I’ve noticed that almost every day there’s another LinkedIn post from someone leaving Appian. What's got me is that many of them have been with the company for 4 or, 5, or even 10 years. At the same time, I keep seeing lots of Appian jobs being advertized. Im just trying to understand and wonder what’s happening. Is the company growing that quickly, or are these roles mainly replacing people who are leaving?

I’m asking because changing jobs is a big decision. If you’re happy where you are, you don’t want to leave for something that looks great on paper only to find it’s not what you expected. I’m not criticizing Appian or suggesting there’s a problem &I honestly donnno. I’m just interested in hearing from people who work there now or have left recently. Is this just normal, or is there something that’s driving so many people to move on?

Any news of redundancies in Manchester? I am in constant fear of losing my job, I feel like I'm walking on eggshell every day.

According to an internal email sent to employees by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, the division will cut 3,200 jobs by fiscal year 2027, with 1,600 of them eliminated on Monday. Sharma wrote that she understood that “a restructuring spread over an entire year creates additional difficulties, but not all the necessary changes can be made in one day.” She said the division would return to growth in 2027.

Didnt Biden tell us "learn to code"?

How short sighted.

ADP has been doing layoffs for over ten years now. Once longtime employees start making to much money the company starts cutting jobs and rehires for cheaper labor.

It flopped that quickly.

That's one in every five employees. 3,200 people losing their livelihoods because Microsoft fu---d up its gaming division beyond repair.

I keep hearing about more layoffs coming. I know it might be nothing, but I'd rather get my resume ready and be smart about things just in case.

I don't think we'll see another major round of layoffs anytime soon based on the pattern. But you should still keep your resume ready.

The worst decision of my career.

I made a promise to myself I'd be out of here months ago. I've tried everything but every offer I get pays way less than what I'm currently making. I'd take a cut but not that much.

I heard about someone getting an offer rescinded a week after they accepted it, no explanation given. Is that something that actually happens here often? How are supposed to backfill any positions if this is how candidates are treated?

You are being let go so that they can loop back around with the same job openings at much much lower pay with the reasoning that AI does the bulk of the decision making.
The 6 figure tech job will very soon be a thing of the past. This plan is unfolding right before your eyes now. Don’t let the lie you tell yourself of “maybe not me” manifest into a false sense of security. Your days a literally numbered on the calendar. Good luck everyone.

I've been job hunting for a while now, and I've gotten some offers, but nothing that matches what I make here. That's pretty concerning because Exxon hasn't been known for top-tier pay for years, yet the offers I'm getting are still noticeably lower. I knew the market had softened, but I didn't realize it was this bad.

How do I get a Sponsor? I just transferred to another team and I do not know any of the Supervisors like the others on the team do. I need a sponsor obviously to be able to get a ranking that will allow me to keep my job, so how do I go about getting a good sponsor?

Can we stop with the work visas for white collar jobs already? We can't even employ the college grads we have today. It's beyond obvious America has shot itself in the foot.

Many new positions over the last few months have came up doing the same exact jobs that are already in place. QMCA’s were implemented that replicate member advocates, case managers, and patient care advocates.. they are doing the same work leaving older employees with a smaller almost nonexistent caseload. These positions were implemented earlier this year and the last hiring wave ended in June. I feel like the new hires are safe. They are keeping the new positions and getting rid of the old.
