Anything today?

Have you received your severance package yet? Not looking for any details, just trying to figure out if they’ve started sending them out?

Former educators at Century Village Museum have raised questions about recent staff reductions. They stated that the museum board eliminated the education department due to budgetary constraints. This decision impacted approximately ten to fifteen dedicated individuals. Many of these educators were retired teachers with years of service. The education department was a vital component of the museum's operations.

She “accepted a new position outside the company” and her last day is tomorrow?

Someone read between the lines for me on this one, please.

Following a prolonged closure due to critical elevator failures, the Pittsfield Holiday Inn & Suites has laid off twenty employees. The hotel has been non-operational since late September when its last elevator malfunctioned. The attached restaurant also ceased operations temporarily. It remains uncertain when the hotel will resume services as building issues persist.

The rumors about 10/27 turned out true. Anyone know if there will be more significant cuts before the end of the year?

Teva Pharmaceuticals will close its Fairfield, New Jersey manufacturing facility by February 1, 2027. This closure will result in the layoff of 61 employees. The company cited the plant's underutilization and high operating costs as reasons for the decision. Declining demand and price erosion also contributed to the plant's economic challenges. Teva plans to reallocate resources to higher-priority investment opportunities.

Tomorrow is a 100% guarantee that there is a RIF. It is absolutely occurring in OT and in H&C, it is also the largest headcount RIF of the year. There will be no more in calendar year 26. I am in OI leadership and it was a specific topic in our bi-monthly date with s-leaders.

Were there layoffs today?

Just to know what to expect (email, 1:1, whatever)

I'm leaving soon, and I won't be sorry to see Verizon struggle once I'm gone. After the way I've been treated, I don't feel any loyalty left.

I was laid off yesteday as part of this layoff round. I'm pregnant. They were was fully aware of my pregnancy which makes this whole situation even more bad. Does anyone know if these layoffs were limited to FLEX employees, or were other teams and employment types affected as well? Also, if anyone has been through something similar, especially while pregnant... I'd really appreciate any advice on severance, benefits, health insurance (or potential legal paths). I'm still trying to process everything and figure out what to do next.

Was anyone else approved or in process of a telecommuting accommodation and then got laid off?

Got offered for a niche role at AES Clean Energy services. I like the benefits being offered but concerned about the acquisition and if there are any potential layoffs. Any suggestions would be great.

Layoffs coming in November! Get ready!!

Leave the date of the layoff vague. Now people are barely able to work from anxiety, and we're not even sure it'll happen tomorrow. Self-sabotage at its best.

Whatever happens this/next week remember to not take it personally. You may be out this/next week but no one else is sitting around thinking about or worrying about you.

Stay healthy, take care of the family and move forward. After all there are PLENTY of opportunities out there and with PepsiCo on your resume you can go anywhere. DO NOT slam the company on social media or anywhere else, employers now search the web before they interview you to see what you are up to. STAY POSITIVE!

God Bless

When is the next big layoff? Anyone know if ATT is doing voluntary next year?

Timeline of events:

1. Voluntary layoffs (leave on your own accord)
2. General Layoffs (you don't see it coming)

Makes sense if your no where near an office to leave now, enjoy the holidays and find another job? I assume general layoffs early next year would wipe out anyone not near an office?

Looks like IT was impacted by a reduction in force today. Still unclear how widespread the cuts are or which teams were affected.

Has anyone heard more about the scope of the layoffs?

I have it from the highest authority that more layoffs are being planned to make Q4s imaginary numbers look intentional. Iceberg dead ahead!

Not a single other person on our team was affected (so far). I'm not sure if I should celebrate or worry.

Like clockwork it's October they are 'functionally eliminating' another training role. Program Owners are on the chopping block today. Forcing a large number of people to all jockey for the same limited roles they are 'replacing' it with. When you spend billions on AI you've got to make up that money somewhere. This company hasn't been the same since David Joyner ascended and started bowing to stake holders as kings

Accept the offer. Simple as that.

But only because they've started finding reasons to outright fire people. It's cheaper that way, I guess.

Just imagine staying and a) having to do 2 or 3 times more work because all the teams are going to shrink and the work will either stay the same or increase or b) thinking you're safe because this should have covered it all just to realize not enough people accepted the offer and get caught in an involuntary layoff with less of everything.

In my career I’ve been thru many re-orgs and management changes and never seen anything like this and not sure what to make of it.

In COO CAO we were made aware earlier this year if we are not in a hub location we will be let go but they did not say when. Any idea on when that would be? Has anyone experienced this before?

New trade figures from Global Affairs Canada contradict Cleveland-Cliffs' primary reason for recent layoffs at its Stelco facilities. The data indicates that a significant portion of Canadian steel imports originate from the U.S., not the overseas markets cited by the company. Economists suggest that while domestic demand and import volumes are pressuring producers, the offshore dumping argument lacks strong support from the latest trade data. The federal government has issued a strict ultimatum to Cleveland-Cliffs to reverse the layoff notices or face legal action. This situation highlights the legal risks companies face when foreign investment commitments clash with evolving market conditions.

SNDL announced significant layoffs at its manufacturing facility, reducing its workforce by over 30%. These job cuts are part of a broader restructuring of its ca--abis operations, including exiting unprofitable dried flower products. The company expects cost savings to materialize in the fourth quarter. Management is also undertaking a strategic review that could involve asset sales or further efficiency measures. The success of these changes hinges on whether reduced overhead and product focus lead to sustained profitability.

Big Tech companies are increasingly offering voluntary buyouts as an alternative to layoffs. Microsoft recently extended exit packages to over a quarter of its workforce, marking its second such program this year. Google employees have also advocated for buyouts to be a standard initial step in workforce reductions. This trend is raising questions about whether buyouts are a more humane approach than traditional layoffs for reducing staff. While buyouts offer employees agency, companies face risks if too few accept the offers.
