Fantastic to see Shannon in Ireland this week with the announcement around growth (despite hating who she was standing alongside) . One thing we are in Ireland is a mecca for IT, put simply if you do not have an Irish presence in Europe, globally shut the doors. Let's go!!

Now we’re back to the usual agenda of outsourcing whenever possible!

“The Patient Care Systems hub will develop cloud-based platforms and clinical software to support connected care for patients with implanted cardiac devices, according to a Thursday statement from economic development agency IDA Ireland. The investment will add 85 jobs initially. New roles at the site will include leadership, software engineering and systems reliability positions.”

Anyone from ireland here? Were u guys affected by the layoffs?

Will this endless merry-go-round of job cuts ever stop?

Heard on the grapevine Hugo is being moved to Parkmore Galway and the other Facility in Galway will be closed. A lot of good people will be on the chopping block. Every year there have been RIF’s but this year will be the big one.

"Restructuring proposal which may affect several roles in Ireland, provisionally including yours"

Does anyone know how much was the redundancy last time?

I heard it's starting on the 28th of April and that M4s have a list since the beginning of April.

Is it true?

Is there layoff happening at Cork site in Ireland this week? What groups are impacted?

Anyone laid off in Q1 confirm what it is?

Any news on this year’s numbers? Last year we heard of 113 employees getting the axe. Has the consultation already started?

Someone I know is an ebilling employee at hertz In ireland and has informed me that they are being laid off as part of a group of 78 people. What's left of this department is left to train workers in India who be training bots to do the ebilling instead.

Keep fighting the good fight. Ireland coming apart at the seams

I havent heard anything happening in Ireland, any news? I see lots of OU's been hit today. Scary times ahead.

R&D jobs being cut in the Athlone campus.

Can you comment on the package

New push. Collective redundancy. First round today with many more to come this year. Not based on performance as all the usual wasters still hanging on. If you are still there you need to jump immediately. Dublin to fully close by the end of the year. Ireland Employment Law a massive issue. Everyone engage your solicitors do not be bullied. Give Bravo a financial headache. WRC scares them.

In recent meeting, we were told to expect all current and new Epic positions moving to Ireland. Apparently Epic is Ireland's national system. Never assume your job is secure. They will find a way to outsource when ever possible. I wouldn't be surprised if our entire division gets sold off soon.

Xerox to Close Ireland Toner Manufacturing Plant by End of 2025. (Where did you hear this?)

Cork, Liverpool, Poole how are you doing? Any updates on when offices expect to close? Are any of you offered BAH contracts or relocation?

Wexford employees who are now BAH, did you get a new BAH contract where it says you may have to return to office or how is it working for you?

The next round is coming, not as massive, 1k and above, focus on Ireland and India and the back to the states.
Bookmark it.

Got laid off yesterday. Have been working in synopsys from last 3.6yrs. Not sure what range of severance package should expect?
No formal HR communication!
Any help regarding Irish benifits?

Anyone left in Galway after recent layoffs?

Can be better, just saying

So far, it seems like folks in Ireland have been having a rough week. Nothing yet here, as far as I can tell. The newest rumor is that the big round might happen in the second half of November.

I honestly don’t know what to think anymore. This whole ordeal - the escalating rumors, the lack of official communication, and the high likelihood of layoffs, whether large or not - is making me really, really stressed and exhausted.

top 5 countries

USA 638 - remaining 30437
China 601 - remaining 6285
India 304 - remaining 20478
Ireland 93 - remaining 3684
Egypt 91 - remaining 526

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

Any updates on Ireland? What's going on?

Greetings! This is my first time posting here. I have heard through the grapevine that RIF's are coming to EMEA in October for some of the Irish sites. Can anybody confirm if this is true?

Looks like the whole sales team was axed, and some tech support people were laid off too

1 day after the execs flew over from the US to tell us about how they were happy with the work and with the growing headcount. would have been more decent to just not say anything...

how is it looking in other locations?

Wasn’t it great to see the person that represents Verizon to Congress to help offshore jobs, go to Ireland where those American jobs were moved to and celebrate it on LinkedIn? Leadership personified! Exhilarating and exciting indeed. Can’t wait to see what lives and communities they offshore next!

The town hall meeting in Ireland was very brief, lasting less than seven minutes.
Employees were not given an opportunity to ask questions, and participants could only see the two organizers on the call. Attendance was limited to the lines of business directly impacted.

Key points communicated to employees:
A Collective Redundancy Scenario will take place.
No specific organization was named.
113 roles in Ireland will be affected:
14 in Finance
21 in Marketing
78 in Engineering/Technical
The consultation period will begin on Friday, 19 September.

54 employees were laid off on September 15 with 33 of them being shifted to India. Deep cuts made to US based engineering teams, especially those working at headquarters. Pretty much confirms that the goal is to shift most, of not all, development work to India. AI presence will largely remain in Ireland

I could've swore this was posted. Seems the HR minions were busy at the behest of our great leader and his absolute horror at any bad publicity. Anyway we've that big day out next week with the lad for D:Ream to cheer us all up after all our friends and collegues have lost their jobs. Unlike their song I doubt "Things can only get better" for ANI.

Anyone know what the current package is for Ireland ?

Does anybody know whats ahead for Dublin?
A lot have gone in the last week but are more cuts ahead in the short to medium term?
Have also heard they are trying to cut the package from 6 weeks to 2 weeks per year in the next round.
Is this legal or can anyone give any feedback from a legal standpoint?

Again layoffs. Sales people numbers going down. Ireland office kicked out lots of people. Crazy again.
