#goodbyeemail

…a few folks just quietly disappeared, for the lack of better words, which is super odd because all we heard was from their manager, to the extend of “such such has decided to leave the company”…what is happening, like I didn’t even get another farewell email, you know, people normally do that (I don’t think any of them have anything against me to leave me out of a professional farewell)…does the company have policy against a farewell email when people leave? It bugs big time, because there have been half dozen of these incidents throughout this year (and they couldn’t possibly all hate me, I don’t think)…anyone else has experienced this? Thanks!

Buh, buh, byeeeee!!!!!

My manager has unofficially told me that I am impacted. I'm getting prepared for this day next week.

May god bless all of you.

Finally happened I got my Golden ticket hahahahahahaha I'm free momma, I'm free

This is my last week in Verizon (Europe). In some ways I am sad, as I will miss my colleagues that I have worked with for the last 25+ years. In other ways, I am happy, as I will not miss what has happened to Verizon and what it has become, especially with amount of staff who have already been let go and those that will be following soon. Good luck to those who have managed to survive the latest cull.

Strategic Data Analyst here 14 years with the company gone. I know Orlando got hit too recently. Good luck everyone it's already begun.

I've been working here at Walgreens for 4.5 years, never got a promotion so wasn't surprised that I got let go. How do I feel? I felt numb by it knowing the culture as i process the news. Layoffs have happened yearly since I joined.
Well moving on now.

Farewell

End of an era…

About time!

Thank God it's finally here. Good luck to those that stayed

resigned today. Best. Feeling. Ever. to be out of this absolute mess. Out of textbooks. No more professors and stupid bookstores and tech that doesn’t work.

After 13 years with VMW/AVGO/Omnissa I finally found a new role and left. It was a long time coming and honestly my only regret is that I didn't leave sooner. The management I was under was useless and my role kept getting worse and worse. I knew Kevin was being pushed out but to see the CEO replaced also helped confirm my move away. I wish all my former peers the best of luck but to me it looks like a sinking ship.

Good riddance and bon voyage to everyone fired and officially kicked-off the IBM payroll in any shape, form or manner today. It has been quite a journey, but I’m sure IBM will somehow manage to find a way to continue functioning without all of you.

Honestly, I’m excited for the next chapter: pretending like you never existed, forgetting your names, forgetting the projects you worked on, and acting like none of your contributions ever happened. After all, that seems to be the preferred corporate tradition around here.

Please don’t take it personally. Once you’re off the payroll, you apparently become yesterday’s problem and eventually, yesterday’s memory.

I’m sure the leadership team will proudly explain how this is all part of the strategy, how the organization is “positioned for the future,” and how the people leaving were somehow conveniently no longer critical to the business.

So farewell, former colleagues. Thank you for your service, your late nights, your projects, your knowledge, and all those years of pretending that any of this mattered.

Now that you’re gone, please understand that we will immediately begin the difficult process of pretending we never knew you.

Good luck out there. And remember: IBM may forget you and you won’t be welcome back.

Good luck, everyone.

Today is my last with the company after 11 years. I took the VSP but I decided i didnt want to wait till May of 2027. The money would be nice but its not end all be all. Im in a good place to do this. Wish you all the best whatever this company throws at you, it changes like every hour and the direction isnt looking good for all you hard working people who are sticking it out. Y'all take care.

Yes sir. After trying other opportunities and nothing clicking, I have decided to move for the company. I hope it will be a good one for the family, as we will get a lot of social life, good housing and better opportunities than where I stay. I still got 20 years to retire. So let’s see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Good luck y'all. Absolutely hate to see this.

Losing both my direct and skip level managers in a single layoff round I survived. Both were complete a--holes, so to say that was one of the best days of my life would be an understatement. Yes, there was a lot of confusion and issues until everything settled down, but it was worth it.

Severance for the July lay off just hit! I can oficially say I'm done with this place. Good luck to everyone still there! With the likes of Rebecca Grattan and all the other incompetent leaders you are going to need it.

Still at Oracle.

Layoffs galore.

This board always follow the same pattern: anxiety before the event, urgency during notifications, this is followed by anger, disappointment, uncertainty. Sometimes there is some relief afterwards.

Cannot change the beast. Oracle will Oracle, there will be layoffs again.

Count our blessings, enjoy your work if you can, if you cannot try to find something else. I've had it and I am looking around - this round sealed it for me.

Good luck all...

I told my manager to put me on the list and here I am laid off. It’s time for a new start and I couldn’t be happier. They did sc--w us a bit on health coverage, it’s done in 3 days.

Really interesting LinkedIn post from dr parsons. Sad to see him go.

I resigned from Cisco over a month ago and I can say life is much better. That's all.

textbook layoff, saw it coming but not this soon to me
cya L3 thank you for nothing

Good luck everyone!!

A few of my friends/ coworkers are leaving the company instead of relocating. I’m sad to lose great people. We did big things together and am close friends with many. I respect their choices and wish them well.
Hard to expect people to uproot their families when more layoffs in Houston are expected.
How many did not relocate? Is there %? Seems like a majority but may be my team.
They will be missed. Good luck.

being cut from paypal was like being freed from a dumpster fire. managed to find something way better and never looked back.

And I couldn't be more grateful. That place is a disaster, and getting out was the push I needed to find something better. Being let go feels like a punishment when it happens, but with time you realize it's a gift. Go find something that doesn't drain you. You'll thank yourself later.

In TRM and part of risk - my game with BNY ended today. Was. Good stint for 14 years. But have no regrets.

Just stopped by to thank the current employees for keeping the ship afloat long enough for my pension to clear and hit my IRA. I wish you all the best. Severance is a great thing after hitting the MR75. Good luck to you all!

Finally and officially. After all these years of dedicated work, I leave with no recognition, no empathy, no real thank you, and not even an opportunity to say goodbye to my team or colleagues or people I knew. Just a simple, “We'll contact you with instructions to return your equipment” and a forced “thank you for your time with the company.” No goodbye. No ceremony. No acknowledgment of working ten years. Just a "log off and be done." WOW. I never imagined I'd be treated as insignificant as I was by management after giving so many years to this company. It honestly feels like they had been waiting for this moment and wanted me gone long ago. But you know what? I'm finally out. And that's what matters now. Overall the company has become more toxic and unpredictable. In retrospect, I'm glad I'm finally gone.

It's been a pleasure working with you all I had some great times and consider myself an overachiever but these last few months have drained all my energy. I wish everyone the best, specially those that stay behind. Over and out.

.. I appreciated going out like the ending of an 80s movie .. middle fingers up and walking away. Good riddance!

Layoffs today, best of luck everyone!

Just found out the upcoming Sept 15 layoff list for our team is being decided by the part-time, remote people manager after the recent reorg.

It just proves how toxic and out-of-touch leadership has become. This company has completely deteriorated and lost its way. Honestly, getting laid off might be a blessing in disguise at this point. It’s time to say goodbye to this place. Good luck to everyone on the 15th.

What is going on in Warsaw. I see lots of people sending goodbye notices today. Which departments were hit and how bad is it?

ACCEPTED. OUT THIS BI--H SEPTEMBER 4TH.

When did they announce these 9000 layoffs? Where are they? Nothing is mentioned in the meetings they have.
Good luck to those affected.

Left after 5 years, no regrets. New role pays 18% more and I actually take my lunch breaks.
