#layoff

They just can’t cut enough. Too many coasters, too many pretenders. Too many lazy American to cut.

I was told yesterday thathI could be laid off in March. I'm a coordinator btw.BTW. So this is no rumor mill. It's happening again....

Lots of good people being let go. Not so surprising when the company is loosing money this badly and spending on outside solutions

Any idea if we will have October RIF 2nd Tuesday of the Month?

That really bothers me: I asked if our team was impacted by the upcoming October rifs. They said that the answer is no but the model is changing to more of a monthly cadence rif going forward.

Does not sound reassuring. People cannot work while continuously looking over shoulder my guess is this way they don’t have to make any media announcements

Like any private job, it is clear that AT&T doesn’t offer job security, it used to have long time ago. Now, in this situation where your job is always at risk even in the hubs, should folks just take a risk and purchase a home with enough cash in hand to survive a layoff or keep renting the rest of your life? Especially when Mortgages and rents work out same cost. What did the folks who decided to move did?

India was hit heavily, not sure about other areas yet.

A federal lawsuit claims Ford Motor Company used a rigged performance rating system to conduct a "soft layoff." The complaint alleges that HR instructed managers to give employees bad ratings to justify terminations. This system allegedly targeted older workers and those nearing retirement milestones. One analyst with 28 years of service was terminated shortly before a key pension benefit. The lawsuit seeks reinstatement or compensation for the affected employee.

Oracle UK employee.

I have an offer to leave. I have anxiety about handing my notice in.

Convince me

That's literally the only thing keeping me at Humana. Everything else has gone to he-l in a handbasket.

Kind of funny working in an environment where almost everyone WANTS to be laid off.

A federal lawsuit filed against Ford Motor Company alleges the automaker used a performance management system to create grounds for terminating salaried employees without conducting formal layoffs.

The complaint, filed on September 28 in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, centres on the termination of a 57-year-old data analyst who worked at Ford for 28 years and was approximately two years away from a key retirement milestone.

According to the filing, the employee's dismissal formed part of a wider company-wide "stealth" or "soft layoff" programme that allegedly relied on manipulated performance ratings to reduce headcount.

November is going to be huge for layoffs just in time for the hollidays

Does Dell usually lay people off ahead of the holidays?

Prepare for massive layoffs.
Chief of Staff and McKinsey only means layoffs because that's what McKinsey is famous for

Is this true? How worried should we be?

15%, December

I've never known anyone to be laid off while on medical leave. Are there other criteria being used in these decisions? Have people dealing with hardships been let go before, such as financial struggles, single-income households, or caring for an elderly or sick family member?

It was not good for me. I have never been "medicated" in my life, but I am now. Never experienced it before. Been having many "dark thoughts".

Still unemployed.

Rumor on the street is that Apollo is going to sell off the HED business to get back their money. Looks like another round of firing is coming. Brace for impact everyone!

Kaiser Permanente is implementing a substantial job cut, affecting nearly 150 employees across California. These layoffs are described as permanent and will take effect in November. The majority of the affected positions are in business and administrative functions, not direct patient care. The healthcare provider stated it will offer support to those impacted. These cuts are part of an ongoing evaluation of resource deployment.

So heard that the 16th is the shot for next month.. Anyone else hear of this?? I mean last year half of our team around this time got laid off. Better hope I'm in the country to take it!!

I'm saying this as somebody who was part of another similarly major acquisition. We've had our first round within a month of things being made official, but that was not the biggest one. Those were mostly directly redundant positions. A few months later, there was a monster of a round, with several smaller rounds following every few months. One of those got me. That's why I'm not looking forward to the next year, at least.

Anyone get the golden ticket today? If so group,location? Wish it was me!!

This is meant to track real-time news from the Comcast 2026-Q4 (Oct) & 2027-Q1 (March) layoffs. Please post real events / dates vs. speculation.

This post is only meant to track these events.
Please help others wherever possible. Going through a layoff is an awful experience.
Update your resume & LinkedIn profile, regardless if you are impacted or not.

Good luck, everyone.

I can confirm there will be a RIF impacting Finance and SD as well as others on 10-1.

I got word that there are more layoffs coming. any insights?

Ex-employee sues GlobalFoundries for wrongful dismissal claim | The Straits Times

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/ex-employee-sues-globalfoundries-for-at-least-528k-alleging-wrongful-dismissal

SINGAPORE – A former long-time employee of GlobalFoundries Singapore who was sacked in 2023 amid corruption investigations at the semiconductor manufacturer has sued the company for wrongful dismissal.

Anyone else think it’s a bit much that our leaders think it’s a good idea to continue cutting, cutting, cutting (shoving more work on the fewer people left), while outsourcing a ton of work (in many functions, not only GBS), and making people come back to outdated and smelling offices around the world only to often sit by themselves on Teams calls with bosses in different locations?

Maybe I’m the weird one, but this seems like complete insanity.

Be prepared everyone

Leadership team is planning a year end layoffs. The cut is around 15% across all LOBs.

Technology is reducing headcount by 10% in 2027.

Any one know? I’m talking about my 50% monthly discount on my mobile plan through VZ

Typically last RIF cycle is by 10/31. That gives the 60 days to carry current salaries and claim saving (reduction in headcount) going into 2027. (Minus any payouts that could carry over). Or if backfilled with offshore, then cost savings to account for going into 2027.

So if we make it through the next month, we're safe for the rest of the year? Is that correct?

Is there a specific date when we find out if we are being let go or not? This is all a big distraction, and it would be good for people to know if they are safe so they can better focus on their job.
