Whats on everyones cards lol

Would the all hands on Aug about layoff? or what

Anyone else get this invite for 3:30pm eastern? Is it an all clear or doom?

In the All Hands yesterday Niraj confirmed expansion of physical stores to the UK. They're actively seeking out their first location.

He also stated that they are committed to UK, Ireland and Canada with a strengthening market share in those regions.

Obviously there are no guarantees in business but it was a nice rebuke of that "Something Big Brewing" poster on 15th June.

Call is going on now. Add your impressions of the call. 🍿

I can't believe anyone is falling for the "I got notified today!!" bullsh-t. You literally saw a massive layoff in November.

Just a refresher - 15 minute meeting scheduled the morning of by your leader, over around 11, all hands for the survivors. No meeting invite goes out for the all hands, you just get a ping with the link (or at least that's how it went in my department).

Anyone who says they know they're getting laid off as early as today is a liar and nobody with any actual knowledge is going to post it here. You will know Thursday. Period.

After reading through the RMC business line thread, the upcoming Tech all staff call on Friday the 17th with its provide strategic updates and offer other important and timely news you need to know sounds ominous. They will probably give out the hubs that all remote employees will need to relocate into and talk about the second GCC coming up in Hyderabad. Anyone know anything?

HT crew what are your thoughts on day 1? Did you attend a launch “party”? I wish every townhall was like this? Oh wait. We have no money. Aerospace took it all.

Org has maybe 1 all-hands per year... only other times have been post RIF. Seems suspicious with the 7/16 rumor floating.

This is just the most abysmal technical leadership from a cio I've ever seen at any company in a long career. Every word out of his mouth is cringe. This dip sh-t makes even good leaders like jen or olimpia look useless. Who the f makes these slides for our leaders, I'd be embarrassed to present these as a b2.

Previous cio had his flaws too but current guy has zero redeeming characteristics. Look at how pepsico it is leading in AI now that he's gone.

Ftlog p&g ditch this clown

A pointless organisation (GVS)
Led by a pointless guy (JP)
An all hands that should have been an email. Cringe worthy fake enthusiasm, as a business do better no one cares about his favourite food, Greece or any statue

We deserve terrible leaders when we ask terrible questions

I'm curious what type of communication was sent to employees about the exit and new CEO. Hopefully they have an all hands and give reassurance.

if the new guy schedules an all-hands this week And includes at least some assurances that he’ll treat us like actual human beings, there’s a chance he could be a good leader.
If he doesn’t, then he’s an axe man who wants to get rid of as many of us as possible

Just curious how many people are asking hard questions which don't get answered. I know I keep posting things, but since they are difficult, they aren't answered even if no other questions are out there and there is time to answer them.

We all know that NetApp gatekeeps questions, I'm just wondering how much.

Similarly with Survey's everything is always in the 70's 80's but looking through the comments shows a vastly different picture.

They have been pushing team members in the most recent all hands meetings to take their PTO and time off. I have never heard such a push for this from leaders. I have been with the company over 7 years now, and there’s never been mention of taking your PTO like this.

So, take your PTO NOW before you lose it to this transition.

Bumping this for important info, the OP is @a2+1ksqvmzt4.

A new RIF appears to be in the works. VPs and above are holding all-hands meetings with Samantha at The Ridge in mid-July. With the ongoing Frontier integration, major reorganizations are expected, along with anticipated RIF activity beginning in Q4. This is expected to be a significant shake-up affecting employees across all bands.

Please provide what was discussed. Not all Wellmed folks were invited . Managers are nowhere to be found and my whole team is having computer issues.

Anyone else finding their All Hands from Director, VPs, SVPs keep getting cancelled for this month? Getting a bit worried here. Fusion. Must mean a re-org or more layoffs given how often it’s happening.

Anyone else on this complete waste of time call wondering if they will ever actually address the REAL concerns were having... (ie job security, layoffs, etc)

Get those coffee mugs ready. And please be onsite to enjoy the viewing parties in person.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

HR.

Did anyone else notice this? The session went on for about an hour. The recording is 40 minutes long.

Noticeably missing: some of Hamid's comments about corporate taxes and how to best handle the $40 billion windfall from spectrum sales, Hamid's comments about how the "rich guys" benefit from certain tax practices, and most notably, that kind of joke question about whether we'd see any part of that sale in our 401Ks (and Hamid's response that he'd have to see it in his 401K first).

Did anyone else notice this, or am I going crazy? Did they actively edit out the more tone-deaf and uncomfortable parts of that session?

Another round of Allstate Asks where Zulfi tells us that they want to know what we think, but then they complain (and target you) if we don't give them the answers that they want.

No wonder they are at Lenovo, Intel didn’t want them! All Hands was a sh-t show!

just had an all hands. VP announced that all leaders now must RTO 4 days/wk. hasn't trickled down to ICs yet but we all know it's a matter of time. and if you have been remote and don't live anywhere near an office? tough luck, I guess that means you can no longer serve your job requirements and will be let go.

this makes no sense because it's not like our entire team will be in the same office anyway even if we went full RTO. we'll all just be in different offices across the country.

Anything good come out? Unable to attend..

It didn't look like it on the all hands, lots of red but we will get there they say

All hands ? What is that deal with that

Any thoughts ? Are we hiring and returning to growth

This call started off with the highest of BS, and CB does think like an owner and his wallet is bulging because of it. The first 100 days has been a Sh** Show!!

What did we think of Meg this time round?

Wondering if there are any updates?

Will they come with some BS in the nxt tech all hands or will they just keep it real that they had no choice but to save cost…they been good at telling fancy stories

Thoughts on recent all hands and VS future with hopefully F2 and F3 operational?

Are there any specific performance review for leadership? Rooting for RIFing Girish?

Are these all hands just for him to ramble? He hasn't said anything important

A lot of baseless rumours have been posted here. You must be said after today's all hands

Hour long meeting full of insults. The idea that working in office will foster conversation and innovation is, as someone else has said, a fat load of kwap. There are SO many reasons for why this isn't going to go well on the 4th, but I don't want to beat a dead horse.

I'm just tired, man.

What is everyone's thoughts on today's Town Hall?

Email regarding Dans 1st quarter meeting 4/28. Hopefully some useful information. I’m not betting on it!

Just more buzz talk or yet more redundancies to come?
