Lots of rumors for months .Anyone hear about anything for associates to leave .We heard so many different things form nothing to a triple Eisp offered to everyone that wants it .Anyone who has real info on the inside

Well folks the day has come as my last day here at fidelity. To this community I want to say thanks for the entertainment and the small pockets of actual true facts warning on layoffs. To those affected by the layoff I wish you the very best and hope for a speedy bounce back to a job less toxic and more pay. To those still at fidelity I hope you guys make it through the sh-t show that has ensued.

I'm considering applying for another internal job but not sure if I will get an interview. I want to ensure I get an interview before letting my boss know that I applied for a job.

Does anyone know if workday notifies your manager as soon as you apply for another job?

He-l, use up your vacation while you're at your new job!

Friday isn't usually a layoff day, so I'm thinking no, but if anybody knows for sure, please share.

Through the years I’ve amassed lots of AT&T stock. My frustration level with our so called leaders has never been higher. I’m ready to dump it all and invest in much better companies that will easily return more than the T dividend could ever deliver. Has anyone else decided the same? TY

Did I miss something about our deposits being different? None of my insurance was taken out, and my gross pay is less.

So many people out on paternity and extended maternity leaves. Why isn't their work reassigned? Can't get anything done because their piece is an input. Irritated that this is impacting my ability to deliver upon objectives.

stock soars to 400 in after hours market. None of us are getting raises, promotions, stock purchase plan or RSU's and are constantly being threatened by layoffs. JC and MD are getting rich and we're suffering, yet we do all the work. How long are we going to look like the fools that we are. We get a beating and then say thank you...may I have another. Apparently, people are no longer quiet quitting...or if they are....it is not working. The company itself seems to be getting stronger...like it feeds off of negativity.

Layoffs at Asante began this week. Employees reported cuts in IT, security, and nutrition departments. Asante CEO Tom Gessel previously warned of a projected $50 million deficit. He anticipated 300 or more job losses in fiscal year 2026. Asante officials declined to comment on the reported layoffs.

The Fayette County Public Schools board approved a tentative budget and a $95 million loan. This decision followed the firing of 120 FCPS employees. Many community members attended the meeting to voice frustrations. The district needs the loan to meet payroll by July. Financial misstatements dating back to 2008 contributed to the current budget deficit.

Wix is reducing its employee count by 20 percent. CEO Avishai Abrahami confirmed this decision. He cited the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. Fluctuating international currency values also added pressure. The company aims for faster decisions with fewer leadership layers.

I recently participated in a high-level meeting where it was communicated that Global intends to transition remaining employees to the vendor InfoSys through a “rebadging” process rather than conducting direct layoffs with severance packages.

During the discussion, concerns were raised regarding whether employee tenure, PTO accruals, bonuses, and severance eligibility would be honored under this transition. When specifically asked about severance obligations tied to rebadging, Matt Tracy reportedly stated: “It won’t be our problem anymore because they won’t be Global employees.”

While compensation may be presented as remaining “the same,” the loss of accrued PTO, annual bonuses, tenure recognition, and severance protections represents a substantial reduction in overall employee value and security. Many employees are concerned that this transition is structured to shift operational knowledge to InfoSys while reducing Global’s long-term financial obligations to existing staff.

Based on what was communicated, there appears to be a broader plan to transition significant portions of Operations to InfoSys over the next year.

For employees who have remained through repeated restructurings, increased workloads, uncertainty, and sustained organizational stress, this feels deeply unfair and dismissive of the loyalty and contributions that have kept these teams functioning.

Employees are not asking for special treatment. The expectation is simply fair treatment and reasonable protections during any transition process, including:

• Recognition of tenure
• PTO carryover or compensation
• Preservation of benefits where possible
• Fair severance protections
• Transparency regarding long-term employment expectations

Without the current teams, there is no operational continuity or transfer of institutional knowledge. Employees should not be expected to facilitate a transition that materially disadvantages them without meaningful protections in place.

This is not a call for insubordination. It is a request that employees be treated fairly, transparently, and with respect for the years of work and dedication they have given to the company.

For anyone who has had this happen, how hard is it to get to another department/team? How long did it take? Was reorged today and not thrilled with where they put me.

I am one of the so called lucky ones who did not get terminated but put in the redeployment pool and STILL have not heard as they have till June 30. Anyone else hear anything yet?

Every conversation comes with a little reminder that they can let you go whenever they feel like it. You are never secure or safe and they want you to know that. It's a control tactic and it is draining every bit of energy I have left.

According to estimates, the move is part of a broader global round of cuts, with the Israeli operation expected to be affected as well. PayPal’s Israeli site currently employs between 200 and 250 workers, most of them data scientists and software engineers. In addition to cybersecurity systems, the local teams also develop core components of the company’s user experience and mobile applications.

Every week I hear about somebody new being let go. No announcement, no explanation, nothing. I've started getting near panic attacks because of it. I want to go back to the time when job security was an actual thing.

Im sorry i dont mean literally but i have to question whats happening there because not many people i work with have a damn clue how to do their job and have no freakin work ethic what so ever. And its getting worse with each new recruit brought on board. That location has always been known as an issue so very shocking when it was announced a growth location but something has got to give. There are way too many of you that are just a red flag so what gives seriously

I'm getting really tired of seeing no benefits from good results and shouldering all consequences of the opposite. When everything was great, there was no upside for employees. Yet as soon as things started to fail, the downside was layoffs. And it keeps happening.

I don't know about other markets but here in Charlotte we have far too many people that are assigned to work in the Uptown area but use the Ballantyne office more than they do their assigned building in Uptown.

It's definitely, a pain in the rear because there is only a handful of drop in spaces on first come first serve. People who drop in, in most cases have no respect of their surroundings and talk loud and have conference calls on the speaker. Not to mention they use the drop in rooms all day as if its their office when it should be used if you need to be in a confidential meeting.

Not mention they don't clean up after themselves. I can go on and on but I do hope something gets done about it because drop in people think just because someone that has a assigned seat and isn't in the office that day , that they are privy to use that space and/or remove some of their equipment to another workspace.

I actually hope the WPE applies to being at your assigned building for the minimum days.

The NMC is currently sending jobs to India and forcing NMC employees to train them. No surprise that VZW is making its own employees train their replacements. The field and regions are going to love Habibi calling in for an issue and not being able to understand them.

Columbia College recently laid off six tenured faculty members. This action addresses declining enrollment and a growing budget deficit. The college has now cut 54 full-time faculty since January 2025. The layoffs impacted the Schools of Communication and Culture and Design. Affected faculty will receive pay through the next academic year.

NPR implemented staff reductions following a round of voluntary buyouts. The total workforce reduction amounts to fewer than 30 employees. Most employees accepted buyouts, but 10 journalists were laid off. The content division saw a cut of approximately 4%. These actions address financial pressures from declining revenues.

I have been a employee of Oracle for 10+ years in Asia Pacific - many jurisdictions in APAC have failry strong labour/labor laws.

Sales targets have over the past 2-3 years increased substantially, to the point one could reasonably claim employee harrassment or "setting the employee up to fail"

Question: Would you bother trying to fight FY27 targets as un-reasonable, or leave with your head held high and maybe return when the job market favors the employee rather than employer?

I put all my ducks in a row to the best of my ability, but I'll be honest here, I've started thinking that being laid off would be better than staying here. It's not normal to have layoffs all the time. They want us to think it is, but it's not. The job is not supposed to be the source of so much stress. It's really not. I remember a time when it wasn't, even here. And I'm just so tired of it.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse expects no layoffs or parish closures. This comes as the diocese emerges from bankruptcy proceedings. Many other dioceses have faced closures and staff reductions. The Syracuse diocese filed for bankruptcy in June 2020 due to s-x abuse lawsuits. A $176 million compensation fund was created for abuse survivors.

BNY’s “transformation” machine keeps producing the same outcome: people doing real work get tossed aside, then retroactively labeled as “not a fit” to justify decisions already made in a conference room weeks earlier. The script never changes — strong reviews, solid delivery, then suddenly you’re recast or discarded as the inflexible obstacle to whatever new operating model changes leadership is worshipping this quarter.

And the part about “other opportunities”? Classic BNY fiction. They don’t offer options; they don’t offer severance… only a storyline to protect the org chart. Meanwhile, the people who kept the place running are left trying to rebuild careers while BNY congratulates itself for “modernization.”

Your experience isn’t an outlier — it’s the business model. Employees give decades; leadership gives euphemisms. And the saddest part is how many careers are derailed or forced to end earlier than planned… not with recognition, but with a carefully crafted narrative that erases the truth and replaces it with some delusion of BNY's visionary leadership and innovation.

The very best of luck. I say luck because there isn't a science to our RIFs. By all accounts there'll be a lot of people hurt tomorrow. Stay strong you WILL emerge better.
For those wishing for it, I hope you get RIF'd and collect that severance.

Company efficiency move, not for employees benefit - ?!
Discuss all the ways this negatively impacts employees - Go!

It’s amazing to me how dismissive the ELT has been with our RTO mandate. We know from other companies that this initiative is often a huge failure and unfair burden on employees. Women are almost always impacted more than their male counterparts. My experience in HR has been one of the worst I’ve seen in my career. The communications are incredibly poor and borderline disrespectful. Since the initial announcement, I have not seen Suzan answer a question directly, but rather punt the heat and responsibility to her leadership team. She’s also stopped doing Q&A altogether in meetings she’s led. We are less than a week away with almost no questions answered, and our human capital division meeting today was so poor that it actually raised more questions than answers. Rather than discussing direct concerns with Monday looming, we spent time celebrating an arrogant partner’s records from 25 years ago and discussing employee discounts. We still have no word on assigned floors or desks. We still have no solutions for parking. Unbelievable.

I don’t understand how Cigna is hiring for customer service agents when a mass layoff was just done, along with possible upcoming layoffs with IFP/Evicore? Like why not move over the agents who are at risk of losing their job to the customer service department the company is hiring for? What’s the point in hiring others when you have internal people with experience? Why are we hiring anyways with current layoffs? I don’t understand the moves this company is making. Nothing makes sense anymore.

They were able to secure internal transfer but got RIF notice initially.

GL28 senior engineer and a senior director

Up to double the previous number from the last round.

Hopefully all the illegal aliens will be shipped back so we can get on with stabilizing a western company.

If you join citi after severance ended, do you have pay them back?

I used to honest to God believe that if I worked hard, stayed late, and gave everything to my job, I'd be valued and protected. I've learned the hard way that this isn't true. Ford will happily extract every ounce of energy you've got, praise you for your dedication, and then fire you with no notice the moment it helps their bottom line. And they won't feel bad about it. They won't even think about you again. Hustle culture's a sickness.
