BT x Verizon (VBG) partnership / buyout / merger: what have you heard?

As someone in EMEA in professional services (cyber security consulting) at Verizon, we're hearing a lot regarding the potential for certain business units to be sold off to BT to boost their capabilities. What you have you guys heard? In EMEA it was looking like a collective dismissal first, but now it's looking more and more likely that a sell off will take place instead.

Centra layoffs

Centra announced Monday that it would be laying off approximately 90 employees, about one percent of Centra’s total workforce, effective this week as part of the company’s restructuring efforts.

Why are layoffs suddenly so silent

I always worry when the storm calms and things are too silent. It was clear at the start of the year and before that we had plans to enforce our hub strategy, and all he-l broke loose with several layoffs. Now it feels too quiet. What was once all this buzz about remote layoffs and reorg layoffs has become completely silent. I do not endorse the strategies, I worry about when kids are too quiet. Curious if anyone has insights on what’s around the blind corner?


Concentrix Layoffs

Layoffs keep happening since last year but they never report it as they are keeping them under the treshold that's required by state laws. Concentrix is really good when it comes playing that game. people are not stupid and all of us can see it but they do manage to keep it away from the media coverage. Anyhow, I was let go after 11 very loyal year and I did have great reviews throughout.

If you are new to Concentrix you will not see this but once you start figguring patterns of behavior of the executives, this will be so obvious.

Good luck all


June 1st

Our VP scheduled a 15 minute meeting today regarding an "organizational update." Has anyone else had similar meetings or received any news today? Curious whether this is part of broader organizational changes or if there may be another round of layoffs occurring. Any insight would be appreciated.


The only question these days is when, not if

I've accepted that my time at AT&T is finite, and that the end will probably come sooner rather than later. I have to tell you, that realization's actually been freeing in a way. I don't feel the need to give any extra effort or sacrifice my evenings for a place that won't hesitate to cut me loose. Instead, now I use my working hours to look for other opportunities, to build skills that'll help me elsewhere, and to do exactly what's asked of me and nothing more. There's no point in pretending otherwise.


Layoff running totals based on Slack

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

  • may01-may31: 2241 reductions, and 942 additions
  • apr01-apr30: 2286 reductions, and 1583 additions
  • mar01-mar31: 12446 reductions, and 844 additions
  • feb01-feb28: 943 reductions, and 1143 additions
  • jan01-jan31: 1604 reductions, and 1834 additions
  • dec01-dec31: 1031 reductions, and 844 additions
  • nov01-nov30: 1614 reductions, and 1327 additions
  • oct01-oct31: 2504 reductions, 1762 additions
  • sep02-sep30: 6275 reductions, 861 additions
  • aug14-sep01: 733 reductions (based on Slack very few data points)
  • aug01-aug14: ?2900 reductions in IDC (based on media reports)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

What is called "layoff estimates" are partially part of normal attrition, limitations are covered in details in comments.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.


Kellogg to close the Omaha Plant

Kellogg Omaha plant is closing very soon...

They are laying off everyone and are selling the property.

People have less money to spend and branded products tend to be hit more than others. People there were well paid and had good benefits (Unionized) so it's a fairly big for the community.

WK Kellogg Co. is moving ahead with the permanent closure of its Omaha, Nebraska, cereal facility, with hundreds of employees expected to lose their jobs in phases this summer.

Continuelayoff

A full year of continuous layoffs is something rarely seen at this scale. Many companies underestimated the value of experienced employees and overestimated AI’s ability to replace them. The biggest mistake is believing technology alone can replace knowledge, judgment, and human expertise.


Oracle - Grieving millionaires feeling betrayed?

Stop crying about being laid off. You have spent 20, 30, 25 years and feel betrayed. Enjoy the millions in the 401K and move on. Pathetic.

I spent 15 years at Oracle and was laid off a few years ago. I worked with many of the people who were recently let go. You are talented, highly intelligent, and among the company's top performers.

The reality is that tech companies eventually reach a point where they can no longer justify paying top dollar, top bonuses, and large RSU packages to the same employees year after year, regardless of performance. Many of you have earned substantial compensation and built successful careers.

Being laid off is never easy, but at some point it's important to move forward rather than seek sympathy. Take pride in what you've accomplished, leverage your experience, and focus on the next opportunities.


Help negotiating UK VR

They’ve basically given me a week to take VR otherwise it’s CR

If I take VR I get extra 2800

If I don’t I get statutory terms

They want me gone come what may in a month

First consultation meeting is next week.

Does anyone know if I can apply for VR say in week 2-3?

Can I request they extend the month because I’ve applied for internal job?

Anything I should be aware off?


Laid of in london - Heres my package in 2026

Was laid off early May and given 3 weeks until 29 May to sign the settlement agreement

My package looks like this
3 weeks to review settlement agreement (no work to do and fully paid)
3 month notice period - Got lucky as this was changed during covid years when they got scared of people resigning with only a month notice
6 weeks tax free redundancy for six years service which was lousy
22 days holiday paid out which I had accrued
Pension and medical insurance paid for 3 months and 22 days

tried to fight for my bonus but got zero

Basically cost me 65 grand to make me redundant in the UK - I was on 140K salary as a senior consultant and I get to leave end of May as I am put on PILON

I start in a new job on 15 June so this is all fine for me and I am delighted

People who are laid off should be using these boards to share what they got so that others can do the same - The time is coming - The numbers are sh-t and they are in a hole with no way out
