What do we think the size of the pre Christmas layoffs will be ? It seems like the top ones are early in the year and mid year , or have they also hit it hard before Christmas to avoid paying the match ?
Exhausted and demoralized
My team has been shrinking for two years straight, and none of the key roles were ever backfilled. At this point, I can’t even remember the last time I left at the official end of the day. The only thing keeping us going is that my teammates are... — read more
Anyone else doing “time trials” right now?

Call your local news
Most "news" organs aren't covering what's happening at WF. Maybe if people called their local newspaper and TV news stations, they would start reporting on WF's "management" approach.

Beware! The language in the severance plan is designed to silence you and whatever you have suffered under the WF new "management" style. Its all designed to cover up what they are doing and how they are doing it. Getting rid of long-term, loyal... — read more
Why do they even pretend this is all because of AI?
Cuts are about squeezing out extra profit, plus a hefty dose of offshoring. They’ll hand us some clunky AI tool we have to babysit like a toddler, and we’ll spend half our time double-checking hallucinations and bad outputs. Yet they’ll still expect... — read more

Fake job postings
