Los Angeles Unified School District has approved a significant pay increase for its employees, but now faces a substantial deficit. To cover the costs, the district plans to lay off thousands of its newest employees, primarily teachers. This decision is largely driven by California's "last in, first out" (LIFO) layoff law, which prioritizes senior employees. Union leaders negotiated the deal, knowing the implications for younger staff. The district's financial instability has led to county oversight and concerns about mismanagement.

I have heard of a merger with the PSLs. From 12 to 8 PSLs. This has come with layoffs. Can someone confirm this? What is going on? There is always something happening. I read the other chat saying it could be because of Shannon taking over Jeff.

My manager is MIA, so we never got an all-clear from him.

And it never gets easier. I'm now almost hopeful about getting laid off just to put a stop to it. Almost.

A state watchdog agency has indicated that the Los Angeles Unified School District could have avoided its current financial crisis by not replacing departing staff. The district is now facing significant layoffs to address a $3.6 billion deficit. Despite authorizing thousands of layoffs, only a fraction were implemented, resulting in minimal savings. The district's solvency plan includes further job reductions, furlough days, and benefit changes, all requiring union negotiation. Ultimately, the school board must demonstrate the commitment to execute these necessary cuts.

.. I appreciated going out like the ending of an 80s movie .. middle fingers up and walking away. Good riddance!

Just one more opportunity to AEOI please! - Mike, ELT and HR are you listening? If most of us knew how bad it was going to be we would have put our hands up right away. Some of us need the cushion before making our next move.

Sharp HealthCare is implementing a realignment affecting approximately 260 employees, a year after a previous round of layoffs. This move impacts various clinical and administrative roles across the organization. CEO Chris Howard cited reductions in federal reimbursement programs, including Medicaid and Medicare, as the primary driver for these necessary cuts. Despite a reported operating loss, the organization aims to achieve break-even operations and secure funds for future investments. Some behavioral health positions are being restructured to comply with new state staffing mandates.

I got the emails yesterday to confirm all of my personal information, emergency contacts and mailing address. I know they do this here and there, but it also seems like they have done this right before a big cut.

I have no basis for this - just my gut. I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, at least it'll be done and I can stop worrying - 15 years of this garbage and I've had enough.

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page warned of potential police layoffs if new revenue sources are not found. He cited insufficient funding from Prop P to cover rising police department costs. Page suggested using Rams settlement funds or a new online sales tax as solutions. County Council members dismissed his warning as a "scare tactic" and denied plans for layoffs. The county is facing a significant budget deficit for the upcoming year.

No more layoffs for at least a while?

If the goal is to reach the minimum number of people we can have and still manage to function properly, can we just go ahead and get there now? Just have one huge layoff round, get rid of everybody you want, and then let us go back to work without layoffs hanging over our heads 24/7. These incremental cuts are so much worse than anything.

There were 300 layoffs last week in PSS globally. It’s being kept very hush hush.

Anyone notified yet?

About 18 months ago WF laid me off after a long 15-year run. Now, I get solicited for contractor roles about once or twice per month.

Wells Fargo: You can take your contract role and shove it up your a-s. I'm gainfully employed and have no desire to go back to your cesspit of despair.

I heard Aug 18 for the layoffs in the US (a little birdie told me). Reorg shortly after.

I knew this week was going to be layoff week, but to see this playing out is crazy.

I should not be on this forum while on vacation, however... it's like disaster p0rn, can't look away. I also want to try to prepare for whatever nonsense I'm going to log back in to.

I'm already out (took the VSP with a 9/4 separation date) but I just KNOW the next three weeks are going to be an absolute sh-tshow until I leave. the people who make the restructuring decisions typically don't understand any of the existing processes, which means a whole lot of unnecessary confusion for those who actually do the work.

they always preach, "it's business as usual, nothing is changing blah blah blah..." and none of this is business as usual. it hasn't been for almost two months now.

Anyone on the New Hampshire plans getting the boot?

My understanding is that today is the second of three days of layoffs. Did you get an ominous meeting today? What department was affected?
Also my condolences in advance. This is terrible.

Integral ad science did a round of layoffs yesterday. The amount of employees laid off is unknown at this time.
From the new ceo Lidiane jones “ Realigning the company behind these objectives means that we have to make hard decisions about teams’ structures, reporting lines, responsibilities and roles across the company. This means certain roles have been eliminated and we will be saying goodbye to a number of our colleagues.

In some regions, including the U.S., we will be notifying impacted employees today and are aiming to have individual conversations with impacted employees regarding transition support and next steps. In Europe, we are initiating formal consultation, review and/or individual discussion processes as required by local laws. Exact timing and processes may differ in certain countries based on local requirements. ”

Does anyone know if anymore vertex / OIC1’s are getting laid off this week ? or was it just yesterday for them? I know of some vertexer’s who got laid off but wasn’t sure if they are doing more from this department

Layoffs today, best of luck everyone!

So finally the company got the ba--s to be honest and broke the news Wilmington office IS closing June 2027. But the kicker is they are saying everyone “left” would be working remotely. I just don’t see that being true after all they just FIRED tons of people for working remote and some just because of downsizing. I feel in 10 months we will all be told to go home and leave the equipment right here as in HUGE LAY OFF. This su-ks!!!!!

The City of Austin is moving forward with a plan to centralize its technology department, known as One ATS. This initiative aims to save millions of dollars annually after a tax ballot measure failed. While city management states no layoffs are planned, they acknowledge costs will be reduced as people leave. A union representative expressed concerns about potential safety risks and the impact on public services. The consolidation is expected to affect tech employees across various city departments, including emergency services.

Last year, the 10-K seemed to foreshadow a significant round of layoffs, given Oracle’s roughly $2B restructuring budget.

The FY27 10-K, by comparison, indicates about $300M in restructuring costs, and at least some of that appears to be tied to completing restructuring actions initiated in the previous fiscal year.

Am I missing something, or is this year’s restructuring budget much more in line with Oracle’s typical fiscal-year spending rather than suggesting another unusually large RIF?

Expedia Group is planning to lay off 100 employees at its North Austin office. These job reductions are scheduled to begin in April. The travel tech company did not provide a specific reason for the layoffs. This follows recent cuts to its technology team and previous workforce reductions in Austin last year.

General Motors has laid off approximately 500 to 600 employees, primarily in information technology roles. The terminations occurred after employees received an unexpected virtual meeting invitation. Artificial intelligence played a role in the decision, though it was not the sole factor. Affected employees are being offered severance packages and outplacement services. Despite these cuts, GM continues to hire for IT positions, including those focused on AI.

I see lots of jobs open so why are they not trying to move people who are on the RIF list to these spots? Yes, some require specialized degrees, such as nurses, but many of them don't. In 90% of these jobs, people can be trained to do them. Why would they let experience walk out the door? People who've been here for years could easily transition. Is it because they're going to bring in new folks at lower pay? Make it make sense.

The University of Texas at Austin is eliminating 23 positions, which will result in layoffs.

It is also worth considering the possibility of an involuntary exit in your calculus of exit math and taking a new job. I was within 5 years of full pension when I got the surprise news. About two years earlier I did the math and turned down an outside opportunity because I thought the risk was non-existent. That was after negotiating the gap as small as possible. Companies change, leaders change, you aren’t in full control. Be realistic. The trajectory of Exxon is clear. Act accordingly.

Bethesda Game Studios, known for titles like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, is reducing its workforce. A Texas Workforce Commission filing indicates ZeniMax Media is laying off 22 employees at its Austin office. This action follows a broader announcement of 4,800 layoffs by parent company Microsoft.
