#communication

Someone on Reddit said that they tried calling Avaya Sales, and for the last 5 hours, everything is going to VM, and no one is calling back.

are the sending 15mins impromptu meetings or sending early morning?

Word is that Anthropic Claude has successfully hacked Oracle DB, Internet Explorer and Outlook codes with ease. Dinosaur Bones are vulnerable.

Corporate Messaging to start by end of the week.

After the layoffs rounds how the daily routine looks like especially regarding direct mngr? Do you still have as usual 1:1? Are the layoff questions brought up on th meetings or mgnrs behave like nothing happened?

As of today’s end, our department has still not received any communication from leadership regarding compensation. The ongoing lack of clear leadership and consistent communication continues to be our department’s most significant concern.

Can someone post the full email?

Careerminds research highlights widespread issues with how companies handle layoffs. Many employees first learn about job cuts through workplace gossip. Only a quarter of laid-off staff felt leadership was transparent about the reasons. Poor communication significantly damages trust among both departing and remaining employees. Half of remaining staff considered leaving their jobs due to these communication failures.

Seeing updates about the technology the company will be using, but nothing about when people will receive updates about jobs or locations. Isn’t closing in 2 weeks? The communication on this from leadership is completely lacking.

Are all the questions being blocked? Nothing is coming through.

Is anyone aware of layoffs that are upcoming for enterprise imaging? There was an org restructure (as there always is) so many of us are moving under a diff leadership structure. There have also been requests to provide more info on our roles and what we are doing on a day to day basis.

Stop scaring people for no good reason. When layoffs continue, we'll all know it.

Can we stop with the PAC emails? Unless they are advocating changing laws for fewer layoffs.

What's happening with HPE? One week something is fine, the next week it’s not allowed anymore. We only find out after the fact when someone flags it. For the past year I've felt like I'm always one step behind something we weren't even notified changed. How are we supposed to work like this?

We spend a lot of time discussing what needs to be done. Then we discuss it again. And again. Meanwhile, the actual work barely moves. When did we turn into a company where every single thing has to be discussed into oblivion before anything can be done?

There are things that clearly aren’t working, but no one says it directly. Instead, we just keep adjusting around them. It feels like everyone sees it, but no one wants to be the one to call it out. So it just continues. Because that's so much better and productive than actually fixing the issue, right?

Managers, were you actually blindsided or is that just the line?

Does anyone know why best of belk is so hush hush.??

I wonder how many in leadership positions read these topics and comments? Maybe they ignore it all as just annoying noise.

RYAM held a company wide meeting on Wednesday April 15th titled “RYAM Uplift” with goal of uplifting employees hearts and minds. The meeting quickly jumped off the rails when it was clear that leadership had no plans on actually taking questions via the provided Slido app. Employees grew concerned over the poor leadership under former CEO DeLyle Bloomquist who was outwardly hostile to employees on numerous occasions. Questions around the third in a string of fires at RYAM largest facility in Jesup, GA was a hot topic as it impacted spending coming out of their annual outage. Overall sentiment among employees is that leadership is out of touch with employees at the plant levels.

From Preauth... what are you all hearing? We are being ignored and we have no clue whats coming. Give us a heads up please. 13 years..

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

Going into HR direct and ADP link, there’s no payslip posted for tomorrow’s 4-17-26 pay period. I sure hope everyone gets paid.

Once this was a company employees would be proud of working for but now it’s just a shadow of its former self.
We career from one RIF to the next whilst being told by disingenuous leaders that AI will take care of everything.
Work from the office, no work from home as you won’t have an office. Use google, no Microsoft…no Google etc etc.
There is a total lack of honesty or transparency from leaders. They are all running scared and frantically trying to get on the “relevance” lifeboat. Forget “women and children first”…these guys are cowards only interested in covering their own backs and surviving.
No strategy, no communication, just chaos.

I’m sure there are numerous, but the 360 app team is a total mystery to me. No one responds to emails or messages. It’s impossible to get any answers to XDA or FMP. I am starting to think none of them know the programs and aren’t able to answer questions.

What are the “critical employee meetings” scheduled for apr 15.? Chat and call channels will have periods of unavailability

TMO already partners with SpaceX. Not sure how ATT will respond but I’m certain VZ will once again fail, as they did with the iPhone years ago. Leaders will tell us it’s nothing to worry about and use word salad and elaborate slide decks to propagandize their message. Some will clap and take photos in a red chair while writing on a post it note. The rest of us will patiently wait for our impending severance.

In email or mail?

In all seriousness, do we have a ballpark on when the update will be released about September onwards for the Connect Weeks schedule? Thanks!

Anyone else dealing with a manager who treats information like it’s classified? Getting even the simplest thing feels like pulling teeth. At this point, I’m losing more time chasing answers than actually doing the work.

What's going on with mangers suddenly no longer providing any recognition even when you do extra work that's not even yours? My boss sent a "thumbs up" emoji on a Slack message last Thursday, and that's the closest I've gotten to a thank you since last year.

Hearing rumors that the notice period has been reduced from 60 days to 30 days. No official update from Aramco on this however. Can anyone confirm? Has there been an official communication? Does it apply to all expats/Grade codes?

If this reflects a change to contract, doesn't this need to be communicated?

The word FULL STOP! You can not make your point any other way FULL STOP. Blah blah FULL STOP. Do you use an ! after that too? FULL STOP

Let’s face it - senior management have their own agenda, and what staff actually want or need rarely makes the cut, especially if it costs money. Clients don’t want to hear they’ve bought into something that isn’t working, and somewhere along the line, feedback just stops going up the chain. I think it's at my line manager, who's also given up.

Feels like most of us end up posting here just to check we’re not the only ones seeing it this way. The company is too big. It will continue to lumber on quietly shedding staff until there's nobody left. It could take a while!

My manager cancelled our last two one on ones with no reason. Today I realized my manager cancelled the entire series. With the impending layoffs, should I be concerned I’m on the list?

I resigned two months ago for a new opportunity and I was really nervous about how it would feel to leave Target. Losing “opportunity”, the chance to work on things at Target scale, the benefits of Target’s brand on my resume.

Honestly, all of those concerns faded a few days in to my new position. Not because my new job is just like Target, but because I didn’t realize how poor the leadership truly is at Target until I worked with people who get along with one another and understand the goal of their work.

People have been welcoming and collaborative. I haven’t been stonewalled in a turf war. Communication is simple and clear. I get what we’re doing and so does everyone else.

The compensation is also par and so is my opportunity.

If you feel like target isn’t firing on all cylinders for you, leave. There are jobs out there.

I am getting ready to give my notice because of the new WPE changes. But now I’m hearing they are not going to happen. Does anyone have reliable information?

The UK's largest police force has awarded DXC Technology a contract worth up to £1 billion to develop and run a host of business process outsourcing services – including building a new Oracle ERP system.

The management said UK was doing not so good so no no payrises, and then a few days later they announce a $1.4 billion deal.
