#layoff

There have been rumors for a while, do we know something concrete by now or not?

Does anyone know what we can expect?

Three layoffs in a row has taken most of the shock out of it for me. I hoped Oracle would break the streak, but chances are I was wrong. It was a good year and a half, I guess.

Let's get it done and move on. Waiting is ten times worse in my book.

Not sure when exactly, so if you know more, please share.

If you’re not someone who owns the service at the IC4/IC5 level, you’re probably on the list. The last RIF targeted similar roles, and leadership has been pretty clear that AI is increasing productivity and that we can get more done with fewer people. So, indirectly, management is being pushed to cut IC3 and below.
One thing I’d also keep in mind is when your RSUs vest. If a significant portion of your RSUs is scheduled to vest in the next 60 days, that could be an important factor to consider. That’s just how things seem to be playing out.

Take some time off, don’t immediately jump into a job search. Go spend time with family and friends. Take that trip you talked about but never took. Enjoy the freedom. There are better jobs and companies out there, a layoff from Oracle will be a blessing in disguise.

For those who have been impacted, how long after your last paycheck did you receive your severance payment?

Really interesting LinkedIn post from dr parsons. Sad to see him go.

I was coldly let go a few months ago. I took some time to deal with the consequences of what they did to me, but now, I'm ready to go back to work. Could mentionning TD on my resume be a deal-breaker preventing potential employers to hire me? I've stayed for 5 damn years in this sh*tty company 🤡, so it isn't something I just can hide 😞! 5 years with my mental health declining, not enough sleep, nightmares, etc. So for those of you, who like me, aren't there anymore, how did you do it? How did you convince an employer to hire you after TD? Sending hugs and take care ❤️

FYI- I received an email around 5pm with the following info:

Due to an error in Workday, your severance documents were not pushed to you as intended. Therefore, we have moved to process your severance benefits manually. Please note that you will not be able to sign your agreement in Workday due to this error. We will need you to either print, sign and scan the document to be emailed back to us, or use any electronic signature application to sign it instead.

Fiserv's back door program TO GET RID OF GOOD PEOPLE WITHOUT SEVERANCE IS is PIP..

Manager puts you in PIP.. cr-p .. you have been here for 20+ years , recorded high performance, then puts all kinds of restrictions to not come into office , not show up in office over the weekends to make up the work.. then HR sh-t terminates in 2 minutes.. no discussion and no conversation...

We need a class action lawsuit on this process.. working with a damn good employment attorney..

Heard from a reliable source that a massive (600+ people) are getting let go at the beginning of October. Was told it impacts every level….Just wanted to give others a heads up in case your manager is acting funny 🫠

Co-worker VZ ASSOCIATE in NY just received company offer via email regardg surplus declared and offer. Offer closes OCT 2 termination OCT 10.

For anyone who was RIF'd- how does it work with RSUs? Is that all gone or do you get paid out? I see present vesting dates are 3/1/2027 and 3/1/2028

Did any one had a better lucky not signing release of claim? And filing a lawsuit on layoffs?

The Ontario Science Centre has laid off 31 employees, according to the union representing them. These job reductions have reportedly eliminated the centre's standalone science unit. The provincial government stated these changes are part of a plan to deliver science learning experiences at new locations. They also indicated that new roles would be created, with some available to affected individuals. The union expressed strong disapproval, questioning the purpose of a science centre without a science unit.

Not a single caring word from management. Feeling nothing for laying off employees with babies. May their children be laid off when they have babies. May no one extend kindness to them when they are in trouble. Fair enough!

Educational Testing Service will eliminate 62 positions at its Princeton facility. This action is part of a larger workforce adjustment. The layoffs are scheduled to occur in two phases. Affected employees will be separated on November 9 and December 31, 2026. The organization is a major nonprofit focused on educational assessment.

Ruiz Foods is implementing layoffs affecting approximately 175 positions at its Dinuba manufacturing plant. These reductions are scheduled to take effect on November 4th. The company cited a need to align production capacity with anticipated customer demand as the reason for the cuts. Employees were informed of the decision on September 2nd, and the Dinuba facility currently employs around 1,400 individuals. Eligible workers will receive severance packages and may have opportunities to apply for positions at other Ruiz Foods locations.

A family-owned trucking company has announced its closure following a failed attempt to find a buyer after filing for bankruptcy. The business owes a significant amount to its lender, which contributed to its inability to continue operations. This closure will result in the permanent layoff of 74 employees. The company has begun liquidating its equipment as part of the formal winddown process. Notices were also sent to independent contractor drivers as a precautionary measure.

Jay Hagler is leaving - can’t tell if it’s voluntary or not, either way another rat is leaving the ship!

Who else ?

Condolences (or congratulations) to you. If you wouldn't mind:

Does he still work at PayPal? What are his hours? Will he grace us again with his words of wisdom? Interviewed like he’s on a talk show?

Seriously this guy is the worst leader. He’s leaving the management up to everyone else, and everyone has the same questions. You would think that after a layoff he would get up in front of the company and talk about the next steps. Get everyone excited again.

WHERE ARE YOU ENRIQUE?!? You asked for this de-layering but nothing has changed for you.

Have seen several post regarding questions about severance payout. The specifics vary from country to country and the time he made to, but in the US payment is not paid on the normal pay cycle.

Ruiz Foods has announced another round of layoffs affecting 176 employees at its Dinuba, California facility. This marks the second such reduction in California since the company relocated its headquarters to Texas two years ago. The company cited a need to align production capacity with anticipated customer demand as the reason for the decision. Despite these layoffs, the Dinuba plant will remain operational and is considered a critical part of Ruiz Foods' manufacturing network. This follows a previous layoff of 215 employees at a Tulare facility.

Indie game developer KO_OP is reducing its workforce by 13 employees to ensure the studio's survival. The company stated that this decision was made to prioritize the studio's continuation over profit maximization. KO_OP claims to have conducted these layoffs democratically, with the team aware of the financial situation and approving the decision. Affected staff, including team leads and executives, will receive their agreed profit share from the game Young Suns. The studio intends to rehire staff if future funding is secured.

Supervisor here. There was an unspoken agreement between employees and supervisors that when people were NRE we would put them in NSI to protect the team as a whole. Most employees were ok with this. Now that NRE is gone if we put the NRE engineers in NSI they will lose their retiree benefits so we are forced to put younger people in NSI. Supervisors trying to figure out what to do as they keep taking away the few levers we had to make their sh---y assessment system work. Do the math. If two NSIs in 5 years means automatic firing there is no way to protect everyone. If you have a group of five people and everyone takes a turn being NSI, after year five you have to start firing people. This is what they want.

Emerson College is implementing layoffs affecting staff in finance and admissions departments. The institution attributes these workforce reductions to declining enrollment numbers. Increased competition for domestic students is also cited as a contributing factor. These job cuts extend to procurement roles as well. The college is adjusting its operations in response to these market pressures.

Did you guys get an email about returning equipment. In the post I've seen on here its talking about how to return the computer and docking station. I dont hear anything about the monitors and stands what happens to those? I have no space for this stuff.

keep canceling. pay lower prices for better services. layoff verizon leadership

I'm happy to have gotten the VTP payout of 104 weeks pay.

Sr. leadership gets paid more for added responsibilities, while everyone below director gets added responsibilities for free because we’re “short on money.”
And RIP to anyone getting promoted this year and next—tiny bump now, no merit next year, and twice the work. Biggest corporate scam ever.
Hopefully those layoffs saved us a sh-t ton of money because damn.

According to some inside guess, the scale of this round of layoffs may be much smaller than originally expected. It appears that only certain departments are accelerating outsourcing to India, with just a single-digit number of U.S.-based employees being laid off, rather than the large-scale workforce reductions that had initially been anticipated.

I worked as a senior director for centene for almost 9 years. There are several VPS that I would love to see handed their backside and would love to know if there is a list of VPs who have been let go, laid off, or left the company. There are several of them that I would love to see them on. The welfare line are absolutely broke. They deserve it.

I know all of us at Fiserv live under this persistent threat of a layoff looming over us, but I was wondering if there was anything in your immediate range where you thought you were going to get laid off and eventually did. What were the signs? Not enough work to do? Offshoring work? Lot of deconverted clients to sustain the business unit? Financial losses specific to the business unit? Etc. Or were any of you genuinely surprised you were targeted for the layoff.

Personally speaking I would not be surprised because there are many warning signs in close proximity to me but not just simply that Fiserv isn't doing well as a whole. Too much disruption and offshoring is what I've been seeing operationally.
