#jobsecurity

I'm asking because I honestly can't remember what it's like to not dread Monday morning. If you actually love what you do, what's your job and what makes it worth it for you?

I can't get interviews for roles that match my experience, so I've been applying for entry level jobs just to get some money coming in, since severance is melting away. Each one of them said I'm overqualified and would leave too fast. So what am I supposed to do?

Citibank announced 68 additional layoffs in New Jersey. These job cuts will occur in Bergen and Hudson counties. The layoffs are scheduled to take place on June 28. This follows a February notice affecting 141 Citibank employees. Other New Jersey employers also filed recent layoff notices.

Frontier employees will not be impacted in upcoming RIF’s for their first 12 months as a VZ employee.

I work in customer service and will be starting a new role in authorizations. I wonder if I'm safe.

As in, don't fire the people who are doing their jobs well. VZ has record profits, but it makes bad decisions at the top creating lots of debt.

I’m curious how many want VR over how many are in bad locations / have no choice or dare I say it happy.

I have a very fuzzy charter right now. I feel I was left behind to ensure nothing breaks, but with each day it seems my work is not likely to meet the never ending evaluation. All this to say, I don't really have a job right now. I'm in limbo.

Has there been any word on July round of layoffs or cuts? Did all 3000 employees get notified before? Or will some of them be notified before fiscal year end?

I’ve been here a year and a half no email yet…

Any one know specifically what departments are being considered? I was laid off during the UnitedHealthcare layoffs back in September of 2024. Centene hired me after a long 7 month search and now I can’t believe im having to go through this again! i I thought centene was going to be my long term after such a devastating time and now this.

I was hired a few weeks before the hiring freeze and haven’t built up a cushion to survive off of yet. I just graduated and moved here for the job. I’ll be royally sc--wed if I get cut whenever they start doing actual layoffs 😬

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) at Harvard University is undergoing an administrative overhaul. This restructuring could eliminate up to one in four staff jobs. FAS recently opened internal searches for seven new high-level administrative positions. Staff members anticipate additional job cuts this summer. The changes aim to address federal funding cuts and a budget deficit.

I retired from Nielsen 5+ years ago. A former coworker pointed me to this site, so I'm out of the loop. I only ended up on the careers page because my son just graduated with an engineering degree, and I thought the Oldsmar facility would be a great place for him to start. Instead, I'm perplexed; are all the engineering jobs in India now? What actually happened to Nielsen? The engineering culture and work at Oldsmar used to be great, but now it seems like a ghost town. Catch me up on what I missed (and yes, I realize now I should probably steer my son elsewhere!)

Certain employee groups are ineligible for the VSP “ “.

What are the specialized roles and core initiatives that would be “safe”

Are new team members exempt from the upcoming layoff or just not eligible for the VSP?

Senior executives- VP and up?

Some departments have been laying off staff for months now. Was that a separate initiative?

This company can't be trusted. If you make too much money or someone doesn't like you, you're probably a target. In some divisions you have zero job security no matter how good you are. Start looking for a new job now and save up a rainy day fund.

Is it ideal? No. Is it better than a lot of places right now? Yes. If you've taken half an hour of your day to brows available jobs, you'd know how cr-ppy the job market is right now. Having a relatively safe job with a decent pay at this moment is more than many others have. As I said, this place is far from perfect, but let's get some perspective.

While G2 talks about who won't last at Cisco, Datadog keeps its employees and customers happy

How bad does it stink to service the big chains now? It’s easier to create a local Jam or honey and sell it into a Walmart locally than it is to sell for a cpg company right now. My neighbor got her honey into Walmart (9 stores) and is making more than our TSLs from that alone. These jobs are really bad right now.

Michigan's economy continues to expand, but job growth is slowing. A West Michigan survey revealed the employment index turned negative in May. This indicates employers are becoming more cautious about hiring. Statewide forecasts predict slower economic growth and a softer labor market. Consumer confidence and spending are critical factors for the future outlook.

Software company ServiceNow announced layoffs affecting 63 workers in its San Diego office. This action contradicts CEO Bill McDermott's earlier pledge to maintain a steady headcount. Dozens more employees across California were also impacted. Many affected roles are senior positions in sales and consulting. The company reported strong revenue and profit in the first quarter. Investors, however, expressed dissatisfaction with AI growth projections.

How should I approach my manager about volunteering for the next RIF? I won't go into too much detail here, but I have been incredibly miserable since they moved me to a new role after the first wave of VSP in 2024. It's a role I never would have applied for on my own. Originally I had hoped to stay in this role for a short period of time and then eventually move to another role internally. However, given the current state of the company, that is no longer a viable option. I was thinking of giving my notice soon (no I don't have another job lined up, but I have enough savings to get me by for quite a while). Should I approach my manager about volunteering for the next RIF so I can at least get severance? If so, how should I approach the conversation? Or should I just give notice and be done with this place?

Anyone heard anything? Wondering if we should polish up our resumes.

How often does headquarters in BP do layoffs? Looking to join company but would like to gauge job security there. And out of curiosity, do you really need to be "highly extroverted" per the culture. Thx in advance.

You can bring in a person off the street and have them run a prompt to generate code.

Say what you want about this place, but for me, it's still one of the best jobs I've had. Pay is fine. Work is interesting. Coworkers are great. That's why I'm scared of getting laid off. I don't want to go.

I left and now I regret it. This place isn't perfect but it's still better than most.

Is there a single position right now where you can just work and not spend half your energy worrying about being let go?

Why do I still work here?

Probable answers include, but not limited to:

“I’m close to retirement” (acceptable)
“The job market stinks” (bad answer; it hasn’t always stunk; you had plenty of time to leave when it was booming)
“Would have to accept lower pay” (possibly but su-k it up)

They will continue to do rolling layoffs in cat finance through 2027. This is currently not AI layoffs but jobs to overseas. Personally witness interviews for people in india on jobs that's traditionally did not exist in that region

Biopharma companies cut or planned to cut 6,956 employees in May 2026. This represented a 47% year-over-year increase in workforce reductions. Takeda and BioNTech together accounted for 6,360 of these job cuts. BioNTech announced 1,860 eliminations by late 2027, while Takeda plans 4,500 cuts in fiscal year 2026.

How do I convince leadership to let me go back to my old role/team instead of laying me off? I have been moved around to so many times in the last few years, I’d really like to go back to what I was doing prior to all the re-org’s. Also, does anyone know if HR will offer a lower position in another are vs. laying someone off? I really don’t want to get laid off (despite all the trolls on this site) and willing to take a lower job.

MDT is basically run out of India these days. It's only a matter of time before everything except sales ends up there.

Anyone considered transferring and working for pennies?

Employees knew this was coming. Sad day for a (once) great company.

Job market is terrible now

People managers will either be offered to go back to IC or let go. Is this true? With AI what's the role of managers anymore?

Expeditors International, the Seattle-area logistics company known for never laying off employees, cut about 230 technology-related jobs in Washington state on Monday, ending a tradition that had been a point of pride for much of the company’s history.
