JPMorgan Chase is laying off 244 employees at its Plano campus. These cuts represent about 2% of the campus workforce. The affected positions are primarily fraud specialist roles. Layoffs are expected to begin on August 21. This action is due to the bank discontinuing inbound fraud call center operations.

Anyone hearing about new cuts at eBay this week? How many affected, which teams/locations?

St. Charles Health System eliminated 22 leadership positions. This action followed a reassessment of leadership roles. Twenty-three vacant positions will also remain unfilled. CEO Michael Hartke mentioned recent growth. Direct patient care staff were not impacted.

But somehow that only applies when the topic is easy and doesn't make anyone uncomfortable. When we try to find out about incoming cuts, suddenly its silence. Funny how that works.

That's the rumor I've been hearing, is it true?

Diageo conducted substantial layoffs across its North American organization. This marks the second round of cuts in as many months. The reduction in force also functions as a sweeping reorganization. Remaining employees are directed to adopt a 'Bigger, Better, Fewer' approach. The company aims to retool big-time brands for the United States market.

I'm not sure I'll be able to do anything today. I tried sleeping but I'm so nervous and over-stressed that I couldn't. I'm honestly not sure how I'll make it through the day, especially if cuts really do continue. My team was not affected yesterday, so if there's more, chances are we will be.

It was said before and it needs to be repeated. Our management levels are bloated and need to be thinned out. Layoffs are needed, but they keep targeting the wrong people. Focus on managers who do nothing and we'll be golden.

Who will be out???

Any layoffs for home and community?

Well, Q2 is almost in the books, and you know what's cooking in the kitchen besides some 30oz steaks on the grill? More cuts, cut the fat, cut the hype, cut me a steak! Man, make it two!

Getting those lists ready as we really need to make the numbers to show just how much a difference getting a new head honcho is making. Let's make sure to keep it under 50 in every state just so that we don't have to put out any WARN notices, OK?

While we are at it, let's pretend we did something interesting with AI, like a security thing-a-jig that is not AI, but kind of sounds like it is. Or maybe we helped a mid-market company no one has ever heard of doing something wh-z-bang with AI? Yes, that sounds about right. Print it!

And also while no one is paying attention to us (really no one is) let's hire more Cisco folks who are washed up and were on the list for LR (go look it up).

Is it over?

I've been here long enough to have noticed a pattern. Each year, around this time, there are cuts. It's not a massive round, but it's always something. A few people here, a few there, but it always happens like clockwork. If you've been here a while, you know what I'm talking about.

By the way get ready for another lay off by the 29th Monday.

Is this true?

We're always seeing more cuts, fewer benefits, managers who know they can do whatever they want, and so many other things. This place fell so far so fast.

Or will there be more throughout the rest of the week?

The leaders on this board covering up the poor decisions being made over the past two to three years is epic...right now you are neck in neck with workers that are viewing this board, thumbing up or down!

When the cuts start there won't be enough of you to quell the wave of anger!

Enjoy things for now :-)

Bleeding to death...

Rumors are flying about layoffs in July. Anyone know if this is real?

Will see reductions in my backyard, planned for August. Full scope within MDT unknown.

Two companies in New Jersey announced 260 job cuts. Verizon Corp Resources Group filed notices for 191 workers. These Verizon layoffs will occur in two rounds by September. Digital Room LLC plans to eliminate 69 positions in Saddle Brook. These new filings contribute to 746 total layoffs disclosed in June.

The Fort Smith Board of Directors will discuss a letter. This letter asks the Arkansas General Assembly for a new requirement. Hospitals would need to provide written notice before ending major services. This discussion follows Baptist Health-Fort Smith's recent department closures. These closures included labor and delivery, oncology, and other services.

Johns Hopkins announced its largest job cut ever. Over 2,000 positions were eliminated. Cuts affected medical and public health divisions. A nearly billion-dollar funding cliff caused this. USAID pullbacks contributed to the shortfall.

Why do we have so many people whose only job is making slides and sitting in meetings? And how are they never the ones who get cut?

Can we have some of those?

More rifs happened today

When will they start cutting projects?

A veteran employee here with twenty years in. The cuts years ago felt justified. There was real fat to trim. But these days, terminations are just about finding the easiest way to reduce cost at the cost of some of the best employees. Morale is at an all time low. Worse than anything I've seen before. We need new leadership and a whole new direction.

There were always cuts, that's part of the business. But I didn't expect the culture to change so completely and so fast. I swear, it became toxic almost overnight. The environment is now completely unrecognizable. It'd almost be fascinating, if it didn't affect us all so much.

Canada Post is laying off dozens of managers. This move aims to save the company money. The organization has experienced severe financial losses for years. Three senior executives were dismissed last month. The chief financial officer was among those terminated.

That's usually a good sign, but I can't help still being a bit anxious. Is there anything to worry about?

If you are impacted it would help to understand the BU, team or even location. The company is too big to try and figure what jobs are impacted this time around.

Thx!

The University of Vermont Health network recently laid off over 140 employees. These cuts primarily targeted administrative and non-patient-facing roles. Affected positions include nurses, social workers, and cytogenetics lab staff. The network aims to save $9.5 million annually towards a $300 million expense reduction goal. Unions express concerns about potential impacts on patient care and staff workload.

Wed mass cuts where made on the consumer side. Alot of level 2, specifically LRIS aka authorized side. About 50% cuts where made so that means the people who were "saved" will now have double the doors and a larger territory to cover. Not sure if that's a balance to have. Also firsnet subs laid off. From my understanding all were let go at least on the west coast.

Level 3 DOS saved, support teams saved for now. But I'm sure more cuts will happen.

This is consumer. Not sure on the business side, ihx, or any org were also cut. Crazy the load more work for the people being "saved" with same pay and not so great raises.
