Only office = promotion policy

So ridiculous. They are saying no directors except in Westlake or maybe Lone Tree. Even 59 PLs are getting warned during the interview process that they will have to get some sort of difficult approval. Do they genuinely expect everyone to move to those fiery city hellholes for this job? Cuz nope.
What about the offices THEY closed, like St Louis, New Jersey and Maryland? What about smaller offices like Chicago, Ann Arbor, Raleigh? And what about disability exceptions? If promotions are lost because of this policy, the lawsuits will be massive.


Someone’s finally taking the Stank to court over his remat

A former director is suing the company for age discrimination related to the RTO and relocation BS. She specifically cites Stankey’s remarks in 2023 about the employee demographics skewing too old. Too much to ask first but boy would it be awesome if they got nailed for this!


Seeking recommendations for a good employment lawyer

After today’s HR email eliminating NRE status (which I just achieved this year), and being a CL 29, where each PA continues to be the Hunger Games, I feel I need to have the name of a good lawyer in my back pocket… just in case….

1) Who can recommend a strong employment law firm?
2) Does anyone know of successful employment law cases against EM (specifics beyond hearsay)?


Sky Auto Dealerships Cut Staff Amid Lawsuits

Iowa reported 83 total layoffs in March. Car dealerships Sky Chevrolet and Sky Auto Mall accounted for 76 job losses. These dealerships are located in Newhall and Center Point.

Jury verdict - fired in retaliation

A Manhattan federal jury on Monday awarded $8.4 million to a New York University professor and former Cognizant Technology Solutions employee who claimed he was fired in retaliation for alleging the information technology company engaged in systematic hiring bias.

. . .

Jean-Claude Franchitti said he was fired in 2016 from a $350,000-a-year job after a decade at New Jersey-based Cognizant. He claimed it was retaliation for asking questions about the company's alleged bias toward hiring workers from India as part of a "cheap labor" profit model.

The award for Franchitti consisted of $4.2 million in back pay, or lost wages, and $4.2 million in punitive damages. The jury declined to award compensation for front pay, or future earnings, or for an emotional distress claim.

The trial revealed a dearth of written communications from Franchitti complaining about Cognizant's alleged strategy to keep a cheap labor pipeline open. His lawyers said Franchitti kept concerns verbal because he knew he was walking a "fine line" and wanted to find fixes diplomatically.

Franchitti is pleased with the verdict, his lawyer, Daniel Kotchen, told Law360 via email.

"The jury sent a strong message that violating employees' rights will not be tolerated," he said.


Bring on the lawsuits.

For every American laid off and on boarding H1Bs at the same time.

Every H1B visa holder and Green card petitioner's visa and applications need to be cancelled immediately.

If not for yourself, this needs to be the done for the younger unemployed or recently graduated americans. Enough of this sh-t.


Lawsuits are fair game!

If you are laid off, negotiate your severance. Ask for 10 times your severance and settle for 5 times if you can get. Tell the reason to them while negotiating - discrimination based on national origin. H1-B workers are still employed, I am being laid off because I am American.


Epstein lawsuit

Bank of America has reached a $72.5m (£54.6m) settlement in a lawsuit brought on behalf of victims of Jeffrey Epstein, who had accused the bank of facilitating his s-x trafficking operation.

The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in October by a Florida woman who says she was abused by Epstein "on at least 100 occasions" between 2011 and 2019 and held two accounts at Bank of America at the direction of his business team.

It alleged that the bank had "a plethora of information regarding Epstein's s-x trafficking operation but chose profit over protecting the victims".

Express Scripts sued for racketeering

In February 2026, Express Scripts was hit with a racketeering class action lawsuit alleging it used a Swiss company to disguise billions of dollars in kickbacks. The lawsuit claims this scheme diverted rebates meant for clients, violating federal racketeering laws (RICO) and inflating dr-g costs.

I hope they take Meta to the cleaners

Layoffs at Meta last year allegedly targeted older workers at higher rates, according to a new lawsuit. Former Meta Senior Director of Monetization Analytics, Nicolas Franchet, who worked at the company for 13 years, claims he was unfairly laid off because of his age.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing

Gainwell makes all of these claims that it prevents fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicaid world. Yet Gainwell are the ones committing the fraud. Gainwell is stealing from the states. And now more lawsuits around Gainwell committing fraud. When will the states wise up and stop buying snake oil from Gainwell?


The S.S. Centerwell

With all the changes we are experiencing in CW that don't make logical sense, the wrong people being let go while others get placed in vague non value roles, I wonder if our leader Sanjay has settled his lawsuit with his last company so he can focus and earn all that salary he is getting here. The lawsuit makes claims that are concerning and I really hope we don't have a similar experience here. I'm sure he is an honest and upstanding guy and it was all a misunderstanding. I mean, the way he just smiles and has talked about a brighter future for the last couple of years I am sure they are wrong. Sure we have been hearing it for a couple years and just need a couple more years to see it. It's a 4 year plan. Similar to a vesting schedule.


New Gainwell Contract Fraud lawsuit

This was just filed in California and it fits exactly what everyone here is talking about with Billing Fraud and stealing from the states.

The lawyers are accusing Gainwell of illegally billing and defrauding the state clients.
The lawsuit said Gainwell fired a manager because of “her complaints to
management about two issues: (1) Gainwell’s illegal practice of billing out resources/employees across multiple contracts and (2) Gainwell’s requirement that employees work overtime, bill the client, but not pay the employees.

Gainwell’s Illegal Billing Practices

"Multiple leadership calls alleged that Gainwell could not have
resources assigned to one contract work on other contracts. Ms. Smith was turning everybody on the Denti-Cal account into double-billable resources by also assigning them onto other contracts. Ms. Smith instructed BLANK and others to bill certain employees across multiple projects. Ms. BLANK repeatedly told her that was not allowed, was illegal, and violates the contracts. Gainwell’s contracts
with its customers expressly prohibit this type of double-dipping. Gainwell was prohibited from using an employee on other accounts when this employee was fully committed to working on other projects."

If you work in California, here are the lawyers suing Gainwell for fraud: BLAIR & RAMIREZ LLP


More Mike Katz Lies

Mike Katz, brought up in the Mike Sievert school of lies and bullsh-t, likes to talk a big game on stage about how worried our competitors are about us, but he has failed to mention that:

  1. AT&T won their appeal against T-Mobile for deceptive advertising claims, claiming that our services were so much cheaper than our competitors, and T-Mobile was told to discontinue these adds.
  2. AT&T won their appeal to the NARB against T-Mobile for its deceptive advertising claims related to T-Satellite and T-Mobile was told to modify or discontinue these ads.
  3. T-Mobile is going to lose the lawsuit with AT&T related to "Easy Switch," as this is obviously illegal, and were the roles reversed, we would definitely be suing them.
  4. T-Mobile is no different than any of its competitors. It is not unique or interesting in any way and their ads SU-K! Someone should let that liar, Mike Katz know this.

It’s starting! Anyone hear about this?

Looks like the unlawful termination lawsuits are starting! If you’re on this site and feel, and can prove, unjustly performance, layoff or suspect a target on your back - DOCUMENT everything right now. If more of these cases pop up you’ll have employment law attorneys just waiting for more evidence.
(This case was listed as racially motivated but to me it looks like actions that many can probably relate to)

Teradata has gone AI First

Welcome to the "AI-First" masterclass, where our CPO and his merry band of visionaries have finally cracked the code: why pay for actual human expertise when you can just sprinkle some AI dust on the office and hope for a miracle? In this brilliant new company math, one prompt-wielder is magically expected to do the work of four seasoned professionals. It’s not a "layoff," everyone—it’s AI-powered efficiency optimization. Of course, the performance ratings are pure comedy; it’s a truly impressive feat to make KPIs impossible to achieve by simply moving them every time someone gets close. It seems the only thing "scaling" around here is the leadership's delusion that deep product context and institutional knowledge are "legacy baggage" that can be replaced by a stochastic parrot that doesn't even understand the roadmap.

I’m sure they’ll have a fantastic realization right around the time the production server catches fire because the code checked in by an "elite" hire who doesn't know the internals couldn't scale, and the IIM Product Manager’s slide deck isn't enough to rescue the business. There won't be anyone left who remembers how the system actually talks to itself, but hey, at least the PowerPoint decks looked sleek, right? It is incredibly draining to watch a leadership team systematically dismantle the very infrastructure keeping the company afloat, like watching a captain celebrate "weight reduction" while tossing the lifeboats overboard.

By the way, there’s a fascinating trend where every new "Director and above" hire seems to share the same IIT (from India) pedigree, while any existing veteran—PM or Engineer—without those specific credentials is being ushered toward the exit via "carefully crafted" negative feedback and impossible goals. Yes there are a couple of hires who are not from here, but watch the broader trend. If it happened to one person, it’s an exception; when it happens across the board, it’s a blueprint for a lawsuit. What these visionaries don't realize is that the momentum for a class action is already building among those who’ve been pushed out. I’m just waiting for that legal spark to materialize so I can join in and sue the heck out of these "geniuses" for wrongful termination. I have every single Workday feedback and "Connect" saved to show exactly how the narrative suddenly shifted the moment the new regime walked in. See you in discovery.
