Attracting talent...

Hmm, what kind of message this sends - a major LR while the company is highly profitable, with compensation that is only marginally above average.

Cisco markets to people who do not make purchasing decisions anyway.

Employees affected by this are unlikely to recommend Cisco solutions the next time they are in a position to influence buying decisions.


How many got hit?

How many people got impacted? What positions specifically got impacted in each BU? Any interesting people get laid off today?

I apologize to anyone dealing with the lay off. Both the website and dealing with being laid off. It’s one of the roughest experiences I’ve ever been through myself. But you will make it.

And if Fidelity is reading this, I will pay you to find whoever keeps making the Boston devops posts and take away their phone.


Attleboro City to Cut Positions

Attleboro Mayor Cathleen DeSimone announced upcoming layoffs. The city faces a $2.5 million budget deficit. Six to seven full-time positions will be eliminated. Rising health insurance costs are the primary cause. The city will balance its budget through these cuts and free cash.

Attleboro, Massachusetts

Looking for Your Next Position, Chapter, or Retirement Path....

If you are working at Fiserv and you’re not actively planning your next move, now is the time to start. The reality is that many employees will not be able to retire from this company on their own terms in the next 12 months. The organization has signaled—directly and indirectly—that long‑term employee value is no longer a priority. In some cases, instead of offering severance, roles are being shifted to temporary agencies, which raises serious questions about stability and future prospects.

You have to focus on what benefits you. The era of staying with a single employer for 25 or 30 years and retiring comfortably is over. The job market is evolving quickly, and it’s essential to reposition yourself and begin developing an exit strategy that aligns with your goals, your skills, and your financial needs.

Do not hold on to a role that is losing relevance or a company that is no longer investing in its people. Prioritize protecting your future, expanding your options, and preparing for the next chapter—whatever that may look like for you.


Regarding Layoff, at least

Regarding layoffs, at least Jack Dorsey (CEO of Square, CashApp, Tidal) is being transparent, while Medtronic is not:

“we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. ”


rms perspective

rms here outside of north east region. if they try to force me into an RTM role with no severance option, im accepting and immediately going std after this launchs for “mental health” ….then will use that time to find another position elsewhere. but to b honest, already been doin that, applied to hundreds of positions. nothing back. we are all effed. SR/RMS are all equally effed. worst economy since 08/09.

yes, it means I take a sales position from a good rep, but at the same time it will teach them a lesson and will leave a territory unmanned and in the dump. serves these vipers right.


Is Anadarko and OK oil and gas losing it position as a top oil and gas basin

OKC based oil companies companies are exiting the city and state for Houston Texas. Ovintiv has divested Anadarko holdings. 10 years ago the investment world couldn’t get enough of the SCOOP and STACK. Now the investment community is far less interested in any OK investment. What factors are at play and what will OK oil industry look like in the near future.


Relax at Qualcomm

I have been with Qualcomm for the past 15 years. My current role typically takes only about 2–3 hours a day, and honestly, it’s something a new graduate could handle. Yet I continue in the same position and earn a Principal Engineer salary, which I’m very grateful for. Since I have extra time, I also pursue some real estate activities on the side., vesting and resting. There are hundreds of people like me in the company , milking the company as much possible.


Blocked from applying to lateral ORCM internal posting

Why do we still publish internal job postings if managers can still easily block someone and prevent them from being considered for the role?

And more often than not, the roles are prefilled with an internal candidate but posted anyway.

There’s organization including ICs are aware to this, to the point that when considering whether to apply, the first question to the hiring manager is “is this an actual position, or is it already backfilled?”


Existing site based non-wage positions are also affected.

From another thread:

900 Calgary campus employees gone. The remaining folks will be shipped to the manufacturing sites primarily Strathcona (Edmonton).

Some site folks (non wage) are to be replaced by higher performing folks from the Calgary move. Redundant positions especially in the mid to higher CLs at the sites to be replaced with Calgary folks that have been working global roles.


Top earners & folks getting close to their 20-year pension

They say they’re eliminating positions, but over the past 16 months, it’s become clear that long-tenured employees—especially those close to 20 years of service and eligible for pensions—are being systematically let go. Higher-paid leaders have also been removed. There seems to be a clear trend of replacing experienced, older employees with younger, less experienced hires who cost less. The current leadership has created a toxic environment, and the company appears to be in decline.


TIREMAN GONE, HONEYMAN GONE, TIME TO SEARCH OUTSIDE OF 3M AGAIN

With Honeyman gone, some 3Mer's might be interested in the honeyman position. 3M leadership will go outside of 3M because 3Mers are viewed as incompetent, good worker bees but not leadership material. The longer you are at 3M, the less likely you will be promotable. A longtime 3Mer is a future job elimination. 3M wants non-3M experienced leaders. The non-3M experienced leaders have been so impressive. Let the search begin.


Negotiating Salary/Benefits Package as Internal Candidate

I work at U.S. Bank right now and got offered a new internal position. questions are:

  • How successful have fellow internal folks been at negotiating salary? Any tips on how to maximize salary without going overboard?
  • Has anyone been able to negotiate their vacation package (e.g., 2 weeks to 3 weeks) or any other benefits?
  • any other areas that other internal folks have been successful at negotiating?

For context, I was offered around $65K which I feel is low and $80-85K is more in line with industry and based on my skills. Thanks for any advice you might all have.
