#layoff

Back from 3days off & 1 of my colleagues is gone..layed off my other colleague told me. the dreaded vvv..on their email. No email, no talk no anything to team from our manger. This place is unreal.. Wove almost dead & going to pasture. How many more casualties?

port out and get the “me team” fired! besides my tmobile service is faster. even my friends ATT Prepaid plan shows 5G connection more than Verizon- his wife has verizon and she is canceling

Are there possible layoffs coming up soon? Are people still looking for a new job and trying to leave before the layoffs?

What will the layoffs look like in Nov? The recurring theme in Product seems to be on smaller teams.

Do we know?

Today marks the one year anniversary date for those laid-off on 9/24/2025.

It was a shocking day! It brought out the reality that HCSC along with manny employers have no respect or appreciation for its employees as a corporation. It confirmed the end of an era of devoted employees.

Hopefully those let go have been able to find a new job or officially retire comfortably. Those who continue to work hopefully it is a good job. Then there are those who found a job, but are still really looking.

For those employees still working at HCSC, maybe think about messaging someone you know who was let go on this day. Checking in on them could do wonders in boosting their morale on this horrible day of memory.

I heard from someone who went to Arium that they had layoffs last week. How are the Zayo folks doing? Are we thinking more Crown layoffs? Raise your hand if you are tired of this.......

Can stop paying?

Looks like a lot of senior/executive leaders are coming for visits and/or scheduling meetings with several teams next week. Would fit the pattern the last few years of delivering awful news shortly after the engagement survey is closed.

Nothing more to do. Nothing more to accomplish. Nothing whatsoever.

Move along now ….

I have not heard of anyone yet. Hoping it was a rumor.

What happens to your computer? Does it lock you out? What does it say if you turn it on and log in?

Are we always safe from being laid off? It seems that’s the mentality in our group. Even though our work is getting less and less.

Expedia Group is laying off 58 employees in Washington state. These reductions are expected to occur between November 21 and December 1. The affected roles include positions in technology, product, and corporate departments. This move follows previous layoffs and a broader restructuring driven by advancements in artificial intelligence. The company is streamlining operations and reorganizing its teams.

With all the layoffs happening, is anyone still tracking badging? I don’t understand the purpose of going into the office if all they want to do is lay people off.

Layoffs will be strategic and calculated to coincide with quarterly results. Poor results creates justification to “restructure”. The current unofficial hiring freeze will help with some of that.

Rumors about R&D, on prior post, are mostly accurate.

The post on Elliot involvement is mostly accurate as well.

Post on 9/20 layoffs is not accurate.

Post on salaries is mostly accurate and gives good perspective

Post on smiles week is the best thing i have read all year.

Post on FIFA spend, not sure but that’s a lot of money wasted if Q3 earnings are bad. (And they won’t hold the decision makers on that accountable)

See you in the welfare line friends!

We were told there is a renewed call for MN and DC offices rto. Managers will get more reporting and will have employees on it that are 3.5 days per week or less in a rolling 12 week period.

My read: this is another marker that will determine who gets put on future rif list

Sure sounds like some people got hit. What was the excuse given this time?

Layoffs are coming again for Aberdeen, confirmed by management this morning. Don't have enough people to catch the jobs already scheduled but management seems to believe we can work with less.

Anyone feel like they are being investigated or looked into something "being wrong" for reasons to fire you so they dont have to lay you off and pay a severance?

McClatchy recently implemented significant layoffs, impacting over ninety unionized media workers across seventeen publications. These cuts occurred despite recent union contract gains that included provisions for artificial intelligence. The affected newsrooms experienced varying degrees of staff reduction, with some losing multiple reporters. The role of AI in future operations remains uncertain, though company investments suggest its continued integration. Journalists are closely monitoring for any AI-driven replacements for laid-off staff, which could violate union agreements.

Has anyone who got laid off been able to collect PA unemployment?

Job losses in Northern Virginia increased by nearly 50% this summer compared to the previous year. This rise was largely due to layoffs at General Dynamics and Bechtel Power Corporation. Bechtel Power Corporation alone cut 200 jobs at its Reston location. Overall, 451 job losses were announced between June and September. The state also experienced a nearly 50% increase in job losses.

People at executive level should be targeted due to poor performance and outages.

As a member of the dwindling on-shore technical staff, the most recent events have caused us so many headaches at the Global Operation Centre.

I have very little confidence in our off-shore tech staff and constantly have to bail them out of trouble. While most of them probably mean well, those staff lack real training, are paid a fraction (apparently around 10%) of what we are paid in Australia and most don't seem to have any pride or purpose in the work that they do. Many of them have told me privately that they would prefer to migrate to Australia so they can earn a better salary.

Instead of sending jobs overseas, the company should be employing more local school leavers.

I am hoping to be made redundant soon. I have maxed out my redundancy payout.

i thought all staff where notified on aug 31st of layoffs so if thats correct then they will leave within 30 days right? so why am i hearing more layoffs from october 7th to oct 21st i dont undertand.

That would be the post. Anxious. I hate this instability.

i've read here claims that because vz's is self-insured for medical covrage employees with higher recent or ongoing medical costs could potentially be viewed differently during workforce reductions. people were talking about chronic conditions recent hospital stays or having a baby shortly before a layoff.

i've also heard anecdotal reports that in at least one group affected by the last layoffs several of the people let go had significant recent medical expenses or ongoing medical issues. age was also mentioned but supposedly salary level did not appear to explain the pattern.

i have no way to verify whether any of this is actually connected to layoff decisions and correlation obviously does not prove that medical information was used.

has anyone else heard anything similar or seen patterns in their own group? especially interested in firsthand observations rather than speculation.

If the number doesn't look good, here is the upside. Disappointing Q3 will guarantee RA for Arvind and much of the executives.

Has anyone who has been laid off or fired on the sales side had to deal with cencora not paying them the correct commissions and shorting their pay?

axed back in May (OCI). I am still struggling finding a job. Landed two interviews but it did not pan out. Still have hope. Have a Q for folks that were let go - when were you laid off how long did the search take, and was your new compensation lower, similar, or higher?

T-Mobile is closing five retail locations and a corporate office in Washington State. The company is also implementing several rounds of employee layoffs affecting 77 individuals.

Apple has recently laid off a small number of employees from its Fitness+ team. These cuts specifically impacted staff working on audio features for the service. The company is reportedly reassessing the future direction of Apple Fitness+. This move is seen as the initial step in broader, more significant changes planned for the service. While the service itself is not currently slated for discontinuation, its content release frequency may decrease.

I just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on the current wait for payment.

For those who had a 09/04 release date, I signed my agreement on the same day. I know there’s a 7-day revocation waiting period, and after that, they say it can take another 1–2 pay periods to receive the payment.

I know it may be wishful thinking, but I’m really hoping we get paid on 09/25 rather than having to wait almost a month without pay. 😅 Rent is due!

What does everyone think? Are we thinking 09/25, or are we more likely looking at 10/09?

Thanks!
