#cuts

The regular drumbeat of cuts has had a damaging impact on morale as staff become accustomed to the ever-present threat of losing their jobs, sources said. Co-workers regularly vanished from Slack without much, if any, explanation, sources said, with staff often only finding out when former colleagues post about being let go on LinkedIn. Shopify did not respond to a request for comment.

475 employees will be gone in early 2026, but could get jobs elsewhere.

Two other plants are also closing. LA Plant to remain open.

They pushed all debt to 2029 push br all while paying themselves millions.They will start firing employees once investors start getting pissy but won't lower there salary. What happens when you hire a hillbilly CEO who sounds low IQ.

Per a friend who works there , the CEO shared this week at an employee all hands that T-Mobile employees can expect a big layoff in Q1. No number given but rumor is that it will be a 30% reduction.

If you are looking for something new, maybe avoid T-Mobile.

Ho ho ho!!!
Rumor is they'll cut deep, hard and fast in the failing Model E segment

Any views on what sku to be cut? Retail and foodservice or just one? The 20% in the announcement?

Paired with Quaker sell off counts as those sku out?

Half our team is gone, and somehow we’re supposed to keep everything running like nothing changed. I genuinely don’t understand how leadership thinks the same workload is going to get done with half the people. There’s no plan, no adjustment, nothing. How's this supposed to work?

Been hearing 12/24 as another possible LAYOFF date. Just wanted to make sure you all were aware. Got the news from my reliable source today, citing increasing market turmoil and the crash that is about to start.

Good luck everyone!

Hundreds of layoffs are hitting Chicago’s suburbs. S&S Activewear is letting go of 195 employees, APL Logistics is cutting 230, and 10 Roads Express is dropping 55 workers - adding up to almost 700 layoffs across Illinois.

Any word on cuts in the new year in 2026? Some job functions are starting to integrate AI to reduce headcount. Repetitive functions are being streamlined by AI. This is occurring from roles from accounts receivable, payable, payroll, service desk analyst, desktop analyst and more.

Some say because CNRL has a history of not cutting it won’t occur in one shot. Rather they will initially try to focus cuts on attrition (not hiring for those who retire, quit or go on disability leave). CNRL has been historically slow to take any strategy moves. With the changing economy and tariffs we will have no choice to pivot. Other industries have seen and continue to see job cuts due to AI. It’s only a matter of time before the impact is seen here.

Hold off on those expensive summer vacation to France, Germany or other places like some did in 2025. We are in for a rough ride ahead. Believe it or not AI is coming for our jobs even here at CNRL, it’s just a matter of time.

Right on time for UHG to complete divesting the LATM businesses. One can only hope with that the unqualified people with fake LinkedIns will also be divested.

Let's start with the UHG Segment Information Security Officer - Global who also claims to be and International Information Security Officer - Cybersecurity. He has a non-verifiable certification from ISACA. Let's hope the company is not paying for his CISM renewal for the Kenya Chapter which is just another example of questionable experience.

He has yet to demonstrate he can actually delivery what he claims on LinkedIn. Everyone in ESRO is tired of handing over their documentation to him and his buddy who interestingly enough has two jobs here at UHG. While there are layoffs going on, he for some reason is a Segment Information Security Officer and International Information Security Liaison. How does that work given no relevant IT or security certifications.

Qualified American citizens have been laid off from UHG and Optum since 2015 yet non-qualified people that are kept on. While Jairo Orea was here, he gave both of them the top scores and bonuses. Neither of these recruits ever lead the efforts they have on their LinkedIn.

Yes there are staff cuts coming once the the complete divesture is Banmedica is complete. ESRO staff with the rights certs and degrees make sure you document ever effort you lead and if you provide coaching.

Hearing that Cap 1 and Consumable reduction? Moving positions overnight??

They do only if you care exclusively about the short-term bottom line. We’ve been losing good people and destroying well-established and efficient teams. And it doesn’t really matter that it’s happening right before Christmas. That fact just makes the greed, incompetence, carelessness, and disregard even more jarring.

There are postings I see this week of roles I know 100% were a pay grade higher which is now lower by one level.
So take away our bonus, lower 401, lower raise, more workload, less people and now downgrading roles.
Fu-k you optum.

Any thoughts on what the payout will be for 2025?
I can imagine that the targets are made more difficult for 2026 to save money
Also can foresee the end of the LTI and other non contractual benefits

Do we feel like we finally have the swim lanes straightened out? Is this model going to get us to the top? Or is it a s-show slapped together with all of us plebs suffering through the chaos? The execs know, but it is acceptable from their perspective. We are expendable anyway.
Cutting jobs to the top of the food chain! That will beat xom!

Laying off staff and trying to make do with less resources…
New staff who don’t know much about the job and the company…
Tenured associates with the role and company knowledge gone…
News flash T Rowe, what do you think is going to happen? Who is going to do the work? Who knows how to do the work?

During a recent leadership call, T-Mobile’s new corporate team announced that major organizational changes would be implemented by mid-January. The message was delivered with an unusual emphasis on “emotional intelligence,” as leaders reminded employees to manage their feelings throughout the transition. To many on the call, this advice came across as tone-deaf—almost dismissive—especially given the real possibility that these changes could dramatically affect workers’ livelihoods at a time when the cost of living continues to rise.

For employees already feeling the strain of inflation, uncertainty, and demanding workloads, being told to focus on emotional intelligence felt like an indirect admission that little consideration was being given to their actual well-being. Several team members interpreted the message as a clear signal that T-Mobile’s leadership was more concerned with optics than with the human impact of their decisions.

Some employees openly expressed frustrations, stating that working for T-Mobile since the merger has “been the pits,” and that they no longer find joy or purpose in their roles. Morale, once a hallmark of the company’s culture, has eroded. What was once marketed as an energetic, people-first workplace has increasingly begun to feel, to many, like a corporate machine asking for more while giving less.

As January approaches, employees are left navigating an atmosphere of uncertainty—hoping for the best, but bracing for changes that may once again redefine not just their work, but their way of life.

From everything I’ve seen, the only real criterion was the bottom line, which usually means we’ve lost a disproportionate amount of talent. A lot of teams are going to be even more crippled than before. I’m not exactly looking forward to all of us having to pick up even more work to cover the roles that just disappeared.

I see that SOBO went through some cuts. I also see that a few posts were removed due to probably using initials of the degenerate directors. censorship is alive and well.

P.S. sorry for the TCE folks who have to see this in their feeds. South Bow doesn't have its own page yet but no worries, it will be a good laugh for you guys.

long story short my manager said cuts are coming really soon to analytics and other divisions.my sisters 23 has been applying everywhere since she graduated and has not gotten anything, im so fu--ing scared since this is my only big boy job.How are yall searching??

This is literally the description on the Layoff.com portal

Let’s that sink in!!!!!!!

We are now 85k barely. We have lost close to 100k employees.

This is a effing TITANIC I say. Jump while you can. Indian future CEO is already interviewing. Trust me!!!!

The investor said PepsiCo is being hurt by a "lack of strategic clarity." Do you agree?

https://share.google/ozB3fXLWDmuBn5x5r

Not true.. faculty and course leads, coordinators are being let go

do a a quick google search, multiple articles released today. Feels like they are easing into what’s to come.

where and how many??

Our manager talks about work/life balance, but cuts and voluntary departures mean the workload just keeps growing. Its becoming exhausting and nobody seems to care. I don't know how the rest of you are dealing with it, but I'm this close to walking away, and I don't even have anything lined up.

Automotive supplier Avancez is cutting its second shift this month, resulting in the permanent layoffs of 143 workers at its Hazel Park facility. The move was detailed in a notice submitted Nov. 7 by Avancez in compliance with WARN.

December is here, does anybody know by now when we can expect more cuts? Is Q1 a possibility?

Who is hoping to be laid off ? How much is your severance pay? 💰

There’s no massive layoff wave in Wisconsin, but plenty of smaller and mid-sized cuts across different industries are creating a lot of uncertainty. If economic pressures continue, more job losses are definitely possible.

The grift that keeps on grifting. He will consult through the transition.
Plus private jet perks and more for leading the company from 1st to 3rd place.
Will he still have a security detail?
Employee shareholders pay the price.

There’s no real chance of recovery on the path we’re on, especially with the people steering the wheel. At this point it barely matters whether the next cuts land in December or later. They’re coming. It would just be nice if, for once, the people responsible actually took the blame. It’s absurd to pretend anyone but leadership is accountable for the state of affairs.

Executives are considering potential budget cuts as high as 30% for the metaverse group next year, which includes the virtual worlds product Meta Horizon Worlds and its Quest virtual reality unit, according to people familiar with the talks, who asked not to be named while discussing private company plans. Cuts that high would most likely include layoffs as early as January, according to the people, though a final decision has not yet been made.

Don’t be. Or at least, don’t take them to heart. They aren’t genuine assessments. They’re just a convenient cover for cuts and reorgs. A bad review might increase the odds of being let go, but it says nothing about your real performance, and definitely nothing about your actual value. Leadership is focused on finding the easiest and cheapest ways to push people out, whether it’s through reviews or some other pretext. The whole thing is just theatrics.

Pay rises ? Anyone heard or will it be a company wide no increases for 26

Anything other than the ability to blindly cut from one Q to the next?

History repeats itself. The great RIF’s of 2023 and 2024 were big. The 2025 one was disruptive. I don’t think we have seen anything yet with what’s coming ahead of FY27 given current path. Everyone in teams are going to be asked to cut and tech is going to be back to the basics. Keep email going and get people phones and computers. Then get out of the way.

Few domains will be left. The way EH wants it. He thinks Tech is nonsense. Just knows he cannot say it in public on record.

So this is why all the cabinets were getting stuffed.
