Notice how @OP starts most these threads?

Anyone notice the DF fan seems to have left the forum?

What a joke. They have a library where they want you to go and read books. And makeup lamps on the desks to don your lipstick.

Anyone planning to take advantage of the voluntary "raise your hand" program?

Well, looks like I made it through this time. I hate uncertainty and always want to have a plan b, although the job market is tough what companies are we applying to? Supply chain professional

How long di you have to work at Dell to get the extra PTO/Vacation hours?

I obviously hear and read about the horrors of Broadcom and every company. Are there any positive groups or orgs at all ? I was also told RTO is mandatory. Is there anything positive about the company or would you recommend new hires to avoid ? The stock might be good but means nothing if you get laid off prior to vesting

I'm not in the know the svod side of the fence. I Just happened to look on the org chart and she's gone. How long ago was this?

I numbly smiled through my meeting. Mixed bag of ratings from eh to excellent so I guess that means average. I knew they would have to find something in this climate. Curious if same for any others?

How do we prepare for a sudden layoff?

We lose access to company sites and contacts. What should we save?

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Do we have an idea of timing for this “leaner workforce”? Will it be slow throughout the year or a big hit in January?

With the new office opening in Minnesota, there are so many job openings making me wonder, is the company as good as people painted to be? Any ex Medtronic employees?

I know several were let go today, but the date we have all heard has been December 18th. Anyone know if more is to come on Thursday?

Oil futures are pointing to lower prices. COP will be struggling financially given the downward pricing direction. How do you think senior leadership will lead us through these challenging times?

Is anyone else hearing chatter about a potential massive walkout of PNC employees being organized at some point after there is an announcement about the 5 day return to work requirement?

Am I wrong, has employee evaluation turned into a joke? Does it really matter what sacrifices you make to get good appraisal. It seems now the only smart thing to do is pray you not laid off cause you are a high earning employee due to past hard work.

Are the employees really that bad, or does leadership have some accountability?

I still have no clue why Dell is sponsoring and renewing H1b Visas while there is unprecedented unemployment in the tech sector right now. They should stop renewing any H1b Visas.

How did everyone feel from the big visit today? Not sure about anyone else's dept, but our dept literally got a 2 min walk-thru complete with picture taking.. . LOL.. Hopefully nobody stressed about what they were suppose to wear for this special day since he prob didn't see you anyway... LOL

Anyone?

Will VZ pay my COBRA Premiums during my severance period? Workded here for @20 years. Husband was laid off in July and still has not found employment. I work until 2.16.2026. The Unaffordable Care Act looks horrendous with $6K deductible!

I’ve done everything people tell you to do, kept my skills current, paid for a professional resume, stayed active with networking, and kept applying consistently, yet I’m still sitting here with no offers after more than six months. The interviews I did get felt positive, but then I got ghosted after later rounds, which makes the whole process feel even more discouraging. At this point I genuinely don’t know what else I’m supposed to change to turn interviews into an actual offer.

Anyone impact so far this week? Were any teams told to stay home?

I’m so sorry for everyone impacted, especially with this happening just days before Christmas. Try not to let it get to you. It will all work out in the end. You’ll likely look back and be glad you left this place behind.

Seeing posts about great people being let go. Who were they? Were they actually good or just a friendly person? Looking for any themes for who gets cut

Does anyone who has been promoted to the Staff level in Engineering have any tips on how to get that promotion?

Missed the TH today until the last 5 minutes. Are employees getting bonuses next year?

Aren't they the ones who funded Bin Laden?

This is pure fraud and Trump needs to have Gary Cohen investigated!

I’m thinking that I’m about to be laid off and I’m hearing there are zero jobs out there. Anyone have any ideas of ppl who may be hiring? My best friend just got an mba w 5 years of experience and cannot get an interview anywhere.

I was just laid off by Truist and I think the experience taught me that I don’t want to be in banking. Why would anyone sign up for a career dealing w belittlement and smearing?

So we in the CWA are hearing on the 17th there is going to be the possibility of a buyout. Heard originally BST. Now hearing CST and BST. If they are offering 75k to buyout CST’s, will there be any left? Anyone heard anything? Are they going to mostly contractors like some of the CATV companies are? What gives? Anyone heard anything? I guess we will know on the 17th either way.

Nothing where I’m at. But there have been a lot of rumors about more coming on Monday. I know we’re in this for the long haul, but I’d really like to know whether we’ll at least be left alone until the holidays are over.

Any speculation as to what this pop-up town hall is about?

I guess anything is better than Ramon. Or ram. Just gotta outlast whatever time it takes for them to kick RL to the curb.

Anyone know anything about it? It sounds so cheery. I know enough about FIS to be suspicious.

Anyone know what caused the fire in the Pittsburgh office?

What was your experience?

I fedexed my papers so they’d be received before the tenth only to be told to check back the end end of January.
