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.
Future Fired
Has anyone else been future fired? At least one of us will be shown the door in October.
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?
Anyone get a mysterious meeting for next week yet?
Wondering when I should start looking out. Waiting for the layoff meeting is always a good time!
Fired panos and Rosenberg
But why not Ajay?!
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.
Terrified
I was hired a few weeks before the hiring freeze and haven’t built up a cushion to survive off of yet. I just graduated and moved here for the job. I’ll be royally sc--wed if I get cut whenever they start doing actual layoffs 😬
fired !
reorganization fired the first day !
Is there an HR Blacklist?
Former employee here. Just tried applying for a position that I’m overly qualified for and didn’t even get a call back. I’ve heard rumors of former employees being blacklisted, but does anyone have any proof?
Laid off
Today I and several other people in Citi Frad division were laid off as well as representatives in Quality. The average tenure of those dismissed was 4 yrs or over. It is devastating and I’m just still in shock.
Hofstra University just fired most of its advancement team
all gift officers were given notice yesterday
Drory Fired
The head of tragedy. The sultan of swirl. The iron lung. Fired.
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
Is there any truth to the June 30 layoff rumor?
That's the official termination date for people cut back in March. So is this a mix-up, or is another round really coming that soon? More layoffs are inevitable, I just want to know if another bloodbath is right around the corner.
Scott Pelley fired from 60 Minutes

Scott Pelley Out !
long time veteran journalist Scott Pelley has been fired by a set of incompetent baffoons at CBS. The ? is now: which institution will last longer: 60 Minutes, Mutual of America, or the Titanic ?
Two people fired
In my org, two people were shown the door yesterday. It wasn't a layoff but outright firing. This is after another person was fired a few months ago. I won't lie, the whole thing is making me very nervous. Is this something that's been happening more lately throughout the company?
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.
Laid Off
Get ready. The layoffs are happening.
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.....
Oracle SK has started

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
“The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant, employer-sponsored visa for foreign professionals in "specialty occupations" requiring at least a bachelor’s degree to address labor shortage”
Intuit su-ks
Intuit fires people due to Covid. Intuit fires people due to AI. Intuit fires people silently from time to time. Intuit only cares about $.
Suspicion
Not to sound like a person‘s paranoid… But as they say, if it’s true, you’re not paranoid: has anybody posted anything on this site and then found out and fired?
May14- Are there fresh round of layoffs today
I m hearing there was another round today .. is it true ?
Just heard one of my teammates was fired yesterday
He wasn't laid off, he was fired. Nobody seems to know why, and I honestly can't think of a single thing that could have caused it. He's (well, was) one of our hardest workers. Is this something we should now be scared of as well? Random firings for no good reason?
Termination Report
Is there a way to tell if someone got fired on the term report?
Mainframe Roles
Any mainframe developers affected in this layoff?
Fired for coffee badging
My colleague was fired today, apparently she was coming into the office 4 days a week but only stayed for 5-10 minutes..
Not sure how they noticed but watch out.
