Portland experienced a significant job decline in 2025. This loss is largely attributed to struggles at Intel and Nike. Intel announced 4,500 layoffs, and Nike announced 740 layoffs. These job cuts stem from internal company decisions and market challenges. The article argues these issues, not local business climate, caused the decline.

More than half of classified layoff notices were rescinded. Contra Costa Community College District officials made this decision. They aim to stabilize the budget and limit employee impact.

Portland Public Schools faces a $56.3 million budget deficit for the upcoming year. Superintendent Dr. Kimberlee Armstrong proposes 336 full-time employee layoffs, including 180 educators. The district and its teachers union urge the state to tap a $1 billion Education Stability Fund. However, Governor Tina Kotek and the Legislature are not interested in releasing these reserve funds. Declining enrollment, high pension rates, and increasing personnel costs contribute to PPS's budget woes.

Do they even have enough space for everybody at some of these locations? I won't be surprised if they perform a big layoff before or slightly after the rto date.
Who is was better?
My original post was deleted so I’ll filter this one. What counts as a reorg for a layoff?
Half of my group is moving to another manager, but not a BU. The head of my department is losing half of their downloaded. Am I at risk?
They've been telling you all that there are more coming. More outsourcing. More cost cutting.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.
Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.
What is called "layoff estimates" are partially part of normal attrition, limitations are covered in details in comments.
I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

We make so much money so explain why in the world they always letting people go
I was laid off and am told I won’t get the severance doc for over a month.
Ummm…. that makes no sense. So I don’t know if I’m allowed to look for (and take) a job right now or not? Do I have to wait until my “last paycheck” even though I’m literally not an employee.
Surely someone knows a definitive answer to this and/or has a severance doc to read from to find out.
Sitting on my hands waiting until my last paycheck is asinine in my financial situation.
I don’t want to lose my severance but nike has stated they don’t want me working their either so….
How do you drop the best reservoir engineer in the US like that? Feels like a race to last after that move.
Has anyone returned to Intel after the layoff last year? How intensive is the interview process for engineers?
Consider reapplying to Intel because job market is tough
As someone who was let go from another company, here are a couple of things I'd tell my younger self:
You'll feel the urge to state your opinion, and share something like "see, I knew this was going to break!". As someone who actually did this, I only regret my decision of doing so, because it took me longer to move on from being let go.
I have seen d-mb decisions that had to be rolled back later on. I'm sure Nike has done some d-mb stuff that will have to be undone. But, if I were you, stop checking this site if you no longer work here. I've only found helpful to know when these reorgs would happen so I can start prepping my resume/interviews in the event that I am cut off.
have a great one
I just got laid off this morning. They told me there were 300 other people who got laid off. And that my job and all of theirs were going offshore.
The career progression is like this: You work to improve yourself over 25 years in semiconductors. You will become an expert who can resolve all special taks. save money, improve yield and make projects successfull. Everybody is happy, but.....the salary increases over years......Finally they will lay you off because your salary is too high, higher than graduate´s salary. Managment does not understand that what moves the company forward is the technical experties and speed. It is not important anymore, what only matters are cheap incompetent graduates who are asap hired mainly from none technical fields because they are cheaper than graduates from technicial fields. All slows down, projects slow downs or crash, problems remain unresloved, yield is terrible, customers lots..... Well seniors are fired and youner ones cannot cope with it.... Solution? They repeat the same mistakes over and over.....Perhaps the company shall be renamed to "Inferno Hindmalay Semiconductors Technologies GmbH".
Newport Public Schools faces a substantial budget shortfall. The district projects a $2 million deficit for the 2026-2027 school year. Superintendent Jermain indicated that restructuring will likely be necessary. Potential layoffs are also under consideration to address the gap. Structural funding issues and inflation contribute to this financial pressure.

A recent blog post highlighted the practice of "ghostworking." This involves employees doing the bare minimum required for their jobs. Layoff anxiety and burnout are increasing among American workers. This environment makes ghostworking more appealing to disengaged employees. Empathetic leadership and strong company culture can help counter this trend.

Layoff lottery coming soon.
Are there layoffs coming ? If so what groups are going to impacted and what geo's and when ?
They just laid off a whole team of US base virtual customer service representative yesterday, April 29, 2026
Unpopular opinion: many of the people who were let go weren’t adding enough value to justify their roles. If we’re being honest, there’s probably more inefficiency still left in the system.
Anyone know about this? I saw it on nj.com
Workday IT support and legal have reviewed everything. They are now testing the data loads into workday. Pipeline is built out and the final kinks are being worked out now. Its been 6 months since the last one, most leaders are worried, on high alert, and ready for movement to get going next week. Lists were made a couple months ago based on the scripting and code prompts being run in workday for testing the last 2-3 weeks. If your manager doesn't think this is true they just have their head in the sand. Q1 results good or bad would change stop this from happening, this is Dan's plan "cut cut cut and cut so more". We took on billions in new debt, cutting employees is the only way to pay that back. Expect another one next quarter before the stock grant is given in October.
hi,
Hoping anyone impacted today might find this thread and post whatever info they can for the rest of us anxious souls.
Good luck everyone! ❤️
