Amongst all the doom and gloom I think leadership has finally started to talk about doing the basics right. 10 years wasted on trying to be a tech company and now that tech is ubiquitous thanks to AI, the leadership can finally focus on building decent cars again. Here's to hoping for better years after demise of phony leaders 🙏

So is it still happening on Monday ?

Watch the Q1 update.

Somebody posted under the Gas Prices thread that a memo went out regarding a change in the WFH schedule for Burlington due to insufficient parking for CFS employees. I did not get this message. Can anybody confirm this? What is the change and when does it start?

Trading under $8.50/share. Its IPO price was $20/share less than a year ago.

There are no layoffs today. Whatever news is going around is just a rumor.

might as well say what we all know. each day is like watching a trainwreck even latest clueless strat team knows emrs poor planning and short staffed centers wont work. investors coming to collect in 2027 the worst for patients and staff is coming. referrals to a handful of places no lcsws and demotions for all the poor staff left holding the po-p bag. playbooks trainings and daily new workflows wont stop the terrible reputation centerH$ll now has. psa: riffing people then posting their jobs that week is trash.

Multiple positions currently open at Paramount are listed as fully remote. What's the deal? Are these teams that have always been remote/have been grand-fathered in to stay this way?

Byron Allen recently discussed layoffs within his media division. He described these workforce reductions as "thoughtful" and "humane." Allen attributed the changes to shifts in the broader media business. He stated the economy improved, offering new jobs for those let go. Allen Media Group also sold several local TV stations last year.

We are thriving, hiring abd returning to growth

No more layoffs. Just extra people to deal with the new business

I was LR‘ed early 2024.. and today I am happy it happened then and not now. Cisco does, like most US companies, not care about employees and are unable to do a proper AOP planning - at cost of the lives of tousands of mother and fathers who have to provide to their families. I hope Karma will one day catch ELT and greedy investors like Blackrock. I am now on a better place where they hire more carefuly.

Interesting wasn’t expecting that. Indications were BAE insourcing a lot of resource at the moment

For some reason, and don't ask...lol...I did a random Nielsen search on reddit, and sure enough the first thing that came up was an 18yr old thread from back in the day during the original Nielsen demolition by Calhoun/Habib regarding their "genius" idea that deleting the "reply all" button in our Microsoft Outlook emails would save money! Lol. Man, I remember this like it was yesterday. This would have been circa 2008, about 2 years into the "transformation." And here we are all these years later!

Surprising, no headcount cut, announced till now

Heard rumblings of a hiring freeze. Take a look at the careers page…only 22 listed. A mix of 22 positions that are determined to be necessary during this financial freeze. The first job option has an estimated range of 227-431k……..

I wish I would have been in SVP or D level to not get axed. So far what I have seen only these levels are in decision panel and only vp avp getting cut. Which makes no sense though because they again hire new resources for those positions once the wave is crossed. They don't have any idea what are they doing (an ordinary VP has better understanding) just thinking themselves as king and cutting people they don't like not on merit.

How long are the investors going to buy that this company is going to do better because they’re going “back to basics?”

Answer:
Forever.

Bleed 🩸 money

Mental Health Awareness meetings - really?after folks have been laid off and more layoffs to come - this company is either clueless or really twisted with its cruelty

Rumor has it that a location has been selected. If you can't tell us officially, tell is here. Go ahead, the floor is yours.

Gotta love how these companies do layoffs.
No one tells you the notification timeline or process to determine whether safe or not

So glad not a new hire or a person with 30 years to work

Where do you get money after layoffs to buy shitTel?? Who is actually buying shitTel ?

Verizon announced new layoffs affecting several hundred U.S. employees. These cuts follow a larger reduction of 13,000 roles less than six months ago. The company aims to achieve $5 billion in operating expense cuts by 2026. This restructuring is part of a broader strategy for cost savings and efficiency. Verizon also reported strong first-quarter growth and expanded its fiber network.

Am I the only one feeling that the NetIQ has terrible interface design and is terrible to use?

Let’s see how Dennis Mathew spins the stock below $1.00 during his Town Hall meeting today. I suspect won’t even be brought up.

The tide has turned, The stock price is beginning to recover and the future is bright

We have shrank and are now hiring and returning to growth

“Annuals checks to begin soon” Another way to weed out people instead of laying off. I get it’s in the employment contract but I’ve never got this email all the years I’ve worked here.

June 10th is the next wave for Tampa and NY.

The new head of strategy was supposed to retire after the Hess integration. Why didn’t he? Is it because we don’t have anyone else capable?

I've watched hardworking, competent people get lower ratings than they deserved, then get laid off as soon as possible. It's not about your value. It's about cutting costs.

Here we go again

Fewer than 10 of our team were cut (US team, not going to DOX myself). The remaining department are breathing a sigh of relief right now.

So today those that requested VRIF get told yes or no. It is mid afternoon in Europe already and still silence. I guess they are going to push the 14th May date to be as late as possible in the day just to be “respectful” which is how Louis described the process would be.

Anything happening in sales?

Congratulations to the team all over LinkedIn, we are so proud of each other. So exciting.
