I am at the bank now depositing my loose change from the past six months. Waiting for the door to open and listening to Christmas music. Then off to my job in biotech.

I wonder why Union isn’t involved in layoffs because every where I read if the company is restructuring even Union could be laid off! I safely assume August 2026 no more contracts for Union employees. Someone help me understand.

Emails started going to US employees, slack channels for US employees only started showing up. They are protecting the offshore employees from seeing this ugly carnage here in the US. US companies keep making billions here, yet they fire American... — read more

Got meeting invite from SD, but our whole team is on it. SD informed us 2days ago he is moving to another org. So our whole team may be getting let go, except for him of course.

I hope things work out for all of you -- both those let go and those left to pickup the pieces.

Or its employee only special offer

Wonder what 15k negative regiews would do to future talent thinking about joining this place.

This says a lot about him as a person or leader.. Verizon will be sinking ship. Forget customer loyalty, I do not think there will be any employee loyalty.

Say you get told in a few hours that you're being rif'd. What are you going to say in response to your boss? I know there's no options, just wondering how I'll take it if it happens and what to say in return, other than just sitting there... — read more
