I have a lot of bad things to say about Dell, but pay is not one of them. What's the biggest jump you've ever gotten?

How the he-l are we supposed to leave Oracle if companies are rescinding offers a day before people are supposed to start? Someone posted about accepting a role back in February. He did the paperwork, got the start date, told his family, gave his notice and then they rescinded it eight days later. No explanation, just sorry. How is anyone supposed to plan their life when this can happen?

What’s with the multiple FSE job openings currently in the US? Isn’t the plan to fully move to Unisys?

Do ye still accept people from outside of the US? Would it be worth a try?

They hire people to work on a contract they won. When the contract work is completed nine out of ten times, they lay the people off. Most the contracts this company wins are short term.
You would have more job security accepting a job at Home Deport than you would ever have in accepting a job at Booz Allen.

I am a US citizen. I did an interview for Lead IT Analyst role. It is a remote role in the US. The 2 interviewers were Indians (Telugus). I answered each and every question correctly and I didn’t get the role.

Could the role have gone to someone from their community?

Is there a way to find out?

I've got an offer from a startup. The role is a step up, more senior title, and more interesting work, but my total compensation would drop by about forty five percent compared to where I am now. The difference is equity. If they IPO in the next few years, I could make way more than I'm making now. If they don't, or if the stock is worthless, I've just taken a massive pay cut for nothing. I'm trying to decide if I'm crazy for even considering it. I've got a mortgage and a kid. Stability matters. But I'm also miserable at Open Text. Has anyone taken this kind of risk and had it pay off?

#AI-mad Verizon to continue with cuts after CEO's jobs warning
Verizon CEO Dan Schulman has now completed the 13,000 layoffs he promised last November, but more could lie ahead. [ Lightreading 📰].

Iain Morris,International Editor,Light Reading — April 30, 2026

Company bosses occasionally praise their employees in public and note the importance of talent. That doesn't quite ring true when they are cutting thousands of jobs, as many are, which might partly explain why lauding AI is now much more fashionable. Attributing job cuts to the solid efforts of the new AI recruit, which bosses have anthropomorphized by saying it is an "agent" or does "reasoning," is even trendier.

It's quite a turnaround from a few years ago, when linking #automation, let alone AI, to job losses was as taboo as nudity in the workplace. No, no, managers frowned, new tech will merely liberate workers from drudgery and provide time for more satisfying pursuits. This was obviously before generative #AI (GenAI) threatened to liberate content creators from creating content so they could spend more time cleaning laptop screens or making tea – until GenAI turned out to be a duff substitute prone to mendacity.

Regardless, investors, if not employees, like the sound of a super-lean and highly profitable company run by AI rather than people. Fearful of missing out on a new tech bonanza, authorities have stopped worrying about the risks and jumped. Suddenly, the hallucinating software developed by a strange cult of effective altruists is being foisted on the world's population by governments and companies of all types. No longer taboo, the linkage between #AI and #joblessness has been normalized in that process.

Into this maelstrom stepped Dan Schulman on October 6 last year, when he was appointed CEO of Verizon, one of the biggest telecom operators in the US (and, therefore, the world). It has been a major US employer, with more than 180,000 members of staff back in 2012. Yet by the time Schulman joined, just 100,000 were left after multiple rounds of restructuring and #layoffs.

Schulman's Verizon shrank even more rapidly during his first three months in charge and already seems to feature more agents than The Matrix. It's "where we have agent-building capabilities," was how he described part of Verizon's AI tech stack to equity analysts on the company's earnings call this week. Another layer "is where we deploy agents," he continued. The cost cutting looks set to go on.

'Never send a human to do a machine's job'

In the last decade, most of the job losses at #Verizon have had very little to do with AI and almost nothing to do with its generative version, which did not even exist until around three-and-a-half years ago, when the company was already down to fewer than 120,000 employees. Even so, another 30,000 had disappeared by the end of last year, including about 10,000 since Schulman took over. In November, he had warned staff of plans to cut 13,000 jobs. All those now seem to have been cut. "We're running leaner with the 13,000 reduction behind us," said Tony Skiadas, Verizon's CFO, on the earnings call.

I’m considering an offer from Nielsen in NYC within their Consumption Products / media measurement organization, focused on driving product adoption, campaign activation, and incremental revenue growth across client accounts.

Is it worth it or hard pass?

Was lucky enough to get a new role before my WARN period ended and I was wondering if it’s a bad idea to update LinkedIn before getting it

The PGA Tour recently posted new job openings. This occurred just days after 56 roles were eliminated. New positions include a head of business development and a director of international media. Executive Laura Neal also moved to a new role as EVP/Strategic Philanthropy. Tournament director Todd Fleming was among the recent layoffs.

If the bank asked you to come back, same pay, same position, as if you never left, would you do it?

Then I ended up with a better job, better pay, and a much healthier view of work. You’re going to be okay.

I’m writing this because a few months ago I was the person doom-scrolling this forum at 2:00 a.m., searching for some stranger to tell me my life wasn’t over. So here it is: your life is not over.

When I got laid off, I felt embarrassed, angry, and lost. People kept saying it’s not personal, but it felt personal when the job I’d built part of my identity around was suddenly gone.

For a few days, I completely spiraled. Then I got practical. I figured out my money situation first. Put down everything on paper, including severance, savings, bills, unemployment, everything. Once I knew my actual runway, I stopped panicking as much. Then I started reaching out to people. Former coworkers, old managers, friends, vendors, anyone I trusted. I simply said I’d been impacted by layoffs and was looking for roles in my field.

Amd people showed up for me. A former coworker referred me and an old manager offered to be a reference. Another friend helped clean up my resume. At first I applied everywhere, which was a mistake because it just made me feel rejected faster. So I narrowed it down to roles I actually wanted, roles I was qualified for, and a few backup options.

In interviews, I would say something like how my role was eliminated as part of a broader restructuring, how I’m proud of the work I did at Nike, and I’m looking for a place where I can bring that experience into a role with strong growth and stability.
Eventually, I got an offer that was okay, but I still had interviews moving, so I waited. Two weeks later, I got a better offer: higher pay, better title, and a healthier environment.

The biggest lesson I learned is that I had confused being at a famous company with being in the right job. Nike looked great on my resume, and I’m proud of the work I did there, as bad as the place has become in recent years. But the layoff reminded me that no company, no matter how iconic, is your safety net.

So if you just got laid off: breathe. You’re allowed to be scared. But don’t let the layoff convince you that you’re done. Update your resume. Tell people. Ask for help. Apply carefully. Keep interviewing. And don’t take the first bad offer just because you’re hurt.
I didn’t choose to get laid off. But I did choose what happened next and I ended up better off.

Hello, my name is Nitesh,

A friend told me that this is a good place to ask insiders about possible layoffs.

I received an offer from Qualcomm (in India) and I do not know if I should accept it. Some of my friends at Oracle were laid off and I do not want to suffer the same way.

Thanks for any information in advance.

Got laid off last year and have been searching for months. Finally landed an offer but the commute is rough. About 75 minutes each way with traffic. I used to work from home for nearly six years before all this, so the thought of doing that drive three days a week is making me feel sick. After eight months of looking, I'm scared to say no even though I'm not desperate financially. Anyone been in this spot?

The technology sector faces ongoing substantial job reductions. Broadstaff CEO Carrie Charles suggests a career pivot for affected workers. She advises moving into data center roles like electricians and technicians. Demand for these positions is high, with job listings increasing significantly. Senior data center electricians can earn six-figure salaries.

How does it compare? I'm considering an offer, but their page on this forum is eerily similar to ours when it comes to issues. I'd just like to hear from somebody who's worked at both places.

Fortrex will cease operations at the Lexington, Nebraska plant. This follows the termination of its contract with Tyson Foods. The decision impacts 139 Fortrex employees. Operations will end on January 20, 2026. Eligible employees can transfer to other Fortrex locations.

Food companies are reducing their workforces. This trend is driven by margin pressure, changing consumer tastes, and increased automation. Tyson Foods is closing a Nebraska plant, impacting approximately 5,000 positions. Nestle, PepsiCo, and Molson Coors also announced significant job cuts. Industry experts foresee ongoing workforce reductions and facility closures.

I am in non hub and not told to move yet and I am unable to make up my mind whether to move or not. I casually applied for jobs and I am close to getting an offer. My best guess is 25K lower and it involves a 3 day 1 hour commute each week for life. I can’t move closer to new workplace due to kids schooling and my spouse might quit. We have no home to sell.
Should I. A. Uproot my family while spouse quits and go to Plano to start fresh on my own? B. Take the new job, spouse quits and settle down where I am? C. Reject new offer, keep renting and continue the grind unless told to move?

There are personal and financial challenges for each decision and I got no comfort in any of these options. Any advice if you have gone through something similar?

Key Points
IBM employs hundreds of thousands of workers as of December 31, 2025.
The company operates in more than 170 countries and is headquartered in Armonk, New York.
IBM is cutting jobs while increasing entry-level hiring, especially in cloud and AI fields.

Can hiring managers see your current salary? I apply for jobs here and there. I can't even get an interview.

Colorado experienced 5,612 layoffs in 2025. This number represents a 55 percent increase from 2023. Safeway led all companies with 617 job losses. These layoffs resulted from the closure of ten grocery stores. Tech, grocery, and healthcare sectors were most impacted.

Can anyone shed light on why would one decline the LTI/RSU offer?

I've been getting rejected for months and this was the second company willing to interview me and the only one to result in an offer. I've only done low call volume outbound calls in Medicaid and this Customer Service Rep role says it's 60-80 inbound a day. I'm wasting $150 a month in parking at my current dead end job and this role being 100% remote is the only reason why I'm considering the $8k paycut (already tried negotiating). Do you guys think working at Optum until I get an offer elsewhere is worth it? The constant rejections are getting to me mentally, trying not to let this one offer cloud my judgement.

The job market is terrible and is the only company that would accept me. Should I join as a CW or perm?

Nestlé announced plans to cut 16,000 jobs globally. New CEO Philipp Navratil is implementing these changes. The company expects to save approximately $3.7 billion. This cost-savings goal is set to be achieved by the end of 2027. The job reductions include 12,000 office positions and 4,000 factory roles.

Jump ship now.

U.S. jobless benefit applications saw a slight decline. They fell by 1,000 to 213,000. This occurred despite a generally weakening labor market. High-profile firms like Amazon announced recent layoffs. The job market shows slow hiring and few firings.

will they take away our severance if we work for encore?

Curious does anyone have any context why there is a delay on any job offers from the recent jobs posting? Many have slowed down after final interviews.

I was part of the mass layoffs in December. The other day I received an email from a recruiter about a few contract to hire openings that they felt I’d be a good fit for. They found my resume on one of the job boards that I’m using. I stated that I was part of the mass layoffs and the recruiter stated the were aware and had roles they needed to fill.

It’s sounding like they know they sc--wed themselves and are scrambling to fix it.

What a giant slap in the face.

Do people get laid off within the first several months of employment? I desperately need a job, but I don't want to join, stop my search, and end up on the street again within months. Thanks in advance.

Got laid off and looking for fpga positions

I was laid off in December. There was no non compete agreement to sign. I had 4 interviews with competitors lined up after the holidays and accepted a role with one to start in February. I brought all of my knowledge with me. And I’m making 15% more. Life gets better after this dumpster fire.

LA Semiconductor may permanently terminate up to 350 jobs. This could occur by April 10, 2026, if a facility sale fails. The company issued a WARN notice to the Idaho Department of Labor. A law firm is investigating potential violations of the WARN Act. The Pocatello facility's sale is overseen by a court-appointed receiver.

hey everyone, I’m a new grad here and I got a job offer from KPMG to start in September but I’m hearing rumors that they might push start dates back and possibly even withdrawal offers. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Thanks a lot.
