#replacement

It seemed like the appropriate phrase to start the week.

Or every week.

Stock up on ginger ale or the electrolyte replacement of your choice whichever keeps you hydrated and soothed under pressure/distress.

Show up for yourself most of all then you can put your head down with a clear conscience. Be present for the ones that you love.

And nobody is doing anything about this.

This is horrible for the country and every single one of us, in progress at Solventum right now just like in 1000s of companies across the country.

I am unsure why everyone is so blind and we are selling our souls.

Unless you’re Clay Magouyrk, Mike Sicilia, or have a personal connection to them, no one here is safe. Everyone is replaceable!

And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can start looking for a new home. You’ll be far happier somewhere that actually values you.

I really enjoy training my replacements. Can't wait to see our plants run by engineers half a world away. Another short-sighted idea by "double our profits" Darren.

The latest in bonkers, after many similar people decisions ... Global , and primary census based product and apps are going to shutdown/replaced by a substandard version of mobile and pc app being marketed internally by technology and engineering as the next big thing. Supposedly this was going to be launched in the end of 2025 but delays and incomplete knowhow across domains has pushed it back repeatedly. Even now, it's incomplete and does not match the previous solution, atleast from Product perspective. But they have let go of every SME and will just roll with whatever... Clients to start moving with competitors soon, botched up long established solution, dissolution imminent.

Some of the employees that were recently laid off due to “AI” are being replaced by previous DISH employees in Boulder with no AI experience and a new title at Qualcomm. Sounds like the new CIO is bringing in ex-DISH employees to replace perfectly good San Diego employees.

Because I sure as he-l won't.

Nothing says ‘role eliminated’ like replacing it. Got the news today, Director+ leadership cuts still rolling (not PS/tech dev outsourcing) but yet intend to replace!

FIS is replacing US employees with H1B visa holders.

I realize this site is a minute fraction of total active employee count, but I have an idea...

Wells needs to have a replacement pool. It would be made-up of laid-off people who are willing to return and swap-in for one of the worthless, retained people Wells truly needs to get rid of.

You would return with years of service, future severance based on prior years of service, prior earned annual PTO days, 401k matching, etc. Salary would be negotiable. People who actually want to work and who are truly competent,

I think I need to pitch this to Wells.

Expecting nothing better than to be replaced is a great motivating force. Being made to train your replacement adds a special flair to feeling fantastic about losing your job.

It's happening to more and more people on my team. I have no idea what I'd do in that position, but it just feels so cruel and demeaning.

Any information on what is replacing stock Together? For certain, the stock grants are going away but don’t know the replacement yet….
We are getting close to announcement time, surely some insider information is being floated?

I am having a hard time understanding some of the layoffs. Is it just targeting highly compensated people, and replacing them with cheaper, less qualified labor? Not quite sure how G plans to pull this one off.

Will AI replace IT first? Numerous IT professionals in my office express skepticism, claiming that AI is not as effective as it is said to be. I have utilized AI to resolve various IT issues/challenges.

SJ is the biggest liabilty for Pearson. Future of Pearson revolves around her being replaced by a leader who respects and values staff.

i’ve been reading about people being forced to train their replacements for at least a decade, but i never thought i’d end up working for a company that does it. when i started here a few years back it felt like there was a real culture of appreciation and opportunity.

this practice is disgusting and should be outright outlawed. no one should lose severance for refusing to take on something so unfair, unethical, and demeaning. severance should acknowledge past effort, not serve as blackmail to make sure an unqualified replacement can get by.

i had to go through multiple interviews to prove my skills just to get this job, and once hired, i barely got any real training.

as they cycle through teams, many can only document so much because creativity is often needed to solve problems. writing stepbystep instructions for every situation isn’t realistic. VZ also seems blind to how much these off-shore things exaggerate the abilities of their workers....sometimes outright fabricating them.

they rely on laid-off employees to cover that up by writing detailed guides. if they want to use a bargain-bin workforce, that’s their choice, but they shouldn’t expect people like that to be top-tier or capable in a crisis and we know how often we have them and there is more coming.

EMC was infamous for this in the 80s and 90s. SMH.

Optum layoffs OCTOBER16....Any tea?

I need this job. My family relies on me. I can't afford to lose it right now. The fact that I have a one in five chance to be laid off is nauseating. And to think this is all because they don't care about us and want to replace us with cheaper workers overseas. I just hope they realize sooner rather than later that cheaper is cheaper for a reason.

A person from another team has been assigned to do things I’ve already been handling. Not all of them, but everything related to my work. It wasn’t extra work I needed help with, and it’s not someone I’ve ever worked with before. I’m honestly lost on why this is happening, and the only thing I can think of is that I’m about to be let go. Am I wrong?

You heard it here first. Don't get why people haven't already spilled it.

Facilities teams all over about to get gutted, engineers and techs will all get replaced with green badges. Lots of badge flipping around Christmas.

Good luck running a factory without a facility team.

With Rick leaving, any insight into how his replacement might make changes? The Financial Crimes group is such a disaster. I bet some of the execs will be out the door shortly.

Hey folks,
There is a difference between anonymous and confidential.
People are being called out for their opinions on the survey.
Do not participate in Glint surveys anymore .
BTW... I’ve never had a face to face one on one. Another total waste of time.
The problem Nordstrom created...
No one is being trained... because they believe anyone can do your job, and you are disposable ... So we receive wages accordingly with no raises.
OBTW... inflation is crippling your loyal workers. The replacements for those skilled workers are people who should have never been hired, but are never trained.
You are not investing in your employees...
And treating them like....

Ryan noted 20-25% but that's an average arcoss the company. IT layoffs will be a much are higher %. If you are in certain groups then you've already seen the contracts being lined up for contractors to replace entire groups and even orgs IT.

The only question is how much will happen in November or how many will be asked to stay longer to train their replacements. Remember the CEP team is now working through 2026.

They are so critical they can't be replaced...oh wait, they can and will be replaced.

Union mentality is the gift that keeps on giving.

How quickly will replacement hiring begin after this layoff cycle? What business function will begin hiring first?

they've taken away all of my onshore colleague's work and now are telling us if we don't hit certain performance metrics we will be fired. they told us we aren't to produce any work; that's for offshore to do. and now they're tracking our productivity. couldn't be more transparent that this is their way to fire us without severance or unemployment. my team is made up of smart people. people with degrees. they were told if they studied and got degrees in valuable knowledge work the US needs they could find decent jobs. these people have families they're support.

now we have been replaced by an administrative caste one rung above us who isn't accountable to anyone in this country. many of them have false credentials. all of the money paid to employees of this company that would have circulated in the US system is being removed and sent overseas. you have been replaced. this country is a fu--ing joke and we'll just sit here and take it. honestly if that's how we're going to respond we deserve it. we all deserve health insurance tied to employment. we deserve to be replaced and have our position in society given away. we won't fight for it and of course nobody is going to fight for you. we'll su-k it up and take it like little bi--hes and kiss the feet of our new administrative overlords from overseas, send them our money and thank them for it. fu--ing pathetic

The company when hired 17 years ago promised a long-term career. I performed really well initially and began moving to different jobs every 1-2 years. I always felt as soon as I really understood and could add value they rotated me. Management told me I’m gaining exposure to all aspects of the business to be a future leader.

Now the company reduced my potential And I’m sure they want to replace me with a low cost employee in India.

I’ve started looking elsewhere but I’m not qualified because I’m a generalist and master of nothing. It’s like the 15 years of dedicated service were for nothing. My options are to stay knowing I have limited upside or take a pay cut and start all over.

people dont like using the sales chat cuz its slow, wrong half the time, and just makes more work instead of less... the data in it is kinda trash so the answers come out trash too... bosses keep pushing us to hit some random kpi even when we dont even need it that week... feels like were just trainning the thing to take our jobs one day and thats not cool...

Apart from reading off her AI generated slide shows with cartoon characters?

Everyone else has informative slides and are not reading off their slides, they're providing more depth to the information provided and showcasing how they're leading (or attempting to do literally anything). And then we have Sandy reading off her badly formatted slideshow that she pretends took a week to make when in reality it took ChatGPT all of 10 seconds to make.

Is she like an executive cheerleader? Like honestly.

Now that Mark got kicked out the door there's nobody to protect her role, she's probably in line to get fired and replaced with a person who actually does something.

I'm thinking my days here are numbered for sure, there are some signification indications about it and I would like not to go into details about it...

Anyhow I already have a #gold #replacement job lined up.

I just don't want to leave before I know for sure if severance is or isn't an option. My question is, will Wells Fargo know if I start working just days after being laid off? Will that affect my severance - if I get one - in any way?
