#layoff

Every time they need to hit a number, they cut people. It's their only move.

Everything is working out well for us, and this leadership has never been the one to lay people off just for the sake of layoffs. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm done stressing over cuts, at least for now.

Any clue if more layoffs are planned?

Just for now, of course. But it's something.

More pink slips are going out to workers at Wells Fargo.

The Iowa WARN website says an additional 14 workers will be laid off from the bank's West Des Moines campus effective October 17th.

A total of 322 Wells Fargo workers have been let go from the Des Moines metro so far this year.

And I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels this way. This place has gone from bad to worse faster than I expected. I'd be happy to leave it behind for good.

This place taught me that couldn't be further from the truth. I have been a high performer, always available, never complaining, and yet I got miserable raises and no promotion. Elevance is the one that did everything wrong and accepting that has been so liberating. That was confirmed to me when my manager panicked when I told him I was leaving. They even wanted to counter the offer I got. Too little too late.

There have been little to no chatter about more layoffs. Is this something to welcome or worry it's the calm before the storm?

The wait is worse than knowing. At least I'd be able to start planning my next move. But no, we have to wait another day or who knows however long.

Coming from management line - RIFs are confirmed and they will to be double digits. Discussions are still in progress.

I've seen too many coworkers get laid off and panic because they'd been out of the hiring game for years. Start looking even if you're staying. Apply, interview, and keep your resume fresh. The worst that happens is you see what's out there. The best is you get an offer you can't refuse. You've got nothing to lose.

3hr end-of-day call for his entire org plus the legal AVP and HR Principal that are usually "optional" invitees. There's already a 1hr Town Hall on 26-Aug, and three weeks notice for the invitation seems like an awfully long warning for a "you're all fired" meeting. Anybody have any real information?

The leader of our team just disappeared, no good bye email, no thanks for all the hard work, nothing. Just gone. Her linkedin does not show Insight as her employer anymore, it did just last week. Tried to send an email last week and it just went into a black hole, or where ever her emails are now forwarded to. I think from reading other posts on here that she was terminated, no early retirement, just role eliminated I guess. Seems to be the main tactic used to put people out to pasture. Whack-ATTACK-Jack sure is making his markie mark. I'm not sure it's leadership being demonstrated here, just desperation to get the numbers in line to get a bonus and sure is devoid of any real strategy.

Does anyone has any idea or any news regarding next round of WFR. When it will be and on which basis it will happen? Also, what is the future of ISG and it's product portfolio as based on current wave it doesn't seem there is any vision or strategy for product to release in next quarter.

Tyson Foods is closing its meat processing plant in Eagle Mountain, Utah, resulting in the loss of jobs for 723 workers. This closure is part of a broader trend of increasing layoffs in Utah, with WARN-eligible layoffs affecting 1,683 workers so far this year. The affected employees face difficult decisions regarding finances and job searching. Experts advise workers to process the job loss, update resumes, network, and review budgets. Applying for unemployment and understanding benefit options like COBRA are also crucial steps.

New Mexico State University has implemented a new policy to govern employee layoffs. This formal process mandates a 30-day notice period for affected staff. The policy also establishes a transfer window, allowing employees to seek other vacant positions within the university. Furthermore, it prioritizes the elimination of vacant and temporary roles before cutting regular full-time jobs. This new framework aims to provide a clearer and more structured approach to workforce reductions.

My manager is asking me politely to resign... Should I report it? Is there any law I can use against them?

Is it standard and final?

I just heard that some RVP’S were on the chopping block, about to be canned, or were already canned. What’s the skinny on it?

Well, here we are. Last week of August. If anyone is affected this week, or hears of other people/departments/regions affected, let's post it here and use this thread to keep each other in the loop. Good luck everyone, whether you want to be made redundant or you want to stay, wishing you the best.

everything InfoSys touches s*ck and causes more layoffs. why not just sell the company to Indians?

Do you think tomorrow is the day? I’m so tired of being anxious all the time. I’m having nightmares of getting laid off at nights. It’s draining my soul.

Five9 hires people for the next layoff round. You've got 12-18 months max. Use it wisely.

No empty talk, no posturing. If they offered me a package, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Fifteen years ago, I joined the company of my dreams. Today, it's the one of my nightmares and I can't wait to find a way out.

I've been thinking about what happens if I get the call. Do I start sending applications the next day? Or do I take some time, a couple of weeks or a month, to reset before diving back in? I've seen people do both, but I'm not sure which is right.

My last day was July 31st from the Chandler site. Just hired with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more pay than I was making at Intel, seems like a better group of co-workers and more fun for sure. Don’t fret being laid off from Intel its not the only game in town and be open to other vastly different fields, I was young enough to still be under the age limit for ICE so that was good.

One comes with a nice safety net, the other is a certain kick in the behind with nothing.

Getting fired is now like a subscription service with multiple cancellation tiers.

“Layoff” if they’re feeling honest.

“Restructuring” if they’re feeling corporate.

“Performance management” if they want you to blame yourself.

“Voluntary separation” if they want you to fire yourself.

“Attrition” if they want to pretend nobody actually did anything.

“Role elimination” if they want to make it sound like your job died peacefully in its sleep.

“Strategic realignment” if they want you to believe your career simply took a wrong turn.

“Workforce optimization” if they want to imply the workforce was somehow the problem.

“Doing more with less” if they want to give you three jobs and one salary.

“Organizational simplification” if they want fewer people doing twice the work.

At this point, the only thing being optimized is the dictionary definition of unemployment.

They don’t need an HR department anymore.

They need a thesaurus with a severance budget.

I am hearing more layoffs from my manager on the network side coming in October. Regions will be combined to reduce head count.

When will the official announcement of a fourth round of layoffs be made? As part of streamlining management layers — for example, one manager per 20-person team — is it possible the cuts will focus only on management-level roles, without this reflecting on any individual’s performance?

The city of Sacramento is planning to lay off or demote 37 employees to address a significant budget shortfall. A majority of these separations will impact park maintenance workers across 26 positions. Other affected departments include the Office of Public Safety Accountability and the city manager's office. The city is attempting to close a $66 million budget gap. Union representatives argue these layoffs will not solve the deficit and will harm essential services.

Sacramento City Unified School District has finalized layoffs for 503 positions due to a significant budget shortfall. These cuts are intended to address a $127 million deficit and save $23 million. The district faces the possibility of state receivership if it cannot manage its finances, which could lead to 5,000 employees not being paid. The majority of those laid off are hourly workers.

Pushed ?. Seems to be very sudden.

TikTok has laid off 75 employees in Bellevue, Washington, primarily impacting its e-commerce division, TikTok Shop. These job reductions are part of a broader restructuring within the social media company. The affected workers were employed under the TT Commerce & Global Services banner, which operates under ByteDance. This move follows similar layoffs at TikTok's Nashville office two weeks prior. The company has been a significant employer in Bellevue since 2021, with its presence growing substantially after launching TikTok Shop in 2023.
