#meeting

What is going on? We got the email about George Dyer with the town hall next week, but we just got a meeting invite from our L5 named 'quick update'. I've sat through countless calls that were named this because folks were laid off. Anyone know anything?

Does anyone know the meeting title that is used for a layoff meeting? Also, who typically sends these out? Is it from HR or your people leader?

How did you find out that you were being laid off? Mine was scheduled during my normal one on one time, but with a surprise variant, a meeting room was booked in the office. When I got there, you know who wasn't there? My manager. He was remote.....but booked a meeting room in the office. Ok. You know who was there? Some long faced lady from HR that looked like Droopy. You know what we never had, my actual one on one. Imagine spending time gathering feedback, requesting it, people writing it, all for you never to see it and get laid off. I'd heard they do funny things around twenty years, sure enough, right before twenty they do some bullsh-t.

I cannot believe how absolutely ridiculously this organization operates.

A meeting ends and these id--t managers think another meeting is needed to follow up the just finished meeting.

How about hiring some competent people then you won't need to have irrelevant meetings wasting everybody's time?

Any news on what this big VIP meeting in Alpharetta is about today? They blocked off a bunch of parking and have a security guard out in the parking lot for them today

Anyone else received a meeting invite from Brenda Bermudez at 3PM EST? No context at all.

What is the point in feedback sessions if it is always the same nonsense talking points then why take the time for a meeting.

Anyone know what Zoom call today with dept managers was about? Mine wasnt able to get on it

I'm Anxious, Nervous , and basically dreading this meeting more than the others. Vegas in July is the 1st Red Flag. SO many new faces. New Managers, New Team members, etc... I'm just going to close my eyes and click my heels and hope to wake up in Kansas.

I will just Pray.

Ready for the changes?

Supervisor said he has meeting 11-1230pm. We are in wireline… Cssc rep union . We are doomed

Any updates on RCM?

Wasn’t there for leadership meeting today and curious what was spoken about

The most productive thing you can do today? Embrace JOMO. We’ve all been raised on FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), but in the corporate world, FOMO is just a polite term for a bottleneck.

If you feel the need to be in every 30-person meeting to "stay aligned," you aren't leading; you’re hovering. If you need to be CC'd on every email thread to "feel informed," you aren't empowering; you’re slowing the engine.

At Verizon, we are architecting an AI-enabled ecosystem to eliminate "the mundane". But tech alone won't give us speed. We need a cultural pivot from "Agreeable to Accountable".

JOMO - The Joy of Missing Out —is the ultimate leadership flex. * It’s the joy of trusting your team to take "Total Ownership" of the talent lifecycle without you in the room.

When we stop trying to be everywhere, we finally give our leaders the space to be innovative and quick. Speed doesn't come from more eyes on a project; it comes from fewer, more decisive ones.

Let’s stop rewarding "presence" and start rewarding "impact."
Who’s brave enough to decline that 4:00 PM "update" meeting and trust the team to handle it? That’s the BOLD standard.

#Leadership #JOMO

Yes it is true there is a meeting on the 16th of july looks like its with the entire department….idk what its about but yes something is happening shows 10am-11am, anyone else shows meeting on there Google Calendar? When i ask my leader they are absolutely clueless never know anything…

Another Monday in customer success of team meetings,1x1’s and posting in slack about how great we’re doing! While they literally preparing us for the unemployment line.

Too many layers and way too many people who think they're important but don't actually contribute anything. We spend our days in pointless meetings, dealing with endless back-and-forth, and watching people fight over territory instead of actually moving things forward. Nothing gets accomplished because everyone is too busy trying to look like they're in charge. Flatten the management structure and watch as things improve overnight.

Are you ready for your previously unscheduled 1x1 with your boss and HR? You should be.

I'm sure a few folks have gone through the new mid-year check-in. What is involved ... was a meeting necessary or could an email take care of it?

This posting was on reddit on July 2 in the r/tmobile channel

"My DM gathered all of us for a meeting today at 4 PM and gave us 60 day notice, apparently many stores are getting notice today as well and by next month many more stores are going to get notice, if you are not in a top 100 or experience you are unfortunately next on the chopping block, good luck to all of you in future endeavors."

Did anyone else see that the WW Sales & Partner Ecosystem accidentally sent out & then cancelled a call for July 9th today?

“Send invite out on July 7” and “(FY26 AE → FY27 CE or C-SSE)” are part of the description. I’m glad I thought to screenshot the invite.

Wth! More layoffs?!

There is a big leadership meeting in Wayne July 13 and 14, make of that what you will.

Anyone else get a meeting invite for this week that is vague? I received one but others on my same dept didn’t. I’m wondering if it’s a layoff

I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm new and trying to figure out how layoffs work here. I've read that emails are supposed to start going out this morning, and I'd like to know is the email an invite for a meeting with your boss or is the email itself a notification that you're being laid off with no meeting?

Not giving much details (not that I have many) but have any other orgs received meetings with SF and others tomorrow/this week?

I’m tired boss.

Same cr-p, different logo! Pretty sure we're having layoffs today! Several have gotten the "Business Update" meeting invite for this morning...

Rumor has it that Refining and Commercial ELT members are on their way out.

Lots of meetings taking place in commercial following the Q1 hole we dug for ourselves. Looks like Mandell will be the one to pay for it, with a “retirement.”

Wondering when I should start looking out. Waiting for the layoff meeting is always a good time!

There are rumors circulating that 100–150 employees may be laid off beginning today, June 16.

Several anonymous first- and second-hand accounts claim that departmental managers are not being informed in advance about which employees will be affected. According to these reports, some employees are being told their positions have been eliminated and escorted out of the building, while others are being notified via Zoom or Teams.

At this point, none of this information has been verified.

MUHC has a Town Hall scheduled for tomorrow at noon.

Can anyone confirm, deny, or provide additional information?

Saw this in a client meeting. Won’t miss the nervous ticks, let alone figuring out how not to shake hands!

Lubbock, Ocean Springs & Lafayette all received their surplus meetings today. August closures confirmed with reps given the option to go fully virtual.

Seems like many were told to work remote and there are update meetings again.

Has anyone heard from their leadership regarding all this? Ours has been radio silent since the announcement email from Sarah came out.

Has anyone received ANY additional information from their leadership team?

I guess I expected a quick meeting, some type of update or check in, something.

Any big announcements planned for the upstream/downstream meeting on Wednesday?

What does everyone recommend we do if our boss puts a meeting invite on 6/17? Does that mean we are toast? Has anyone considered taking PTO or blocking off their calendar day on 6/17 with more important meetings? I am just going to say that our application has an urgent security concern that needs to be addressed or it risks being shutdown. It is a joke how this is being handled at our company.

Does anyone have the town hall meeting phone number

Oh, oh
