Merry Christmas Eve to the best coworkers ever.

If it’s true that most at West End Center will be let go in 2025, anyone have any idea about the timings? 2 waves? Mid year? End of year?

If you see bottom engineers work hard, that’s because their pay is close to the upper engineers. As simple as that. Pay push you no one else could. Favoritism in action. Managers put more money on their favorite bottom engineers.

Am laid off just now

I’ll get laid off anyway.

They tried to make me leave from doing coding and I learned it on my own! F off 🤣

If you’re thinking of dodging layoffs by jumping to a different team, don’t kid yourself. This is basically the Hunger Games, and guess what, the leaderships is the only one who gets out alive. Everyone is getting fired.

Merry Xmas or Merry Axe-mas?

I still can’t understand how WF can lay off everyone & continue to do. Does that mean everyone had unnecessary jobs? Who is doing all their work? I mean they were doing work up until the day they were laid off.

Another day, another lawsuit! https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-sues-jpmorgan-chase-bank-of-america-and-wells-fargo-for-allowing-fraud-to-fester-on-zelle/

My favorite statement in this article "The greater the distance between the C.E.O.’s home and the company’s headquarters, the greater the performance gap."

I work in the tower in Winston Salem. Found out the lease for our specific floor was renewed on 10/1 and is renewed until 2030! I believe this to be a positive sign as I was worried about location change to Charolette being imminent!

Hi there, New to The Layoff, could not find an easy search option on my phones browser to see if this has already been discussed. I will have to go into the office on Saturday for a year end deliverable. Do weekends count towards RTO? Would love... — read more 

Was told that the target bonus for my role will be 10k when hired. What can I realistically expect to get? 0-10K?

Holiday message videos from Technology leaders broken. They should be fired.

Next Tuesday is a Tuesday after payday and also Christmas eve. Would anyone be surprised if there were layoffs?

I heard that the retail HMCs and PMBs have a new comp plan today. In MN, it will be a salary of 15.57 per hour. No draw. Big cuts in bps in the tiers. $150 min commission, which is down.

Does taking a full week of PTO count towards your average in-office week. If I go in once this week and take a full week next week, will I show up on a report?

Based on my experience, about 1 in 4 managers are actually decent and this ratio has been declining over the years. The rest are manipulative, shady, politicking knuckleheads who have no clue about the teams they are supposedly "leading". This... — read more

Anyone heard about layoffs in WIM. RTO was set for 2/3. So guessing non hub will be 30-60 days after that. Most unsettling part is managers aren’t talking to people. I know this isn’t a shock to anyone but it’s pathetic to let rumors fly and give... — read more 

I’ve been a good RTO drone. Whatever stupid rules they come up with, I cheerfully comply with. I will not quit. How long until they’re fed up and lay me off? I think it’s only reasonable to be paid to leave. I haven’t been working my a-s off for... — read more

It looks like I’ve managed to survive the year without being laid off! I did go on medical leave for several months for a surgery. Does anyone know if I will receive a regular bonus or if it is pro-rated for the time I was away on leave?
