What if you decide to quit in 2 weeks. Is there an exit checklist procedure to follow?

I have seen just about every location in North America on one list or another here saying it s a "high cost" market. They can't all be high cost. I guess what i really want to know is what cities/states are considered "low cost" if any exist.

I’m about to get put on a “corrective action plan” over my AI sentiment score. Does anyone know what that even means? I don’t see anything on the Schweb about it. My accounts seem to like me a lot so getting put on a PIP over the AI giving me a bad score is really leaving me in a state of confusion

How do we get rid of shares? Just dont want anything to do with the place (and might as well get an extra few $$ while I'm at it)

Did anyone have any issues with paid caregiver leave still dinging you for a day missed? Those days and vacation are not supposed to negatively impact the report.

Any thoughts or news of a joint venture or sell off?

Just looking for some clarity:

What offices are closing and which date is the actually real for a rif. Either way I know we will have a big one prior to October due to the Stock Award being given that month. So obviously VZ will need people not here prior to that month. So Q2 or Q3 rif is in play. Will VZ wait till Q3 or is May actually for real?

lots of vps and products consolidated.

Anyone know why the high point police are steaked out at the greensboro office? Supposed to be there til mid May?

Seems like all posts and posters are Nike tech or adjacent.

Not layoff related, but what’s the deal with this Program?

Some people on my team it seems like it’s all they work on, and other people don’t even know what it is. I get pulled in randomly, but other than a few new policies, I’m not sure what or why we are doing this, especially with the big ROE push?

This is going to be interesting to watch. Any predictions on how this'll affect the rest of us?

Is it true that LRs are coming for USC sales and engineering roles for ODs, SSEMs, RMs, SEMs, AEs and SEs. If so, nominate our HGO SSEM as he is incompetent and has no interpersonal skills. He should not be a people leader.

Will AT&T open a new hub location in Tel-aviv?

I found out one of my peers who is a senior manager has a criminal background. Not sure if I should report her. I am pretty sure the company is not aware of it.

Keep hearing that in May. Is that right? What percentage?

How long does it take VZ to turn up a. 10G circuit end to end? Compare it with how long it takes Google/Amazon to turn up a 10G…..Verizon is done!

May should be interesting with the big exodus. Who will be out?

How weird was that? The enthusiasm as they tried to sell it from Milwaukee. Did anyone notice all of the empty seats? The fake excitement about the future was nauseating.

Thoughts on Zensar ? Or should i just go ask AI

Hi, ex-employee from San Ramon here (left prior to the beginning of the year). I received a notification from USPS that I was supposed to receive mail from Chevron with a 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, Building T, Room 3164 in San Ramon (hmmm...how long has it been since the move to Lakeside), however it never showed up. It also had "Important Documents Enclosed". Address and memo were both preprinted. Anyone else get something in the mail with similar markings and can you leave a comment as to what it was? I already tried to report to USPS but looks like they took away that functionality so there is really no way to trace a piece of mail that they were suppose to have delivered. Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance, but this is my first layoff, so I’m not really sure what the procedure is. This is what I’ve gathered so far:

We will receive the WFH email on Friday. Then on Monday morning, those being laid off will receive an email. Within 15 minutes, their system will be locked. After that, they will receive 2 months of paid leave and after that severance, which is correlated to how long you’ve worked at Nike.

Just trying to prepare as needed since this market is awful.

Always a good sign when the company handling your benefits is having its own financial issues.

questioning do you think its a good time to sell shares or wait till after next months earnings?

Exxon Scientists Had Doubts About Algae Biofuels. The Oil Giant Touted Them Anyway.
Some of the company’s scientists didn’t agree with the way the project was presented to investors.

DBBI is an official ExxonMobil acronym. What does it mean? I know what the letters stand for but what does it actually mean?

They are no longer 3M? Are they Madison employees now, or are they redundant?

Which companies are laying off the week of April 20?

The document says only laptop, power adapter, and Yubi keys need to be returned. Nothing else, right?

The hiring managers here
How many people you had not hired because candidate is above 60 years old?

J!M C please go reach out to the doer’s of this company and ask them how bad it is. How is half the IT team not fired? This is worst if not as bad as HCM.

Having not one second of privacy is bad for women:
While wearing a skirt or dress you have to constantly be aware of how you are sitting.
No privacy when standing up and adjusting your clothes. Pull and adjust in front of everyone.
With open floor plan someone can stare at you all day and there’s nothing you can do, if you even notice. T has nasty twerps working there just like any other place.
I’ve seen men standing just outside of my view then averting their eyes and walking away when I turned my head.
The stress of always being on display is getting to be too much.
To scratch anywhere everyone has to walk to a conference room or the restroom.
We need at least the mini cubicles for a bit of respect for our humanity.

Does anybody actually believe Shobhit found another role outside of citi and decided to leave on his own? Dude has only been at Citi for 8 months and was supposed to revolutionize AI at the bank with those amazing IBM insights (as if IBM knows anything about AI).
