This is the second time within months our team was hit. How are we supposed to do our jobs and remain sane when layoffs are now basically a monthly occurrence?
Traditionally, it seems layoff meetings are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a reason for this?
Tiffin Motorhomes Incorporated filed a WARN notice in Alabama in February 2026, resulting in 139 layoffs.

I’m sorry to hear about all the layoffs people are experiencing. My advice is that because your experience is valuable, especially you folks who have been working here for 10, 20, 30 years, you should either A) Start your own company (for behavioral health, etc) or B) Do consulting on your own terms.
It’s obvious people with incredible resumes are being let go. It’s time we take our careers back and invest into something we’re truly passionate about.
Wishing you all the best!

Good luck folks! Hope everyone finds work quickly. They got a good handful of us this am In IT. Brutal hit for our teams. Decisions were made after the town hall in dec. But if you got a invite this afternoon thats prob good news. The cuts were already made this am.
I am in the OI product org, director level and was just let go.
Fourteen months ago, Frank Nazarro said if you were still here in a year, there would be some sort of grand reward.
What is this grand reward comprised of?
Lived through a work nightmare for well over a year
Congratulations for making Fannie's 10K mention Freddie as a "risk factor"
The promise that gen AI will continue to replace non-Indians
Indians only hiring other Indians. Those of european descent get to figure out how to apply for unemployment. Our children we struggled to put through college left to flip burgers, because Indians only hire other Indians
A salary that is so far behind the REAL inflation (not the government adjusted bogus inflation), that some of us have begun juggling bills so we can still afford to put something in the basket at the grocery store
THESE* are your grand rewards for getting Freddie Mac through the past year.
THANKS TRAITOR PULTE
Difficult to refinance one's home when one has been laid off. Freddie doesn't care, all the contractor backfills are 100% Indian. So Freddie saves money by laying off Americans. The contractors can be converted to full time in the future.
So many teams are 100% Indian. No remaining teams are 100% any race, but they still include a continually growing number of Indians.
Now, stand up, and give yourself a round of applause! Freddie Mac has put one over on the USA, and in the process, is helping to replace the working population of our Nation.
Well, I’m out the door. Fun!
The Grayson mill energy Houston office that was shut down, all those people that were let go are probably laughing now that the shared services cuts are going to hit OKC. If you aren’t where the center of power is, you are expendable and it’s only a matter of time. Can’t manage data, can’t support your customers, can’t IT hundreds of miles away :)
Due to restructuring in Ortho, aka giving all the jobs over seas to Costa Rica, all the TX design team, clinical advisors, DC and FMQC, US based employees, are being laid off effective in March. Hard to say official numbers but it's upwards of 40 people. Many were here since clarity alligners started nearly 10 years ago. Pretty sc-mmy way to save a few bucks the day after they announced 1 Billion dollars for stock buy back.
Not sure if this is it guy. But I just got a meeting with my manager, their manager, and someone else I don’t recognize.
I guess this is me signing off from Oracle
Wish me luck
The first blow is the shock. Not the gentle kind, but the kind that steals the air from your lungs. You’re first, first to fall, first to be told so there’s no reference point. No one ahead of you to say, this hurts, but it passes. No map to follow, no example to copy. Just you, standing alone, trying to understand how everything changed in a single conversation. There’s embarrassment too, a quiet, creeping shame that settles in despite the evidence of your performance. Logic tells you this isn’t about capability, but emotion whispers otherwise: you weren’t good enough.
Then comes the silence. HR goes quiet, so quiet it rings in your ears. Colleagues might offer a few kind words, if they’re allowed to, if they dare but the hardest truth is how many don’t. Not a LinkedIn message. Not a text. Not even a line in response to your goodbye email, assuming you were granted the dignity of sending one before your access disappeared. You sit there, staring into nothing, suspended between disbelief and reality. Did this really just happen? Hopelessness seeps in. You replay conversations, scan the past for signs, circle the same question again and again: why me?
And then something else surfaces. Rage. Sudden, blinding rage. At the decision. At the decision makers who you know deserved this outcome far more than you ever did. But rage has nowhere to go. It burns hot, then fades, leaving you with the truth you can’t avoid: this is real, and now you must act. Job hunting can no longer be passive or polite, it has to be treated with the urgency of a serious diagnosis. Survival mode. Strategy. Momentum.
This is the con of being first. But it’s not the whole story. Because for those who were first, there is something else too, something only visible once the dust settles. There is light at the end of the tunnel. And eventually, you’ll realise you didn’t just survive the fall. You were already walking toward something better.
I don’t know specifics, but Optum Learn experienced a RIF today.
There are quite a few rumors circulating, so I wanted to check if anyone else has heard anything.
Just got the call from my boss. Position eliminated. I got the impression she did not know until shortly before I did. I had my review yesterday and got 4 then this today.
At this point I find myself surprisingly hoping to be on this je list, and wonder how many others have gotten here? I wasn’t feeling this way and know it’s a bad market apparently but some severance and time to pull myself out of the anxiety I now live in daily and sounds actually like the better option. Worried about further decline after more loss if I am still here, certainly not going to get better any time soon and will just mean more work for the rest of us, at the end of the day I don’t get an email I think I’ll have more envy than survivors guilt. Sad it’s gotten here used to love my job my company.
If SM is so confident our "Presence Drives Performance," why is he selling shares while actively trying to implement a major RIF?

The corporate labs had a reorg and layoff. I heard that there are others let goboutside the lab as well. What other areas had layoffs this year?
NP here. Me and 3 others laid off this morning.
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is considering significant staff reductions. Over 27 full-time equivalent positions are targeted for elimination. These cuts include early reading intervention teachers and custodial staff. The district cites declining enrollment and budget pressures as reasons for the proposed layoffs. Parents and a union are actively protesting these planned reductions.

Gallo, the largest U.S. wine company, is closing a production facility. The company will also lay off 93 workers at four other California locations. The Ranch Winery in St. Helena will permanently close, affecting 56 employees. Layoffs will occur at Louis M. Martini, Orin Swift, J Vineyards, and Frei Ranch. These changes reflect market dynamics and evolving consumer demand in the wine industry.

CoStar Group conducted another round of layoffs at its Richmond headquarters. These job cuts impacted employees on its Homes.com platform. The company cited advanced AI technology deployment as the reason for the reductions. This marks the second major layoff event in less than a year for the real estate technology firm. CoStar's stock price has recently declined significantly.

If so, whats the move
First, there was collaboration.....(we are all in this together)
Then there was automation....(python, ansible rah rah rah!)
Then came agile......(hire scrum masters so we have have two bosses!)
Then came silos (due to agile...we don't care about anything outside our 2 week sprint!)
Now comes AI......(humans BAD, AI is good!)
Meanwhile, BE gets 22M per year, chainsaw gets 40M per year...and
...I get laid off!
We have been informed that the hertz office at 7725 W Reno in Oklahoma City is laying off a large number of employees and shifting the jobs to 3rd party company in India. As of right now we can stay with the company until the end of May 2026
Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.
Since our local troll started counterfeiting Slack totals to induce panic on the front page, I have to create this thread not waiting for March.
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.
I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.
Breakthru Beverage Group has undergone a “strategic review” of the company’s “overall business,” according to a memo sent to employees by CEO Tom Bené on Tuesday, leading to layoffs of approximately 500 people, sources confirmed to Brewbound.

Was picked and off payroll in 2 weeks. I didn’t find the PDF they sent very informative. Can anyone who’s been thru the process advise on best practices? What should I look to sign first, what should I handle first? What are some big don'ts ? Thanks in advance for positive assistance.
If you were laid off today or tomorrow check in. What department?
Heads up it’s getting started
I was notified that my position was being eliminated around 6am, before I even took a sip of coffee. SMH.
Yep. Writing was on the wall. But it finally hit home. I'm actually happy I got RIFD. It's the push I needed to get out of a company that under pays and never Values you as a person. Corporate leadership just gets more money. And the company declines. They will sell or close there doors. Watch. 👀
Does anyone know if there will be any layoffs in the SBG , considering that it’s one week now after the earnings call?
I've learned the old pattern of doing layoff's on Thursdays is being modified this year. They'll be doing them on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the foreseeable future. There were folks let go yesterday and there was one today in Optum Health and HR, tomorrow is OT's day of reckoning.
