#layoff

The next wave will likely be end of October which will land around the Q3 earnings call. Followed by early Jan or late Feb ahead of Q1 close.

Pretty much follows Enrique’s playbook from HP. He executed RIF in waves. We still have about 1B to go on cost savings. Saved about 400M so far.

I saw a notification in my LinkedIn stating a person from BCG (Boston Consulting Group) visited my profile. Is this a signal, good or bad?

BCG is linked to structural changes and cost-cutting push at Kroger.

Layoffs went from being an occasional thing, to being once or twice a year, to being a quarterly thing, and we're now at basically monthly layoffs. What's next? Weekly? Daily? Why don't they just lay all of us off right now and put us out of our misery once and for all?

I left Cisco 72 hours ago and I have slept every single night since. Letting me go was one of the best decisions Cisco ever made for ME. I’m just glad it’s all over with and I can live my life.

Just wondering how soon after getting laid off did you all start applying for jobs. Did you wait until after the 60-day displacement notice period?

Luckily, we're a united front and telling them to go fu-k themselves (in much nicer terms, of course). We were already overworked and now they want more from us? He-l no.

Am I missing some official notice?

Does a single person have any concrete information on the next round of layoffs? Anything other than the omnipresent "layoffs are coming, be ready?"

If I'm laid off, what are all the necessary steps I need to do right after? I'm assuming giving back any equipment, but outside of that?

Can anybody confirm?

Brace yourselves...multiple news sources carrying the same headline...

What is the point. All they have to do is wait for 3 months and LR you without any explaination.

FIS is preparing of next wave of layoff before Oct 16. The target is to have lean middle management. Non technical managers in IT services are being consolidated. Each manager will have at least 2 teams. Next 30 days, the managers are asked to provide details of projects they handle.

The projected number is 1000 employees. This is last layoff event of 2026. After that- blackout period starts where there will be no changes due to holiday season.

In case you were hoping we were done.

Can you move your vested cash balance funds to another servicer/provider after a layoff?

AI PROMPT:

Please create layoff plan for ATT to make it profitable. Trim out unnecessary management levels and identify areas of C-level management that needs replacement to boost employee morale.

So rumor has it that people’s lives will change again on 9/14.

It is OK for you to be mad if you’re caught up in this and you lose your job. Not one person will be terminated next week because of your performance, dedication or hard work. You’re going to be RIF’d because of other decisions that are being made way above you. I have watched this company for years, make bad decisions and then clean them up via layoff.

And if your name and or your team ends up on the short end of this, it is going to be directly because someone, some human being made a determination about the value of your work. And I think it’s OK to channel that anger.

Because I’ve been on the other side of putting these lists together and it is way less scientific than people want to believe. Gender, race, age, and whether or not leadership likes you has more to do with this than anyone here would want to believe.

I’m sorry that everyone has to go through this now has to experience this. But my guess is you’ve been there long enough to have seen this and survive these. So no one should really be surprised that eventually they come for everyone.

And the only person that matters at Oracle is Larry. And what that means is that eventually all of these SVP’s who constantly survived the chaos one day too will be asked to leave the company. How different the leadership team books from but it was just 18 months ago and what it will look like 18 months from now.

For my money, it’s OK to think that the senior people in someway or sociopathic monsters because they’re so easily capable of creating these situations.

And after you get through your anger, things will be fine, but don’t suppress your emotion and or talk yourself out of feeling the disappointment that this will create.

And for the love of God, do not post a Moore message on LinkedIn about thanking Oracle for all the great years.

Good luck in the next week.

I know some people whose husbands and wives have to quit their existing jobs and follow the other to Dallas to rebuild their dreams, only to know the other person has lost their job in 1 year of move. I understand families have emergency fund for this situation, but what else did you do to rebuild, because if getting another job was so easy, they could have landed one in their hometown.

How do you work at a place where a humiliating exit, at a time not of your choosing, is universally guaranteed? Surely folks aren’t that hard up for money that they need to sell their body at a place like this?

Multiple sources from Blind Posts pointed out Layoff will be US 9/14 AND IDC 9/15. And this time it doesn't seem like bull**it

We know 9/14 will be IDC holiday so it postpone to 9/15.
Townhall will be 9/15 for US but it is recorded so no live session answering any questions. Same video will be share to IDC folks I assume.

There are signifficant layoffs happening, but no official communication has been ever shared, what is the percentage? It's horrible that people I work with just dissapear.
Standard tasks take now not weeks but months. Several roles managed by one employee for the same salary. Rinse and repeat.

So stressed, that I want to go to my manager and ask to be in next layoff if this is possible.

However, it will only make sense if the severance is good. To rest a bit, prep, and go back to the interviews.

Could someone share the light on the severance package? Thanks!

I was laid off at the start of the year, but managed to find a new job quickly. My team was dysfunctional to put it mildly, with no support and a manipulative culture. After 6 months, a friend tells me they replaced me with someone younger and cheaper, who lasted three full weeks before quitting under the same strain. Can't say I didn't laugh and feel somewhat vindicated.

We always have layoffs in October, I don't see why this year would be different.

In the past when there were layoffs in October, layoffs would happen the first Tuesday of the month. In that scenario what was the end date? was it month end (10/30) or was it 12/31? or did it depend on whether they needed you to finish up the year end work? was bonus prorated or did you get the whole thing? could you accelerate your end date?

My wife, who worked remotely for another telecom, woke up a few months ago to find all her access revoked before she even saw the termination email. She got no warning, and they certainly didn't bother with a conversation. Just an early morning cold email and silence. Even Verizon isn't that much of an a--hole.

I have very mixed feelings about leaving. Part of me wishes I could have stayed and continued my healthcare career with the company. But another part of me recognizes that, based on my experience, management and the environment created by its leadership ultimately made staying no longer sustainable for me.

Over time, I witnessed significant changes in the workplace. Policies and procedures were not always clearly documented or communicated, yet employees were still held to expectations that were not always clearly outlined. In my experience, there was also too much favoritism, and what once felt like a close-knit environment gradually became one where people seemed to be looking out for themselves and, in some cases, trying to remain in management's good graces.

I also observed situations where employees appeared to distance themselves from or place blame on others rather than feeling supported by leadership. When employees expressed concerns, questioned processes, or voiced dissatisfaction, my experience was that management was often dismissive rather than receptive. I also felt that leadership became increasingly micromanaging and, at times, unsupportive of its own employees.

For me, that was the turning point.
Ultimately, I decided that leaving was the healthier decision. First and foremost, I need to take this opportunity to focus on my well-being. From there, I look forward to finding an organization where I can feel fulfilled, contribute my experience, and build positive relationships not only with coworkers but also with leadership.

I'm saddened to leave behind the many wonderful people I have met along the way. At the same time, seeing other good employees make the decision to leave as well, and hearing some of them express concerns similar to those I experienced, it reinforced my feeling that it was simply time for me to move on.

To everyone staying past 09/04, I genuinely wish you nothing but success. And to everyone leaving today, I wish you the very best in whatever comes next. May you find the opportunity, environment, and leadership you deserve.

Stay blessed, everyone.

Class of 09/04 — officially out. 🫡

I got displaced this Tuesday. I have some RSU locked until 2028. Do I lose all of them?

I think the only scenarios you can vest is retirement or death.

There have been small groups of layoffs trying to run “under the radar” that have begun at USI. I don’t really see the point of letting people with meager salaries go and keeping execs who literally do nothing and cutting them could actually result in substantial savings. Just giving everyone a warning!

Why are some saying there was no severance package for those involuntarily let go this time while others are saying there were? Can anyone who was laid off set the record straight?

DP World is implementing significant layoffs at its Spartanburg County facility. The company will permanently dismiss 205 employees. These workforce reductions are slated to take effect on October 31. The South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce received notification of these layoffs on September 1.
