations positions. The Lexington, Nebraska beef processing plant will close, displacing 3,212 workers. These actions are expected to reduce the country's beef processing by 7-9%.

Those in the know - are Micro AEs still on the chopping block or are we safe.. (for now)?

GL to everyone this week.

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

Is hiring for roles at the corporate office on some sort of a freeze? I was supposed to be a finalist for a position but am now being told the process is being paused. Any insight is greatly appreciated

I'm in one of those bad stretches in life when problems just pile up - family issues, aging parents, health stuff. Everything's breaking down all at once, and the bills keep piling up. I'd probably handle the job uncertainty better if everything else wasn't falling apart. As it is, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and make it complete.

how long will Medicaid D snip member services still be on shore? Does anybody know? Is it safer for me to jump over to the provider service aside the constant bloom of when the firing is gonna come it’s just stressing me out to the end. Is there a position that’s not for me transferred on unsure to another country

Should have went for something that wasn’t going to have me stuck in a dead end contract software developer/full stack developer role in a sector that’s full of layoffs.

The whispers of worst case scenario are getting old.

This place plans to get rid of you for any reason they can find now. Make it hard on them. Keep key notes out of reach, dont give all details and important bits of pertinent info when training, dont save anything where they can access what you created while here. Make it difficult . Stick it in on them every way you can think of. Why should your hard work be used after they cut the cord for made up reasons. They dont want to give merit so give them the performance they claim you earned. This is all going to burn them big time and im not sad about it. I hope we get too witness it or read about it in the news

Telecom used to be the kind of industry where you could build a career and retire from it, especially for engineers in RF, Systems and Networking. When many of us started out years ago, we accepted that trade-off: other fields might pay more, but telecom offered stability as long as you did your job well and stayed sharp. That sense of security is gone now. With the field clearly in decline, there’s really no reason for engineers to stay, or to encourage the next generation to work hard just to become one.

Everyone get ready for the real great replacement. Humanoid robots with AI learning are being taught how to do part deliveries and other logistical tasks. Gulfstream will do anything to improve their profit margins, so you better believe that they will find a way to replace every human worker at gulfstream with a robot that doesn't require bathroom breaks, food, vacations, health insurance or anything else that could possibly slow production down. They will be able to work 24/7/365, will be able to perform all the tasks we can without causing any DRDIs. It's not about if it happens, it's about when.

Job Security Through Education Is Gone.

Robert Kiyosaki argues that traditional job security is now obsolete. He cites recent large-scale corporate layoffs as evidence. Companies like UPS, Amazon, and Microsoft have cut thousands of jobs. Kiyosaki advises increasing financial intelligence instead of saving money. He recommends investing in assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

I guess no awards this year. The bank needs to drop thousands of jobs to meet their efficiency target, I assume this is the start to get people to leave in their own.

Hello-
I'm lucky enough to have found myself another opportunity and trying to determine what is the last date I need to be employed to get my bonus.

Your manager is waiting for green card. Your manager wants job security. Your manager micro manages you.

It's just the fear of the cr-ppy job market that's keeping me here, nothing else.

Just looked at the earnings for Shell’s chemical business coming up and margins dropped from 160 to 140 a metric ton, obviously giving the business a significant loss on top of the business already struggling. I think this is pretty much the last straw and Shell will either be closing or fire selling all chemical assets to stop the bleeding. Any thoughts?

well ONSEMI in hudson hit the iceberg lol, now it’s slowly sinking it will close people , But some will stay to the end because u are afraid of changed , plus where else can u go do errands , stay on your cell phone , sit the cafe for a hour , with out punching out lol. yes next job u have u will have to work for a living . anyways God Bless finish those puzzles

There are hardly any jobs in the job market. Good luck finding a remote role in this economy when you’re competing with thousands of h1b's and h4 ead's.

Citi is my first job at a large bank post-grad, so looking for some perspective.

When I joined in August, I didn’t get a sign-on bonus but was offered a “target award” to be paid in February as long as I’m still employed through the end of this month. Two weeks ago, Workday showed an amount under “Target Award”, but I checked today and it’s now blank. Merit Plan= 0.00% , DIRA left blank

My manager also said we’ll be talking about comp today or tomorrow.

Should I be worried about not getting the target award or about job security? Is there a normal reason the DIRA amount would disappear? Also, is this the right time to ask about a salary increase, or does that usually happen after a full year?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Does anyone have word if the retail positions will be affected? Will they be doing layoffs for the store level of retail?

Ericsson has submitted a notice to the Swedish Public Employment Service and initiated negotiations with relevant trade unions, it said in the statement. “Approximately 1.600 positions could be impacted in Sweden. The Company has initiated negotiations with the relevant Swedish trade unions.”

I got the letter to move or be added to the surplus list, and I have to reply in the next 2 weeks by a certain date. My manager noted that I could let them know before the date and get more information sooner. Any thoughts on if this puts me into the system quicker or speeds up the timeline? I don't yet have another job, but I'm looking. If I stay and find another job, I must wait until the date they say I'm off payroll...so thoughts on what is the best course of action? I'm trying to read vacation and other policies so I'm sure what to do in case I find something else quicker, but highly doubt it will happen.
Management employee with over 24 years, just trying to do the right thing in the right order.

If you are reading this know that your are not alone. Many have given our heart and soul to this company and for some their entire employable lives. A great company values their greatest asset, it's people. Unfortunately Xerox for a long time has been reducing, outsourcing, minimizing the very talented people that had built the company. Whether it was Sales, operations, finance, back office all have been integral in keeping the machine running. Unfortunately we are at this crossroads now not because of the assetts but leadership over the years and each one squeezing the last few dollars from this once mighty brand. Its sad to see all for executive bonuses and shareholders ( they know where this ship is going). Meanwhile the hardworking backbone taking on more tasks, responsibilities, territories, all while making less money year over year. They will tell you to charge into q1 as this is the most important qtr ever in Xerox history. We have heard that record before and know whats coming. We will charge into this Quarter war screaming Xerox! Some of us will be taken out " Friendly Fire" some us will disappear into retirement, some of us will be pushed out of the plane with no parachute. It's been a pleasure working with such talented people. Its a shame it has come to this. We have done what we can day in day out for the customer and clients bandaiding what has been taken away year after year. There was so much hope, so much promise. They will say good luck in your future endeavors, I will say thank you and it's been a pleasure. Hope our paths cross again.

That's what they're counting on. Make people more willing to sacrifice their time and energy, and work harder, because they know we're terrified of losing our jobs in this market. If we quit, they win. If we comply, they win. We get the short end of the stick either way.

It's sad I'm forced to do this while fully employed, but with nonexistent job security, it is what it is.
