Are we getting raises this year?

Sorry lads

More leadership retirement or are they just getting axed? they dont even look old enough to be retiring

So, was that an actual thing or folks talking out of their 🍑?

Forget about the layoffs and the impending doom guys , the toxic culture seems ok when we are minting money isn’t it ?

Get your popcorn ready!

In all seriousness, do we have a ballpark on when the update will be released about September onwards for the Connect Weeks schedule? Thanks!

Trying to catch the vibe and see through the fluff here. I see a meeting with potential future board member (JG) on the calendar, an earnings call, an all employee meeting, and then a wider team meeting following that.

Personally, I was going to leave the company in short order, but this feels like re-org and layoff damage control on my calendar.

What’s the temperature in the room where you are? I’m remote and have not been plugged into the roomer mill in years. Any concrete info?

From modest background, Arvind Krishna is the kind of immigrant success story people should actually talk about more. He came to the U.S., built his career through skill and discipline, and rose to become CEO of one of the most important technology companies in the world. No shortcuts, no noise—just execution. At a time when leadership gets questioned constantly, he’s focused on long-term strategy, AI innovation, and keeping IBM steady. That’s what real success looks like: earn it, build it, and lead with substance.

Thoughts?

How do you earn some quick cash when you've already shrunk the workforce? Sell off your Intellectual Property! You have to wonder why they weren't sold to Extreme Networks back in 2017 when Avaya sold off its failing <Ahem... non-core 😂) networking business.

Let em have it!

Anyone have info on the ABS migration? What is taking its place?

I just read the article in a News that company is about to layoff 200 people in Kosice, Slovakia by July 1. One of the cheapest places to hire people and yet, here we go. No one is sparred, not even cheap labor.

The nightmare that is Google!

Can you believe they post just a few days after the lovely HR email.

There is a link to ‘Highlights of investing in our people report’ and even a video. Exxon cares

Does anyone have any information on the next layoff. Who will be affected, possible dates?

Google ATT RTO lawsuit.

Can Mac users actually expect it to change any further?

It’s been awfully quiet lately, any updates?

Did anyone receive a copy of the benefits book in the mail even though they didn't request it? What's up with that?

Looks like Tara is out unceremoniously. No ‘pursuing other opportunities’ or other corporate speak just ‘bye Felicia’.

Who’s got the inside scoop?

Citi will be next to announce a 5 day RTO model. Almost certain the announcement will happen by July.

Good luck all. Doesn't it just make you sick that our CEO got a 30 million bonus but people still keep getting laid off? Makes me feel gross to work for this company.

Xerox is in the process of being sold.

Woodlands or Denver? Who’ll be left, reorganized, stressed waiting for the next hit?

Nvidia has reportedly spent more than a year exploring a deal for a large PC-focused company that it believes could reshape the PC and Server landscape!

This is a company that is slowly losing its identity. Rent-A-Center is now forcing their employees into becoming a Amazon drop off hub. This a desperation move to attempt new blood into Rent-A-Center. This means additional responsibilities for employees without any additional pay. So on top of begging clients to buy something, chasing after past due clients that just hide behind their doors, employees are expected to ship out a unrelated companies packages. Is it even Rent-A-Center anymore or just a company on life support?

Does anyone know how to over ride the stupid background picture of the USB stadium?
Seems management locked the settings.

What’s up with word floating around that the in office requirement is being updated to 9 hours for the day to count?

Heard a rumor it is higher for some teams versus others this year? e.g. EMTECH?

Which division under Baker Hughes would you say is the safest from layoffs?

Which division do you think will get hit the hardest?

The company as a whole seems to be in a downsizing strategy? Or do you see some areas with growth/increased hiring?

it is too big. Too bloated. Too bureaucratic.

I don't think EH can turn this big ship without grounding it.
Not even his Grandma can turn Nike around.

MP just rode the ride and let it get big.
JD drove this 18 wheeler to the ditch.
EH cannot pull it out the ditch nor has ability to pull it out.

Since you cannot turn around HMS Titanic in this harbor, the only solution is to cut the company into different pieces and run it separately and make it more aggressive.

Intel’s influence has quietly spread through Lenovo, specifically within IDG. There has been a clear shift in how things operate, and it is becoming harder to ignore. Leadership influence there now appears closely tied to Intel, and it shows in the decisions being made.
There is a strong sense of internal favoritism around that group. The same people continue to support each other, even when results are poor. At some point, it no longer looks like cohesion and starts to look like a lack of accountability.
The impact is obvious. Execution feels slower, more layered, and less effective. Energy is lower, confidence is slipping, and it is being noticed. It no longer feels like the same organization in that part of the business.

The network is being allowed to degrade while sociopath's are filling their pockets. US middle class is being gutted.... Way to go bootlicking middle and upper management!
