And who would have the means and motive?

I have a feeling the real thing is yet to take place.

I see many Managers/GCLs, TLs are on PTO today, tomorrow and Monday what’s the logic behind it?

The article link posted here says a couple of hundred, but other comments here say up to 4,000. Wow! That’s quite a spread. I would think if it’s really in the thousands the company would have to mention it to the media?

Post recently deleted on purchasing a third Gulf Coast refinery and selling off smaller Mid Con refineries. Go back to January thread on the following post: Something is on the Refining Horizon.. Where there is smoke, there is fire.

earnings call is still may 13. that hasn't changed.

but g2's thing on may 21 canceled, beyond the numbers moved into that timeslot, and a beat scheduled for the original timeslot of beyond the numbers on the same day now? they're doing a beat and beyond the numbers back to back?

Anyone have any realistic estimates of how many will be impacted by the alleged layoffs this week?

Especially the 50+ crowd. Then maybe a few slackers. But management/leadership titles? Absolutely safe.

Sounds like she was pushed out.

Would they make them axe people on their team first, then they are cut? lol I want to be in those meetings

Does anyone have intel on whether there will be layoffs in the School group in the near future?

There’s no way fidelity will layoff a significant portion of the staff. Abby doesn’t want to let her friends go.

The tech teams might be impacted, but with no vbo, how likely is it that there will be layoffs.

That would be insane. Has any new info surfaced? Or will we find out more maybe tomorrow?

Suffolk supervisor going on interview for spectrum, they know what’s coming

I don’t think there’ll be massive layoffs. Big ones are in the news like Meta dumping 8000. This is not a big RIF. My dept is barely hanging on with work we’re so slammed, so there’s no way there’s cuts. Not at the level going on here with speculation.

Likely rural centers as the goal seems to be picking up B2C packages near big city warehouses and not spread out residential deliveries. However every other package delivery company is after this same easy money. Least work gets more dollars.

Mark this date-May 4,2026 It's going to happen

People have been mentioning every single org that comes to their mind. Does anyone know something specific?

'Under the August 2025 deal, the Trump administration agreed to purchase 433.3 million Intel shares at $20.47 per share, equal to about a 9.9% stake, valued at around $8.9 billion, funded largely by previously awarded but unpaid CHIPS Act and Secure Enclave grants.

According to Bloomberg, those 433.3 million Intel shares owned by taxpayers are now worth a staggering $36 billion, netting taxpayers a $27 billion paper gain.'

funded by yet again US debt
a paper gain
expect more layoffs since the improvement was fake

How and when is the May Beat scheduled. It's typically scheduled about a month out and we're already at the end of April without that. If we get an invite in a few days for one at the end of May, you can probably assume that nothing super dramatic is planned in May. If it comes out late and is a short notice beat scheduled for just after earnings you might go hmmmmm even though nothing is certain. This is not a prediction. It's just something to watch for.

Since not enough of you volunteered to ensure that we can continue to receive SLT and EC level bonuses we are gong to let go the volunteers that we determine necessary and e have a separate list that we will be letting people go from. We will be reducing the total headcount by 15%

Don’t worry though we are seeing improved margins and orders coming in form customers. Are marketing efforts are starting to seeped up and take off and the future is bright for those whom are remaining

So much for all the BS rumors about selling.

Thoughts?

July is after June. Oh and this is my daily proclamation that Fraud will have layoffs in the next quarter- so in case it does happen I can come back and say I was right. - my name is Ms. Cleo “Call me now”

HR and execs behind closed doors...

Hmm...

Private equity is indeed ruthless, and Mr. SP won't go away.

When Ford issues press releases like this and the Freep publishes them as “news” and doesn’t put them behind the paywall something bad is brewing. When Ford is sending out all kinds of happy press releases it’s a warning sign.

So are we really getting hit hard again or it just another speculation. I wish I could understand how they’re all still looking to cut down when we’re already thin. Most of our areas are the sizes of what two people used to handle. Are we going to a record of 4 orbits to 1 FE? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised NA/SP get combined as 1 and have them handle 3 orbits.

Looks like SBA is beating Crown to the punch by exploring a sale.

March preliminary numbers are coming out soon. Not going to be a surprise that number is negative and then after that they’re going to announce some more layoffs before the earnings call. Need to make more headway if the market is going to react. Anyone heard anything?

Anyone want to take a guess at who will take control after the company is run into the ground?

Or is it just speculation?

Based in Europe in the Product org. We were told this week that by July 1st they will have the reorg pretty much done and seems like layoffs are coming due to the TAM.
What's other orgs hearing and what region are you in?
