#layoff

Company is finished with layoffs for this year.

Talked to a leader; says that the GCC cheap labor will crush the US. Layoffs in MA coming soon in SDS. Nice run while it lasted.

I interned here, loved it, and turned down other jobs to come back. Four months later, I'm out with no warning and no explanation. Why hire people if you plan on getting rid of them within months?

Two decades of service, and my biggest hope is getting cut with a package.

I was recently laid off and have had nothing but issues with my account. The problem is, you can’t approach fidelity for help online. On r** for example, the mods will falsely flag comments and posts as spam, downvote you 100 times, why is this an okay practice? Lots of customers leaving, going to Vanguard etc. Loss of customers only leads to may layoffs. But most companies currently don’t seem to care about the American people. Sad times.

I had a horrible Intel manager. I got laid off by this individual though I was given the most difficult task without any training. That person has set me up for failure. But nevertheless I am in faang now. But that individual soon got laid off and is still searching for job it's more than 2 years

Karma is painful

Please don't be stressed out on layoff, it may be rumour or actual layoff. Don’t worry for things, did't happen yet, be a man and face situation when it comes. Laugh, smile and enjoy your life. Work is work, you are living in USA the most resilient job market in the entire WORLD. Where job openings are available every few mins. Enjoy your life!

All, don’t be so quick to sign a separation package. You waive all of your rights. Is it worth 2 months base pay and 2 months cobra? Consider the PIP, you will get one month of both and use this time to look for another job. In my sales area, they are placing solid sellers with a solid performance on a PEP or PIP choice. Why? They may offer a PEP at the end of the PIP, but be cautious, you sign away all of your rights. Believe nothing verbal, if you need something from them for you to sign and leave, get it in writing. And don’t be so quick to work through your manager, wait for HR. Do not trust any Manager or HR for that matter, they are there to protect Benioff.

Check out this case.

I understand everyone is different but there appears to be a lot of getting rid of people for bs reasons.

Wells Fargo WARN notice says it’s coming soon. :(

ORCL investors can't unload this POS fast enough, it closed for the week - barely above the 52 week low!!

Klaxon sirons should be going off for all investors and employees at this point. One thing is certain, however. The August layoff will be a bl**dbath!

When I got the notice, I thought my career was over. Instead, it was the push I needed. I found a role with actual work-life balance, a team that respects me, and no daily dread. And I'm not alone, I keep a running list of ex-colleagues who've moved on and thrived. Not one of them regrets being let go. It's a strange comfort knowing that getting cut might be the best thing that ever happens to me.

What happens if you don’t take it? Is it a laid off situation or voluntarily quit?

I’m hearing this is happening in some pockets of the organization.

If, after all this, Monday comes and I find out I got refused, I think I'm just going to up and quit. I can't handle the mind games this place has been playing with us for months. I guess that could've been their goal, and I hate to say it, but it worked on me. I'm leaving one way or another.

every single manager has been laid off or fired overnight?

idk which regular employees got canned. anyone have any actual info on what’s happening?

Anyone hearing rumors of October layoffs? Specifically on the Evernorth side?

What is going on? We got the email about George Dyer with the town hall next week, but we just got a meeting invite from our L5 named 'quick update'. I've sat through countless calls that were named this because folks were laid off. Anyone know anything?

Does anyone know the meeting title that is used for a layoff meeting? Also, who typically sends these out? Is it from HR or your people leader?

So people can be ready for it.

Has anyone else had constant org changes, and it’s not all adding up? As we approach the next layoff round, it’s getting very eerie around here. I’m a bit scared. However, it also doesn’t make sense to do all these org changes only for us to be laid off. I can’t make sense of it.

Heard few people got emails at 9.00 and few will be getting at 11.00 ?
Anyone heard the same ?

Dan and his evil cronies fired you to buy back $1b worth of shares. Just evil

A Maryland union president has strongly criticized the University System of Maryland for allegedly withholding promised wage increases and proceeding with layoffs. The union claims the system broke its contract by not providing negotiated raises to its members. This action has led to the filing of an unfair labor practice complaint and a lawsuit against the university system. Union leaders expressed concern for employees who perform essential work and are now facing job or income loss. The University System of Maryland declined to comment on the matter, citing pending litigation.

The High Plains Fair Housing Center in North Dakota is preparing to lay off half its staff due to a delay in federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This funding supports approximately 75% of the organization's operations, which are crucial for assisting clients facing housing discrimination. The center has been waiting for a significant grant installment since May, and without it, they can no longer sustain their current staffing levels. The executive director estimates it could take until September 2027 for the remaining funds to be released. These layoffs will severely impact the center's capacity to serve vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities.

Why do some announce they are retiring but you can tell it seems forced? Does upper leadership tell these people they are being laid off and then lie to everyone about the real reason? I have seen this in at least 4 people in the last year. At first I thought confidence but it doesn’t make sense, especially with departure date. Anyone have insight? How is it legal to let someone say they are retiring when they are really being laid off?

Everyone will be notified of their PIP/PIL options by Friday, August 14. Age protected individuals >40 y/o have 21 (business?) days to make their decision, essentially September 15th if you include the labor day Holiday. They want everyone off the payroll by December 15th due to the year end Holiday closing of the financials. For anyone that is > 40 y/o and given the choice of PIP or PIL, what should they do? Without hesitation, anyone that is not NRE should seriously take the message that they will not ever get to their career goals or retirement. You will never be sponsored or in the clique/club. Anyone that is RE should take the package immediately to take one for the team per se. Anyone not yet RE should realize they have no chance next cycle so maybe take the PIP or not, depending on their own situation, but what does that mean if you have 1-3 years left to be fully retirement eligible? It all depends on your supervisor. Yes, your supervisor controls your destiny. Obviously, if you are NSI, you don't have a good relationship with your supervisor, so chances are, you will not pass your PIP. There is a cap this year on how many people pass their PIP. So, if you are 1 year away from retirement, and they have not met their PIP pass %, you might have a chance to make it since it takes 2 NSI's, but they still need to make their cap on PIP success%. If you are more than 1 year away from retirement, you will have to get under your supervisor's desk to survive and they still have to meet their PIP success %. Personally, I think I would just move on. Life in that stage is not worth your dignity. Don't hate, just put it in your back pocket and watch how all the worker bees start dying off while the company just manages contractors. You will still reap the benefits of the stock.

I'd avoid this company until the Paramount merger settles. I just got caught up in the layoffs along with several other coworkers. The future is uncertain and job security is low at the moment. I was in a tech position.

I finally did it. Put in my notice on Monday, walked out the door, and didn't look back. I didn't even give a two week's notice. I don't plan to be back so I don't care if I burnt any bridges. I watched nepotism get promoted and talent get ignored for years. Enough is enough.

They can't lay me off without severance, so they're making me want to quit instead. That's the only conclusion I can make after my workload got cut to nothing, my meetings disappeared, and my manager stopped including me in planning. I guess they're hoping I'll eventually crack and submit my resignation. Or they'll try to fire me. Whatever it is, I'm definitely not going to do them any favors and walk away on my own. They have no idea how stubborn I can get.

After another sleepless night, I realize that this job has cost me so much mental health that being shown the door with severance is now sounding much better to me than staying here and going through the same thing again and again. So bring it on, I say.

I always assumed layoffs came with a guaranteed cushion, which made them less scary for me. Yes, you lose your job but you get a decent safety net to get you through the unemployment stage. Then I found out severance is 100% discretionary and now I'm spending all my free time job-hunting while I still have a paycheck.

I'm documenting everything and training two new hires. Either I'm getting promoted or I'm getting fired.

The latest questionnaire was due end of Feb.
I was let go in April.
