• Maurice Smith, at today's town hall.

Brain dead.

Also: he says culture is strategy.

He means culture eats strategy for breakfast.

It is a famous quote.

From a book.

You know, the things he says he does not read.

...any news on more RIF's/potentially impacted areas?

So exciting!!! Will we learn Maurice’s favorite Cookie flavor? Action hero? Thoughts on the upcoming World Cup?

What will he read to us today?

Will Dan finally deliver on his promise to share his grand plan for the future or will this be another wasted 30 min. listening to him ramble on about nothing?

So are townhall questions anonymous then?

That little slip up in the Sunbury townhall makes you wonder.

I thought a disgruntled employee was popping things in there. scared the heck out of me...LOL

Since Charlie Scharf assumed command of Wells Fargo, the company has deteriorated both from a macro and micro perspective. He has laid off staff, the stock has collapsed, and he lacks leadership skills and clients have suffered. Therefore, at the next townhall meeting, a vote will be taken and Charlie should be asked to leave. Then, the firm should be broken up into separate parts and sold. Enough is enough.

Carelon Town Hall thread

Surprised nobody has said anything

Has this been confirmed?

At the last town hall they said layoffs were done and we had the right people in the right places. But more people were rif'd last week. Not sure what to believe.

Here is the thread for today’s WF town hall. This is the place for employees to air their concerns and talk about the elephant in the room, real issues we as employees are facing and none of this amateurish soft ball questions nonsense!

HR employees, what are your thoughts around our most recent townhall??

Mine: could've been an email and Bye Anne!

I’m still trying to unpack that strange farewell town hall Cordani threw for himself.

How could neither DC nor BE acknowledge the layoffs that happened less than 1 week prior to this event and that are still ongoing?

I don’t even know what I expect from this conversation. I think I just need to know that everyone else thinks it was eff’d up and awesomely tone deaf.

As the title shows what are we as employees and contractors going to ask for? the sky should be the limit given the last one many thumbed up the nasty coffee in the west,

I was one of those laid off last year. After years of declining mental health due to RTO, micromanaging, and “doing more with less,” I was freed. Getting that morning 1:1 was terrible. But almost immediately, I felt relief. Every day since, I have continued to feel overwhelming relief.

I don’t make as much money as I used to. I’m taking a break before I move into another corporate gig, if I ever do at all. I’m working for a small company now. One that really does feel like family, and does really care. But I chose a job that I’m passionate about, and I don’t even care about the pay cut for now. I kept my cost of living low and everything else fell into place.

I am so grateful to never have to sit through another hour-long slog of lies about how we’re becoming more efficient through some indeterminate means, or how AI is going to save us, or how we do totally care about our coworkers and clients. Sixty minutes of nothing, every time. I don’t think I could have written a single bullet of content gleaned from those Town Halls if I tried. It would have been less offensive if they just told me they loathed me.

I keep checking in on these threads. My heart breaks for those who haven’t been released. They are putting you through psychological torture. They know what they’re doing. You are livestock to them. I’m so sorry. My thoughts are with those who remain. Polish up those resumes, and I truly wish you all the best. An ISP with a fat severance is probably the happiest ending you can hope for at this point.

Felt a bit unserious.

town hall says “leverage global teams”.
I might as well look for another job at this point.

Confirmed by MSD himself in ISG townhall

"Silliness" LOL

Did everyone get the all employee Townhall invite ? My colleague did not. Does it mean she is in trouble ?

Will there be any meaningful updates about potential layoffs coming out of the March 12th town hall? Given recent comments from Block’s CEO regarding layoffs, and with payday falling on the 13th, the timing raises some questions about whether any announcements might follow.

Creating this to discuss the circle jer… I mean town hall today

New risk framework=major layoff in risk?

What we betting? I have 4 nickels and a piece of string, all in.

Since Home and community townhall for 03/05 was cancelled and rescheduled to 03/26, what area do we think will be getting laid off this coming Thursday?

I feel like there isn’t any real insider knowledge on this page, but let’s give a go. Anyone know what the tour in first week of April will be for? With everything going on, I believe it’s potentially to bring in a new business.

Can anybody even remember when that happened?

Last minute townhall announcement on Friday for Monday at 8 am. Thoughts?

Who else started following her on TikTok after the mention during the Enterprise Town Hall? I'm loving this employee-generated content and it will be really interesting to see what kind of sales impact she will have. The growth in number of followers and all the enthusiasm for Staples in her post comments is exciting to witness.

It’s been a few months. What’s the verdict on the new GM?

Are we offshoring all data jobs in the next couple of years?

The only takeaway for me was the OE moment. Basically somebody executed some script that ran up a $4m bill in a day. That seems like a fire-able offense. Which id--t did this and that’s one expensive OE moment.

Oh and also a very long winded meeting where every manager talked about how they’re going to do AI, except half of our talent have already quit, with more of them coming next month after the bonus check clears.

I guess the answer is more EY.

Why was the town hall for 3/5 cancelled

Same B.S. As Always!!!

AK was more open than usual, Surprising!
My Personal Favorite was the Slido Questions, happy to see a lot of us are on the same page, They Probably Won’t use this anonymous Q/A format again though…

Is town hall related to meetings intimating layoff

Curious how others felt about today’s town hall. Did the messaging resonate with you? I’m trying to process it and would appreciate different perspectives.

If you want, tell me:
• What specifically rubbed you the wrong way?
• What words or moments stood out?
• Was there anything NOT addressed?

Let’s unpack it instead of letting it just sit in your chest.

Here we go again!

This witch SM is having her Town Hall and is putting me to sleep. What a waste of company time

Each time they say AI or India, take a sip. Too bad it's a webcast, would be funny to all give a "wow" emoji reaction each time.

Rumor has it, there will be a significant announcement at EIP Townhall.
