5 will stay for a year but remain closed , they are trying to clean as much as they can just to say hey we cleaned it who wanna buy it

9 it’s on its doom too; there are cracks all over the place, Cisco already looking where to migrate the production data centers in there

On top of it layoffs coming hard , first place to cut people will be RCDN all the load to be moved out to Sherlock, bgl or Mexico , whatever is cheaper

Haven’t heard much. Anyone know what groups were targeted?

FKNG HILARIOUS!

The 10s of millions Dell spent on this "ODW" bs and the countless layoffs they did in order to fund it and THIS is what it looks like?

My minivvan has a similar interface and that was only 120k. Except it's not leggy af or clunky and doesn't take 5000 clicks to get where I want to go!

Shocking but not too surprising Q1 result, keep going down hill non stop. So I guess more layoffs?

They hire people to work on a contract they won. When the contract work is completed nine out of ten times, they lay the people off. Most the contracts this company wins are short term.
You would have more job security accepting a job at Home Deport than you would ever have in accepting a job at Booz Allen.

Only Medtronic would do this to women right before Mother's Day.

Interesting timing there….

Good luck everyone tomorrow in agile type roles. This is unfair to anyone affected.

Heard rumours of layoffs coming especially in tech from September due to poor company performance and execs that obsess over AI especially the ones who used to be at global payment and bailed due to promotion and couldn’t handle the role. India is expanding so if you invest in invesco it’s all controlled via India now.

Is this less likely? How would someone even be notified if that were the case?

Currently on leave and unsure of where things would stand.

Marketing, quality, operations, VPs, and the contracts teams have all been affected. Positions have been consolidated, and some work has been outsourced overseas. It’s still ongoing, and word around the office is that sales could be next.

Looks like they’ve done it again… kicking hard working people out :(

The manner in which these layoffs were handled was atrocious and inhumane for both those affected and unaffected. The obvious lack of planning, the leak months in advance and the announcement right before the weekend are simply inexcusable and unkind. The buck stops with you.

The continued outsourcing of jobs to India from the very neighborhoods, county, city, state and country that supported you along the way and in which you freely operate today is simply no more than trading the livelihoods of your very own friends and neighbors for profit. Have you no shame or courage to do the right thing? Again, the buck stops with you.

Doubling down on Nike stock shortly before the layoffs occurred was truly in poor taste. Out of respect for those whose lives were going to be shortly upended, could one not have simply waited until after the layoffs to avoid the impropriety of having profited at the expense of those you once led? Does the character of a good leader allow one to take from the downtrodden and those who follow? Again, the buck stops with you.

But there is a catch. The buck stops with us as well. Your friends, neighbors and coworkers, past and present.

So when it comes time to measure your character and integrity as leaders? The buck stops with us. When we see you at the grocery store whispering while looking away in disgust, the buck stops with us. When we throw out our copy of Shoe Dog while mumbling “dou--e bag” under our breathes? The buck stops with us. When you experience imposter syndrome while pandering the same rhetoric off a teleprompter to the employees that make a fraction of what you do but actually do all of the work? Yes, you guessed it, the buck stops with us.

You can keep the company and the jobs but your legacies are no longer yours: they belong to those of us you continue to employ and abuse and the nearly 5000 lost over the last 3 years. We see you and always will, that’s your new legacy.

Why would T Mobile buy companies that are about to fail, hire their executives then use programs and platforms from those companies. This company went from last to supposed 1st doing things "the tmobile way" but some supposed brain said let's do things the Sprint and US Cells way now. Seems like they are trying save a sinking ship. All I need to do is last 9 more months or fingers crossed be laid off before then
