#rumor

Something must seriously be brewing in the pot.

Will someone in the know please share if a VSP is planned and what the terms would likely be? I've seen a few comments that suggest one is coming.

I'm not really looking for opinions but for someone who knows to share.

There’s talk about more coming on Monday, but who knows if it’s true. If anyone has solid info, please share. It’d help to know what we’re really walking into.

Until the next group.

Has any of this been confirmed? If it’s true, do we know any details? The numbers mentioned are scary high.

There is a big one coming up.. not sure if it gonna be this month or next.. But a huge one.. we have given a lot of names .. like bottom 40% folks for sure.. After being in many meetings, I think my own position is at risk.. So fingers crossed 🤞

Lots of rumors on their lay off page.

Been waiting for this for months now

Any news on departures from the Leadership Forum; has anything been announced?

We received an email today from our group leader to say that he ‘strongly’ advises us to attend the CES town hall next week. First time we’ve ever had an email like this so we immediately started getting our conspiracy thinking hats on to try and come up with an idea of what’s happening.
Maybe it’ll be more of the same or maybe a big announcement, who knows.
Anyone got any clues as to what it is?

Adweek published an article saying DC is now CMO but the page is 404 - what's happened?

Lots of rumors about a big Imperial announcement next week on Sep 29, including potential divestment to Suncor, sale of Quarry Park, etc.

Anyone hear anything?

Any one else hearing about the office closures and consolidations outside of the west coast?

Is your location impacted or is it just limited to San Diego, San Francisco and Long Beach? Seems strange when we are trying to bring people back to the office to collaborate and share.

HUMC to potentially buy out Optum in NJ!!! Has anyone else heard this??? New leadership has been a mess they have no idea what they’re doing! It’s ridiculous and straight up embarrassing that this is what Optum has become!!! What a failure!

Cryptic email from GB. Where are the rumors? What’s coming next? When? What %?

Serious question? Or Rumor?

Let’s say that you are a Phase 2 employee who gets blindsided jn November and laid off. Do you get severence as well? Or just nothing, but the ability to collect unemployment.

Seems kind of unfair to not allow an early option to quit and take the severence pay because you are remote. You would hope they would not lay off any remote workers in November but from what I understand everyone in the entire company is vulnerable on November 11.

I’ve heard that an acquisition may be back or at least for part of DXC. The reporting date of October 28 has been mentioned around the halls as a big announcement day so either mass workforce reductions, yet another restructure or acquisition - there is definitely something brewing - it’s all too quiet!

Apparently the local CEP-anointed “leaders” in AK left the frontline O&M layoff list unprotected on a shared drive, and someone got a photo - now HR and IT are scrambling to round up anyone who saw it?

Is this real? It would be great entertainment if it weren’t so sad

One of the EVP is very close to me and mentioned that they plan to move the entire BDR functionality to India. There are over 200 BDRs in the states and Canada. Wonder what will happen to them.

One less great company with a value proposition and an amazing corporate culture to be bought out…

Does anyone know anything about XOM buying Diamondback? I’m seeing post about it online.

Heard a rumor that CAS is not doing layoffs but rather not re-filling positions putting double the work on their existing team. Any truth?

MSFT
or
GooGle
or
TSMC
or
??

There have been few to any Chevron layoffs since announcing…is the objective to farm fear from staff? In Houston not seeing housing price decreases yet…

Has anybody else heard rumors about October layoffs?

What's up with rumors about layoffs sometime next month? Any truth to it?

Any rumors on when and if that will happen. If approved they should be able to start getting a return on that investment early.

What’s with the rumours of upcoming announcements on either Sept 29 or Oct 1? The amount of layoffs, sell off, rumours is nuts.

Looking to summarize the rumors over multiple threads surrounding potential Sept 30 announcements. Note that some rumors are of course contradictory.

• sale/closure of Fife
• sale/closure of Fawley
• sale/closure of Chem plants on European Continent
• upstream layoffs in Germany
• sale of Imperial Oil
• XOM buyout of remaining IOL shares with removal of redundancies
• sale of Kearl
• merger of Upstream Operations with EMPS
• sale of Quarry Park with employees moved downtown Calgary
• sale of Quarry Park with employees moved to Edmonton
• sale of Quarry Park with Employees moved to Edmonton/Sarnia (US/DS)

How true is this?

How good is this?

Any rumours?

overheard layoffs might be hitting marketing. Anyone else hear some rumblings?

Heard moving to off shore associates. Not just contractors but actual associates working offshore. Anyone else heard of this? I openings just a rumor.

People are mentioning potential layoffs before the end of the month, what's that about? Just rumors or was there something concrete that would give some credence to it?
