I think all of them are crazy. Who would want to stay in this mess? Okay, I can understand some people who are worried about health insurance and stuff like that, but isn't that going to be just as much of a problem if they're laid off after VSP is wrapped up?

I've been thinking about this a lot. Working at BNY was like being in a bad relationship. Constantly stressed and unhappy but I stayed because it was familiar and the money was okay. Then one day I was let go and it was terrifying at first. But then the severance arrived and I had time to rest, to think, and to remember who I was before that place wore me down. And eventually I found something new where I'm actually treated well. In the end, leaving turned out to be the best possible thing for me.

Is there any news about layoffs I should know about?

The company will conduct reductions in force (RIFs) each month. There is a targeted headcount reduction that must be achieved based on forecasts designed to demonstrate that operating expenses are being managed and financial controls are in place.

For this round, approximately 90% of impacted employees will be notified by Thursday of this week, with a small number of notifications extending into next week due to colleagues being out on PTO.

Going forward, colleagues should expect RIFs around the same time each month. However, this month’s reduction is expected to be larger than usual, with a higher number of colleagues being affected.

Bumping this from @b6+1kvr3808t for info.

Any way to know how many are still left to be notified?

I hear through the grapevine of more, and very significant, layoffs today. I worked at this once great company for a good number of years, until the PE firms and an incompetent CEO started driving it into the ground. It’s a real shame and I truly hope the recently-announced replacement CEO can turn the company around. I feel bad for tne many people who have lost their jobs today.

I got a recurring meeting invite for tomorrow as one on one - disguised maybe, layoff? Thoughts?

Hopefully there won't be any layoffs in the near future, but there are some things you can do to be prepared in advance in the event you are impacted by a layoff.

Do not keep anything personal on your work PC. Usually, when you are laid-off, you lose immediate access to your PC and that may mean losing anything that you had on there that was actually yours. Think photos, personal documents, personal emails, etc.
Keep personal, non—confidential examples of your work, performance appraisals, pay information, raises and other work-related items in a place where you can access it if you can no longer access your work PC. You may need the work examples if you have to look for another job. Again, make sure you are not taking any documents that would be considered company confidential.
Keep an updated list of your contacts that you can access if you lose access to your work PC. Those contacts in your network may be essential if you are looking for work. They may be aware of jobs and can also be references. Or, these are just people you want to keep in touch with.
Layoffs are widespread right now and for many, they are lasting much longer than expected. Do a personal financial review to determine how financially prepared you are for a long layoff. Start putting some emergency money away if you need to.
Update your resume and LinkedIn profile. Get active on LinkedIn and demonstrate your expertise more publicly.
Follow Dan Goodman on LinkedIn. He does a great job in helping people understand their rights as employees and provides excellent advice on a broad range of employment topics.
What are some other things you would recommend to help someone be prepared for a possible layoff?

I have struggled with a decision on the VSP offer. I have found myself really concerned if I accept and my request is denied it could be viewed by leadership, that I am not as loyal. Starting to see VSP offer as possibly an opportunity, If I felt I could stay without layoff that would be my first choice. Hoping any VSP acceptance does no appear as I don't want to be here any longer. How many other feel the same?

This uncertainty is ki-ling me. Folks on this thread have talked about 13% of the workforce being RIF'd, multiple teams expected to be impacted and most of it being initiated today. Yet, not many have said a word about receiving that uncomfortable meeting invite. Just 1-2 people have confirmed getting it.

At what stage in this week can we breathe a sigh or relief? When will we know if we survived this round or not? Or were people simply trolling or exaggerating the numbers?

The uncertainty and anxious waiting period is worse than just knowing you're impacted!!

Can someone please share the terms of the latest LR packages? Looking to understand how many months pay / year of service, how long health care runs for, what happens to RSU's etc.

Anyone know how July 16 will impact Value?

Both sides argued vehemently that the accidental lockout was (or was not) a coincidence with the surplus list from last week.

Now that the surplus has happened, we should know. Was anyone here who WAS locked out NOT surplused?

I moved across the country from California to Dallas end of last year as part of the FTW effort to keep my job. I was then locked out of my account before Memorial Day, and last week received notice that I am being surplussed.

I’m wondering if as a part of any of these facts I have any legal ground to stand on against the company. Is anyone else in the same boat or have had a similar experience? This feels like totally unfair and targeted treatment.

Sorry for the linkedin slop. I'm not about that life on main but yall have been such a huge part of my professional career I have to say goodbye somewhere.

I wasn't surprised when Nike laid me off this time around. 4 months parental leave + sabbatical on the horizon is a tough pill for a declining company.

Anyways. After 6 weeks and 7 or 8 interviews I have my next job lined up. Similar pay, bigger title, bigger responsibilities. Everyone works in the same timezone and the office is full of smiles. I guess I do have to start wearing pants to work though.

I think I'm finally ready to close this toxic chapter of my life. It has been a long while since I was proud to work at Nike. But I can say I've always been proud to call all you OGs my coworker. I'll always fondly remember our golden years of competence.

I'm headed to the other coast though so I'll probably never see any of you again. 🫡
Look out for yourselves. If you start thinking your skills might be getting rusty brush off your resume and move on. The couch is comfy but Nike hates seniority.

Report layoffs, layoff rumors and insider info here. I'll start: OI big time

Assigned to a location officially on RTO letter but chose Dallas instead. Will I get axed for moving to a location other than the RTO specified one? I feel like I will get axed for that but supervisor does not think so and yes I asked multiple times. Anyone in the same boat?

I would. No hesitation.

We all know more cuts are coming. But I'm looking at other companies and they're all in the same shape. I'd leave if I could find somewhere better, but I can't. And the stress of all this is really taking a toll on me physically. I honest to goodness don't know what to do.

The new strategy seems clear - scare us into quitting so they don't have to pay severance. Managers are allowed to treat people terribly and threaten us with firings but I've never seen anyone actually fired. Let them try. I'm not doing them any favors. If they want me out, they can pay me what I'm owed.

Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy has become a high-profile example of the legal hurdles terminated employees face, even as they argue the mass layoffs were done without the legally required notice.

But I'd rather know now if I'm going to be show the door than wait and stress for months. Just expecting layoffs all the time is making me miserable.

Global Empire Corporation laid off 74 employees in March 2024. The company closed its call centre in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. A provincial regulator ordered GEC to pay nearly $194,000 to 69 workers. This payout was for failing to provide proper layoff notice. Global Empire Corporation appealed the decision, and the dispute remains unresolved.

Careerminds conducted a new survey on layoff recovery. Organizations average 7.2 months to fully recover workplace culture. Trust in leadership and company future significantly declines after job cuts. These trust levels often remain below pre-layoff averages. Team-building and other strategies can accelerate recovery but are underused.

I'm so over feeling overwhelming dread every Sunday. Give me severance and I'll happily leave. Even being unemployed would be better for my mental health than this constant torture.

Just a short note to wish everyone good luck at this stressful time.
Losing your job is scary but here are some things worth remembering if you get the chop.

It’s not personal, it’s not a judgement on your ability, work ethic or personality.
It’s the incompetent actions of a failing leadership.
You will feel a whole load of emotions, especially if you’ve been at fis for sometime.
Do not make rash decisions in the first few days.
Do try to be polite and professional despite the fact that they are treating you like sh!t. immediate managers handle these things in different ways. Some just read the script, others read the script as they must and then call you separately. Most of the time they have very little if any choice in who gets cut. On rare occasions the tw&t will expect you to spend your last days handing over everything you do to someone else. IF you can say no without losing any payout I’d say no. IF you would lose a payout by refusing, smile, say yes and maybe ‘get sick with stress’ 😊

Lastly remember it’s fis’ loss when you leave, not yours!

Due to Sales not hitting their lofty goals they boasted about

I was hired last August, and my RSUs are basically nothing at this point. I'm really disappointed with how this company is run, how/who they're hiring. Most of all, I'm seeing more contractors and offshoring. This company needs to innovate, and I don't see that happening here. I'm done here, I'll start applying elsewhere. Good luck to you guys

Last year I was told the pension plan was underfunded by $1.5B. Will AT&T make an honorable effort to close that gap now that the employment is terminated for so many, or does the shortfall continue to be swept under the rug?
