Dropping like flies

Something isn’t working when CW employees are quitting a few weeks after they start. This is a result of poor planning from strategy team. Executive leadership talking down to CW and the organizations that support them. Now reputation in the markets is almost down to 0. Everyone is underpaid and overworked. Exec leaders have zero care for associate well being. After three rounds of layoffs, multiple projects that were projected to work and be the most “innovative” across the healthcare industry have been jokes.


Planning Chaos

How is it that the largest US nat gas company missed the boat on the ai/data center bo-m? Sounds like there’s lots of high level people working to get something moving who don’t have a clue, go figure, all the while, their E&P operations are struggling, planning is awful, lack of high level leadership and planning, get your act together, your PM stock has been worthless since the previous bankruptcy which is most likely happe i g again, smh…


What's everyone's plan B?

I've been running scenarios in my head for days. If I get laid off next week, what do I do. I have some savings, maybe two or three months worth. I could pick up some consulting work, maybe. My partner does work, but their income alone wouldn't cover everything. We could sell my car, move to a cheaper apartment, ask family for help. But none of those are good options. I'm realizing I'm not as prepared as I thought. So I'm asking genuinely, what's everyone else's plan B? Are you ready for this, or are we all just hoping we'll be spared?


Great Q4 earnings report

Great job everyone! As a retired Macy's IT worker, it is great to see Tony Spring take the reins and show incredible sales results. Such a pleasure not to fear sales reporting.

As a team, you all deserve recognition. Yes, many changes- retail is ever changing, especially in the environment we are currently in.
Macy's did a great job navigating the change, great execution in planning as well.

Here's wishing you all a successful 2026,!


FT: And now the end is near

Phone skills have been transferring back to FT. Website calls will move back on 03/23/2026. That leaves Retirement and Shareholder calls at FIS. After the filing deadline of 04/15/2026, those calls should move over, that date is not confirmed yet. How will that be announced? Will the remaining employees be given the date ahead of time or will the axe fall suddenly? Have no illusions, plan accordingly.


Why Our 6‑Month Schedule Is So Confusing

We get a schedule every six months but nobody ever says it’s set in stone, so the bosses can change stuff whenever they feel like it. That makes it really hard to know what to work on or even plan anything outside of work. The “perks” and rules keep getting moved around too, and it just feels like nothing is solid. I think we need a clear time slot that stays the same and a simple way to tell us when things actually change.


Unexpected layoff notification?

This writing has been on the wall for longer than a minute. Relocate if required and RTO or risk losing your employment if you choose to gamble. It is a personal choice. It isn't as if you first heard about it only yesterday. You will find no sympathy from AT&T if you are unhappy about the position you find yourself in today and continue to refuse to accept responsibility for yourself and your family. Coasting along when you should have been adapting and planning.


Late 2025 impacted rif employees receiving full AIP in March 2026?

A question to those employees riffed in late 2025 who had a last employment date in December, were you promised the full AIP payout in 2026 (whatever that ends up being...)? Same question to employees that set their retirement date in December 2025? Were you promised full AIP payout in March 2026? Trying to do some planning for the near future.


Inflation and Recession in 2026

They say inflation is going down since 2023 but I still see everything breaking the bank including basics like groceries to homes. Stock market is predicting a recession next year by end of year. Taking careful financial steps and planning next year is the key to survive.


NYC Band 8 technology and planning

AD and SD called, 6 years with VZ. Was recently moved to a new group and was working with senior engineers. Promoted very early on in my tenure, great performance reviews. Didn’t matter they basically said my functions can be done by people in India. Kind of liberating but disappointing at the same time. I just had my first child 6 months ago. I don’t blame current leadership although he was on the board. The stock price su-ked for a decade under Hans, but all we heard was glowing results.


Next Quarter

So, there's a lot going on here… Q3 and we're revving up for Q4… and we're preparing preparing for Q1. you know we have our eyes on the following Q2 and Q3 that comes after that and then that pivotal Q4 kind of ramping out to 2027… pivotal Q1, until 2027 Q2, followed by that Q3 and the Q4, kind of going into 2028 Q1. so there's a lot that we are kind of like laddering up there's a lot, kind of going over and we're gonna make sure that we kind of like we are not boiling the ocean or jumping shark next quarter. And talent retention.
