#layoff

That's it. That's the post.

I spent two decades here. I showed up every day, I gave it my all, I went above and beyond, I never once had a complaint about my work. And what did that get me? Nothing. I'm out of a job and looking back, I realize I was just a number to them. All that loyalty and effort didn't count for anything in the end.

it was a good run for me

New here, and I've heard that when people get laid off, they're immediately escorted out of the building. I can't believe that's true. It would be so disrespectful.

I don't know if I'll get laid off or find something else first, but either way I'm out of here. Hard to find motivation when you know you're leaving.

Everyone is burned out. Not just from the work, but from the endless layoff anxiety. Management doesn't care. They'd love it if we all just left.

I was laid off roughly a year ago and it felt like the end of the world at the time. Now I'm in a better job with better pay and significantly better culture. Hang in there.

Nebraska has enacted a new state law requiring employers with over 100 employees to provide 90 days' advance notice for mass layoffs or business closings. This legislation, known as the mini-WARN Act, defines specific criteria for what constitutes a mass layoff or business closing. The notice must include details about the affected site, contact information, the nature and schedule of the employment loss, and affected job titles. Employers can deliver notices via mail, email, or by posting them conspicuously, and remote employees are generally included in calculations. Exceptions exist for natural disasters or unforeseeable business circumstances, and the law takes effect July 18, 2026.

Oregon Health Authority leaders have canceled planned layoffs for nine employees. This decision comes after initial announcements and internal employee concerns about management's handling of budget issues. The agency cited ongoing discussions with the Governor's Office and state budget partners for the change. While these specific layoffs are averted, the agency faces significant future budget challenges and potential service cuts. The exact size and cause of the agency's budget deficit remain undisclosed.

Do tell.

There were a bunch of layoffs on 6/24 and another set of layoffs on 7/6. How often are these layoff rounds happening now? They used to seem like every 3 months but they are happening more frequently now.

Hot off the presses. Not really the presses; I found this out by accident via a careless senior employee. I’ll leave it at that.

Supporting Functions (Finance, HR, Legal, Gov. Affairs, Administrative Services, etc.) will see a RIF action. No timeline was mentioned. Names were not stated but roles were. Obviously I’m not going to mention those role titles because you can tell many of them are only held by one person. Eg if Nike has a role called “Director of Currency Transactions in Latin America” that probably means one specific person. I made that example up but you get the point.

It appears that like with prior layoffs there’s an emphasis on higher level roles. My surprising takeaway was the number of Director and higher positions in some of these orgs. For example one of these orgs is about 50% worker bees and 50% Directors or higher! This matches what I’ve seen in some Nike orgs where they became top-heavy when times were flush. Can’t have ten senior managers overseeing ten actual workers.

I can’t say I’m surprised. With a few exceptions I believe Supporting Functions has mostly avoided layoffs so far. It was going to be their turn eventually. Especially with those orgs that are top-heavy.

Nobody likes being laid off, but MSI has made the entire process far more stressful than it needed to be. Throughout this process, they’ve provided a lot of misinformation—or just plain incorrect information—to both me and several of my former coworkers.

I originally emailed HR because my 401(k) still wasn’t reflecting my termination. I even acknowledged the expected processing timeline and pointed out that more than enough time had passed. Only then did they escalate the issue, and it turns out Voya hadn’t even been notified that we were terminated.

Then there was the COBRA coverage. We were told Aptia365 would have our subsidized rates available, so I waited. After hearing nothing, I finally called them myself and was told I had to enroll first before anything would appear. That was never communicated.

The fact that so many of us have had to chase down answers and fix issues ourselves is frustrating and disappointing. If a company is going to lay off a large number of employees, it should also be prepared to handle the administrative process accurately and communicate it clearly.

If you’re reading this MSI, go fly a kite. This whole experience is ridiculous and shameful. Maybe don't lay off so many people if you can't keep up with the paperwork required.

Digital Banking employees who had previously been given a final day of June 30th, then shortly thereafter extended to August 31st, received a letter this morning asking if they would be interested in being transferred to the third-party vendor. Deadline to respond is July 22nd.

layoffs across the sw org again…

I didn’t get laid off this last round. I’m in VCG but not in retail. I was really hoping for a package. Has any one ever attempted to contact HR to see if that was an option? I would rather get some severance instead of just leaving with only a PTO payout.

Was anyone in engineering impacted? It seems like this was mostly a retail layoff.

Thank you for laying me off. No, I do not want to learn about your earnings while I struggle to find a new job. WTH?
