#layoff

Got confirmation of October layoffs today in my org. Anyone else? Trying to see how big this one will be...

Did anyone over 50 land a new job after being layed off from this stellar company??
If so, how long did it take you and how did you do it.
Lenovo gave us this free career placement LHH but I find it boring and of no value.

Dental claims has 2 new hire offshore classes with 40(+?) people. There are not even 40 people on this team currently. The odds are pretty high for this team to be laid off, isn't it? 😫

Has anyone VP or above refused to give the ridiculous 30 days notice and leave in 2 or “effective immediately.” I’m strongly considering giving 2 middle fingers to these id--ts and just turning my equipment in. Curious as to what the firm can actually do to retaliate other than maybe put on the do not rehire list.

A few months ago I was talking to a recruiter about coming back to Fidelity after I got laid off. When I spoke to them, they said something like "it's a huge relief I don't have to explain that whole connect week thing to you compared to other people I call". They also said "yeah... it's gonna be an experiment".

From the outside looking in, you can tell a lot of these people in HR have opinions on what's going on that they don't want to be outward about. Anti bootlicking opinions. Or at least that's what I see. They hate the new laws of the land, they're just the ones that have to enforce them.

So, if you're in HR, if you feel comfortable sharing, what do you think about all this?

We really need to address Oracles abuse of H1B. They lay off Americans and then hire more H1Bs at the same time. There should be a requirement for capped H1Bs to have to interview for the job with a group of qualified Americans yearly. This way we can prove the H1B is needed over an American. Especially at Oracle. I guarantee the H1B wont' be needed because we have a qualified American for the job.

Is there a method that companies use to get people to leave?

Despite issuing a warn notice Gordon Brothers decided to pull the rug out from many Unexpecting employees on August 27. Gordon Brothers should be ashamed of their lack of integrity and compassion.

You really can drop to the bottom in one cycle. It is common when being transferred out of a group or after a CL promotion.

I work with GCC tech in India. Bunch of rookies. Can’t get out of their way and work at snails pace. So WHY am I hearing about Sept tech layoffs in US?

I've been added to the list. Does anyone know how much Dell Ireland are paying for redundancy..I heard 4 weeks plus 2.

If you or if you know anyone that got laid off this coming Monday/Tuesday, which country/region is the person from?

We are back baby !!

The Third Digital Transformation is under way. Here are some sights, sounds, & scenes on the way courtesy of the Layoff’s TIAA site:

By July 2025
the overall Accenture/TIAA recordkeeping performance scorecard was flashing red due to missed milestones and other failings.

In September 2025, the TIAA Board was finally made aware of the critical problems with the TIAA/Accenture Recordkeeping partnership.

Let the greatest show on earth begin !

Curious what severance is…Any thoughts?

I heard a rumor in the office today that the next round of layoffs is September 24th. Has anyone else heard this?

I’m reading there are supposed to be more layoffs in October for management in retail stores. Does anyone have any details on this?

In December, CW was exited and the role was eliminated by Hill stating it was to remove layers.

Today, role is reinstated and offered to JE from Walmart and is now considered a vital role and critical to the strategy.

Optically speaking, this is horrible. Leadership never beating the allegations that they are just throwing sh-t at the wall and seeing what sticks.

EH proving he isn’t the guy and must now make moves to set up his backfill.

If there are layoffs it seems the pattern is that they occur in September or October. Always right before the holiday season.

Did Centene ever re-hire the people they fired for not getting the jab like the military did? If so…..NO THANKS, we learned that our life is way better off without working for Centene.

Somewhere, there's a spreadsheet with your name on it. The criteria could be anything, tenure, pay, age, or who knows what. Just make sure you're ready.

I'm not even trying anymore. Most of my time is spent on the job search, since I know that no matter what I do, I'll be shown the the door at the end. I used to give it my all and then some every single day and I still got put on a PIP. I simply don't give a single damn anymore.

Microsoft fired 16,000 Americans and then turned around and hired 9,000 workers under H-1B.

Disney fired 250 employees… [and] had those 250 American employees train their replacements under H-1B.

Same with Ford, GM and Chrysler .
We have Americans that are skilled in all these different areas.

For your sanity, just assume every department will see cuts. You can either wait and see or take control and start looking now. I know that sounds harsh, but it's the reality.

These are growing in number, so I just thought to warn other people who're as desperate to leave as I am. Be careful of recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn, and if a job looks too good, it probably is. Check the name, the phone number, and the company. Sadly, times like these attract many predators.

From the ITS newsletter: "The Future Platform Evaluation initiative, led in partnership with Huron Consulting Group, will conclude in early September with recommendations and a high-level roadmap for our future direction. This effort has been shaped through close collaboration between ITS leaders and partners from across SNHU and will provide an important foundation for future decision-making."

Anyone else worried that layoffs are coming?

Are we now officially done with involuntary layoffs for a while? I can't figure out how many people were notified so far and if there are more notifications waiting for some future date.
