Did B&B implement layoffs in Q2? If yes how many roles were affected... Which groups had reductions? Also, what's the prognosis for 2026 - I am interviewing and I heard some rumors

What is the idea behind making mangers IC. It cant make sense paying ICs manager money, just to protect their "reports number". I see a lot of them doing not much on great pay. Seems like a win being made IC. As a manager I would love it!

Is anyone hearing insights on “flattening” the redundant CTB CTV and GSP roles in particular WH (western hemisphere). Seems like other areas are flattening and going back to pre-merch like transformations. Others have said that Bills pyramid will not be touched but that doesn’t seem plausible

Let's see how the rest of the year unfolds

Any updates on contractors working for Edward Jones such as CGI, Accenture and Deloitte ? It already seemed like they wanted to fill as many positions with them as possible instead of full time EJ employees, but with the future offshoring seemingly coming down the pike, is there any contracts that anyone has heard of changing or getting canceled.

Curious which roles DID NOT recieve the dreaded severance estimate? Interested to get a feel for what was considered "out of scope". Don't have to get specific unless you feel comfortable doing so.

Anyone else debating if there are even actual "opportunities" and the "potential" is to ensure everyone stays to transition their work? Nothing would be surprising at this point.

With the new mandate raising the salary threshold, many companies are quietly rebranding jobs to dodge overtime rules. Titles like “analyst,” “specialist,” or “associate manager” are being handed out without changing the actual work. It’s a loophole: the company narrative makes it look like you’re exempt, while your day-to-day duties tell a different story.

The law is clear, titles don’t matter. What matters is what you actually do. If your role is routine, closely supervised, or production-based, you’re likely non-exempt no matter what’s printed on your badge. But the timing of sudden title changes around this mandate is a red flag: it may be an attempt to fit workers into exemption boxes that don’t really apply.

For employees, this isn’t just semantics. Misclassification means unpaid overtime, longer weeks for flat pay, and missed income you’ve already earned. If your “promotion” didn’t come with real authority, like hiring, firing, or decision-making power you may have just been reclassified on paper.

Keep an eye on how your job was described before the rule change, what your duties actually are, and whether the company is leaning on titles as a shield. Misclassification isn’t an accident; it’s a tactic. And it’s one that costs workers the most.

Class action anyone ?? Long overdue!

What is the rationale behind newly formed Rev Ops under David Schmoock? Will it create overlapping roles and lead to WFR? Does it include any updates to Services group?

What is the business rationale for extending visas for GCLs and CLs who function primarily as people managers rather than technical leaders?
.why should a low level iq person with low technical skills who came on H1B be made people manger of a highly competed amrican worker

While I’m sadden to not have gotten a role in my selection, I have learned that in round 2 a job has been saved outside of being applied. It hurts to learn the favoritism of upper management to save those that didn’t actually apply to their roles…take that HR!

Today, all the titles changed in the US, people in different functions seem to be in similar job families now. Sign of a new reorg?

L4 engineer here, just curious why my chapter lead has a VP of architecture as their boss. Whereas other software architects have other bosses. Not sure why.

I need to be blunt about the architecture team. They are overwhelmingly ineffective. Their performance is an embarrassment for what they're paid. They consistently demonstrate a profound inability to grasp practical constraints, rendering their input in meetings not just useless, but actively detrimental. As GCL, I view interfacing with them as a waste of my team's time and the company's money.

I’m wondering if any HCSC employees have moved into a role that directly supports the Health Spring business yet? I don’t mean your team is ‘getting work’ or ‘waiting for access to start working on HS stuff’. I mean, you have onboarded into a role that is directly supporting Health Spring now. Since many of their people have quit and transitioned employees can’t apply for anything for 1 year, I figure HCSC employees are moving into the roles. What is the process like since the systems aren’t integrated yet? Anything odd come up that you didn’t expect?

After the choice that you've made to stay remote, are you happy with it ? considering the fact that remote people won't have the same " chance " to apply to other roles ? or you have been fired for that choice ?

I am applying for a role but I’m being told it’s non-budgeted. What does that mean? It sounds risky even if I am internal.

has anyone been laid off and come back as an ETW? Did you manage to get a FTE role after coming back as an ETW?

• September 15, 2025: Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) will cut 133 roles at its Bellevue office.

I know its not a layoff post but I'm genuinely curious anyone here work in the Charlotte area for a corporate function? Looking at risk roles and understand the 5 day office thing but also hear no seats and new hub is coming in 2026. Is Charlotte actually a hub? Not trying to onboard and then get told to move to ATL or Dallas. What's the day to day experience working at T? Can anyone explain a Principal title in terms of where in the org that sits? How's bonus, benefits, time off etc.?

Recently offered a VP Product Manager role after six rounds of interviews. I am based out of the Dallas office, curious how roles at this level are? Everyone I interviewed with was great but I would love some perspective.

I was offered a Squad Leader role at Fidelity and I am curious if the culture here is as bad as everyone makes it out to be? Six rounds of interviews for the role, everyone I met with has been with the firm 10 years or more. I would love honest feedback!

I see them walking around. Why are they there?

As a part of Enterprise Reimagine, I was moved to a different role within the same division without change in title, level or pay. But I am not that excited about my new role. Do I have the option of applying for one of the internal open roles?

Most senior leaders already know their roles. Some were informed months ago, others more recently.

Mid-level managers were notified last week about changes to their teams below a certain level. They received updated reporting structures and job titles for their direct reports. If any team members were being let go or given a choice regarding their role, those individuals were not listed.

Managers were simply told that they had someone affected, either through termination or an offered option, without further details.

The conversations with affected employees are being handled at higher leadership levels.

All conversations start on Tuesday. For people managers with larger teams, this may extend to Wednesday.

If no communication is received on Tuesday, it’s a strong sign that the role remains unchanged. If you also don’t hear anything on Wednesday, your position may depend on the decisions of others who were given options.

Fast follows will happen Thursday through Monday based how exits and option decisions unfold, as well as how leaders want to structure their teams.

I’ve heard from multiple sources that some entire functions, or nearly entire functions, will be wound down. The affected functions will not surprise anyone.

Do the new Work Leads get any benefits for their new role? I’ve heard they do more than before (we all do) but they supposedly have additions responsibilities. Do they get raises or something else? Seeing the pressure they have I wouldn’t want that job but wonder if Dell makes it worth it. They need to do much more because the managers all have 20++ people and no way can they be on top of all activities. NO WAY.

How pathetic you guys are to target individuals roles, responsibilities?

Everyone in this firm has mortgage, rent to pay, families to take care of.

They all have same life situations to deal with, they were all part of layoffs, job cuts in past in some cases, yet some people are so insecure about themselves they make these posts about roles, which is ridiculous.
