#rumor

There was supposed to be some sort of big meeting or announcement 10:00 a.m. the other day. What is the news from that?

This is a layoff site after all. Any insight if there will be any the rest of 2025? Will the government shut down have any effect?

I love how fake the PGL's are these days. They look at you with a fake blank look on their faces knowing what is about to happen. Everyday when I arrive at work, I have the feeling that it is my last day. Someone in security let out that they have an assignment in a couple weeks at the JRC. Gee, what could that be. Why are layoffs so taboo, what not prepare the employees now, so they can look for a job. Instead of dumping them on the spot without notice.

My challenge to the leadership at JRC, stop hiding behind your tailored suits. Stop giving us your fake smile and hand shake. Go to your employees within your group and tell them what's to come.

LOL:

One user in a thread on thelayoff.com predicted how the company’s assets would be shifted around. His first prediction was that Calgary Quarry Park HQ would be sold to Brookfield.

Any inside information on what jobs are being eliminated? What states are being affected?

Clearly it’s the month to cut. Heard anything about the looming layoffs?

LOL.

Seeing a lot of Permian leadership in SUVs around Civitas field. Will this be a good purchase?

Looks like one less C producer to be sold in the Permian basin. Exxon would benefit from the uplift and diversity of locations.

Will a purchase make sense? Chevron is seeing some issues in the Permian basin. This purchase would uplift production quickly and reduce the need for drilling.

JC and crew on a reconnaissance mission spotted in black SUVs around Civitas field. Will the be a good acquisition for APA? What are the Pros and Cons?

Something big is going down in Spec Chem. Either a sell off or something disruptive. NDAs are being issued and signed. Rumor is Borger is going to be sold off.

I heard a rumor of layoffs in Nov. Any credibility to the rumors this time or just speculation based on past events?

Colleagues in deal desk being notified of termination today. Whole teams wiped out. San Antonio office.

Birdies be chirppin'

Just finished my layoff meet, good luck all.

There is a rumor floating around from multiple sources that the bank is looking to cap severance at couple of weeks. Has anybody heard anything about this?

How much are they going to gouge us for? Rumor has it costs are astronomical this year… aging workforce and all. I’m guessing a 50% increase in premiums and a cut to their HSA contributions.

What do you think?

Walgreens was just purchased by Sycamore. I just read a news article that says Target is also being looked at by private equity firms as well! Are all retail stores pretty much doomed at this point. Wow.

Factors influencing the buyout speculation:

Potential for an attractive acquisition price: Target's stock has been trading near a six-year low, which could make it an attractive and affordable target for a private equity firm.

Change in CEO: The recent announcement that CEO Brian Cornell would be replaced by company insider Michael Fiddelke is thought to have added to the speculation.

Mixed financial results: Despite reporting "better-than-feared" second-quarter earnings, the company's recent results failed to produce a sufficient recovery in its share price.

Previous buyout rumors: News outlets reported on buyout speculation back in late 2024, following disappointing earnings results.

Mini-tender offer: In September 2025, Target received an unsolicited mini-tender offer from TRC Capital Corp., though this offer was for a small portion of the company and not a full buyout.

Hearing rumblings about weekly WFRs underway, any numbers or specific depts?

Rumors swirling he committed some serious ethics violations.

We need details!

Rumor has it that a 25% reduction is going to hit ISG at Lenovo. Good luck everyone.

Coming soon…….

Sick of constantly getting edged by this site with no payoff.

I've been hearing so

Any word what Kerry had to say?

I heard its gonna be in Alpharetta this year

Mega layoffs before Dec.

Big wave layoffs is coming

The higher ups had down in Houston back in March when this was decided

Big one

I know lay offs are happening all around us. Duh. Any word from managers on this forum who can speak to lay offs for BAH folks? Year end is looming…..job market su-ks!

Guess what will XOM do?

I am not certain but this smells like a sale.

We'll know in 10 minutes.

Has Exxon or Imperial Oil mgmt made any statement about ownership changes? I am tracking Imperial's board (it's on fire BTW as they are going through massive cuts this afternoon) and there are many rumors about this?

Managers are aware of who will be impacted in Oct/Nov. HR has the lists already. Does anyone know if the names are set in stone?

Newfoundland boy invites you all 5PM eastern

Stay tuned

20% HC reduction

Very connected senior employee halfway around the world told me today Imperial was to be sold. Stopped by here to see total panic so am thinking it must be real.
