TekSynap Announces Significant Job Cuts

TekSynap is planning to lay off 69 employees due to the conclusion of contract work. These layoffs will occur in three phases, starting in October and concluding by the end of December. The affected positions include wireless engineers, project managers, and network specialists. While many employees work remotely, the company's Virginia headquarters is listed as the affected site.

Apple VR Team Downsized

Apple has reportedly laid off an entire team focused on virtual reality development. This move comes as the company shifts its priorities within its spatial computing division. The restructuring suggests a temporary pause on the VR category, with a new focus on AI and smart glasses. While the VR team has been significantly reduced, work on future iterations of the Vision Pro and smart glasses is expected to continue. This indicates a strategic recalibration rather than a complete abandonment of the VR/AR space.

Layoffs are coming

I’m hearing that major cuts may be coming in the next couple of weeks, and it looks like VPs are being asked to provide numbers from each team. Please be cautious and consider exploring other opportunities as a backup. Unfortunately, these could be especially challenging times for anyone who has recently been on a PIP.


My Manager rated me 'needs improvements,after giving me additional work due to layoffs.

My Manager rated me 'needs improvement' and provided some comments after giving me additional work due to allocating more work after laying off a colleague year back. I used to have good ratings during previous 6 years with successful meet expectations.
Are these managers not trained, or what legal advice can I take or who should I talk to? EU employee.


I am not a financial person. Is this a good or bad sign for potential future of layoffs.

I am not a financial person. Is this good or bad for potential future of layoffs.

Verizon's plan to redeem $1.25 billion of its 4.329% notes due 2028 in full on September 21, 2026, is generally good for the company's long-term financial health. It shows active balance-sheet management and reduces future interest obligations, though it requires a substantial cash outlay upfront.

Why It Is Good
Lower Interest Costs: Paying off these notes stops future interest payments on that $1.25 billion, saving money over time.

Strong Financial Confidence: Redeeming the debt early signals to the market that Verizon has enough cash or liquidity to handle massive obligations without trouble.

Cleaner Balance Sheet: Reducing total leverage makes the company look more stable to credit agencies and long-term investors.

The Downsides
Immediate Cash Outflow: Verizon must part with $1.25 billion plus a calculated make-whole premium and accrued interest all at once.

Opportunity Cost: That cash cannot be used elsewhere, such as investing faster in network infrastructure, funding new acquisitions, or boosting shareholder returns.

Are fall layoffs coming?

Are there any rumors of fall layoffs after open enrollment? I'm not hearing the usual chatter but it seems to be a yearly event. It also seems to have been unusually long since the round. My mgr asked about my general flight risk in a meeting stating they were assessing the group plans. Is that a normal conversation? Our group is definitely not hiring. If anything it's shifting to more offshore.


Why do some people shut the door behind them?

At this point we all know several people who've been laid off. Some will tell you where they went and why, however others won't say who hired them. Its not like they're at risk of me stealing their newly acquired job, the only reason I can think of is they don't want a bunch of WF people to get wind of and go to their new company. Just seems crazy in this market to close the door behind you when you were in the same boat as others not too long ago.


RIFs are for the well-deserved !!

I have never met a bad person that got RIFFED. It was always the nice ones that were at or close to retirement . People look at it as a punishment but in reality it’s the company way of rewarding the good ones . The truth is everyone I know wants that package but too bad the company will determine who is deserving of it .


Retaliation at its finest.

Laid off yesterday after 15 years in retaliation for not wanting to take on even more work after basically taking on the work of three other people with no consideration for my capacity at all. It was definitely retaliation though I can't prove it. It su-ks that senior executives promote the global culture especially providing psychological safety but it doesn't actually exist and in fact toxic environments thrive. Don't know what my next steps are but there's freedom in not being stressed out about being behind in everything because you're overwhelmed with an ever-growing list of responsibilities and a leadership that doesn't care. Hopefully another division will scoop me. Nowhere to go but up from here


You can tell things are truly broken when people have two competing fears

The first one is getting laid off. The second, and more revealing one, is not getting laid off because that means staying in a place we hate, watching the ship slowly sink while we're still on it. And I know of more and more folks who feel this way. Says a lot about T, doesn't it?


Are they getting rid of the Store Scanners?

Heard September 10 is when store leadership will be told and will break the news to their team members the next morning. Is this true? I was fearing this because of the strong push with ESL rollout. Store scanners are useless now.

Only asking because I’m not sure if I should be actively seeking out employment before everyone else does.
