That’s how LR happen… share people.

Share what you know as Cisco is not sharing any LR news.

If you know something, say something and share with others.

One of the most difficult things about layoff days is hoping its one of your team members and not you. Some of us like the people on our team and wanting one of them to be impacted instead of yourself is a special kind of he-l. It feels selfish and awful but you know it will be so much worse if you are the one to get the call. Then you have survivors guilt.

Can we all please post the BUs where layoffs are happening? So we can keep track of it?

Time to ignore this site again ?

Does anyone know the impact on Optum health and Optum care this month?

Nooooo

McDermott Will & Schulte recently conducted layoffs. The firm separated from a small number of associates. These layoffs occurred across multiple practice areas. The firm stated it is aligning with shifting client needs. Layoffs reportedly extended beyond the New York office.

Let the circus begin. The Coterra name was removed already so priorities are clear

I spent close to two decades at Nielsen before my "demise." The one thing I could say for Nielsen during all those years was the company was NOT going to go under! Lol. So many companies out there hang on by a string - and that's some real stress for employees. I've been involved in the ad measurement game since the early 90s (even while in college). The demise of Nielsen has been predicted for years but never really happens. This article is prob the best I've read out there explaining why. Well worth the half hour read if you're still in the biz or just an outside over the hill observer like myself. Enjoy https://new.adotat.com/p/the-nielsen-bonfire-who-s-holding-the-match

just seeing this all now. can someone give me an outsider's perspective of what happened?

At the risk of the endless comments of, 'There is no merit', 'get back to work', etc. etc.

Does anyone know when merit will be announced this year? Two years ago was for June 1, last year I think it was end of June....any insight?

Approved by CEO, announced very soon (week or two). Target date to transition is Aug 2026.

and what is 100 in the app name? like 100th redesigned app?

Is it that bad here?

KY TN CA BON reports filed. We have to make sure these lousy incompetent employees are held accountable for their actions.

To Fidelity only, but are you all aware all the professionals in many huge multibillion dollar companies their employees are as pi---d off as we are for FT RTO?!. They have all stirred the hornets nest! No one is happy, if they successfully did their wfh massively productive employees have proven they can be trusted to wfh and be flexible with coming into an office. It just shows we are completely off their radar for loyalty or respect or for their MASSIVE PROFITS they’ve enjoyed. Maybe just maybe there’ll be infinitesimally small reductions in productivity by naturally being back in a distracting office and I hope they see an overall decline because of RTO. Nothing evil or malicious just a natural decline because being in a busy noisy office lends itself to more distractions. Be careful the powers that be you may be cutting off your nose to spite your face. WFH was a long planned situation and it worked fabulously well and they’re still unhappy with the workforce . Give the professional adults in your office the due respect they deserve. Allow flexibility.

I've heard there will be 1% layoffs with most groups exempt

Anyone hear any different ?

So the way script goes is,

It has been strategically decided that your position is being eliminated with broader interest towards shift in technology and geo political landscape.

the decision does not reflect your ability to fully function as an associate and the decision is strictly driven based on parameters beyond the control of global market shift.

You will be notified separately on how your shares, 401k will be vested.

We thank you for your contribution and all the best in your journey .

Is there an announcement date for this or is the news just slowly spreading quietly through each org? I haven’t seen anything in the news, but I guess that’s better for our sagging stock price. Or maybe not, you’d think cutting the fat around here would be good news to investors.

No one really seems to have any idea what’s going on. I think the stress is 100% based on the rto news

Because the other one got bumped down pretty far.

Centralized space for updates as they are released this week.

Firsthand information only
Include OU and location
No political content
Maintain a respectful and constructive tone - this is stressful for all

What’s the latest on the HR internal investigation?

The company took an incredible turn in 2015 when they hired the most inept HR people period...

B as a lead on investigations was a sham an tons of hairbrained outcomes.

Anyone has more info?

When are these layoffs supposed to happen? There have been posts about it here but nothing is going on. Fill us in!

Seeing a lot of layoffs from New Business Verticals, large number of DashMart management slashed.

It probably means more layoffs today.

Didn't Srini say last week this was done for a while?...

Will there be any more RIFs in Value?
