#layoff

Nothing else. Just good old greed. When will they figure out that if you put profit above everything, you destroy the company? Then there's no profit for anybody.

The company has me in a state of mind where being laid off seems preferable to staying here. Just imagine how bad things are if somebody who's been here for over a decade is thinking that way.

I've seen good people try to make things better repeatedly. They proposed ideas, challenged bad processes, and tried to push change, and all they got for that was being put on the next layoff list. The only way to survive this place is to keep your head down and do what you're told. The new Dell way.

The hardest part is still having to work. Why. You don’t want me here, let me go.

Stop sitting around and letting a company steal your peace.

Update your résumé. Network. Start looking. Don’t wait for a company to value you when their actions show they don’t.

I recently resigned from UHC after nearly 30 years. After decades of dedication, there was no “thank you” or “job well done”—just “go ahead and sign out; we’ll pay you for your two weeks.”

I found a fully remote job making more money than I was after nearly 30 years. That taught me something: your job is not your life, and your employer does not own your peace.

If you’re miserable, stressed, or sacrificing your health for a company that doesn’t appreciate you, start making your exit plan.

Stop being their puppet on a string. Take control of your life back. Your peace, health, and happiness are worth more

anyone have experience working with an attorney to negotiate your severance package? trying to see if this is worth my while. also leadership is threatening not to allow me to use my vacation time during the last two weeks, even though the language in the severance paperwork is vague and says vacation/sick cannot "typically" be used during your last 2 wks..work with your PL if "unique" situation. Thanks all. I am so ready to be done with this mindf*ck of a place.

Finally and officially. After all these years of dedicated work, I leave with no recognition, no empathy, no real thank you, and not even an opportunity to say goodbye to my team or colleagues or people I knew. Just a simple, “We'll contact you with instructions to return your equipment” and a forced “thank you for your time with the company.” No goodbye. No ceremony. No acknowledgment of working ten years. Just a "log off and be done." WOW. I never imagined I'd be treated as insignificant as I was by management after giving so many years to this company. It honestly feels like they had been waiting for this moment and wanted me gone long ago. But you know what? I'm finally out. And that's what matters now. Overall the company has become more toxic and unpredictable. In retrospect, I'm glad I'm finally gone.

Someone crucial to the daily and long-term operations of our team was let go today in a RIF. Our work will slow down and become more difficult because of it. Those we support will feel the consequences, too.

Don’t let anyone tell you that those let go are only the bad employees. This was someone with years of dedicated service who performed at a high level. Leadership at this company is only interested in a short term gains. There is no longterm strategy.

and she is firing people again. Is not insane!
IT IS DIABOLICAL!!!! IS A DEMON!

They come from every organization, bringing a wide range of expertise and experience. Together, they could potentially form a new team or company capable of competing for—and even taking—contracts currently held by Hughes.

Are there any rules around this? I'm scheduled to come back from my leave of absence in October

Does anyone know how long its taking the firm to liquidate LP's after ISP? My last day was July 2 and I still haven't gotten my LP liquidation. Just curious if anyone that had an LP after being ISP'ed can tell me about how long it took to get the liquidation.

It's been a pleasure working with you all I had some great times and consider myself an overachiever but these last few months have drained all my energy. I wish everyone the best, specially those that stay behind. Over and out.

If I get LR’d, and don’t return my Cisco laptop will they brick it? Has anyone successfully kept their Mac laptop functioning after removing all the Cisco bloat?

Realignment means layoffs approaching, they combine orgs to reduce headcount and give remaining employees (all 3 of them) all the work. God speed everyone!

More unfortunate news today?

"Dell's rumored layoffs land on a workforce that never stopped shrinking"

The article talks about a rumored 6000 to 15000 people to be laid off. It's based on rumor and the rumor is that it will be concentrated in ISG Presales and Overlay Sales roles. According to the author, it may be confirmed in direction but not in scale.

Heard this location is closing in Nov 26'. Can anyone confirm? Bank relocating wealth MGMT and I heard they're getting rid of short term cash/money desk.

Getting laid off from Truist was the best thing that happened to me. It just took time to see it.

It's the same everywhere. New people come in at a discount, and people who've been here longer and cost more get pushed out the other side. It's not about skill or loyalty. It's about the spreadsheet. The room only holds so many people, and they've already decided which door you're getting pushed through.

I want to know if direct PLs were given any say in exactly who they let go from their teams. I’m also just curious about the criteria for who stays and who goes in general. Were you told a number or a job title you had to RIF, were you given exact names, was it based on past performance, etc?

My team lost its newest hire (who was honestly great, so I’m bummed for them) plus someone who’d been around for 5-10 years and was admittedly unexpected — unless PLs got to choose.

Los Angeles Unified School District has approved a significant pay increase for its employees, but now faces a substantial deficit. To cover the costs, the district plans to lay off thousands of its newest employees, primarily teachers. This decision is largely driven by California's "last in, first out" (LIFO) layoff law, which prioritizes senior employees. Union leaders negotiated the deal, knowing the implications for younger staff. The district's financial instability has led to county oversight and concerns about mismanagement.

Oracle is initiating another round of layoffs, with some departments facing significant cuts. This move follows substantial investments in AI infrastructure and a previous reduction of 21,000 employees. The company is seeking to complete these cost-saving measures before the second fiscal quarter begins. These actions come as Oracle's debt and lease commitments have grown considerably. The company has also acknowledged AI's role in past job reductions.

I have heard of a merger with the PSLs. From 12 to 8 PSLs. This has come with layoffs. Can someone confirm this? What is going on? There is always something happening. I read the other chat saying it could be because of Shannon taking over Jeff.

FedEx is laying off 173 workers across Southern California due to a multi-year network transformation. This reorganization aims to combine air and ground operations into a single logistics system. Several shipping facilities in Palm Springs, Victorville, and San Diego will permanently close. These layoffs are part of a larger initiative to achieve significant annual savings. The company is providing support to affected employees through job placement and relocation assistance.

My manager is MIA, so we never got an all-clear from him.

And it never gets easier. I'm now almost hopeful about getting laid off just to put a stop to it. Almost.

A state watchdog agency has indicated that the Los Angeles Unified School District could have avoided its current financial crisis by not replacing departing staff. The district is now facing significant layoffs to address a $3.6 billion deficit. Despite authorizing thousands of layoffs, only a fraction were implemented, resulting in minimal savings. The district's solvency plan includes further job reductions, furlough days, and benefit changes, all requiring union negotiation. Ultimately, the school board must demonstrate the commitment to execute these necessary cuts.

.. I appreciated going out like the ending of an 80s movie .. middle fingers up and walking away. Good riddance!

Just one more opportunity to AEOI please! - Mike, ELT and HR are you listening? If most of us knew how bad it was going to be we would have put our hands up right away. Some of us need the cushion before making our next move.

Sharp HealthCare is implementing a realignment affecting approximately 260 employees, a year after a previous round of layoffs. This move impacts various clinical and administrative roles across the organization. CEO Chris Howard cited reductions in federal reimbursement programs, including Medicaid and Medicare, as the primary driver for these necessary cuts. Despite a reported operating loss, the organization aims to achieve break-even operations and secure funds for future investments. Some behavioral health positions are being restructured to comply with new state staffing mandates.

I got the emails yesterday to confirm all of my personal information, emergency contacts and mailing address. I know they do this here and there, but it also seems like they have done this right before a big cut.

I have no basis for this - just my gut. I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, at least it'll be done and I can stop worrying - 15 years of this garbage and I've had enough.

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page warned of potential police layoffs if new revenue sources are not found. He cited insufficient funding from Prop P to cover rising police department costs. Page suggested using Rams settlement funds or a new online sales tax as solutions. County Council members dismissed his warning as a "scare tactic" and denied plans for layoffs. The county is facing a significant budget deficit for the upcoming year.
