#layoff

I wanted out for a while, so this is doing me a favor. I feel bad for my teammates who'll have more work now, but it is what it is. I leave happy.

2 OSP engineers in NM walked out 7/16

Any layoffs confirmed for Verizon Business Group?

Multiple people let go yesterday, as part of a \company-wide restructure; total count unknown at this time, effecting all branches of the company aside from SECOPS.

Any one else rif'd at HQ?

Did Synopsys give a voluntary layoff option? I rather take this instead of being here and rob someone else of being here. If I send email to HR will this back fire?

For those affected by this site closure happening end of summer- whats your plan?
Going to city?
Looking for work elsewhere?
Already found something else and much happier where you are?
Retirees good for you congratulations 🎊 but this is directed toward those who cant retire yet. Thanks

Or, to rephrase that, can you ask to be considered for a different role instead of taking the severance? And if nothing is available, then accept the severance instead?

Have any changes been made to severance? Can anybody who has been laid off share, please? I ask this each time and I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I always worry that they'll use any opportunity to further reduce the package, like they did several times before.

From what iv been hearing it was a bloodbath yesterday... but I'm having trouble finding out details as to who, what, when, where and why? if anyone knows details please post below!

This chick has this pre-recorded call at 8am with an email to get on this call at 745. Pre-recorded and just sounding so heartless and then click, call over in 5 minutes. 2 decades I've given to this company and it's all gone. No, thank you for everything you've done over the years, personalized by anyone. Just a default message like it's a voicemail. This fu--ing company has become so heartless.

This waiting game has caused so much anxiety. I just want to get that email response so I can get some sort of something so I can see how soon I can be out. And no I am not just going to leave! Just here for support.

A couple months ago, they made most of our building be fully remote (my entire team is with the optional monthly visit)

Should’ve realized this was the reason, as I just got the call and I am now out.

Got the call.

What’s up with the story about a liquid selloff in Dell over the coming months?

I'll say somewhere between 50 and 60.

Please let us know if you know which areas are getting hit and how badly.

Hey I was laid off in the last batch one thing that I was told was we should've tried to unionize. It's the only thing that would protect your jobs. Fight back!

The United Way of Central Maryland is experiencing a significant financial deficit of approximately $3 million. This shortfall has led to the layoff of 20 employees, representing 11% of its staff. The organization is also behind on distributing promised grant payments to local nonprofits. These delays are attributed to cash flow challenges and reduced pandemic-era funding. The nonprofit expects to resolve all outstanding payments by the end of the month.

Hello to my fellow 'soon to be ex' V-Teamers. I was laid off in Dec 2025 with a role of Sr. Technical Project Manager (6V). Unfortunately, with all of the lay offs, in VZ and elsewhere, finding a new job has been next to impossible. Both my severance and pitifully small unemployment have both been exhausted. The LHH service they set up for us did not help me in the slightest. I say this not to scare you, well, maybe a little, but to tell you you need to set reasonable expectations. You are most likely going to be in this for the long haul. For those left behind, continue to create as much of a nest egg as you can because you are most likely going to need in when the next round of lay offs happen.

Good luck and God Bless.

If you are laid off I wish you the best.
Mega thread for impacted stores.

State, store name, agent divested to if applicable.

Remember you can apply to the agent your store is going to. You also can apply internally.

Is this a coincidence or was this part of the mass layoffs?

Independence Premium Foods will lay off 41 employees in August. The company cited a shift from two production shifts to one as the reason for the reduction. This decision aims to rebalance the customer base and strengthen the plant's long-term viability. Affected employees will receive final pay, COBRA information, and support for reemployment. The company plans to rehire these workers as volume increases.

I have been with the company since some time where I qualified for pension. Naturally T just contributed bare minimum to it since the last 10 years. I was also a high performer through out and naturally salary went up. Now with all this surplus stuff I got a target on my back for not being in hub, working hard and delivering here. Should I have just slacked and did the bare minimum? I never understood why I am being surplussed except not being in hub

Asama Coldwater Manufacturing will be closing its Warren County facility. This closure will result in the elimination of 107 jobs. The job cuts will occur in three distinct phases.

Is it true only people above age 50 are surplussed in Dallas after relocating? I heard many people who moved got surplussed after their move. Was there any reason given for surplus or just told your position is eliminated?

Nine Ohio companies filed WARN notices in June, signaling significant workforce reductions. These notices indicate that over 900 workers across the state will be affected by layoffs or closures. Among the impacted businesses is Schwebel Baking Company, a family-owned bakery, which is closing its doors. The bakery's closure alone will result in the loss of 480 jobs in Hebron and Youngstown. Other companies, including Republic National Distributing Company and Senior Resource Connection, also reported substantial worker impacts.

With under 6 months here?

I salute you. You are victims of an inept strategy and an inept and self-congratulatory leadership who clearly do not have a clue about how to turn around things. Anyone who is Band 4 or above should hang their head in shame, complete losers

is there any new data about this topic?
we are waiting for several month to be laid off or sold and it really disrupts the work flow and motivation, everyone is waiting so everything is very slow and unmotivated......

Like others here most would like to keep their jobs, to not have to start all over again. Nobody wished for layoffs, firings, etc. There were many times since the layoffs started that I would pray for that Golden Tuesday after payday. One would post about here and hear the smug response, I'd like to keep my job. Well wouldn't any person working just to survive. Now like others around me, the staged mid years are going on and we're getting not meets. Not meets we're told means NO severance. Like they're saying, chase the new carrot. Improve by year end or get fired, no severance for you. The kicker is they've changed the formula used for evals, where you're going to be not meets no matter what you do. They've hired 1,000's of new hires. I guess they've filled the quotas of cheap labor in the Philippines. The new hire class should be hitting the floor we're told in Roanoke, VA in the near future. Seems like that's when the closing Richmond site, will start the firings and the layoffs. As for me, since the cushy keeping the job is not an option...I am praying for a Tuesday after payday displacement. I'm envious of those fortunate to have been laid off with the golden ticket and 60 day non-working period. In retrospect, what good did it do to stay waiting for severance?! They've made it a no win situation. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The firings will continue, and they're saying sc--w your morale...they just want you to F off.

this week everyone got to see the quality of resources from offshore during a sev1 issue call in the CSO/EdHayes Org. These folks from India cannot speak a line of English correctly, cannot articulate the problem nor the impacts, and don't even have the technical understanding.... These folks in India get hired thru recommendations, caste or region feeling or thru bribery... almost all of them who joined the bridge were remotely even qualified for the job. There is this girl who joined the call who would not understand basic instructions and the onshore experts had to come to her rescue!! Yet these crooks at the top want to ship jobs to India laying off quality talent here in the US and eventually backstabbing the american people who pay the bills for AT&T products and services!! Just crazy unbelievable that this is happening!!

I wish people would stop parroting the "impacted" euphemism. It's either "laid off" or "fired". Not even "RIF", because that implies that the job is gone. The job is never gone, it's just done by someone else that remains.

Layoff decisions should not rely solely on manager recommendations. They should also be supported by objective data from internal systems, including actual work completed, project contributions, performance metrics, and productivity. Using verifiable data alongside manager feedback can help ensure a fair and transparent process and reduce the risk of incorrect decisions.

Instead of relying only on manager recommendations, layoff decisions should also consider employees’ actual work, contributions, and performance data available in internal systems. This would help ensure that hardworking, high-performing employees are treated fairly and that decisions are based on objective criteria rather than per

Layoff decisions should be based on fair and transparent criteria. It’s difficult to understand why some employees who were away for weeks were retained while regular contributors were laid of

Remote employees need to go. From worker bees to upper management. If you can relocate to San Antonio or another major office, then find another company to work for.

All these full-time WFH vampires are draining the true culture of USAA. Our military members can't WFH when the call comes to deploy. Neither should anyone at USAA who isn't a military spouse.

Toodles!
