Do you know the rule? Cannot locate it anywhere?

Please share.

Anyone? Email today? Tomorrow? What do you think?

I got flagged. Anyone else?

The report is based on Aug data. I leave office around lunch time to avoid traffic and to take meetings in the afternoon at home.

We often win top spots, it kind of makes no sense. Are all "Best Workplace" lists a pay-to-play schme?

Does anyone have more information about the current severance pay rules and if it differs from what they were traditionally allocating?

Is anyone seen the results yet ?

Over the past 40 years, has there ever been a decision that helped employees?

IMO, they just keep taking.

Any tea on what may happen with some of the duplicate teams that are being merged (SD & insert legacy paramount brand here)? Marketing everywhere, MTV/Skydance TV, animation, legal, etc.). Do you think they will finally be merged properly with some grand plan explained to the company?

Are the layoffs this week or next week? Any credible sources?

Anyone have the details

Expecting layoffs due to government shut down. Certainly furloughs should be starting soon.

Will it be this November 4th at 09:15? And then again November 18, same time? They do LOVE Tuesdays!!!!

Or perhaps a single tap in November followed by another tap in December? Oh, how they love to tease and excite!

Are we off tomorrow?

Any word on what’s going on with the WellCare LOB ? Been getting some marketplace work/large caseloads/restructuring..

I wonder how much money the company will save by this round ? You can easily bust the savings by wrong decisions on 1-2 projects due to loss of the key skills. I hope the bang is worth the buck.

Does anyone know if Wellsfargo will give the 401k contribution in Dec if decide retire this month.

what's your department like? Any word of 4-5x/week back in office?

There are bits and pieces of information floating around, but I still can’t figure out how far along we are in the process or how worried I should still be.

What is the plan for Monday? Governor extended it to Monday.

Buyout Package coming soon?

I heard from an AVP and SVP that T is exiting out of the LA buildings by early next year. It seems with the DirecTV sell off being completed, the company has no need to maintain office space or further operations there.

Anyone else located in LA hear anything? Are they being laid off and offered severance or told to relocate to Dallas first before that becomes an option? Does it make sense to relocate to Dallas in such an event?

Does anyone know when managers get notified that their direct reports will get displaced due to location strategy? I've heard that it's the Friday before a Tuesday layoff for direct managers. Also curious when second level managers know.

In yesterday's global town hall, Ramon did not give a categorical yes or no when asked about the question of selling Quaker. His answer went around in circles. I hope we keep Quaker, it is a good brand with the right marketing support.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano R. Amon sold 150,000 shares of company stock on October 1, 2025, for a total of approximately (\$24.8) million. This transaction was reported in a filing with the SEC. After the sale, Amon still held 149,304 shares in the company.

What is going on? Does he really need that much cash?
 

Amazing that we are back in Iraq after two years trying to get out. And now the question of who will actually work Iraq after getting rid of the Aussies, Canadians, Malaysians and Brits. Why would we do this to our global team when we are trying to grow new developments

Any ideas why we are having this meeting on Tuesday? Seems weird

What are you doing with your shares of ILMN? I’ve got shares from vested RSUs and ESPPs. I’ve been just buying and holding. Anybody else have a more thoughtful strategy?

Can somebody name one thing that's better now than it was before layoffs? I'll wait.

I work in the tech industry and saw a job posted at Pure Storage, California, back in May. It wasn't exactly what I was looking and I was in final interview somewhere else so I handed it off to a friend. He is very experienced, but over 40 white male. They called him for a quick phone interview and said they would set up a second interview. That never happened. Months went by then he got an email wanting an interview as soon as possible. Kind of like "months went by, really?" on their end.

So I did some digging and called up a friend of mine that now works in HR at Pure Storage corporate. She said FTEs didn't seem to be a focus of Pure Storage now and they were looking for temps, contractors, etc.

Question - is that true? Doesn't that mean the company is in bad shape? Any company that would pass on experienced FTEs for leftovers sounds like a company without $$ and about to crash or purposely being hung out to dry. Any insights? Thanks!

Did anyone else have parking issues at the Houston office on Thursday? It was packed.

Dear customers and employees, without an exit plan you surrender your future into the hands of a shifty roster of job-hopping executives who are planning their own future. Not yours.

I don't remember that we've ever had layoffs on Friday, so I'm going to guess we're done?
