#cuts

that can only mean another round of cuts and layoffs.

So its almost time! Who know what is happening in January this year?
Region/division cuts? Position cuts?

I’m among those who expected nothing less from the new CEO, but cuts of 6% or more are a truly depressing number.

And that’s not going to happen with this leadership. It really feels like they’ve completely lost touch with reality. The world is changing fast, but Chevron is moving forward on pure inertia, as if nothing around us is shifting. They’re doing this reorg like it’s business as usual, but it’s not. These decisions can have serious long-term consequences, not just for the company but for the many people who’ll be left without jobs. It’s frustrating watching leadership pretend everything is going according to plan, while there’s no real plan grounded in reality.

The scope of the job cuts could not be learned immediately. Colonial Pipeline declined to say how many jobs would be cut.

The changes come just months after New York-based asset manager Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Colonial in a deal valued at about $9 billion, becoming the first sole owner of the over 5,500-mile pipeline network since its construction in the 1960s.

"IBM’s CEO is all about cutting out the things IBM used to be good at in favor pumping up the stock price. It’s a matter of time until he does the same to Red Hat"

how many jobs were lost in San Antonio? Did Carmen get cut there as well?

I have seen lots of managers VP CDL were laid off this week

Any of y’all that got canned because of location strategy, like me, get an email from a recruiter in the Redeployment Services group? Never heard of them and have no idea what they are wanting from me. Anyone have any experience with that group? Thanks

Worst set of cuts I've seen in years, not looking good

Or should we expect more cuts tomorrow?

Is it gone, or just scaled back?

Layoffs are coming EOY, maybe BOY. Losing 3 out of 6 clients, along with the consistent effort of moving support off shore....

It was just announced that less than 30 colleagues are affected. Does anyone know the areas?

Tech Mahindra cut 10,669 positions for “portfolio rebalancing.” Oracle India reduced over 100 roles in September 2025 to support its “AI-driven product strategy.” HCLTech shed 8,080 employees largely due to divestitures and realignments. Accenture’s global cuts of 11,000 roles included a significant impact on India, aimed at “reinvesting in AI and digital transformation.”

Cognizant eliminated 3,500 positions globally to “simplify organisation and improve delivery speed.” IBM India dropped around 1,000 roles during its pivot to hybrid cloud and AI, while Capgemini India cut 800 jobs to align with “evolving client demand.”

LBT noted today between basketball, laser focus, humble, my BFF’S, that we need to get to 75K employees by end of the year, for you super geniuses this is about 13K more to go. (TSMC plus Nvidia) is 75K. Dont get too comfortable.

Walmart needs a really good story to tell at the Q3 earnings call. What better way than to cut more US workers and save a ton of money on salaries! Remember, they have thousands of already approved H1B positions and the obvious closeness between the Indian outsourcers and Walmart leadership pretty much paints the picture of what’s to come.

It begins again.

Who knows who all is going to be laid off at Kearl? Which positions,depts etc?

I still can’t figure out for the life of me how they pick who stays and who goes when it's time for cuts. Some of the best people I’ve ever worked with got cut while the dead weight’s is still around, completely unbothered. Throwing names in a hat would be a better strategy than what was used.

Oracle’s strategy is firmly established from its earnings notice, with a clear commitment to continuing as a leader in the infrastructure space. The key upcoming changes include:

• Expanding headcount in data centers and OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)
• Doubling down on OCI initiatives
• Phasing out legacy applications
• Transforming select legacy apps into more modern solutions
  To remain relevant, you will need to align yourself with one of these focus areas. Please be aware that there will be significant reductions in management and leadership roles in the near future. These cuts are expected to occur continuously over the next two years. Now would be a good time to start updating your resume. People who were laid off recently will struggle for a while but eventually settle in. So plan ahead.

A CU leader just blurted out “there’s another round of cuts coming [2025Q4]”. Other NYP leaders have mentioned gaps that need to be closed.

What’s the official word? Personnel are going to impacted? Focusing on OTPS only?

Berklee College Of Music has made some big changes to its staff.

Amid shifting policies and rising costs within education, the school said they laid off 70 employees.

Berklee has confirmed to WBZ NewsRadio that the reduction in staff made up 3% of their employee base. No faculty positions were impacted by the layoffs.

Is it true starting in January and beyond; if a BOA wants to work at a branch the BOA needs the Series 7?

If so, is this a way for the firm to cut overhead at the branch level?

It’s weird time. Many companies are lining up for packaging and 18A-P. Big A is signed up for 14A. But still managers are asked to prepare list for next round of layoffs.

Which teams were affected?

According to warntracker.com

Spirit Airlines will furlough 103 flight attendants at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport starting December 1, according to a WARN notice filed with Michigan’s Labor and Economy Opportunity division. The airline called the move temporary but did not specify how long it will last.

Spirit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on August 29 and announced plans to scale back operations in some markets. The affected workers, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants, will be subject to protections under the WARN Act, which requires 60 days’ notice for certain plant closures or mass layoffs.

Iowa lost 220 jobs in September as John Deere and Burlington Trailways announced layoffs, according to state and company filings.

John Deere reported on Sept. 17 that it would cut 141 employees, including 101 at a Waterloo plant and 40 at its Des Moines Works site in Ankeny. The company cited seasonal farming demand and fluctuating production schedules as the reason for the reductions.

The following day, Burlington Trailways said it would lay off 79 workers and end its intercity bus routes. Most of the cuts take place at the company’s West Burlington headquarters, with additional layoffs in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Burlington and Davenport. Rising insurance costs, unstable carrier partnerships and uncertainty around federal grants drove the decision.

The Iowa DOT said Jefferson Lines will take over most of the routes, starting service as soon as the day after Burlington ends operations, and will hire some of the displaced workers. In fiscal 2024, more than 67,000 passengers boarded Burlington Trailways buses in Iowa.

I'm not part of the company, but I've heard 3-4% of employees were laid off in Sept 2025.

Do not let anyone gaslight you into thinking constant layoffs are normal. This is not normal.

SafeSource Direct, a PPE manufacturer based in Broussard, Louisiana, has announced an additional 150 layoffs, bringing the total number of jobs cut to nearly 700. The latest decision follows last month’s announcement that 541 employees would be laid off as the company prepares to suspend operations.

Founded during the pandemic and once highlighted for its local production under the “Made in Acadiana” initiative, SafeSource Direct has attributed its shutdown to poor market conditions. The announcement came just a day after employees rallied in hopes of saving the facility.

With operations winding down, the layoffs mark a major loss for the Broussard community, where SafeSource had once been seen as a symbol of local resilience during COVID-19.

Six companies in Wisconsin announced facility closures in Sept. 2025, this eliminated 747 employees across the state. The job cuts marked a steep rise from August, when just 93 workers were laid off. Despite the closures, Wisconsin’s unemployment rate held steady at 3.1 percent, below the national average of 4.3 percent.

• Action Printing, a subsidiary of JAL Equity Corp, began shutting down its facility in Fond Du Lac, with layoffs expected to continue through October 31. In total, 44 workers are affected as the company discontinues the product line produced at that location.

• Sheridan Random Lake also announced that it will permanently close its facility in Random Lake, impacting 104 employees. The company cited a significant downturn in business as the reason for the closure, with layoffs beginning November 21 and continuing into early 2026.

• Pregis Innovative Packaging, LLC disclosed plans to permanently close its Germantown facility, eliminating 48 jobs. The full closure is scheduled for April 30, 2026, though layoffs are set to begin earlier.

• Saputo Cheese USA confirmed it will close its Green Bay facility in December 2025, accelerating a previously announced plan to shut down in 2024. This decision affects 240 workers.

Air Wisconsin accounted for the largest number of layoffs, with 252 workers losing their jobs across its operations at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport and Appleton International Airport. The announcement follows the company’s agreement with Premier Shuttle Holdings, which has expressed interest in acquiring parts of Air Wisconsin’s operations and assets.

Finally, 360x Logistics LLC, based in Sturtevant, announced it will close its facility on October 4, laying off 59 employees. The company cited its inability to secure necessary insurance as the reason for the shutdown.

Together, these six companies — Action Printing, Sheridan Random Lake, Pregis Innovative Packaging, Saputo Cheese USA, Air Wisconsin, and 360x Logistics — underscore the economic challenges facing workers in Wisconsin, even as the state’s overall job market remains stable.

Boulder County, is eliminating 90 positions due to a budget deficit, including laying off 31 employees and cutting roughly 60 vacant jobs. The county is also offering a voluntary severance package through December 1.

Additional workforce reductions are expected at the Boulder County Housing Authority and Boulder County Public Health, though exact numbers have not been finalized. County officials said these changes are part of a broader plan to close a structural budget gap, with projections showing spending will outpace revenue without cuts of $30 million to $40 million over the next three years.

The 2026 proposed budget includes a $13.2 million general fund cut, affecting staffing and $4 million in operating expenses. While hiring freezes are in place, the county will maintain commitments to staff the jail’s new alternative sentencing facility and expansion.

Officials cited inflation, uncertain state and federal funding, and volatility in property and sales tax revenues as key pressures. Department heads were instructed to prioritize equity and the county’s strategic goals when determining positions to cut.

Northwest Farm Management (NWFM), based in Washington state, was mistakenly reported to be permanently laying off nearly 300 workers, sparking confusion in the agriculture community. CEO and co-founder Keith Veselka clarified that the notice was due to a new state law requiring layoff notifications, not a permanent reduction.

Veselka explained the jobs are seasonal, tied to apple harvests that end in November. Once the fruit is gone, contracts conclude, and hiring begins again the following year.

He stressed that nothing has changed in NWFM’s operations and that the company will continue its regular seasonal employment cycle.

United BioSource (UBC), a Pennsylvania-based health care technology services company, is laying off 123 employees tied to its Overland Park, Kansas, offices. The cuts include both on-site and remote workers in Kansas and Missouri.

The layoffs are scheduled to take effect around November 26, 2025, according to a notice filed with state officials. UBC has not yet commented publicly on the decision.

The company provides technology and services that support pharmaceutical and biotech companies, particularly in dr-g development and patient support programs.

Bloomberg Radio has carried out a round of layoffs that included several high-profile departures. Among those leaving is Michael Lysak, the company’s head of global radio and TV syndication. Also cut were Nancy Lyons, an afternoon business anchor with prior experience at NPR, AP Radio Network, and CBS Radio, and Jeff Bellinger, a longtime business journalist who previously worked at CNBC, ABC, and The Wall Street Journal.

Additionally, Tracy Johnke, who joined Bloomberg Radio in 2015 after working at CBS Radio and WTOP in Washington, D.C., is departing after a decade with the company.

The layoffs reflect broader changes within Bloomberg’s media operations, though the company has not disclosed the total number of employees affected.
