It's a strategy only if you're absolutely unqualified for the role you're applying for. Those that don't want to be here will be shown the door first. You could stand a better chance of fulfilling the full redeployment period (what a joke of a name)... — read more 

Yeah add me to the list of people impacted by this because BCG and Chevron found a legal way to discriminate against experienced workers. The inverse is also happening. A colleague's role was bumped up 2PSG with the only change in the description... — read more 

How many layoffs have there been in the last few years? I've seen aot of people mention there have been quite a few. Morale seems to be very low company wide now days due to this and long hours. I can say its been very demoralizing and demotivating... — read more

Are ABUlayoffs finished?

What a swell idea to use Power BI - It's super slow and will only get worse when thousands more employees try to go in at once and search for jobs. It took well over 10 minutes to load something after only the first filter. Well done, HR and Sponsor... — read more

What’s your advice to get selected at the selection event?

This is going to sound harsh, but as a employee and a shareholder this needs to be discussed. Why are we saving low performers? I was told even though I was the most qualified candidate, I did not get selected for my primary choice job in R3. They... — read more

Noble here - just got an email stating we won’t be interviewing, but will be able to fill out a “talent profile template”...any one willing to share insights into this process? Seems like theatre.

So, if I get left standing when would I be eligible for Unemployment? Would it be October 30? Or December 14? Or would we not be eligible because of severance? This would be my first Rodeo so I am not sure how it works.
