Hearing HRO will close in 2028 and the LAO offices will be merged (not sure when). Has anyone heard anything similar?

Roll up, roll up. In true circus fashion this is your last chance one time entry to pick up the scraps at the bottom of the barrel. Every P.T. Barnum trick has been played and the show will close soon…. Just $1.5bn and we will put you all out of your misery.

Just a little background, I had been at Cigna for 25 years until this past Thursday. I wasn’t laid off because of performance, but instead due to the ego of our director. The last 2 years since this director came on they have ruined our organization and created an environment of utter chaos, anxiety, back stabbing and I would say about 70% of the org looking for a new job. In my nearly 25 years at the company I have never had a leader be so bad. But, I think that is more a reflection of Cigna as a company since the ESI merger. The culture overall has become toxic and employees are no longer valued by the company. What I can say is that since last Thursday I have been getting the best sleep in a long time, little to no anxiety and feeling calm and relaxed. With the 9 week notification period and severance I have until May of 2027 to find a job and had been applying externally since before the JE. I am currently in various stages on around 10 different positions both FTE and Contractor and hoping to have a new less stressful job within a month. So I guess being JE’d isn’t so bad when you get a month vacation and then get double paid for about a year. That doesn’t include the better sleep and less anxiety and chaos. Thank you Cigna for the job elimination!

Dell same ole lines used in the last two conf calls to avoid the stock crashing. Dell is a 15 billion dollar company at best. Bears eat

Why is everyone in Kyle L’s Org a Vice President? That’s excessive.

I have had on numerous occasions been looked at funny or questioned deeper because I stated I work at this company. On one occasion, I was told good luck getting a job outside of there, everyone hates UHG right now and will question your morals/values. I am at a loss for words. I am trying to leave this company ASAP, but I am not hearing back from anywhere.

• CNBC: Peanut butter raises
  More companies are adopting or considering “peanut butter” pay raises, which are across the board increases given equally to all employees rather than tied to performance. While 48 percent of organizations plan to continue performance based raises, 9 percent already use uniform increases, 16 percent plan to implement them this year, and 18 percent are considering the shift.

Companies cite tight compensation budgets, cost cutting pressures, concerns about bias in performance ratings, and administrative simplicity as reasons for the approach. Some also see it as more equitable, ensuring frontline employees are not overlooked.

Experts warn that equal raises can demotivate high performers and create long term retention risks. Although a weaker job market may limit immediate departures, dissatisfied top talent may leave when opportunities improve. During the Great Resignation, low pay was a major factor in record quitting levels.

Employees disappointed with uniform raises are advised to explore other benefits, update job materials, and monitor the market, while carefully weighing any decision to leave.

Has anyone heard their AIP number for the year? Previous posts indicate the 100% will not be 100%.

The transaction involved the acquisition of the West End Center office complex, which consists of two buildings.

Here it comes..... :\ Reach out to your network.

I am a biggest advocate for products that I use. I give feedback. I use word of mouth. I put on good reviews. T on the other hand, does not allow their employees to use any telecommunication technology by enforcing an outdated Draconian policy from 1950s to work at an office. Why should I buy their internet? their cell service? their streaming? (if that's still even alive).

T does not believe in all of this. Why should you?

And now this whole merit situation. Makes you wonder why we even bother, really.

It looks like there are a lot of new, fake reviews (probably coming from corp) like "5.0 - Great Company, this place is the best, everything good in the organisation!" If you want the truth out there, please post your reality.

Can these retired financial guys manage a telecommunications company?

When will details be shared?

What did Todd mean in the SAGA Townhall around having an ILS transformation?

At least ten high ranking positions suddenly eliminated from Generac Power Systems in Pewaukee, WI ( www.generac.com ) in a cost saving effort leading to reorganizing of the remote monitoring teams.

Generac CEO Aaron Jagdfelt interview in the news from earlier:

We are laying people off weekly, expecting a huge tech layoff in Q4 but we can afford to have large celebrations offsite. Wake up everyone this isn’t the old Nike anymore.

Isn’t Ai great? Production reports but no evidence to prove or refute the claim.

Not laid off yet, but all my projects have somehow been distributed to other teams.

Are there going to be anymore impacts today?

no , like seriously , what is even the point of this rebranding exercise? the company is already in a huge loss , like legit 75% down this year , and upon all this loss , they wanna spend on the already existing office infra to "change" the logo , what is even the point of this? also i love the fact that they alligned this EXACTLY with the layoff week and shut downt the office globally .GG.

• coming from someone who was impacted lol

Someone asked in the all hands, could they expect any changes to operational activities etc and Shannon said no

Looks like we are good

Does anyone know if there will be a RIF in Q1 or Q2?

Have folks moved from New York or other high-cost locations to Tampa or Irving for Citi? Was there an implication of loyalty for having done so only to now be discarded like trash?

A business in Winfield is preparing for layoffs. The name of the affected company was not specified. Details regarding the number of employees are unavailable. The reason behind these job reductions remains undisclosed. Further information about the situation was not provided.

Dude is such a goober. His loyalty/praise can be bought with a steak dinner and a thermos with your logo on it. Should you fly him out to a print show or investor event, he’ll even provide strategic guidance (see his comments RE: Kyocera & XRX). RS might be a bigger fraud than SB… Psych, Bandywise is the scam artist GOAT!

I wanted to punch my monitor so badly during that time-wasting “Fireside Chat”. They are seriously downplaying the impact on daily operations and productivity. I can’t stand this smug Mario Lopez doppelgänger guy and how he defends this nonsense by rationalizing that many big companies have “Gone Google”. If they think they’re removing 80-90% of Microsoft licenses by the end of the year, then they must be smoking some crazy stuff. As someone who has been experimenting with the Google suite, let me be clear, they are Mickey Mouse tools that are more appropriate for middle school students or the mom & pop corner bakery. Either they are severely inept, which is totally possible, or they are panicking behind the scenes and have too much pride to acknowledge that they f’ed up. This will give them another excuse, other than tariffs, to explain the company’s decline. Expect a bullet point on the 2027 Kickoff Google Slides to say something to the effect of “Unexpected Technological Challenges in an Agile Environment”.

4 year deal signed by next weekend

The ask Mr AI-washing about AI-washing. How much are they paid for this hogwash?

Traditionally, it seems layoff meetings are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a reason for this?

I wonder how it may have turned out for Crown if Mr Paul Elliott Singer had not reared his head.
