Zuckerberg paid 1 hire $1.5 BILLION.
Then laid off 600 long-term employees.
The hire? Andrew Tulloch from Thinking Machines Lab, an AI research monster.
This just reinforces the obvious:
Companies do what’s best for them.
Here's what I noticed when working at Nokia Networks:
You’re a cell in a spreadsheet with a dollar value attached.
They highlight your row, hit delete, and you’re gone.
A state of constant stress and instabilility.
The worst part?
The leadership team enjoyed it:
During headcount meetings I heard a VP utter:
"cool they'll work harder with the news"
So do what’s best for you.
Build something you own.

Amidst layoff's? LOL. Given the number of D promotions, did I somehow miss the closing of the data articles within the consent order? Some of the names on the promotion list to D...laughable. Zedro knowledge of anything even remotely related to data governance, but they excel in bootlicking for sure.

Management feeling now they actually have to do some actual work... no more sitting at a desk acting like you are working.
Wonder if management were tested on knowing job functions listed how many would pass? the company saved laying off management? i hear they are happy and plan on AI management lol
Was anyone from this org able to stay as a remote employee? Seems like this org’s layoffs really hit remote workers hard. Some very talented and hard working people were let go from this org.
Has anyone completed a dispute with their rating or does it matter if they've picked you to be next for the cut? Similar situation as others here with great ratings all previous years, even midyear, with no negative feedback until the year end review. Feedback is vague and actually contains false information.
This is your sign to leave if you are an individual contributor at Medical Solutions (non-management role).
I can't begin to describe the abusive and manipulative workplace they have created since 2023 after layoffs.
What they say and do is not normal, how they treat you is not normal, what they expect of you is not normal.
My life has been infinitely better since leaving. My work valued, expectations lowered, raises higher (no 2% raises there are not normal), wages higher.
Your 5-9 or really even during your 9-5 efforts should be focused entirely on getting out of that place. If you land a remote job double up and milk them until they fire you for as many paychecks as you can.
In case you missed it med sol is a valued as a CCC company by the investment firm (the kind of $h.it that crumbles in recessions).
I'll say it in layman terms: they do not care about you and will lay you off the first chance they get because it pads their bottom line.
There are thousands of other companies that will value you more than this place. Get out and let your managers who have been ordered to manage you out to deal with the stress of manufactured urgency they have created.
This is your sign.
Another round of company wide layoffs today
Nuff said...and yes layoffs are continuing...
Got the news 3hrs ago!!
“I recognize the weight of this news, particularly as it follows the organizational changes we made last year,” Anagnost wrote. “I want to be clear that this will not become an annual process at Autodesk and these changes are not driven by the external environment or an effort to replace people with AI.”

Are we ever going to get to a point where we won't have to think about the next round before the current one is even properly over?
Since the notorious 8/1 email, the stock is down 16%. In just the first month of this year, it’s already down 6%. That’s not volatility or bad luck, it’s sustained value destruction.
Billions lost on bad acquisitions, billions spent on buybacks at higher prices, rising operating costs from rigid RTO and unnecessary real estate, and now plans for even more capital intensive projects. None of it has produced better execution, stronger cash flow, or improved shareholder returns. The market sees it and has rejected it.
RTO didn’t create culture or discipline. It increased costs without creating value. You can’t talk your way into confidence or mandate your way into performance. Investors don’t reward slogans or control. They reward results. And the results, both in stock price and capital efficiency, are undeniable.

I am considering an offer from a global company where I will mostly be managing/co-developing a team of developers building a product. The downside is I might be the only one on-site in the city and rest are spread across the world. RTO is 2 days a week 40 miles away.
I have a pretty good standing at T but just afraid of all these lay offs and relocations to god knows where. What do you guys think makes sense to do here?
It seems like the beginning of a trainwreck.
I was a part of NOV for 15 years. I made it up the management ladder.
I loved what I did for many years. Until the internal split the company made in 2012 or 2013. An accountant was put over our business unit. That was just stupid. so was bringing back the yes sir man back from Singapore
It all went downhill from there. the hardest decision I made was to leave my product line.
Now few years later I am happy and I am so glad I made the jump. I would recommend anyone that is currently employed with NOV get out while you can. The ship is sinking
lol the ship has already gone down. Counting down the days until you get laid off is not the way to live.
In 2008
I was told you train at NOV and when you decide you want to make real money you leave. Its not just about the money, but that is true.
The stress relief is the best part. No one telling me to do more with less.
My manager told us that Optum Care on the west coast lost over a billion dollars last year, and that we have until the end of this year to break even. I can’t help but think that means layoffs.
IDM 2.0 was never a bad idea. In fact, it was necessary to save the manufacturing side of the company. But Pat’s mistake was investing in fabs before fixing yield and before we could reliably produce competitive chips for our own products again.
Lip-Bu Tan is doing all the right things to right-size the ship and inject discipline back into the company. I expect we will soon see changes to the focal process to align with that expectation from employees. But none of it means anything if yield does not reach industry-leading levels.
The fixed costs of underutilized fabs designed for future yields and future customers are ki-ling our bottom line and shortening the runway to get us there. If not for the investments Intel received last year, it would be over already.
On the bright side, it's the last time I have endure Micky Onvural making d-mb cuts. Good luck, team!
It went from a good place with a future to a sinking ship. Management only cares about the stock price, not fixing our old systems or keeping people. The original idea is dead and we're all just waiting for the next bad news.

Historically - no major cull in Jan always means a very large cull in Feb
Is Amazon ever planning to stop? What, does Bezos need another mega-yacht? What the he-l is happening to this place?
If you are impacted by today’s layoff please post here to help consolidate information. Please post your division (Optum Tech, Optum Insight, OptumRX, etc) if you feel comfortable, how many people in your team. If you want to go deeper like M&R, E&I, etc that helps.
Don’t forget, you will get through this, you will bounce back. This place is toxic and I hope we all can find some peace.
I'm in tech. Involuntarily moved to a different team with an entirely different stack for the year. Umm I don't know how to code in their language. I'm expected to just start contributing right away. Like... What? So I have busted my a-s for years here, fixed tons of other peoples' mistakes to keep the lights on before anyone in BL can notice. Always good reviews. Sure people don't like my personality sometimes but you know what I always deliver. If I lead a project it completes on time and on budget while others flail around & never deliver. I've not been promoted in years & my career has stagnated - now this. Go code in this totally unfamiliar stack & fail at it & then come back later to my original team? It's fcking insulting af, there's no way I'll last that long, I'm set-up to fail. This place is so demoralizing & dehumanizing I should have bolted long ago but now... The economy is so flooded by laid-off Americans due to Indian replacement & outsourcing to India (& they only hire other Indians, happened to me even internally wheh I foolishly tried to help myself to move-up) I'll likely never be an engineer again or have any kind of financial security. This su-ks. It's worse for the MANAGERS they picked for this who are now listed as line engineers on the project. I can't even imagine their headspace right now. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE THIS OTHER TEAM'S PROJECTS WTF. I'm going to try to make it work by focusing-on aspects of their tech I do know, but jesus this is senselessly stressful & I can't help but look at it as anything other than pushing me out by claiming I couldn't contribute enough - because I don't know the fcking stack. Just outrageous shenanigans here. I'm so sc--wed.
They only rely on layoffs and cost cuts and then they wonder why the stock keeps going down. Can we get some competent people in charge, please?
This is crazy 25% of my team on OT was wiped out. Even offshore employees were let go. I'm guessing they will be replaced by bottom of the barrel contractors.
How id everyone else's team doing?
