#cuts

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India

Good luck to all

the bloody cuts from the end of the year aren't enough.

"For 2026, the company expects normalized operating margin of 8.6-9.2%, with the midpoint representing a 50-basis-point (bps) improvement from 2025. Most of this expansion is anticipated to come from lower overhead expenses. The productivity plan is also projected to deliver more than $75 million in year-over-year savings and reduce overhead by nearly 100 bps, as a percentage of sales. These savings will support Newell to offset inflation and higher tariff costs while supporting increased investment in innovation without compromising profitability."

Just was wondering if layoffs could start as soon as first quarter is done. Is April shaping up to be the prime month a shakedown could happen?

Until when? I've heard so many different things at this point I can't keep track anymore.

Anyone know whether it is a confirmed News that March End we will have a First rounds of Layoffs?

Master plan is to cut deep and manage by moving IDC resource to US using L1B loophole if the situation demands. Good luck folks.

Rewards are NOT learning experiences and more work... "Rewards" are actually paying employees and giving cost of living increases.

Calling it now, the ONLY people getting these "merit" increases will be leadership and sales peeps. Meanwhile the rest of us will stay stagnant and take on second and third jobs while we try and hunt for a new career in this dumpster fire of a job market.

Anyone else see the stocks that all the execs got? It's crazy that they are laying people off in different BUs, changing the variable comp goal posts, and bringing in McKenzie over and over and they still get that bonus. Are we all just happy with a job and .9 VC instead of demanding better? Feels like they are asking for unions with this BS.

Starting to hear of the March round taking shape. Know of 1 in HR. What’s everyone else seeing?

Post any high level details of what you are seeing this morning (or if you were impacted).

:(

And they'll have no better ideas than to cut the ranks and yet again diminish the customer experience.

That’s the rumor swirling. Allegedly Wednesday. Does anyone know who exactly will be affected? I remember an article from February saying that 15% of the staff will be cut in the spring so I’m guessing that’s now.

does anyone think a 3rd round of closings will happen?

Plans are in the works to decimate all disciplines within Operations. We will see if upper management goes through with it. Some cuts are inevitable, but the new plan seems a bit of overkill. Regardless, a bumpy ride is forecast.

They just keep coming. There's no end to them. Another round, then another, then another. I'm so tired of it.

Senior management will remain untouched, as usual. For every executive who keeps their job, dozens of us will have to go. They'll go by the numbers to make their selections, which means the better you are, and therefore the more you're paid, the higher your chances of being cut. This company is slowly cannibalizing itself to pay for grandiose decisions that never made business sense.

The Peel District School Board issued layoff notices. More than 300 teachers received these notices for next September. Declining student enrollment is the primary reason for the cuts. The board's student population has decreased by nearly 10,000 in eight years. An Ontario Education Minister recently appointed a supervisor to the board.

Nothing this month?

I've lost count of how many layoff rounds I've seen. They just keep coming. There's no finish line, no moment where they say okay we're done. It's constant. The cuts keep coming and we're just supposed to be okay with it? We're supposed to keep on working like everything's fine? How did we get here?

did anyone receive layoff notice today contractors or Full timers?

Years of poor mergers, awful stock performance, and a massive data breach have left the company weaker, less trusted, and increasingly irrelevant. Instead of owning these failures and investing in real product improvement, leadership has done almost the opposite.

The products have stagnated. Customers know it. That’s why they’re leaving. And rather than fixing what’s broken, leadership’s answer has been blunt-force cost cutting and pushing a ~30% SPI increase onto customers who already don’t see the value. It’s not strategy — it’s desperation.

While customers churn and employees are asked to do more with less, Mike and the executive team have quietly extracted hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation from the company. That money didn’t go into innovation, security, or customer success. It went into executive pockets.

The most insulting part is the attitude. When concerns are raised, the response isn’t accountability or respect its dismissal, contempt, and sometimes outright laughter. Leadership hits paydirt while employees hit the breadline, and we’re told this is “good for the business.”

It isn’t. It’s short-term financial engineering at the expense of long-term trust.

Shame on the leadership team for hollowing out a company that once mattered. And shame on anyone still carrying water for decisions that have clearly failed customers, employees, and shareholders alike.

This didn’t have to be the outcome. It was a choice.

Well said, @ad+1keshgf86.

Any info on this?

Has the Q1 round of layoffs wrapped up? Are we expecting another round at the end of Q2? What’s the full-year target for layoffs, and how many have already been cut so far? I only saw media mention 1,000 in January, but no numbers for March or the rest of the year. Any clarity?
