I put all my ducks in a row to the best of my ability, but I'll be honest here, I've started thinking that being laid off would be better than staying here. It's not normal to have layoffs all the time. They want us to think it is, but it's not. The job is not supposed to be the source of so much stress. It's really not. I remember a time when it wasn't, even here. And I'm just so tired of it.

My team seems to be safe but that could change in a few days when our Director returns. Is it too late to notify your team that it has been affected by the June 15th layoffs?? How does this work?

Any layoffs coming to Columbus Ohio location??

Any word on layoffs of H&C PCRs or SICCs?

laying people off IO, two so far

If you join citi after severance ended, do you have pay them back?

I really want out of this place, but I don't want to leave empty-handed. I wish they offered a VOB or something like that.

I'd like to be gone before the merger-related bloodbath starts, but there seem to be no jobs available.

Can we go back to the time when we were able to focus on our work without having to worry about losing our jobs 24/7?

Every time I survived. The only reason I stay is because I refuse to leave severance on the table after spending almost two decades here. The way it's been going, I'll retire before they lay me off, with my luck.

Looks like we’re getting hit every three months. No wonder morale is in the gutter.

As in July or August?

I've heard some people had to wait for a few months and I'm having trouble believing that.

The management is chanting "AI" in every meeting, even the office plants know the next layoff is coming soon. Stop waiting for the axe to cut your head. If you’re eyeing the exit, get your interview script ready. If you’re worried about the bank account, find a side hustle. If you’re the sharpest technical mind in the room, stop fixing your manager's broken Excel formuls, let them figure out how to "AI" their way out of a circular reference. If you possess knowledge within your team that others do not, stop sharing it; Your kindness is pushing your own head into a noose.

@b9+1kr2g8fby is 100% right.

An employee reportedly forfeited an $80,000 payout. This followed a casual comment made during an exit interview. The worker was initially laid off and anticipated the payment. The company reportedly changed his termination status. Consequently, the expected severance was then withdrawn.

U.S. layoffs reached 5.2 million by March 2026. The tech sector saw significant job cuts. Major tech companies reduced staff, citing AI shifts. Many terminated workers lose their group life insurance. Experts advise against relying solely on employer-provided coverage.

Many workers report being laid off, only to see similar roles reposted later. Employment attorney Chiquita Hall-Jackson calls this a "quiet repost" and sees it often. This practice can create significant legal exposure for employers, potentially leading to lawsuits. Workers should examine layoff demographics and document all workplace communications. Understanding legal rights during layoffs is crucial as job security evolves.

I'm going to be such a mess before it finally happens. Not gonna lie, this feels like psychological torture to me.

I've heard the rumor both in the office and on layoffs.com - not sure how realistic is to expect that?

Do you have any info on this (BTD and BTC Layoffs - Q3/Q4 Prediction)? Given the stock valuation they will have to find $$$ somewhere. Chime in if you have any info.

I work for Avis Budget in Reno, NV as a car washer. But only until June 5th because then they have decided to lay off all car washers and drivers and replace us entirely with temps.

I'm not asking if there is a LR or not (we're past that) but % wise

because of transition to Cognizant. I am from Costa Rica as a CS rep and my manager mentioned today that there will be no lay offs in the coming future? Majority of my counter parts in MN are doing zero work and most of the projects are put on hold. Hope someone in the top management has a clue of whats going on. Its very bad to put all the employees in this unknown state.
