Since BM opened his big mouth on 9/14/2026 about 3rd quarter warnings in performance, BAC opening was at $62.33. Since then BAC is currently at $50.07 at time of this post with yesterday's news U.S. Treasury giving penalties of $1.2 BILLION for anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions law violations. While the company is losing money, how about giving severance packages now considering it will be cheaper to the eyes of the shareholders.

Weekly layoffs have continued. This past week has been a bit more than usual.

I was part of ISP. Separated officially on 9/11. Still have not received severance pay. Is anyone else still waiting??

Wanted to know if layoffs are planned early next year what is the BAU for when layoffs occur ? Would it be January or is it usually after bonus payout

Stay tuned

Just got laid off this morning. Clearly this company values AI slop and outsourcing over anything remotely close to actually adhering to policy or making sure devs can actually get anything done. Only thing I'll miss is the money... and even then it's clear that was running out too thanks to the obscene (yet expected) greed of the Ivory Tower.

I guess they're not even doing waves of WFRs anymore. They probably play darts with names on the board every morning. Get out while you can.

I am starting a new job after my role was eliminated in August. I got the severance but I also hope that my payroll is continued :) Should I let them know? Or just enjoy getting double-paid?

Allegedly!

This forum is silent. Have you all lost the fight? Disappointing.

Any changes?

For those who were laid off in New York, when did you apply for unemployment? Did you file as soon as your job ended or wait until the severance period was over?

Has anyone heard anything about when the next round of RIFs are coming? If they are inevitable, I wish it would be sooner rather than later as this constant stress of having them hanging over our heads is so demoralizing

If you’re going to get fired or quit soon, what steps should you take before you’re limited internal HR access is turned off?

I wanted to check if any positions got impacted by layoffs this month. I heard a few roles were affected here and there, but I'm not sure of the exact count.

I've been looking myself, and it's been bleak. I can't imagine having to navigate this kind of a job market without already having the safety of an existing job. I feel really bad for everybody who was cut.

If I'm laid off with severance, can I still apply for unemployment or not?

InvaGen Pharmaceuticals is laying off 205 employees across two New York facilities. The job cuts are scheduled to begin on November 27. This decision is part of a broader cost-reduction strategy by its parent company, Cipla. The layoffs are also influenced by economic pressures and supply chain realignments affecting generic dr-g manufacturers. Despite the layoffs, Cipla will continue its U.S. operations.

Martin County bus drivers, recently laid off without prior notification, gathered to protest their dismissals. They voiced their demands for job restoration outside their former depot. Families of the affected drivers joined the demonstration. The group directed their message to county officials. They are seeking to reclaim their positions.

No job is truly safe from this. Not a single one. Doesn’t matter the skills you posses or knowledge. If you think you're an exception, you might be in for a rude awakening.

A few people already said right on this board they wouldn't mind volunteering. So why not give them that option?

Does anyone know the tell-tale sign your store is closing even before it is formally announced?

His job is to temporarily make us look good enough - find a buyer or two for parts, once that is settled, he will commence with layoffs.

He's a bit like Archie in that way (iykyk), just a hatchett guy. Which is why a printer grandpa can do the job.

As all of us know, he does not give two sh--s about you or me or probably his direct reports either. He will retire rich af without a care in the world.

Any news on Lori Ames org for layoffs? Been awfully quiet. Anything planned for this year?

It is no secret that many of us are facing a wave of forced retirements and layoffs. After everything we have dedicated to this company, navigating this sudden transition leaves a deeply bitter taste. For those of us who never truly connected with Houston—or who only moved here because the corporate mandate required it—the situation feels doubly unjust.
When a company relocates you to a hub like Houston for their business needs, it only makes sense that they should help transition you back out when those needs change. A fair severance package should include comprehensive relocation assistance to the city of your choice, allowing you to decide where to rebuild your life and career.
As we look toward the future and prepare to leave Houston behind, the biggest question is: Where to next?
Assuming the proper resources and exit packages are secured, the consensus for those who want out centers heavily on two primary destinations:
• The New York / New Jersey Metro Area: For many who were consolidated down to the Houston-area Spring campus from traditional East Coast hubs—such as the massive Hunterdon County research facility—this is a long-awaited return home. A massive portion of the affected workforce is eager to move back to the Northeast corridor to reunite with family, tap back into a familiar lifestyle, and leverage their experience in major corporate infrastructure.
• The Mountain West (Specifically Denver, CO): For those looking forward instead of backward, Denver is the top destination for departing employees who want to transition out of the traditional Gulf Coast energy sector. It offers a massive, modern hub for diversified energy and tech markets, a drastic change of scenery, and an active outdoor lifestyle that serves as the perfect antidote to the years spent stuck in the Houston climate.

The Reality of Relocation Costs: Option vs. Necessity

However, deciding to leave is only half the battle; the financial reality of moving is where things get incredibly complicated. In 2026, the true cost of a corporate move is daunting. Industry benchmarks show that a standard domestic move averages $21,800 for renters and can soar past $63,000 for homeowners once you factor in packing, shipping, real estate agent commissions, and lease-breaking fees. Furthermore, under current tax laws, relocation benefits are treated as fully taxable income, meaning a significant chunk can be eaten up by taxes unless the company "grosses up" the payout to cover that burden.
This creates a harsh divide among affected employees:
• For some, the transition will be financially viable. Those with robust savings, minimal household goods, or senior severance packages that fully manage direct-vendor billing will find it relatively seamless to pack up and head for the Northeast or the Mountain West.
• For others, the math simply doesn't work. Paying thousands of dollars out of pocket while waiting for slow company reimbursements—or absorbing the massive cost of selling a home in a difficult housing market—is a risk they cannot afford while facing unemployment.
Because of this financial barrier, many will ultimately choose out of sheer necessity to stay in Houston. Remaining in the local area is not a reflection of wanting to stay, but rather a practical financial calculation to avoid draining what is left of their severance on moving logistics.
We gave our time and energy to a city and a company based on a corporate mandate. Whether we use our resources to fund a fresh start in a new city, or choose to stay local out of financial necessity to protect our families, the focus now must be on look-forward survival.

Cuts expected pretty much every quarter...now a quarterly deal

Surprise, layoffs this Thursday I heard.

Here it comes. Just got confirmation Oct 29th is my last day !

Microsoft is continuing its organizational changes across the company, and the move is expected to affect its operations in Israel as well. As part of the reorganization, dozens of development employees are expected to move to other positions within the company, while employees for whom no alternative role is found may lose their jobs.

Anyone knows anything?

Can anybody in the know confirm if this is true?

One? Two?

The constant pressure is making people consider leaving on their own, and I can't help wondering if that's the point. Fewer formal layoffs would mean a smaller number to report.

We know more will be coming, and that's the main reason why I simply don't care anymore. Getting severance would serve as a great safety net as I search for a job where layoffs aren't the only band-aid solution to any and every problem. I'm exhausted from constant worrying, so I just decided to stop. I don't care anymore.

When did we go from an occasional layoff to having to worry about them 24/7?

Every round of layoffs has made me less willing to go above and beyond. I've reached the point where doing my job just well enough is enough.

Tells you all you need to know about the state of things.
