#layoff

Was anyone in HouseCalls laid off or is that next?

My app stopped working and when I sign out and back in it tells me to sign up for a subscription. Still have access to the computer for now but I think I might be getting let go. :(

Given that some other companies are doing "voluntary" buyouts for employees, how likely would it be done at HCSC, but not just for managers/directors like the 2025 RIFs?

Can anyone explain how a 3 year ban on working for Skydance after a buyout serves the best interest of the company? It seems like they wouldn't offer you work unless they needed your skills. So why would they impose this ban?

I miss being able to work at General Atomics as a flightline mechanic in Palmdale, CA. I am still devastated from the 2020 layoff and having a hard time dealing with the loss of my job there. It is hard to go on living. Is anyone else feeling the same?

I am still devastated and having a hard time moving on in life regarding being layed off ftom General Atomics in 2020. I was a flight line mechanic at the Palmdale location. It has been a really depressing past six years.

So today's my last day at FactSet after 20 years of dedicated hard work at a company that I would call my family. Not anymore since they rejected me. Oh of course they gave me a substantial amount of money to say that I agreed to leave without regrets or complain. But we all know that it's bull.
I wanted to stay but the new management doesn't care. I did everything Sanoke and its minions asked us to do, and more. Ideathon and Hackathon. Spent countless evenings and even more working on agents and Ai. Produced my best performance year.
But I cost too much apparently and nothing else mattered.
Don't fool yourselves, you're just numbers and the ones that stay are just better at politics than you are.
It seems we were building something great but in the end it's just about money. Not ours for sure.
So let me give a bit middle finger to those ELT heartless slaves and farewell to the good souls staying.
Another adventure awaits where I will seek once more respect, identify and meaning in an AI world.

Just curious what people's thoughts are on taking the buyout, it seems low to take the risk in the current job market.

Also why can't the xbox team figure out how to unpair aheadset from the Xbox...

I am not that sure. I wouldn't be surprised another group gets laid off two weeks from now.

Several examples of recently PiPd employees being hired back as contractors. Sure does feel like great info to use to justify a class action lawsuit. If they were such terrible employees why in the world would we want to hire them back as contractors!

Layoff 120000 corporate employees. Then you will get super positive free cashflow.

Honestly so sick of this. Working all hours, smashing it every time, and no one even notices. Get glowing "coaching" reviews and then I'm still sat here waiting to get binned off for no reason. Living day by day, hour by hour, waiting for the axe to fall. Proper done in

So you'll double your salary?

I've heard from first round, this was explicitly prohibited. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I was with the brand for 16 years until the last reorg, been trying to find a job since. Nike experience does not seem to translate anywhere else. Been looking for 4 months without much luck. a few interviews here and there but nothing great.

Word on THE STREET is that she is FED UP with the number of director and above positions and those numbers gotta come down.

Maybe time to take that informal RETIREMENT PACKAGE right the F now.

I got that straight from 'Tadpole.'

Microsoft is extending voluntary buyout offers to approximately 60,000 employees, representing about a quarter of its global workforce. This initiative aims to manage headcount and avoid further layoffs. Eligible employees at the vice president level and below in the U.S., Canada, India, and the United Kingdom can accept the offer by early December. The program builds on a successful voluntary retirement program from earlier this year. This move allows employees considering leaving to do so with support while helping the company adapt its workforce.

Microsoft is reportedly offering voluntary buyout packages to approximately 60,000 employees, representing over a quarter of its workforce. An ex-VP of HR at Microsoft advises employees to carefully evaluate these offers, considering factors like compensation, benefits, and equity vesting. The decision hinges on individual financial situations, retirement plans, and the current challenging tech job market. Taking a buyout could provide a head start in job searching if layoffs follow. Expanding professional networks is also crucial for navigating career transitions.

Any SNF PSCs impacted today so far?

The finance organization shared the full list of laid-off employees. Shame on you, Chryssa Halley! Have some respect for personal privacy. If you can’t keep 22 names confidential, how can you run Fannie Mae’s finances? Resign immediately, and take your SVPs and their VPs with you!

Chryssa Halley didn’t speak for the first two minutes. Her video and mic were off. When she was supposed to explain what was going on, she froze. If you don’t have the guts to tell people they are laid off, don’t occupy CFO title.

People Inc. has announced significant workforce reductions. The company is laying off 195 employees, representing approximately 6% of its total staff.

from prior rumor on this site, expected 16 weeks plus years of employment - 2. turns out to be exactly 1 week per year at work. and you expect daily work duties until 12/31?

I know of two people who were let go in the last couple of weeks. Both received severance. This is the first time I've heard of people being let go with severance outside of regular layoffs. Is this something that happens often?

Just let go.

Somebody who just joined a few months ago?

It feels worse than I expected, to be honest. I'm petrified, considering how bad the job market is. The severance doesn't seem enough considering how low everybody's chances are at finding something new any time soon. Good luck to the rest of you, something tells me you'll need it.

Just saying

I have heard there were layoffs on the India Dev side but have not heard anything about US layoffs yet. My manager disclosed that she believes it will happen on other teams but no one is sure of the full impact. Has anyone else heard anything?

Sun Life Canada employees are being told to return to office, for minimum 2 days per week starting in January. Not sure if other business areas will be told to return too. Could be a sign of layoffs coming as this seems to be the route many companies take to get people to quit before they start offering buyouts.

I have lost access to everything. No workday or email. They said my last day would be December 31st. and then the severance package would kick in. Is this what happened to most of you? Also, did they say anything about the bonuses or RSUs?

A few folks I know or work distantly with have suddenly left in the last week or two, definitely not by choice. Are people getting quietly laid off or put on PIPs that set them up to fail? Do we no longer do the big earnings LRs?

Just had my call with my manager. There are more conversations happening today. 12 years with stellar performance and they really just bend you over. I guess the severance is supposed to the lube. Fu-k this place.

Tuesday has always been the layoff day, rarely Friday.

Denver7 has eliminated at least 28 positions as part of a larger company-wide effort by E.W. Scripps. This wave of layoffs contributes to a total of 850 job cuts across Scripps this year, representing nearly 20% of its workforce. The company states these reductions are a strategic move to adapt to evolving news consumption habits across various platforms. Affected roles were primarily in traditional newscast production and station operations, with on-air talent remaining unaffected. Scripps is also creating 100 new roles focused on field reporting and community engagement.

This move suggests a significant restructuring within the tech giant.

Since my manager and several coworkers were let go, I can't settle into work anymore. I'm always trying to read the signs and figure out whether another round is coming for me. I've been searching for another job, but nothing has worked out so far. I needed somewhere to admit how hard it is to keep acting normal through all this.

My manager has unofficially told me that I am impacted. I'm getting prepared for this day next week.

May god bless all of you.
