November layoffs

Seattle Children’s Hospital will lay off more than 150 workers this fall, blaming the cuts on the loss of federal funding.

The hospital confirmed Wednesday that 154 employees will be laid off and 350 open positions will be eliminated, effective Nov. 15.

C-Suite and EC Next

Rumor has it c-suite and EC cuts are next now that the farce of a Board meeting is done. About time they start treating the senior leaders with the same ruthlessness they treat everyone else. AMN continues to use RTO to do layoffs without paying severance and hide poor financial performance. That may seem like good business to the bean counters but what it reflects is a bankrupt ethical culture.

Senior leaders bully SMEs into submission on quality issues, ignore compliance and cut corners that will ultimately harm patients (pay attention clients!). SpeakUp is a joke and the Board doesn’t have a clue that the worst offenders were the ones sitting in that meeting with them including those in charge of the so called quality and ethics programs.

Mark my words this company will not exist in 3 years. It is being run straight into the ground by unethical people.


54 engineering employees laid off Sept 15th

54 employees were laid off on September 15 with 33 of them being shifted to India. Deep cuts made to US based engineering teams, especially those working at headquarters. Pretty much confirms that the goal is to shift most, of not all, development work to India. AI presence will largely remain in Ireland


Layoffs hit everyone now

There was a time when only underperformers were at risk, but that’s long gone. You can get a pat on the back today and be cut tomorrow. It’s stressful to always wonder if you’ll be next, and it makes showing loyalty feel pointless. Hopefully, the job market improves and we can all leave before being kicked out.


Out of scope expat

We have an expat who works as a team leader/supervisor and was identified as an out of scope employee during this second half selection. This individual is a great performer (and so does everybody else who is left behind since 6 re-orgs ago). Why would they select and retain a more expensive expat when the position can be performed by someone locally? I understand if it is like a CTC specialist role but this is a typical supervisory role. Talk about selective cost cutting. Oh well, politics is always present everywhere you go. Sigh.


Next layoff?

I hate that we have to have this mind set, but its a new month so im wondering if layoffs are coming around again. With the amount of issues with clients and clinicians due to all of the changes and clinicians choosing to leave due to it all, I can only imagine how much was lost money wise so worried about if/who will be cut next.


My Dept got ~60% cut

I am at TETD under ATTD. We have teams in OR and in AZ. Intel is shutting down all developments in TETD, so we are letting go of ~60% employees which would be several hundreds both in AZ and in OR.

This is another typical Intel failing in strategy. After investing billions and hiring lots of really talented engineers for more than 20 years, now we are shutting down because there are no immediate customers as we trust TSMC more than ourselves.

Everyone who sees this, remember you will be the next target. DO NOT TRUST INTEL LEADERSHIP period. Intel is set on the course for bankruptcy like Motorola. I am afraid USA is following the course of Intel these days under the great leadership of our fearless but regarded leader. This so awesome for China.


Not old Swire any more

Used to be a great company, like a family - they took care of people. Now things turned south, they had three layoffs over last couple of years. The last cut was about six months ago and almost 200 people were got cut from FSOP. I would not trust the management any more, this is different times now and they tell you one thing just to turn around and do something completely different.


Pacific Northwest National Laboratory layoffs

The former chemical engineer and biofuels researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland was furloughed two months ago. In August, PNNL laid him off, along with 90 other jobs being cut in recent weeks.

Why is there even a need for cuts?

So many people are already leaving voluntarily, yet they keep talking about cuts. It’s like they don’t see the bigger picture and are just determined to make things worse. The morale has been terrible for a while, and it doesn't help that the company is punishing the people who stayed instead of fixing the issues.


Don’t expect this to make sense

I’m willing to bet my paycheck that we will not lose bad performers, but some of our best people. They’ll grab onto this opportunity (read: excuse) to lay off people with higher pay (meaning, people with the most experience and knowledge who’ve been here a while) and replace them with cheaper hires. Sad but most likely true.


Why the fascade??

We all know cuts are due in October so why plot elaborate fascade ?

HR, scrum masters, they're all playing dirty games, preventing promotion, opportunities not given to people anymore.

Been asked to do tasks which are mundane, not required in the bigger scheme of things


Enough with the mass hiring sprees followed by mass layoffs

It’s like the company has turned the workforce into a seasonal commodity instead of actual people. Every new round chips away at any remaining loyalty or pride in the work. Enough is enough. And if you don't know how high our hiring is, go and check. Makes no sense amid constant layoffs.


September running total

Sep09 6am UTC - Sep10 5:30am UTC totals: 78 layoffs, 33 additions.
September totals (except Sep01): 4348 layoffs, and 279 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

I have a suspicion some locations (in Pacific region) do not cut Slack access immediately in the same way it was done for the NA prior. May be HR figured out that cutting immediately makes it too easy to track and they don't want this kind of panic and bad press.


September totals

Sep08 7am UTC - Sep09 6am UTC totals: 87 layoffs, 193 additions.
September totals (except Sep01): 4270 layoffs, and 246 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.
There are rumors about Australia and NZ for tomorrow.


Layoffs confirmed today

Decade and a half at xrx and someone in a private conversation confirmed (at least in their role within the service delivery organization) names are already on lists and submitted to VPs within said organizations.

CFO also mentioned "difficult decisions" being made... my guess is another 15%.
