#layoff

I’m struggling to understand why we’re laying off People Team staff just because they’re remote, yet we’ve recently made remote hires in leadership roles who won’t be subjected to the same treatment. It feels inconsistent and unfair.
Anyone else smell the makings of a lawsuit?!!

BNYM has been saying they ‘need’ to layoff employees to cut costs for several Years now. How is this still a valid/acceptable statement???
I’d LOVE to see the financial records supporting BNYMs stance to continuously layoff employees, yet have thousand of open Career Opportunities available. It is costly to hire new employees, and layoffs create a fear based environment. Why isn’t BNYM committed to Develop and Retain employees???

Do you know the rule? Cannot locate it anywhere?

Informed that Minimed MDT will only be keeping contributing rolls and has started to inform individuals to look at other jobs in Medtronic and Minimed or elsewhere. They have until end of year or sooner.

Project managers, excessive middle managers be aware of your 1:1s coming up.

RIFS are happening this week they started today.

Rumor is massive layoffs tomorrow. Yet the severance policy hasn’t been adjusted downward, and I haven’t seen other obvious clues. Also it seems they should have done it in Q3 to offset the bad news we expect. Does anyone have insight? Otherwise I have to assume the big layoff will occur second week in December to capture it in 4Q.

500 people being severed at CN-US. Engineering this week....

Corporates , Technology, Product, Operations?

What sites getting whacked today? Who got the winning numbers?! Hows BARNHART still open

A commenter in another post said they would announce a RIF in the quarterly update. Anyone know anything?

Make sure you update your. Linkenin and go add lots of fake AI accomplishments to what you are good at. Also make sure you go to all your layed off friends and say great things about how hard they worked, they were the BEST EVER manager. It's great to show support for each other!

HC is flat to Q2 at 229K . Excluding Banamex still have 9K to hit Bora Bora targets.

Finance just got hit..

This time is a big one.

Are the layoffs this week or next week? Any credible sources?

Expecting layoffs due to government shut down. Certainly furloughs should be starting soon.

Bring on the layoffs and reorgs… been hearing rumors for several months and just ready to find out my path heading towards 2026. Best of luck everyone.

One of the first things I did after getting laid off was to request my phone contract be transferred from Oracle to a personal account. I followed the Oracle instructions and it's all good, except I have no idea how to unlock my iPhone (and neither does AT&T). Has anyone been successful in doing that? I would like the ability to use my dual Sim and possibly change provider down the road, but I have no visibility on the outstanding balance (if any)...

Dear exited US Foods family members, It is with deep sympathy that I add this post. I am new to posting though I read this board a couple times each week. I had a horrible weekend just thinking about those of you that we lost. I wonder if the leaders of those departments that lost coworkers also had a rough weekend and postponed some activities to think and pray for all of you. I wonder if they talked to their family members at dinner or at a family meeting about how there are people that are hurting and asking them to pray for them or even do a volunteer activity together to make sure their kids grow up with empathy and kindness for those who are hurting. It seems the many RIFs at work are making even my department feel how bad these can be. I wonder if any of the executives or even our department leaders, who are well connected looked at the openings on Indeed or Linkedin and found openings and decided to call friends they know at those companies to tell them about one of our affected former employees to give them a better chance to recover? Or will they sit around and drink and watch the baseball or football playoffs or hang out with friends and laugh at a fancy dinner. My friends and in my and other departments all took time to do the considerate things above and are calling our friends at other companies starting today to see if they can be hired. We called our former associates to see how they are doing and plan to continue. Some were doing fine but most were terrified and not in a good place. Two of them were so angry and off that they said some scary things. We considered telling our security department but thankfully we read the articles and hearing of his interactions with others in our department, we do not have the feeling that the security department Vice President will know what to do. I wondered if he would just talk about it openly to everyone in the same way he has about other things going on in the company or with his previous employer. My friends and I have talked this morning and decided to check on the ones with the irrational or hostile reactions and try to get them talking about other considerations. We know you we all affected before the holidays and ask that you reach out to those you still know who are still here if you need anything. We might be able to help as friends with finding work or giving money or something. I know of one of you that cancelled a trip a week to visit your cancer stricken mom because you can't afford to now. We have gathered some money together and will call you today to send it to you to help you with those costs. We hope readers on here will do the same for those you know who are no longer with us. Those of us in Human Resources know the severances are small and the services that are being offered are not worth the paper they are written on. We will be there for you. I close by asking those still here to help your former colleagues. I also vow to join those on this board and do what ever I can internally to force our leaders to take action. I did not realize how helpless one can feel to hear scary reactions from former associates and feel like there isn't anything that you can do because you know the person responsible for dealing with those consequences is not a man of integrity and is in over his head. He had the nerve to talk to a friend of mine in another department and tell him how bad our Field Vice President was handling WPV incidents in the past and how she opines too much now when complaints surface when they have to work together on an incident. Telling our internal field leaders to just call him directly next time is not acceptable. You are now part of our Human Resources department and ask that you behave as such. We also vow to be more helpful on your needs in our regions and to help our associates inside to let them feel the US Foods that I have grown to love in the many years I have been here. This was suppose to be a short post but it is hard to contain my feelings of what is happening in our beloved US Foods.

Quoting @fx+1k79fcw84

Centralized control is the result of inexperienced leadership, lack of accountability, resources that aren’t qualified, and resources unable to learn and grow because of the revolving door of people coming and going, along with being in a continuous state of re-organizing. Culture is throw bodies at it —- very, very wrong. Speed comes from quality, and quality comes from experience, experience comes from learning … and over arching it all is having people that care. Currently caring about doing things right, calling out what’s broken, what’s not working, what’s costing the company $’s - is very much discouraged because anyone perceived as rocking the boat is somehow ‘bad’. If everyone just follows the party line, things will not turn around. Wholesale changes? Above my pay grade, but leadership inspires, it does not degrade, denigrate, or make high performing individuals that are experts at their jobs feel like sh-t every day as they see the waste, inefficiency, incompetence, and their colleagues discarded like cattle. Is a lot of people that care, but their hands are tied. We can be so much better. Focus on Sport? Awesome… but let’s focus on our Customers, fixing what’s broken, and treating employees like what they are - the single most important resource. How are people going to be inspired when they see 1-2 people laid off from a team that are replaced by 30-40 outsourced resources, that do nothing, fix nothing, and dump their issues on the fewer & fewer resources remaining that can actually get stuff done, understand both Tech & Business, etc. Is like having a soccer team full of stars & journeyman pro’s, and replacing it with your cousin’s brother’s middle school rec squad. Cheaper isn’t better - nor is it ever really cheaper, because is just shifting the work somewhere else.

Those who thought ivi is safe have big one coming soon, all ivi work will move to Canada except the LL6/ll5 , they have to manage it or leave as well. Big ramp-up is happening on the other side so that’s a reliable news

A friend from Meta suggested that if I’m impacted, I should tell them I won’t sign anything until I’ve reviewed the contract with a lawyer. Has anyone actually done that and been able to negotiate anything? Any advice if we end up in that situation?

Received workday tasks this morning. Self evaluation (which feels weirdly early) and another about updating your veteran/disability status? Maybe I’m freaking out for no reason but is this a sign of anything

Leaking that the time is right for eoy packages. Rif will be in full swing

So we all going to be logging OT today. If we get let go tomorrow submit time cards. If not, change it and don’t risk it.

"I’ve been in meetings with very senior leaders and they are hunting through the ranks of B9-10 and D to find folks to let go to make room for higher bands in India."

I thought the next big round was 10/30 but I keep seeing 10/16. Is this true??

Tactics will be used to simply encourage employees to leave the company.
No relocation
No guarantees
No housing assistance
You are on your own.
Much of the work will be absorbed by Dallas, Contractors, and India.

Well, since the pipeline is crawling, I have lots of time to search for another job. I can't believe what this company has done to it's self. You can track my utilization till the cows come home. Wait, while at it, shuffle some execs around to keep the worker bees thinking that something magical is going to happen, or pop, it's not. There used to be 15 on the team, now we have been dwindled down to 3. Winning!!!! Wait, I have an idea, let's acquisitionFLYwheel another company to try and get deeper in some accounts while offshoring is being done not so quietly in the background and "teammates" are being clobbered. Zero clue, zero talent. I think today, I'll let InsightGPT re-write my resume and get some certifications since clients aren't picking up the phone... Just wondering when the CAPtian team team are going to get to boot?

How's IT impacted?

I used to care. I really did. Now, with everything, I’m hoping I get laid off so I can move on.

People keep saying it’s just business, but that doesn’t make it hurt less. Years of effort, and they toss you aside like it’s nothing.

My boss set up a casual coffee chat to catch up in one of the corner meeting rooms. Halfway through the conversation HR and security walks in and I’m told I’m being let go.

WTF is this cowardice move, at least have the decency to lay people off in a respectful manner

Today i was told I'm being affected. 2.5 YOE with severance 4wks pay.

3 executives in marketing let go. Heard they are looking at all 29 and above for rounds 2 and 3. If you don’t have 5 or more direct reports you’ll be in trouble. Saying too top heavy

How long did it take for the toxicity to leave your system? When did the happiness start again in your life? I'm going though the 5 stages, but can already tell I am much more calm and don't need the bottle anymore. I'm thinking it just gets better from here. Money? Yep need that, and it is inducing some stress into my life, but it feels much different than the environment at work while I was there.
At least on the money side, I can take personal action to fix it. The office environment? Nope. Just had to endure.....
