Concentrix Layoffs

Layoffs keep happening since last year but they never report it as they are keeping them under the treshold that's required by state laws. Concentrix is really good when it comes playing that game. people are not stupid and all of us can see it but they do manage to keep it away from the media coverage. Anyhow, I was let go after 11 very loyal year and I did have great reviews throughout.

If you are new to Concentrix you will not see this but once you start figguring patterns of behavior of the executives, this will be so obvious.

Good luck all


Is Walmart a Religion or a Job?

Rule #1 "Walmart employs staff on an "at-will" basis. This means that, legally, both you and the company can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and without advance notice." So here's the policy for a associates and this should be on the cover of the associate benefits book for all new hires, not page one, not in the back of the book, not in the fine print, but on the Cover. Everything else in that book is void see rule #1. The associate benefits if packed full of rules and policies but since rule was is always in affect, the rest of that book is more of religion Walmart wants followed and regardless if it is or isn't, see rule #1. They can claim rule #1 is only in rare cases, yet when anyone questions the actual reasons for their terminations, see rule #1. Performance above everyone else's and terminated? See rule #1. You spoke your mind because they said be honest and they wanted true feedback and was terminated? See rule #1. Followed procedure and reported harassment or unfair treatment but was terminated? See rule #1. The point is, the whole employment with Walmart is an absolute ridiculous joke.


P4’s

Settle down P4’s - no one cares about what you were prior to be being demoted from a “manager” position which you probably still hold dearly to your blessed heart. You are nothing more than a glorified wanna be. P5’s with no reports stop pretending the Executive Director role means something. You are executive directing yourself. Please lord let me be let go on the next few weeks.


Has anyone seen recent employee reports

For RTO 8 hours I know that it’s first swipe of the day and last swipe but do they look at the in and out swipes? We had an activity day in our parking lot. Wondering how that shows up- if I swiped out for 90 minutes does that count against me? Also what do the activity reports look like? Do they only track productivity when you are wfh? If I have an in person meeting where I’m not on my computer does that count against me? Should I just randomly hit keys when I have an in person to keep my numbers up in office?


Coffee badging

A couple months ago I reported an egregious coffee badging colleague at the Charlotte office. He habitually swipes his badge, plugs his laptop in, grabs a hot drink, then unplugs his laptop and disappears for the entire day. I then see him pop up online about 30 minutes later but I don’t see him in person again for the rest of the day. I don’t know what HR did about it after my report since they can’t tell me, but it seems like it’s NOTHING because just this morning, it happened again. I guess I’ll keep submitting reports until something changes or HR tells me they at least reached out to him. I’ll report every last person that I see abusing the system. We need to get rid of these leeches.


TPS Reports

I want to clarify expectations around the TPS reports. My understanding is that this work is being assigned to D, but there seems to be confusion about whether it should be completed directly  to the SVP level.

From my perspective, the current approach is creating unnecessary tension. I’m also concerned that information shared in smaller, private conversations about colleagues is now being referenced in a way that could be influencing decisions or creating discomfort within the team.

I’d strongly prefer we align on a clear, consistent process for handling these reports and keep communication focused, appropriate, and professional. Defining responsibilities clearly will help ensure the work moves forward without added pressure or misunderstandings.


Rough Estimate : The Message is very clear from Earnings Report

Smaller Agile teams - This means more flattening of organization with high-level individual contributors oversee the team. So Directors/Snr Directors/VP's and SVP's will be high targets as mentioned in this forum earlier. Executives might be forced to take technical roles. Directors/Managers with minimal number of reports beware.

High cost centers like Bay area, East coast is going to be affected more. Expecting around 2500 -3500 people to be cut. India around 1500 - 3000 people. All the pending members in legacy products, FMW products working in California will be major targets.

Lots of low profile developers, freshers will be cut down to make Org lean and clean. Yes recent college grads might need to brush up their leetcode skills. Visa holders from Bay area better start looking around...

Overall expect something in 5000-8000 count. Get ready folks


Dumpster FIRE

P66 is literally a dumpster fire. I am utterly amazed that industry reporting and publications are remaining so silent. It could be that entities or people that stand to lose a lot are pushing the stock price up to get out. Make no mistake, there are significant internal issues and deficiencies that are on borrowed time. The reality I believe exists is that the damage is irreversible. The connection from top to bottom has been severed. There is no longer any trust or pride. It has become a purely transactional relationship between company and employee. One of the greatest petroleum stories ever in American history is on the brink of ending. Bartlesville will never be the same.


"Job Hugging" Is Undermining Workplace Outcomes: New MetLife Study

Look MetLife, here's the deal. I do the job you asked, you pay me.

You DON'T get my soul!

Quoted from MetLife announcement: "56% of employees are staying put out of necessity as financial and job pressures escalate

NEW YORK, N.Y., February 18, 2026 — Amid persistent job market volatility and financial pressures, new MetLife data shows that while employee loyalty is rising, it may be for the wrong reasons. The latest findings from MetLife’s 2026 Employee Benefit Trends Study reveal that while 77% of employees intend to stay1 with their current employer, 56% are staying out of necessity rather than genuine commitment.

This comes as financial confidence among employees has fallen to its lowest level since 2012 and 31% say a primary reason for staying is that the uncertain job market makes it too risky to leave—reinforcing need based retention and putting business performance at risk.

The Cost of Loyalty Without Commitment

The consequences of this dynamic are significant, with only 18% of employees saying they plan to stay with their employer because they truly want to. Employees who stay out of necessity experience much weaker outcomes: only 50% are actively engaged in their work and they are 54% less likely to be holistically healthy, resulting in higher risks of absenteeism and lower productivity.

“As employees cling to their jobs for security, retention alone can give employers a false sense of stability—even as wellbeing, engagement, and productivity quietly erode,” said Todd Katz, Head of U.S. Group Benefits at MetLife. “This puts renewed pressure on employers to strengthen their cultures, leadership and benefits in ways that foster real connection and true commitment.”

Connection: The Strongest Driver of Outcomes

MetLife’s study reveals connection—including feeling seen, valued, and supported at work—is now the strongest predictor of employee wellbeing, engagement, and commitment. When employees feel connected at work, they are:

3x more likely to be holistically healthy
2x more likely to be engaged
3x more likely to stay because they want to, not because they need to

Together, these findings show that connection is what separates surface-level stability from a workforce that is resilient, productive and built to perform under pressure. Without it, outcomes stall, and loyalty weakens.

Creating the Conditions for True Connection

Connection grows when employees feel a sense of belonging at work, are supported in their professional growth and are recognized for their contributions—experiences often shaped by leaders, workplace culture, and benefits that reinforce support beyond compensation alone, according to the study’s qualitative findings.

“Forging genuine commitment begins when employees feel seen, supported, and valued, not just retained,” Katz added. “Benefits that adapt to employees’ needs—and are clearly communicated—reinforce trust, strengthen connection, and help organizations move beyond transactional loyalty toward more meaningful, sustainable outcomes.”

About MetLife’s Employee Benefit Trends Study & Methodology

MetLife’s U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study (EBTS) is a leading source of insights into workplace trends, employee expectations, and employer strategies. MetLife’s 2026 EBTS is based on two quantitative studies, conducted in October 2025, including surveys of 2,480 HR decision-makers and leaders, and 2,541 full-time employees from organizations of various industries and sizes. Respondents are aged 21+ and nationally representative of the full-time U.S. workforce in terms of demographics, job roles, and firmographics. New to the 24th EBTS, MetLife used cultural insights and semiotics to explore shifting habits, motivations, and feelings among workers. The research is collected in partnership with STRAT7, a global strategy, insight, and planning consultancy."


Correct meter reporting

Just got the email to "ensure proper meter reporting" so we can squeeze every cent due to xerox. We are past the point of picking up pennies on the ground and they can't afford to IRFF anyone else (maybe?? Or not).

Very sad.....


The Math isn't Mathing

4Q24 Report
As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 70,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.
4Q25 Report
As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 75,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.

So an increase of 5K employees YOY, even though they spent $390 million in 4Q25 to "...streamline operations by centralizing leaders and teams, reducing organizational layers, and eliminating duplicative roles..." and plan on "...remaining costs of approximately $150 million expected to be substantially incurred by the end of the first quarter of 2026. "

So I guess we have to wait until 4Q2026 report to understand how many employees are affected by a net cost $540 Million?


Any idea when the enhanced IOE reporting goes live?

In a January post (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kezt9p2t), a couple of folks mentioned enhanced IOE reporting that is coming. “Enhanced” means cross-referencing badge swipes with the laptop connection to the Truist wifi. One of my colleagues who is close to HR confirmed that there is a team dedicated to this activity, but he did not know when it was going to be rolled out to managers. If you’re on the team – or close to someone who is - please let us know when the reporting is scheduled to go live. Reason I’m interested is that my managers are going to be all over this when it happens. They are already hassling people who aren’t hitting the 5-day target. If you miss one day in a given week, you’re getting an email. “You didn’t get manager approval!” So much for flexibility and treating experienced adults like adults


TruPortfolio or FailPortfolio?

I’m writing to share some feedback regarding the TruPortfolio Solutions rebrand. I recently attended an event where members of the sales team expressed concerns that the new art style feels disconnected from our established financial identity. Are we seeing any data or customer sentiment reports that suggest the new look isn't hitting the mark?

Report! Report! Report!

There’s been a lot of heated discussion and debate around H-1B visas lately. Strip away the politics and emotions, and the issue really comes down to one simple question:

Can American workers do this job with a reasonable amount of training?

The H-1B program was created to address genuine skill shortages—roles where specialized expertise is scarce in the U.S. workforce. There are absolutely cases where this applies: highly specialized research, niche quantitative problems, or roles that truly require rare, advanced expertise.

For many of the positions being filled at BlackRock—particularly at junior and mid-level roles—this question deserves serious scrutiny. These are often jobs for which qualified American professionals already exist, or could become fully effective with standard on-the-job training. In such cases, the use of H-1B visas appears less like a response to a true skills shortage and more like a convenient alternative to hiring domestically.

There are also growing concerns that in some teams, hiring decisions may rely heavily on internal networks or favoritism rather than a fair and open recruitment process that genuinely considers qualified American candidates. When entire teams are composed predominantly of H-1B workers, it raises legitimate questions about compliance with both the intent of the law and fair hiring practices—questions that merit review by the appropriate government authorities. Beyond legal issues, this kind of imbalance can affect team dynamics, workplace diversity of perspectives, and trust in the fairness of the system.

That matters because the H-1B program is not meant to replace the domestic workforce. The law requires employers to show that hiring an H-1B worker will not disadvantage U.S. workers in terms of opportunity, wages, or working conditions. When roles that Americans can clearly perform are filled through visa sponsorship, it raises serious concerns about whether the spirit—and possibly the letter—of the law is being respected.

If you believe a colleague on an H-1B visa is occupying a role that qualified American workers can perform, the appropriate response is not online outrage but formal legal action. Report the situation through the appropriate authorities so it can be investigated.

Accountability helps everyone. It protects American workers, preserves the integrity of the H-1B program for truly hard-to-fill roles, and encourages companies like BlackRock to invest in and prioritize domestic talent where it makes sense. Replacing H-1B positions with qualified American workers isn’t anti-immigrant—it’s pro-fairness and pro-law.


It’s over

When an employee hits the report I get for being in the office for 7hrs and 15 mins, it’s time to be worried. They obviously don’t want to pay severance in 2026. Sorry to be the bearer of this news but watch yourself, it’s about to get turbulent


Prime example

Someone posted this on an earlier thread but I wanted to put it as a main post to show.

This and ANYTHING like this needs to be reported to EEOC. TODAY! Provide these examples and give names of who is doing it!

These loons have gotten so sloppy that I am sure we will have a EASY pattern recognition at this point.

Go to eeoc.gov and report TODAY! Remember there are deadlines to report! So report everything TODAY! And be sure to notate and report ASAP going forward!

“@bf
I received NI rating for the first time in my 10 years here. Part of the justification was my in-office presence. Our designated start was delayed by 3 months from the rest of the city hub because the space wasn’t ready. When it was ready, I had to wait another 2 weeks because my name wasn’t submitted for building access. So my office presence appeared to be really low even though it was out of my control. Even when they took that into account their numbers didn’t match my own record keeping that showed compliance. I’m very concerned now because my manager and I had discussed the instances where I appeared to be short and he agreed that there was legitimate reason to be out. (I.e., we had a 4 day team offsite, and that appears to have counted against my record.) my head is spinning.“


WSJ: Layoffs Tick Up Slightly as Job Market Remains Steady Through October

Layoffs Tick Up Slightly as Job Market Remains Steady Through October

The U.S. labor market demonstrated resilience through the fall, despite a marginal increase in job separations, according to the Labor Department’s latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The report, released Tuesday, indicates that the layoff rate rose to 1.2% in October. This represents a slight uptick from the 1.1% rate recorded in both August and September, suggesting a modest shift in workforce reduction activity as the year progressed.

Despite the small increase in layoffs, the broader employment landscape appears fundamentally stable. The data shows that the hiring rate held firm at 3.2% in October, unchanged from previous months. This consistency in recruitment suggests that while some employers were shedding staff, the overall demand for labor had not significantly deteriorated, maintaining a steady equilibrium in the market since the summer.

The release of these figures fills a gap in economic data caused by the government shutdown that began in early October. The budget impasse forced a postponement of federal statistical reports, delaying insights into the late summer and early autumn economy. With the backlog now clearing, the October figures provide a belated but necessary view of the labor market's trajectory leading into the winter.
