before multi-ball starts

Layoffs or not? So distracting.

Like clockwork it's October they are 'functionally eliminating' another training role. Program Owners are on the chopping block today. Forcing a large number of people to all jockey for the same limited roles they are 'replacing' it with. When you spend billions on AI you've got to make up that money somewhere. This company hasn't been the same since David Joyner ascended and started bowing to stake holders as kings

Listen, kiddos. Companies have bills to pay, just like your family does. They have to make money to keep the lights on, pay everyone, and stay in business. But when business gets tough, companies start looking for ways to save money. They cut departments and lay people off.

Having a job isn't something you should take for granted. That is why you show up, do your work, learn new things, treat people right, and make yourself someone the team can count on.

But you should understand that a paycheck is not guaranteed just because you showed up yesterday.

Be grateful you have a job.

Nobody owes you a free ride. You earn your keep, you do your part, and you don't wait until the roof is on fire to check the smoke detector.

Don't listen to fairytales about people who left and found some magical, higher-paying, perfect job. Yes, it can happen, but it happens to very few people. The overwhelming majority will have to face a hostile job market where employers lowball salaries and ghost candidates left and right. Don't fall for it.

Artificial intelligence is significantly reshaping the technology workforce, leading to substantial job cuts across major companies. Microsoft, Oracle, and Amazon have all implemented significant layoffs, with Amazon even planning to replace a large number of jobs with automation. Meta has also considered drastic workforce reductions, and other tech firms like Block and Intel have followed suit. Experts predict that AI will continue to displace workers, particularly in coding roles, potentially leading to widespread unemployment. The current trend suggests that these AI-driven layoffs are far from over.

Two North Jersey companies are set to eliminate a combined 174 positions early in 2027. Conduent State & Local Solutions Inc. will lay off 113 employees in Newark. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. plans to cut 61 jobs at its Fairfield location. These workforce reductions are scheduled to occur in late January and early February of the new year. The layoffs were reported in a filing with the state labor department.

Google's parent company, Alphabet, has announced significant workforce reductions, impacting 12,000 employees globally. This move brings the total number of tech layoffs in January 2023 to over 30,000. CEO Sundar Pichai cited changing economic conditions and a need to align hiring with the current reality. The affected positions span various product areas, functions, and regions across the company. This decision follows similar large-scale layoffs at other major tech firms like Microsoft and Amazon.

Seems there could be two separate things going on here. 3000 layoffs AND all the tech jobs going to India.

If you truly believe in your talent, skills, and knowledge, start exploring opportunities outside immediately. Don’t wait another year, hoping things will get better, while the circumstances continue to affect your personal life, mental health, and career.

Take a moment, sit down, and seriously think about your future.

Do you really think they are going to stop here? No. This is just the beginning. There may be even more challenges coming your way.

It’s always better to move on to a healthier and more stable environment while you still have the choice, rather than waiting until the situation completely drains your confidence, peace of mind, and professional growth.

Know your worth. Prioritize your mental health, career, and future. No company is worth sacrificing all three.

Think carefully before it’s too late.

sales r u enjoying having to upload all info to online system to replace ur job thx to Scott Katie Kyle etc? Are you rdy to be replaced coz vp plan is joke?

They need to fire Katie and Kyle now! They are the most h0rrible le@ders joke and cook and link all bad

Didn't hear much

Any idea who they are coming for tomorrow and the rest of the week? Any meetings known or calendar invites? Thank you to everyone sharing on this board. I know it’s none of this is easy and we’re all just trying our best here.

I haven't seen anyone in CA affected yet, are there cuts coming to that org?

My department was notified yesterday who was leaving and who was staying. Has anyone heard of there being a second wave of cuts or is it confirmed that once your department has been notified, there will be no more cuts afterwards?

I’m surprised inhouse getting hit first when I thought contracted staff augs would get hit first…makes me think they just going to ride out the POs since they are already invested funds

1) we all know more layoffs will keep on happening

2) my theory is that leadership will spare us between Thanksgiving and New Years

So my question is : what are the odds of layoffs over the next 3 weeks till nov 20?

anybody heard anything? All is quiet on my end

I heard that McKinsey has identified a new business vertical for Comcast, something fundamentally different from the businesses the company has operated for decades (more about it below). The proposed restructuring is designed to position us for this new direction. We need to be gradually shifting resources, investments and priorities away from our traditional business - that's the only way for us to survive and therefore keep our jobs (if we are lucky to survive).

Comcast's legacy businesses face increasing pressure from cord-cutting + changing consumer behavior + competition. We got to build an org capable of competing in markets where future growth and profitability may be stronger.

Still, nobody seems to know exactly what this new vertical will be. But one thing appears seems to be apparent we are preparing for a future that looks VERY different from its past and the current restructuring may be only the beginning.

Is it only me? I know we had threads on this but still...

First, I want to say how terrible I feel for everyone who was impacted by these layoffs and didn’t want to be. I’ve been thinking about this nonstop since last week’s earnings call, especially knowing that some of my friends were among those affected.

I was fortunate enough to be told today that my position is safe, and I wanted to share what I’ve learned in case it helps ease some of the uncertainty others are feeling.

We were told that employees are being notified department by department, and today was our department’s turn. Based on what was shared, if your department has already gone through the process and you weren’t notified, you should be safe.

We were also told that the layoffs are expected to continue through Friday, at which point the process should be complete.

I know how stressful this uncertainty has been, and my thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.

People working on AI things at the bank say execs are discussing how many jobs they could replace before showing the agents can handle work across Wells Fargo’s older systems. Is your team testing agents on limited tasks first? What results are being measured before staffing decisions are made?

The government should heavily tax work outsourced overseas when those costs are billed back to U.S. corporations, but we all know that will never happen.

Outsourcing doesn't just eliminate American jobs, it drives down wages, weakens the middle class, and strips communities of the economic stability they depend on.

Corporations pocket the savings while American workers and taxpayers bear the long-term costs through lost opportunities, reduced tax revenue, and greater economic inequality.

Nobody is coming to save American workers because the people making these decisions benefit from the very system that's destroying their livelihoods.

Is that work shipped to QIPL?

Has anyone heard of layoffs? I know that they happen around this time of year, and I’ve heard some whisperings.

Heard from my LL4, Ford will have massive layoffs in next 6 months.
Looks like a big wave..
Anyone??

Are they layoffs done ? How many people got laid off at your plant ? What kind of employees

For day 3, may the odds be in your favor!

When a company begins having regular layoffs, the odds say that eventually your number will come up.

Stop acting surprised about layoffs. MC has a long history of them. You work there for about 10-15 years (if you're lucky) then they lay you off. There's only been a select core group that have lasted since the old Westport days. And they know who they are. It was once a great place to work back in the early 2000's. It's not the same place it once was. All the 20, 30 and 40 year old's. Keep those resumes updated and always entertain new opportunities. There is life after MC.

Imagine having to compete with 60k former Microsoft employees?

Couple hours later and it's still processing. Crazy how much of my life was trapped in that he-l hole.

If you got the call this year, hear this: you didn't fail. A company that cut 65,000 jobs since 2019 and says AI will "bring headcount down more" didn't let you go because of your worth — it let you go because of its math.

Your skills and your work leave with you. The badge stays behind.

Take the severance, take a breath, and remember: plenty of ex-WF folks landed somewhere that pays better and respects them more. Some started businesses. Some finally took the break they needed.

The next chapter is yours to write, not theirs to approve. You've got this — and this board's got you.

I started two weeks ago. Is there a chance I could still be laid off?

My advice to those who're looking to leave EM is to look outside of the industry. If you don't, you'll just end up in a very similar situation with very bleak future prognoses.

AGI Market is projected to grow to $27.8 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 32 percent.
Artificial General Intelligence could independently solve problems without human intervention. So something bigger will happen within next few years where most job role will be eliminated . This will happen for sure

Living like this is not healthy. If this continues, I might start hoping to be laid off to get a paid opportunity to find something where layoffs are not omnipresent.

Please just be direct, im a recent hire after not finding work for over a year and just need to know. Are behavioral advocates at risk of losing their jobs? Am i sc--wed? They’re combining jobs from the care coordinators but since im a new hire for the month of October am i still sc--wed?

Very stressful now. My day will come eventually.
