3/3

To add to my below comment, I feel like all these post just tease me. I get my hopes up only to be let down time and time again. Its depressing.
Please be me, I've been waiting so long now fully remote, non-hub.
The entire purpose is the new sterilized style of remodeled office spaces is prepare them for the next occupants, not for you.
@hp
Actually I think Ohio has much better talent pool than Iowa.
Of course, CS will wait until just before the next earnings report—March 12, 2026—to announce the Armageddon layoffs. Perfect timing to blame the carnage on AI, because nothing says "strategic innovation" like firing 1,500 people and calling it a "cost optimization." Meanwhile, they’re hiring a bunch of new managers from JPM, all relocated to Ohio—because nothing screams "future of banking" like moving from one midwestern graveyard to another. Will Ohio be the next Des Moines? Or just the final stop (wreck?) on Wells Fargo’s IT train? If AI really does lead to dystopia, at least we can regen Crosby, Sills, Nash’s Ohio. What a time to be alive.

With the millions they've spent remodeling (ruining) JC in Des Moines, it's not going away anytime soon.
@gz who says they can only do 1500 max?
They do way more than that per month
They can only do 1000 to 1500 maximum. They already doing that from January 2026
Many highly compensated managers here, hopefully we’ll get a golden parachute.
Des Moines will be hit hard. That shithole should be gone within a year.
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
This is the biggest since troglodyte announced the last biggest one 2 weeks back
Anyone see a deck for layoffs Concord?
Are there move information about what’s coming on 3/3 or Armageddon is all that is available!
I thought it was End of Days level and not Armageddon level?
Some companies like Goldman have a one-and-done layoff cycle. Take everyone into a conference room and fire em at once. At least the survivors know there are no more layoffs and can get bacl to work. This company does it every other week, to stretch out 600 million in severance payments a quarter, having everyone using the Copilot for resumes instead of work. Well done, C suite, well done.
For those in the know, is this spread around all the LOBs or concentrated in specific areas?
I've seen a deck that eliminated my job as the go-forward solution for my area. I humbly request that the company hurry up and give me the 14 months of a good time that they keep threatening me with.
Good, bring it on!
@ab. You are projecting saying the op is stressing people out. Maybe a good number read op message with eager hope to be on the first on the list.
The victims aren't making things any worse than the execs already are, by acknowledging reality.
Not a popular opinion I suspect, but maybe stop making such a big deal over and trying to building up any given week of lay offs. For any employee any round of layoffs is either nothing (because it didn't get them) or it is a personal Armageddon (because it did). We have no control over it. All you are doing is stressing yourself or others out. You are making the conditions of working here worse - the same thing we all decry senior leadership for doing.
Yup.
Managers got the notice a week or so ago. I suppose they do this way, letting the news bleed out, because they hate productivity and morale. Everyone knows ots coming and freezes in place. Why work?
