IBM is Already Doing 'Voluntary' Layoffs This Year in Europe ('Buyouts' Ahead of Mass Layoffs)

There's now evidence that IBM does the "buyout" spiel to shake the tree and see what fruit falls. Later the chipping of the branches will commence.

Confirmed 10k buyout for carman / mechanical

Just got word from union rep appears they are offering a 10k buyout shortly to entice employees to quit instead of collecting whatever garbage unemployment is available. Sounds like another big wave of layoffs is in the future until the shareholders are satisfied. I encourage everyone to start looking for other employment while you can

Microsoft Offers Voluntary Retirement to US Employees

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to some U.S. employees. This marks the company's first such retirement program. Approximately 7% of the U.S. workforce is eligible. Eligibility requires a combined age and years of service totaling 70 or more. Microsoft is also adjusting its annual employee rewards system.

150,000 buyout for Central States drivers was canceled 3/24/26 will all buyouts be canceled?

3/24/26 Teamsters announced buyouts were withdrawn by company for 13 Central States. No surprise. All negotiations should go thru the Union first. But the big question is will investors feel they were duped by stepping on a known banana peel and ask for their money back?

Many past companies have given the appearance of buyouts during low revenue quarters to garner more income or investments. But it is not possible a Corp. just did not fully read the Union contract they signed so they had to withdraw buyout offers. Fishy....

Salary buyouts are on the way

I have now heard this rumor enough to feel confident to repeat it.
Salary buy outs are on the way.
55+ and 30+ and you are a candidate.
Finance Barbie wants people off the books.
Her glasses are too dark but I like her.
She is fairly authentic.
But still not sure how they spread that 19.6 billion around.
Stellantis binned it all in one year and gave UAW ZERO!
I think we got lucky and next year will be a *
I personally will take my 9 or 12 months and hit the road.
Good riddance.
Saves me retiring with only one days notice.
You don't have to give any notice by law so you know.

The Way Forward

Predictions for the next few months:

Phase 2: oh now we are sure we want to incentivize buyouts (if we were not b4)

New hiring to replace opt outs and quitters: they are gonna scrutinize these with eye on filling gaps with wbd employees where they can. At the same time if you are a wbd employee with lots of seniority and benefits — ehh don’t get your hopes up.

Once merged, immediate cuts to finance, ops, legal, marketing, comms, and creative that don’t make actual content.

Cutting lots of execs who don’t actually create or do deals

Stip to be lowered except for teams identified as necessary from competitive standpoint — eg folks we need to keep away from google etc.

Outsourcing to intl positions where layoffs can be easily done if needed

Outsourcing hr and legal where possible/cheaper

More use of ai to fill functions

Finally none of this will be swift or strategic. Just a long toilet bowl swirl to where it needs to get to.

High chance it all fails due to debt and reliance on shrinking linear.

DCP was a Joke

P66 has been touting their new gas plant prospects, but their new Iron Mesa gas plant is mostly replacing volumes from DCP's disastrous James Lake gas plant purchase and shifting volumes from DCP's awful Goldsmith gas plant. Imagine spending the money on a new plant to replace James lake that DCP purchased just before the P66 buyout. DCP spent money stupidly across the board. They invested so much growth money in the DJ basin and ignored the looming environmental regulations. They did nothing for compliance leading up to the P66 purchase. Now all of the short sighted DCP leadership is running P66 midstream. They are all touting midstream growth and leveraging G&P but the real stable money comes from historic pipeline and terminal. How can G&P add to the baseline we want when all of our competitors have over capacity everywhere we operate? What if this money was invested into growing the central refining efficiencies?

Union Buyouts

Rumors are circulating about potential union buyouts being offered in January or February. Has there been any official communication regarding possible buyouts for union members? Many union technicians are ready to retire or pursue other opportunities, and a buyout would likely prompt them to leave.

CWA Buyout

So we in the CWA are hearing on the 17th there is going to be the possibility of a buyout. Heard originally BST. Now hearing CST and BST. If they are offering 75k to buyout CST’s, will there be any left? Anyone heard anything? Are they going to mostly contractors like some of the CATV companies are? What gives? Anyone heard anything? I guess we will know on the 17th either way.
