#backfill

I’ve noticed on my team under the umbrella of National Buying, every now and then, we hear that XYZ is no longer with the company, effective immediately, no further explanation. And then their role doesn’t get reposted. I don’t know if these people are being let go or if they are quitting and it’s effective immediately. But it is ominous. Thoughts? Insight?

Got wind of a rumor that there is another massive round of lay offs coming to Gore.

Any leader that is more than 6 degrees or levels (even though Gore "doesn't have levels") away from Brett Snyder is going to be cut.

They are also refusing to backfill important roles and just piling on their work to other associates.

This messaging is extremely weird considering they just gave a profit share check out - which implies we are exceeding expectations.

So the HR Leaders in Food reposted an HR Manager position they laid someone off out of earlier this year. They lay someone off, then repost in less than a year. How people first of them!

Seems like the new d and s model and the attrition, redundancies and retirements are starting to really hurt executives. Their planners are resigning with no backfills, they can’t staff major projects or roles and operations are struggling.

Folks who left their projects were not backfilled - OK, I guess that's the point of layoffs - good job execs. But work continued with CIEC team members joining instead... Is that happening elsewhere? If your team was cut - what work stopped???? What moved to another group??? What landed on the people still here??? This whole thing makes no sense to me.

100s of posts on cuts at JPM, but what about people who resign or retire?

Are those positions actually getting filled or is management just spreading the work around and calling it efficiency? This comes across as a silent layoff.

Curious if anyone in CCB, CIB or tech has seen a backfill approved recently. Could this be how they're reducing headcount without announcing more layoffs?

If my backfill doesn’t get approved I am only at six — please inform me of the risk I am facing

No bargained employee layoffs in D9. They are backfilling.

We are a huge market.
We carry the company.
We are safe.

Verizon surpluses union positions, out of 6k offered package how many will be backfilled my guess is 10 percent 600. Thoughts ? Is the 6k number accurate. We've seen facebook posts that NY had 1500, PA 1200, NJ 800 where is the other cuts? Is it more like 3k jobs?
Union getting destroyed as well?

Why does every empty position sit around for four to six months before anyone fills it? Why do the rest of us on the team have to pick up the slack during that time?

BM stated quarterly sales and trading revenue would be “flat” relative to a year ago. Just like that, BAC stock dropped over 5 percent. Revenue is not the only thing going "flat" at BAC. Has any group gained any new hires to make up for short staffing? In our group, another person just announced retirement and no replacement will be requested. Yep, "flat" everywhere at BAC to include our paychecks...

I just kinda had a feeling I’d be let go, if not then.. eventually. Well my job along with others is posted. We had been told that we were in jeporday.. which is still being told to the remaining teams… confused on why they would repost a position that is already struggling.

What’s up with the ciso backfill? Any rumours

Just curious how many clubs out there have the merchandisers bale their own cardboard and how many make the backroom associates bale the merchandisers cardboard.

Inside scoop: Heard some concrete info from a very solid internal source about the roadmap for backfills. If you're a manager in the US, Canada, Germany, India, or France, you already know how brutal it is to replace departures right now. Managers are being forced to provide double and triple justifications just to get a basic backfill approved, and even then, finance is pushing to have them relocated.The funniest part? Management has officially panicked themselves into believing India is "too expensive" now. Yes, you read that right. The old corporate golden child is suddenly a margin liability because of high Bangalore wage inflation which now makes it not a low cost hub anymore. So while the West and even get starved out through natural attrition, Egypt is the new favorite child. They have about 450 people in Cairo now, completely insulated from the layoffs, and corporate is quietly funneling the core software and EDA tooling work over there because the currency devaluation makes it a fraction of the cash burn. If you're waiting on a local backfill approval in the US, Germany, Canada, France, anymore in Western Europe or even India—don't hold your breath.

Another round of layoffs, affecting a limited number of back-office positions. Recurring pattern in August and November.

I don't know what happened, but the culture seems to have shifted. My manager went from being one of those horrible micromanagers to minding his own business, we backfilled two positions which made everything so much easer on all of us, and there has been no talk about layoffs for a while. I don't want to jinx it, but credit where credit's due.

The leadership's perfect candidate has wisdom of a 50yo, experience of a 40yo, drive of a 30yo, and will work for pay of 20yo.

Shell employee here. We have lost a handful of wells employees to y’all over the past few years, and 3-4 DW drilling engineers the past few weeks. Why? Are you having natural attrition and need to backfill? Are there new projects that demand it? Or is this just adding to the bloat? I’m under the impression BP has the highest headcount per barrel produced of all the majors, so it seems like you should be reducing headcount not adding it.

We desperately need more people, we're dying over here, but we're being told nobody is being hired currently. Is this true? I haven't heard anything about a hiring freeze happening.

I know there were deep cuts of talented people even younger engineers. From my time there, I recall there were already many positions that hadn’t been back filled.

How can they lay off AMs, while turning around and immediately adding new AMs?

It seems like what might be really happening is CDW is trying to re-set the payroll with lower paid employees and foregoing the experience, expertise and customer relationships of AMs who were paid more competitively.

I’m sure that’s also happening in other departments.

What could go wrong?🤦🏻‍♂️

They're backfilling communication techs in D9.

We are safe.

Volume is flat, overtime is being watched, and have been told anyone that quits, retires etc, that those positions will not be filled in Mechanical across the Southwest at this time. Any news anywhere else?

With our app counts down, MLA negotiations not going well with one carrier, and backfills not happening, has anyone heard of any more layoffs? A small one seems likely to me after the earnings call.

My manager keeps promising to fill open roles but nothing ever happens. We are drowning in work and every month it is the same story about help that never arrives.

We're desperate to backfill some roles, but no luck for nearly six months. There's always some reason why "not right now." What's going on? Is there an official hiring freeze we don't know about?

Heard today that Schwab is going to discontinue hiring in the US and all backfills and future roles will go to GCC. Has anyone else heard this?

It’s all US managers with increasingly international teams. We have no “bench” if anyone in the US leaves, which is vital since those of us in the US are doing more complex work and in other countries it’s more backoffice tasks.

Theres no longterm strategy. We’re all in on the short term profits boosts. It’s gonna bite us longterm, but the executives making those decisions will cash out and be long gone by then.

Any other clubs that lose people find out that they aren’t being replaced ? We lost a receiver, a day forklift driver and someone in freezer cooler .. we were told they were not getting replaced .. yet the F/c now has a merch over there which has left the floor short .. then they take a lift driver over there which make the floor short again.. why are we not replacing people .. all they are doing is stressing everyone out because we still have to do the job yet we are running out butts off like crazy while our managers get a huge pay raise to still sit in the office or walk around the club with their coffee cups barking out orders of how we aren’t getting enough done . Home office needs to get their heads out of their butts and realize it isn’t the mangers keeping your clubs going … it is the associates u are treating badly

HR leaders are confirming the new reality. F5 is trading years of expertise for these external "strategic" hires. Long-term employees across various departments are just being phased out with no announcement or acknowledgment of what they built. Agencies are now reaching out for positions that don’t even appear vacant or aren't posted on the F5 Careers site. These roles are being backfilled by people with zero history regarding the tech or the culture. If you have high tenure, your experience is a liability now instead of an asset. "Human-First" looks great on a slide deck, but it’s taking a backseat to margin targets while the culture evaporates in real-time.

Has anyone else noticed colleagues just going silent? Is there anyone you haven't heard from in a while, even if they're still showing up in the directory?

Nike has just posted multiple openings at IRC to backfill the roles that were laid off.
So, in other words, it was not a layoff, but simply outsourcing.

For years now, every layoff round has taken either a core role or someone who was holding the whole team together. And nothing ever gets backfilled. No follow-up, no acknowledgment of the gaps. It's like leadership wants teams to fall apart. I get that they're just lazy number-crunchers, but even then, this makes no sense.

How does MF stay and keep earning? So glad nasty HON is gone. Backfill not necessary. Big savings there.

If so, when? Confused after some recent announcements. Specifically upstream.

So many positions are getting filled - a bunch of people will not be in their current jobs (backfill already announced) …where are they going. Part of the new org ?

Finance, IT and HR have 40-50% headcount reduction targets by 2030. Expect 5-10% "performance" cuts each year, very few backfills and a ROM 2028-2029.

We can easily dispatch another 30% and it will still function. There are too many coasters, old timers sitting there doing nothing. Too much dead weights. Americans are lazy.

My team is down to nothing. One more loss and the whole thing collapses. Two roles were highly specialized. Never backfilled, never even discussed. Workload's a mess, skills are missing, and no one cares. Okay, fine, cut if you must. But could there at least be some thought behind it? Or maybe fix things afterward for once?
