Monarch Tractor, an agricultural tech startup, faces an uncertain future. The company recently laid off nearly all its remaining staff. Its Livermore, California headquarters has been vacated and equipment auctioned. Monarch Tractor developed the MK-V, an electric autonomous smart tractor. The company had raised over $200 million and was valued highly less than two years ago.

The portal just opened and every manager I've talked to has no people changing. What a tu-d of a disappointment.
Cricket selling Fiber????

Looking on LinkedIn there is loads of Broadcom / VMW jobs coming up. I left as a Senior Technical Support Engineer and I am thinking of applying to go back in.
Genuine question, how's life inside now? Would it be worth going back in

Well, that was fun, more value of the company obliterated in less time then you can chat the GPT. So many mistakes and fumbles...
Countless bad hires
Endless RIFs
Missed Quarters after Quarters (more like Y/Y misses)
Unlimited amount of Fuchsia bad fashion purchased
Mediocre acquisitions
Not retiring but got the BOOT
No longer the all female C-Suite bunchy bunch
Woke beyond belief
Endless RIFs (again... and again..) ± 1,000 people let go or MORE
Hustle in the Bustle
Off Shored Jobs - ±850 or so or MORE
6.2Bil of Value Reduced to 1.9Bil of Value
Precipitous Stock drop - 56% (or more) in two years
Endless more RIFs
Did I say terrible HIRES?
What a legacy, like a pinnacle of a legacy, like an empire of dirt or sand in the Sonoran desert.
At least she learnt how to spell AI
LOLOLOLOL..... Later!
As we come up to the 10 year Anniversary of ACT 2026, We can look at Intel so fondly of how well it has blossom (into a flaming pile of tu-ds!!!).
Curious to those who left during ACT 2016, how has life been after your departure? Is the Grass truly Greener on the Other side? Do you miss those yearly focal reviews? Do you miss those time-consuming Meetings? Do you miss the BS shenanigans that Intel is known for (aka Constructive Confrontation, or just Confrontational without the Construction? Kinda like IDC!)? Or the Empty promises from Management in QGS after every quarter? (Just like Intel Foundry :) )
Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings. Remember, its a safe space, even from BK. (Hopefully he didn't show you one of his drones).
Did anyone else notice in the Kwapcast how they're already starting to soften the language about RTO?
It was indicated that the reason they didn't go for a 3 day RTO is because they felt like they'd only be able to get people to do 1 and it was suggested that by going for a 5 day RTO, they'll be able to get people to do 3.
Hold the line, ladies and gentlemen. I think Bill D's nonsense will blow over.
Anyone has real info here? How many people and which business unit getting hit ?
Today is the last day for many who were impacted back on January 28th. How USAA treated those in office that dark day, just remember, karma is real and not tomorrow or next month or even next year, but everything eventually gets a return.

Not like you were not warned.
Love seeing how these YEARS of instability and layoffs are finally paying off and that stock price is soaring. (Ouchy ouchy)
W.T.F.
Hint: Layoffs don't save companies.
What a s***show
Good old boys network has to GO.
Why is it so secretive? Are they going to reduce workforce by October ?
Have they published an org chart for Arium and Zayo? Is tower team allowed to see it?
I can't believe AIG is giving the UK off for Good Friday and Easter, bit not in the US.
Go look at the UK holiday calendar vs US, they get a lot more time off than we do.
Sad AIG doesn't treat everyone fair.
Companies like AWS, Meta or any FAANG and mostly other companies for that matter, ki-l your job when they either fire you or do mass layoffs.
In contrast, working at Pearson, they ki-l your own career! Most people are either ignorant or overlook it. The stakes are very high with low pay when you work for Pearson. You are literally low balling your own career, your prime working life for a company that is highly unstable and no growth!

When IBM dominated. Sadly now, not any more.

From the video embedded in the article, decent amount of IBM equipment shown, but the highlight of the video is from 7:10-8:49, showing an IBM punch card machine in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_bqc76_3xU
Also in the video, gotta love the mention (4:04-4:28) of the fact that no one but one guy who's left knows how a lot of the old equipment works because all the rest of them have been laid-off.
The personalities of slack at Nike:
JR - responds to every and each question in COP and AI channels
DM - pretty much has her own store in Alt Class
JM - posts every shoe drop in sneaker channels, the good and the bad
Van - everyone getting heart broken over drops that have a lower win rate than SNKRs
EV - daily complaining that people aren’t charging their cars or stayed over time limit acting like it will make a difference
Can’t imagine the amount of time wasted in some of these channels.
What else?
UHC didnt make the Fortune 100 Best Companies to work for list. I wonder why. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that this is one of the only “safe spaces” where people feel comfortable speaking openly about the company and its culture says everything about why there’s no real path to recovery. There’s no room for dissent or different perspectives. Leadership is bloated and top heavy, more focused on its own reflection than reality.
People argue about JD, DEI, or whatever the issue of the day is. That misses the point. Every leader has been handpicked by the founder. The culture starts at the top, and it’s been reinforced for years. Nothing changes unless it comes from the outside or fresh perspectives are actually given a shot.
Good ideas go nowhere. Marketing clings to its budget and congratulates itself on campaigns while product sits on shelves. We used to set trends. Now we’re following Carhartt, Crocs, and Adidas. We spend seven figures on campaigns while some kid with a phone is creating viral content. That’s the competition.
You’ve got a retro CEO, a retro CMO, a stale CFO, no COO, and now the CTO is gone. So who’s actually running the ship?
Target price: $35 by the end of 2027.
I read when FB was in charge he changed the severance package from 2 week to one week per service year. Is that still the case under ML with the recent layoffs? If it went back to 2 weeks, still capped at 26 weeks?
Someone posted in the comments here... Please elaborate ?
Please post any information you have on the Follow the Work letter such as what type of information is included and what it asks you to do.
What locations does it list as your new office address? How much times does it give you? Have your teammates received one?
Serious responses only please. This is to help others and myself understand what is going on at T.
Anyone know anything about a meet & greet in FW on 4/22, hosted my UHC Tech? Feels like a trap somehow lol.
Hi. Any PNC corporate travelers out there? What are the real meal expense limits? Is it truly $20 for breakfast, $0 for lunch, and $40 for dinner? Also, are the meal time windows strictly observed?
Thanks.
Heard from my leaders that Stock Together was approved. We'll be getting email soon (i don't know specific date) on details.

Lots more news articles and post views generated about this RIF than the total AI tour. Great marketeering.
Add 10k more evangelists to promote the company at their new employers and it’s a total success.
When do companies fail? Too much debt? Negative cash flow? Or when the customers don’t believe they will be here next year?
I heard a grapevine that citi is tracking the hours you are on your pc or you are offline/ away from your screen. Is there any truth to it? Can managers confirm?
By numbers, JD grew top-line revenue from $37.4B to $51.4B (+37% overall). EH is driving a revenue contraction from $51.4B to a projected ~$46B (-10% decline).
Numbers don’t lie or drop tears. Winning!
Seriously. How is it possible to get out of the hole we are in? Can't lower prices, Customers don't want to come back to us, Can't gain trust to get new customers, Verizon is coming in. I wish Dennis or management would comment on how this company will start making money again! I have been here for a long time and I can't see a way to get out of this hole Altice put us in.
