#layoff

If you or if you know anyone that got laid off this coming Monday/Tuesday, which country/region is the person from?

We are back baby !!

The Third Digital Transformation is under way. Here are some sights, sounds, & scenes on the way courtesy of the Layoff’s TIAA site:

By July 2025
the overall Accenture/TIAA recordkeeping performance scorecard was flashing red due to missed milestones and other failings.

In September 2025, the TIAA Board was finally made aware of the critical problems with the TIAA/Accenture Recordkeeping partnership.

Let the greatest show on earth begin !

Curious what severance is…Any thoughts?

I heard a rumor in the office today that the next round of layoffs is September 24th. Has anyone else heard this?

I’m reading there are supposed to be more layoffs in October for management in retail stores. Does anyone have any details on this?

In December, CW was exited and the role was eliminated by Hill stating it was to remove layers.

Today, role is reinstated and offered to JE from Walmart and is now considered a vital role and critical to the strategy.

Optically speaking, this is horrible. Leadership never beating the allegations that they are just throwing sh-t at the wall and seeing what sticks.

EH proving he isn’t the guy and must now make moves to set up his backfill.

If there are layoffs it seems the pattern is that they occur in September or October. Always right before the holiday season.

Did Centene ever re-hire the people they fired for not getting the jab like the military did? If so…..NO THANKS, we learned that our life is way better off without working for Centene.

Somewhere, there's a spreadsheet with your name on it. The criteria could be anything, tenure, pay, age, or who knows what. Just make sure you're ready.

I'm not even trying anymore. Most of my time is spent on the job search, since I know that no matter what I do, I'll be shown the the door at the end. I used to give it my all and then some every single day and I still got put on a PIP. I simply don't give a single damn anymore.

Microsoft fired 16,000 Americans and then turned around and hired 9,000 workers under H-1B.

Disney fired 250 employees… [and] had those 250 American employees train their replacements under H-1B.

Same with Ford, GM and Chrysler .
We have Americans that are skilled in all these different areas.

For your sanity, just assume every department will see cuts. You can either wait and see or take control and start looking now. I know that sounds harsh, but it's the reality.

These are growing in number, so I just thought to warn other people who're as desperate to leave as I am. Be careful of recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn, and if a job looks too good, it probably is. Check the name, the phone number, and the company. Sadly, times like these attract many predators.

From the ITS newsletter: "The Future Platform Evaluation initiative, led in partnership with Huron Consulting Group, will conclude in early September with recommendations and a high-level roadmap for our future direction. This effort has been shaped through close collaboration between ITS leaders and partners from across SNHU and will provide an important foundation for future decision-making."

Anyone else worried that layoffs are coming?

Are we now officially done with involuntary layoffs for a while? I can't figure out how many people were notified so far and if there are more notifications waiting for some future date.

They suddenly deactivated my account without anyone warning me. I was working on an important project and have a delivery next month. I know there are various layoffs happening in Europe, but usually they warn you before canceling your account. Has this happened to anyone else here? I don't understand if it's a mistake or a layoff.

I got laid off last year which was the best thing that has ever happened to me.

What has been happening since then? Is RTO still strict 5 days a week? Are they still tracking hours?

Has anyone heard of any layoffs ahead or are things still quiet?

I got laid off almost two weeks ago. I received a personal and work email for a job offer. It’s Employee Installation Representative. It’s for 5 months. It would not mess with my severance. I would get paid what I was making. Has anyone else received an email Iike this or accepted this?

Is LBT not working hard enough?

Surely our new leader was forthcoming with information so vital to our families livelihoods.

After successfully passing my PIP and last meeting with my manager yesterday. Today IBM sent me a termination letter. No severance. Nothing. Just take your stuff and bye.
My advice your you guys. Do not trust any manager at IBM.

I was informed off record by a manager within Allstate that "big changes" were right around the corner in Underwriting. Basically a large amount of layoffs will be occurring in Underwriting. Anyone else caught wind of this and if so are there any details to share?

…that you work for a company that wouldn’t p1ss on you if you were on fire.

A company that thinks it’s fine to have an all hands that unambiguously states that RIFs are happening in the next few weeks, even puts it in writing in a recap email, then does NOTHING, then does not even have enough respect for the human that it sends a follow-up email addressing what they themselves chose to put out there in terms of messaging. Accountability, you see, is only for us peons.

So yeah. Don’t sc--w over your team or the customer but “work to rule”. 8 hours. Don’t volunteer extra work. If you have a legitimate press contact share the email and that there’s been no update.

F@ck Enrique, executive bonuses, and this dying brand.

Will Dan lay off the entire Indian workforce, despite its established presence in India since 2000? Many employees appear to have been quietly removed by senior directors and HR. This raises serious concerns about the future of the Indian workforce and the organization’s long-standing presence in the country.

My interview loop was cut short with no reason other than the position was no longer available. Quite annoying but thankfully, the recruiter reached out before I invested more time in the process.

When is Another Verizon layoff hits in 2026?

What’s your estimate of how likely it is that we’ll have layoffs in November??? I know that nobody is certain, curious to hear what people are thinking.
