They are doing a good job already of sabotaging themselves but it is time to help the BTC underperform. Let the sabotage begin!

1200 jobs cut in Europe. Brussels office closing. Moves to Antwerp and Prague.

200 job cuts in Prague, but taking in ~90 from Brussels.

Singapore office to close. Employees moving to refinery with cuts.

900 cuts at Imperial oil (all above-field, 350 from sites, rest from Calgary)
Calgary office closing, employees moved to Strathcona.

20% reduction in headcount in ExxonMobil Canada (separate from Imperial Oil)

Employees are our greatest asset*

• Provided we can pay them peanuts in developing nations

I was fortunate to get a job in the last wave, although it was nothing that I had applied for. The only information I have on the role is the few lines of generic description that I was sent after the fact. I don't even know who my boss is. Again, I'm glad to have a job, but it leaves me wondering... what now?

They show a minimum of days in office of 4 days a week. Check it out yourself in job search. I just looked at a random job posting that said remote in Minnesota

Salesforce is at the front of this shift, with CEO Marc Benioff peddling his “Agentforce” AI tool and recently touting an AI-driven cut of 4,000 “heads” from his customer support ranks. But this didn’t entail a layoff of 4,000 workers, the company said. Inside the San Francisco tech giant, there’s now a growing effort to soften AI’s job replacement blow.

just stop seeking Tech Jobs in India. It is not worth the time and money spent acquiring short shelf life skills

The job market isn’t as bad as everyone’s been saying. Or maybe it was and it scared people off from applying, and now there are plenty of opportunities again. I don’t know for sure. What I do know is that I had several interviews lined up right away, and within a month I got a good offer. The pay’s about the same, but I get better benefits and, more importantly, the culture seems so much better than Humana. Go and apply, folks. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

If you agree post it.

Well Ron , you have lied to the flock! State street is hiring contractors and you know what that means there are no internal jobs they want you to quit or get terminated so you don’t get a package. Bravo suspensions, how cheap can it get?

Quote the Raven never more!

Back in the day, people got laid off and then hired back. It was a worker shuffle. A new person would join while another left, but the top brass always stayed because the product wasn't going anywhere.

Today, In AI era, entire roles are being eliminated, not just individuals. The jobs are gone for good. So, if your VP is gone, the product is likely next. You'll be reassigned, and if you can't fit into a new project, you're out.

The old rules are changing. In this new market, ops teams are leaner, and real-time coding is the norm. Everyone is expected to be hands-on, so there's no room for backseat politics. New roles are constantly being created, so your ability to adapt and fit into the changing market is everything.

Don't stay in useless legacy projects. RUN. If not

Expect more layoffs ...

I started one on my phone to motivate me to find a new job. No leads yet though. I cannot go a month without a job financially.

As a part of Enterprise Reimagine, I was moved to a different role within the same division without change in title, level or pay. But I am not that excited about my new role. Do I have the option of applying for one of the internal open roles?

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs?

I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs were released.

So is the process like a shark tank? Talent Card flashes up on screen, advocate stands up and addresses the group which has your job owner in it? A bidding war erupts?

Or is this a “we will make the square peg fit in this round hole”, or a “we will fill the square hole with whatever square we can find”, or a “square holes don’t exist because all the square pegs have already been set aside”?

I’ll be ok till the end of the year, I think. I’d rather not move to H-Town as I am actively avoiding it for the time being, however it’s becoming clear the industry is centralizing there. I know…brilliant deduction.

2.5 weeks left. Unfortunately, my “open for work” will always be visible to hiring managers from now on. Loyalty is but a faint memory.

So we've got the infamous rto spreadsheet tracker, we've got the big brother spying on employees and we've got the 80% job elimination project...

Does all of this represent one "plan"?

I created a virtual environment test bench for our local office at first, to test Xstore Office in order to replace our bug testing on real hardware. It got so popular that it is now used in a global environment. Never once did I get a raise or promotion, and now they axed me entirely. Thanks Oracle.

Can anyone share any credible info about who's been impacted? Which teams are changing, etc.? Things are too quiet right now.

• Effective October 28, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) will lay off 5.8% of its staff, affecting 439 positions.
• The cuts are part of a strategic plan to address financial strain and support long-term sustainability.
• CHLA leadership says the decision was driven by external pressures, including reduced Medi-Cal reimbursement rates.

It was made very clear in today’s town hall meeting

I'm curious why folks were laid off this time? Is it tenure (expensive), performance (low ratings), or simply political (did not kiss a-s)?

I’m at my wits’ end. I’ve been trying to find something, anything, just to ease my mind, but no luck. The job market is an absolute nightmare right now.

I’m so sorry this is happening to us. I hope everyone will be able to find something else, and soon.

Another day of major cuts across Oracle Database development and other groups. A lot of highly skilled, experienced people with very relevant expertise are being let go. Top performers gone. It looks like the impact is falling more heavily on senior, more experienced employees—though it’s clearly been structured carefully from a legal standpoint. Oracle is not the company it used to be. Sad.

Hyatt Layoffs continue this time in Europe/Mainz Office. EAME Digital Marketing and Sales team trimmed (~15 employees) as Hyatt reduces its corporate footprint in Europe.

Apparently they have laid off sales people in the US and Europe region.Does anyone know or have heard what other departments this may affect?

A major layoff is coming to Colorado Springs. TeKnowledge, a global technology company, will permanently cut over 300 jobs at its Colorado Springs facility.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be nearly as worried about my job here, or about any of us finding new ones soon. We’re so cornered, and it’s a terrible feeling. Good luck to us all.

I was let go this morning after 11 years. From what I understand, they are looking at a major cuts across the board.

Everyone watched it yet? 20-25% through 2026.

largest layoff in FIS history. Directors, Senior directors, grunts like me, etc... maddening.

Which areas?

let go after 26 years in one of the DB team. Lot of people got impacted in DB org.

To meet FY26 goals, the decision has been made to let you go.

15yrs, gone in a blink.

Last day 9/22.
