Rumor of DOGE level upheavals

There is allegedly a team akin to DOGE reviewing every department and sniffing out “redundancies”. There are Olympic level mental gymnastics required to hunt for areas that can withstand loss of manpower while your corporate offices stand more than half empty and your company branding is peppered along every metropolitan city block and CLT FC jerseys. There are more outsourced contractors and budget cuts than I can ever remember in my long term employment with this company.

With lower than market rate pay for employees across the board and bonuses and raises commonly underfunded, where is all the money going?

@OP That study has been going on for a while, pretty much since we were all sent home and the previous CFO wanted to know how productive we were. Eventually it became a permanent function. Turns out that I am one of the top 5 consistent most productive cogs in Charlotte. If I wasn't a white male they'd be paying me more and probably allow me to work from home periodically like they do to everyone with bo--s on my floor. This place is infested with discrimination.

The CO'S speech was mostly positive but some red flags i noticed:
He mentioned "doing more with less". This could mean anything, paying less, hiring less, future lay offs etc...
And their continued investments in AI technology

Explains why some folks from corporate office were secretly walking around the ally non corporate offices. I could see them as being redundancy analysts, aka efficiency experts.

Where’s the money going?

Here’s a hint: they paid the new legal counsel Hope Mehlman, who started late 2024, over $3.5 million. Of course don’t pay attention to the fact that she came from Discover
