Aravind/ Blanchard’s org “flattened “‘even more.

Aravind is the one leading the effort to outsource to India- FYI

Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

It’s getting to be that time again. I’ve been hearing rumblings about layoffs coming next month… any news?

Anyone else heard about RIF notifications tomorrow?

This witch SM is having her Town Hall and is putting me to sleep. What a waste of company time

Thoughts?

Another manager has left the emea space. what’s happening over there

There are no roles that can’t be back filled so why not take volunteers to assist in the mission of reducing workforce. Many would take it and be gone already.

How many of you are planning to no show next week and continue working from home? The more of us that do it, the harder it will be for them to punish us. Who’s in??

Is next week just for people going from 3 to 4 days? Or is it affecting people who were remote and not remote anymore

Also what happens if we don't do the 4 days

Can any kind soul remaining in the he-l of BNY access this link and share the Strada link? Thank you.

Sorry, just needed to vent. This company is so stingy. I cannot believe they don’t reimburse lunch while traveling for business and have certain hours for dinner. I arrived at my hotel at 11:30 starving because I have been flying since 5 pm and I literally just a bunch of single serve creamers to try to deal with my hunger pangs.
Also, almost no one in my department seems to know what they are doing. They pay cr-p so all they can afford are inexperienced people. The poor analysts are bombarded with too many deals. Hire more people at entry level. Their salaries are the lowest.

Should have known how stingy this place based on their branches. Hated being a customer at a branch with no teller. The ATM and virtual teller constantly glitched out. Ugh!

How many of you are able to relate to this from a now former XX

I saw their Savvy scores. My MD told me a year ago that the VP down there staked his flag in the ground and said we will be great at Savvy. Lowest in the country. LOL. Get rid of that guy!

I can’t wait to leave

We’ve had at least two significant storms in the last few weeks, depositing 12-18 inches across the region. And a smattering of smaller snowfalls also affecting commutes.

What is the official expectation from corporate for weekly attendance when there is a snow day? No one has said whether we are expected to make up that attendance day later in the week. Seems logical that we wouldn’t have to, but there has been no official word and people are uneasy.

Moreover, even if we’re not expected to make up the day — will attendance tracking reports consider snow days, or will they hurt our average days in attendance?

Should we expect more layoffs? Has anyone heard anything?

More decline ,in what matters for home improvement .Lowe's can sell t shirts ,candy and adult novelties .It is not their core business ,which Mr M has abandoned .

There are no LEXMARK employees any longer, you got bought by XEROX and are therefore all XEROX EMPLOYEES now.

There, has that now sunk in.

All this talk is getting old.

Description states 2023, it was 2024.

Now we aren't paying photographers and more. Of course we blame the court. The large brands made a deal...so billions not going to be paid and it's only started
Meanwhile Bloomingdale's alone featuring 35 new brands on 3 floors in. NYC and it's only the start.. Nordstrom also featuring thousands of new items unlike before.

Did any one notice the recent changes for HR? Is this the sign for the next reorg for the company as whole? (I know most parts of the company is currently or just finished their reorg)

6 out of last 7 yrs no profit. two key dates. Market crashes right around 3:16. 4:1 is a critical date b/c if MoA is not in the black by then turning a profit, it's almost lights out, game over for the firm. It's not funny. 1st quarter numbers can not be overstated. Be transparent. B-E-transparent. Rich said profit by Q4 2026 & he needs to be held to his own standard. If we are $5-$10M in the negative as of 4/1 firm will have a tough time the rest of year & to quote sleepy Joe, "it's not a joke."

2 DCO position's eliminated. Constant reduction and restructuring. Have has several immediate teammates eliminated as well.

Anyone have any info?

Look out below. Market has lost faith in Arvind and Jim's financial engineering shenanigans.

How many c bands or level 3 it takes to close a building due to bad weather?
At 300k each, they caanot convice stanky to close a building for a day.

I noticed at the parking garage in Irving today the company has added “Lot Full” signs to a garage that is almost always empty. I took this as a harbinger of 5 DOW RTO.

Remember when they claimed to be "A business of csring "
