goodbye Dell

Got laid off last week after 10 years of work.
My manager joined the regular 1x1 on Tuesday and started reading "the script" . After that, crickets.
My VP, with whom I worked for a number of years, didn't even acknowledge me. So much for all the late night calls and weekend escalations. Not even a private reply to a goodbye email. Meh.


476 gone after excel line complaints about favoritism

476 sm. Was fired for favoritism
Time cards didn’t match schedule.
Some didn’t clock out for lunches and were paid

Very inconsistent when it came to time and attendance, some warnings deleted others were reprimanded for being late.

Anyway, 476 got the boot after several excel line complaints


Such a weird situation

Our manager went on leave and let us know a few days later through email he was no longer with the company. Now we're sitting here without a manager not sure if he was fired, laid off, or just left on his own. Frankly, he wasn't a great guy so I don't really care about him, but it'd be good to know if it's a sign of something to come for my team.


Rumor has it…

For the past week and for 1 more week, there is a police officer as part of the security team at one of the buildings, and 5 or 6 front row parking spots blocked off/reserved for certain employees impacted in this incident. (Although they seem to not be coming into office since most are empty). Rumor has it that an employee was fired on 6/12 and that employee made threats to other employees and/ management. Anyone have insights to what actually happened?


What if..

What if I put in for vsp and got denied because boss felt like saying no. Another round of layoffs come and there’s no enhanced benefit but now I really get laid off. I got sc--wed out of the first one because somebody decided not to approve me. Can’t I fight to get that since I volunteered for it in the first place?


Verizon Loyalty Program - Now that's an Oxymoron

You have already branded yourself Verizon - sleazy, money grubbing sociopaths. This is regarding every person involved in firing people who did deserve it. Just following orders is NOT an excuse. Find another job instead of enabling grifters.


No, you're not safe

If you are at FIS, just assume you are on the chopping block no matter what. Good performance, glowing reviews, even being tight with your manager, none of it matters. You are a number in a spreadsheet and the moment it gets too high for comfort, they will show you the door. Better to accept that now than get blindsided later.


No warning

People were let go with no warning. None. That's the scariest part of this whole thing to me. If there had been at least some indicator, something. But being a high performer and one of the most experienced people there, only to have the rug pulled out from under you like that... I feel so bad for them.


Fire these folks!

If you’ve ever met the team leads of Home Delivery such Fax or Document Management team, they should lay them off. Never i have ever seen team tech leads do absolutely nothing in the office, finding ways to avoid work as well as tormenting employees in front of management to show how powerful they are. No wonder Home Delivery is losing funding. You guys are paying employees to sit around and do nothing


Can I get fired for going on a job interview?

My manager found out I've been job hunting and that I took some time to go to a job interview (side note, I was an id--t - do not tell your coworkers anything, they'll use it to their advantage in a second). How sc--wed am I? If the interview went well I wouldn't have cared, but it didn't, so as of now, I have no backup.


This makes no sense

I'm the only person cut from my entire group, and when I asked my manager why, he couldn't give me an answer. He told me I was a top performer, that my skills were exactly what the project needed, and that the project itself is a priority. None of it adds up, and I don't understand why this happened.


Director was trained how to layoff employee, next round will be YOU

Senior Director: Its not about performance that we lay you off.
Me: ok.....
Senior Director: Is there anything we can help you?
Me: Yes, don't lay me off...... (I just be nice and didn't say that)

After 20 years..... this is the conversation i got. Its so fake and insincere.....


File complaints with USCIS against H1B

It’s a fraud, Wellsfargo firing American at the same time hiring H1B. This is not legit.

File complaints: https://www.uscis.gov/report-fraud/uscis-tip-form
