Who has had their hours cut a week before belk is having a job fair again?

When you read that we're going to have the worst year since 2022 you know we're about to see a correction. There are a few ways to achieve that, including canceling shows and laying people off. I think we'll see both, and it'll be a bloodbath. The golden days of Netflix are over.

I have not heard of anyone yet. Hoping it was a rumor.

The Coshocton County Sheriff's Office is warning of potential job losses by year's end. This situation arises from a significant funding shortfall of approximately $280,000. The required funds are needed for wages, equipment like tasers, fuel, and jail operations. Without this additional county funding, the sheriff's office may be forced to reduce its staff. This could impact both county-wide services and contracted law enforcement for the City of Coshocton.

Apparently Rich and the Board are planning to sell MOA with the executives going away with Hugh packages.

With all the layoffs and assumed more coming,cutting of benefits,reducing staff,ETC, it should be obvious that they are making MOA more sellable.

Sure sounds like some people got hit. What was the excuse given this time?

How were bonus budgets this year compared to last year? Seems most people are saying they just had a decrease or even lowest IPF in their Cisco tenure. I also had a decrease but wonder how much of that is performance and how much is budget based.

No M&A possible until after 2027 but why should that stop the cutting to hire this position

David Ellison cut about 20% of Paramount employees when he bought it. How deep will he cut us now that the deal is going through?

Anyone know if there will be more cuts this year for OI marketing?

The San Luis Obispo Tribune has announced it will not be making candidate endorsements for the upcoming election. This decision stems directly from recent significant layoffs within the newspaper's staff. Five journalists, including the opinion editor, were let go as part of broader cuts at McClatchy. The opinion editor confirmed the paper lacks the necessary time and staff to conduct interviews and write endorsements. These layoffs are a consequence of a restructuring plan driven by declining revenue.

Tulsa Public Schools is exploring several options to address a significant financial deficit. These potential changes, which could take effect as early as the 2027-28 school year, include closing small schools, increasing class sizes, and reducing access to services.

Administrators are seeking community input through information sessions and a survey before presenting final recommendations to the board in October.

If Fidelity can’t afford raises for “associates” (only a dum--ss would think that’s a good name for employees), than they shouldn’t be able to increase the profit they make from us. No raises based on inflation, but we also can’t keep the lights on if we don’t charge you more.

Better you leave if you thunk things are not great there.
They wil cut people adn adjust their pay for others pay hike and RSUs.

layoffs coming soon, is there going to be another wave of cuts?

Apple has recently laid off a small number of employees from its Fitness+ team. These cuts specifically impacted staff working on audio features for the service. The company is reportedly reassessing the future direction of Apple Fitness+. This move is seen as the initial step in broader, more significant changes planned for the service. While the service itself is not currently slated for discontinuation, its content release frequency may decrease.

Asking for a friend as it appears the states have settled

I am hearing about many people let go.. How deep were the cuts?

A rough timeline?

Three different articles posted that more layoffs are rumored to be coming by end of the month. Reportedly to include HR, Product/Tech and other operational

Every single one brings layoffs. Somehow roles which have nothing to do with it are always classified as redundant (I've seen it happen again and again) and people are kicked out. Every single time it's used as an excuse to get rid of good, hardworking people.

Why are we paying people to sit in meetings where nothing is ever decided and laying off good folks who actually do the work here? BP has plenty of fat that needs to be cut, but somehow it's never them who end up on the chopping block. When will that finally change?

I'm hearing there'll be more cuts in October. I'm honestly not sure how many more people they can cut without the whole system crashing, but I guess they want to find that out. Anyhow, I was just wondering if somebody knows more about the next round. Please share if you do.

Will there be more?

Another round of layoffs in CCG with an excuse of budget cuts.

I have been impacted when I was promised promotion next year. They said I will get promoted because of my performance then why layoff( confused)

I worked so hard and still got laid off, this is depressing😔

I was looking through the official 2026 h1b / lca data published by the DOL (it's mandatory to disclose to them). the dol publishes these public disclosure files for h1b, h1b1 and E3 applications.

for jpmorgan chase, i used the 2026 employer data available through h1bhq:

https://h1bhq.com/search?employerSlug=JPMORGAN-CHASE-and-co-2&fiscalYear=2026

the figures below come from that dataset.

jpmorgan chase is cutting us jobs while filing for 1,843 h-1b positions...

this is the part i have trouble understanding.

jpmorgan chase has been cutting roles in the US. at the same time, the 2026 h-1b data shows 1,843 records for jpmorgan/chase.

the average listed wage is $162,992 (healthy)

this is not mostly a handful of unusual specialist positions. a large portion of the filings are for technology jobs.

some of the most common titles:

278 - vice president, lead software engineer
158 - associate, software engineer iii
102 - software engineer
102 - vice president, sr lead software engineer
60 - financial analyst
54 - vice president, sr manager of software engineering
40 - vice president, product manager
28 - business intelligence analyst
24 - vice president, manager of software engineering
23 - data scientist
22 - vice president, applied ai ml lead

the geographic concentration is also interesting.

400 - new york, ny
348 - jersey city, nj
304 - plano, tx
219 - wilmington, de
176 - columbus, oh
71 - tampa, fl
55 - palo alto, ca
51 - san francisco, ca
47 - chicago, il
42 - houston, tx

80% of the records are concentrated in just NY, jersey city, plano, wilmington and columbus.

i understand why the h-1b program exists...companies sometimes need skills they say they cannot readily find in the domestic labor market.

but that raises an obvious question when a company is also reducing its us workforce.

if the co has enough work to sponsor hundreds of software engineers, data specialists, product managers and other professionals, why are employees in the US being laid off or having their positions eliminated?

are these completely different skills and organizations?

are laidoff employees being considered for these openings?

are positions being eliminated in one part of the company while essentially similar positions are being filled through h-1b sponsorship elsewhere?

or is this simply part of a broader strategy to change where and how the company sources its workforce?

i am not saying every h1b filing represents a replacement for an american worker.

but... 1,843 records in one year (we have 3 mo to go), with an average listed wage of nearly $163K, is large enough that employees deserve to understand how this hiring fits with the layoffs... and job cuts they are seeing around them.

what are you seeing? are teams actually short of people? are laidoff positions being refilled?

are h1b workers joining areas that have recently had reductions?

specific teams, locations and job titles would be relevant.

Walgreens keeps cutting. who is actually doing the work now? When someone leaves your team, do they give you headcount for replacement just divide the work among everyone who is left? The later seems to be the case most of the time but I guess things are different within each group or in the store.

Texas WARN notices posted - 1,459 workers across 3 employers

New Texas WARN notices dated September 8, 2026 show layoffs affecting 1,459 workers across three employers.

If you work for one of these employers and have additional details on the affected locations, teams, roles, severance, or layoff timing, add them below so others can better understand the scope of the cuts.

EA has officially been acquired for $55 billion and is going private after 36 years as a publicly traded company.

The buyers are Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners, the investment firm run by Jared Kushner.

The deal has now cleared regulatory approval and closed.

For anyone wondering what this means for employees, there has been no announcement of layoffs tied specifically to the acquisition.

That said, EA has already gone through multiple rounds of cuts. The company eliminated about 5% of its workforce in 2024 and cut several hundred more jobs earlier this year. EA had around 14,500 employees as of March 2025.

Going private also means EA will no longer have to report quarterly results publicly.

So, nothing new has been announced on layoffs yet, but this is obviously something worth watching closely now that the acquisition is complete.

If anyone is hearing about reorganizations, team changes, hiring freezes, or cuts following the deal, please post what you're seeing.

Welcome to the new age. Dinosaurs are having increased bumps in pay checks and bonus eating the dinner of G4's and G5's. These dinosaurs are ruthless and shameless. While principal, directors and VP's are claiming the credit of the work done by G4's and G5's.

Just saw that TEBG quality cut 4 of its managers/directors. I assume the plan is for that VP to bring in his own croonies to do the role. Meanwhile the rest of us are all waiting for someone to be announced to be able to get resources assigned and projects approved. What a joke.

Per Modetn Heslthcare- HCSC is cutting the Medicare advantage footprint in half already. Why have we not been told this?

No cuts today? It was all done yesterday?

They keep milking the cash cow. Training budgets slashed , only new employees are allowed to attend now. Oil changes at 7500 miles . Credit card $ charges limited. No safety meeting meals. When will it ever stop ?
