I have a 95% feeling I'll be included tomorrow, and I want to join a support group, mostly for tips on next steps and get constant reminders that I'm not alone in this.

I know there are too many articles and posts signaling the layoffs are going to happen tomorrow , i.e. 3/31. Since it’s just a day, anyone can confirm here if they got some hints or would get today. No trolls please! Asking genuinely. Will then balance out the work and backing up.

Asking for US.

Everything seems so normal except online.

I have received a severance agreement after my layoff from Citi. If I am offered a job at Citi in a different department but turn down the job, will I lose the severance?
I don't see this question addressed in the agreement.

I want to share my experience of the layoff process at Oracle. I was RIF'd in September 2025. I worked for Oracle for 17 years: 7 years in the UK and then transferred to the US for personal reasons (my wife is American and we wanted to be closer to family). Oracle made that move so much simpler and for all the bad things I will forever be grateful to Oracle. During my time in the US I was relatively high achieving within my team and had carved out a unique and critical DevOps role within my team. It wasn't rocket science, but it was unique and critical and I thought it gave me some protection against a RIF. On the Tuesday before I was RIF'd (Wednesday) I attended a meeting with my VP, Senior Director, Director (I was IC4) and we were planning for some business critical work that coming weekend. This is relevant as no one in those positions had any idea it was coming or we would not have been wasting our time on that planning meeting! The following morning we had another meeting (Oracle and their meetings...) and the VP didn't show up... the senior director didn't show up... the director and the ICs all showed up. I then got wind of something being up around 30 mins after the meeting as people were starting to disappear on Slack. I messaged my Director and he was talking to me on the phone and then he excused himself and had to drop for an urgent meeting that had just shown up in his calendar. He messaged me 10 minutes later to say that he had been RIF'd and his access was going to go away and gave me his personal email and said he was there to help however things worked out (great guy). Then around 30 mins later I received an email from my EVP. It was a boilerplate job and basically said "Today is your last day with Oracle, so long and thanks for all the fish". My Slack etc carried on working and in fact all my access continued working, that struck me as super d-mb.... I didn't do anything with that access but others might not have been so responsible! Around 2 hours later I was locked out of everything and was left numb walking off into the sunset. I received my severance on schedule and that was that. It all just felt very sloppy and isn't the way I would have handled it. An email after 17 years just felt a lot like a "F U". My entire org was laid off (bar a couple a of guys to keep the lights on - who wants to be that guy!!) so it was obviously not personal but it just felt so sloppy.

It seems to quiet…..

What if you were told, "we are going to lay you off, should have been done already, but we have too much work at the moment. So, we need you here to do the work then we will lay you off."
This has actually happened in Tech under BT's watch.
The question is, would you put in 100% and do your best, or would you say "scr3w it, I'm marking my time since they don't want me"?
I think I'd be in the latter group. Having been told that is extremely harsh and super bad for morale. (although I don't think they care about morale)
What about the co-workers? How do you even face each other knowing the axe is hanging above heads?

Looks like Steve B’s leaving was a complete surprise to Louie.

There have been some rumors since the big round in January about April being a target for a second round of layoffs. Anyone have more details to share on if another round will emerge and areas impacted?

layoff today in stanford. 1 person identified

Im so sorry it happened to you. But at least you can warn others, and give a tiny slice of payback. They do care a lot about FIS' public image

ESPP is on March 31st that's why US layoff will happen on 03/31

The real number of layoffs in Jeff Simon's org just on 3/24 is roughly 600, not 400 as reported in other threads.

But don't worry, the India build out is full steam ahead. Shamelessly, they even got rid of people who went to India to help stand up the office.

Good luck to everyone.

Toy giant Mattel, the maker of Barbie and Hot Wheels, is laying off employees from its El Segundo headquarters, according to a notice to state authorities.

The company is expected to permanently lay off 65 employees from its headquarters located at 333 Continental Blvd in El Segundo, Los Angeles County, according to its official WARN notice.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) Act, employers are legally mandated to provide a minimum of 60 days’ notice prior to plant closures, mass layoffs, or major relocations. The notice gives local agencies and staff time to prepare, according to WARN.

Mattel submitted the documentation on March 23, 2025, and it was processed the following day. The layoffs will be effective from May 22, 2026, the WARN filing showed.

This is the second time Mattel has laid off employees from its headquarters within a few months. In January 2026, the company laid off 89 employees, according to WARN filings.

Citing a Mattel spokesperson, a news report by Los Angeles Business Journal said that the layoffs in January were part of its effort to restructure its global brands team.

Most of the impacted employees held senior or executive positions, including significant roles on Barbie, action figures, and games teams, the report added.

In March 2025, Mattel laid off 120 workers from its headquarters, most of whom held positions like manager, director, and vice president, according to a Los Angeles Times report. The job losses were part of the cost-cutting effort as the company focused on maximizing its profits.

Citing Mattel spokesperson Catherine Frymark, the news report said that the company was targeting $200 million in cost savings by 2026.

Earlier layoff notices showed that Mattel reduced 439 employees from its El Segundo headquarters since 2020, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal.

I’ve noticed that some people from the company continue to follow and monitor our LinkedIn profiles even after we were laid off and have moved on to new and better opportunities.

If you see that someone has landed a new role, a simple “congratulations” would be more appropriate than checking profiles, sharing posts internally, or gossiping about them.

For those who may not be aware, LinkedIn Premium allows users to see who is viewing their profile. It’s easy to notice repeated views. I could easily identify several individuals who have been checking my profile regularly.

Being laid off ultimately opened the door to better opportunities for many of us, and I’m grateful for where that journey has taken me. Sometimes what seems like a setback turns out to be the best thing that could happen.

Laid off from Fidelity as a SWE in 2024, became a contractor at another company using a contracting agency that works with Fidelity. Wanted to know if there’s a list of contracting agencies Fidelity uses so I can contact them and have more contacting agencies under my belt looking for a job when I need one. Thank you.

Coming first or second week of April. Once again, B10 will be decimated lives and families destroyed and children lose healthcare. Decisions being made above flms and slm heads. All decided by opps.

I hear AI is axing jobs. KC seems to think its a job eliminator to cut back on people. Rumor Ive heard our CHRO has in mind anyway. Whats the strategy. Productivity or cost savings?

Are there any hard pointers such as IT blocking some stuff, etc?

I got laid off in Jan and still have not received my severnace and vacation. I reached out to Hr but not received a response. Anyone I can reach out to? How hard is it to pay someone after 60 day notice, its not like my end date was a suprise to anyone.

I heard at least one division has decided to pull out of the Sacramento site and layoffs might be on the horizon. anyone else has info?

Is there any info on layoffs for former TSYS employees?

Why does anyone work here anymore? I can't wait to be laid off or quit, hoping for the former! Wasn't today walk out day? If you get fired do you still have to pay back sign on bonus?

DOes anyone know when the next layoff at wellmed will be? Im looking into quitting but would like to wait until the next layoffs. Just in case so i can get my severance package. Either way, im ready to get out of here

What are the current betting odds that the April 15th all-company is to explain another mass layoff early in the month circa the mid-July 2024 “bloodbath”? Still no WARN notices I can find, but the timing right after Q1 and corporate jobs disappearing in every other industry does make one wonder.

Another 52 week low with the stock today and has fallen under major support

If it continues to fall then it very likely PE take over, strip the company to bare bones and break it up for parts
