#layoff

Next round of layoffs then....

Anyone laid off in Q1 confirm what it is?

My LMFAO this am… CDW having a collections attorney making threat calls for $400 or so owed on an employee computer purchase… over two years after I was laid off. Money must be tight.

The layoffs are CONSTANT. They keep them small so they don’t have to be reported. But they are happening ALL THE TIME.

This is something people need to realize and accept. There's no point in asking when we'll be having more layoffs when layoffs never really stop.

Oklahoma County officials scheduled a special meeting. They will vote on additional funding for the jail. This funding aims to prevent a massive layoff. The jail faces a budget shortfall of over $5 million. The county's Budget Board will consider covering the deficit.

Looks like leaders are being walked out today...

Lane Community College faces potential layoffs. The faculty union warns up to 22 full-time instructors could lose jobs. Several part-time instructors may also be affected. Proposed cuts target multiple programs and departments. College administrators have not yet commented on the situation.

Illinois employers reported thousands of mass layoffs last month. The actual number of affected workers is closer to 2,300. The manufacturing sector recorded 1,264 permanent job losses. First Brands Group LLC accounted for over 1,000 of these cuts. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2025.

Has anyone else noticed a growing pattern / trend with Dell layoffs where "someone" will "leak" information about a particular group or org's upcoming layoffs, but layoffs are not for months out. Then, the company will do everything in its power to make their lives a living he-l so they quit on their own before their slated layoff time.

I've seen this pattern over and over now. Pretty slimy way to run a business. The forced attrition has gotten out of control.

Vistagen Therapeutics announced a roughly 20% workforce reduction on March 5, 2026, to cut costs and prioritize resources for its social anxiety nasal spray, fasedienol. This restructuring aims to extend the company’s cash runway while advancing its ongoing pipeline, specifically the PALISADE-4 Phase 3 trial.

Oracle is preparing for another round of job cuts in the coming months. The company allocated an additional $500 million for restructuring costs. This brings its total restructuring funds to $2.1 billion for the current fiscal year. Oracle cites AI advancements and data center expansion as reasons for these changes. The company previously cut over 3,000 jobs across several countries last year.

In previous companies I've worked at, the direct mgr does the layoff but from what I see in OT it's the VP who does the lay off ?

Are direct managers in the loop at all ?

When will invites go out , Friday ?

Why does only technology bear brunt of layoffs everytime? In the finance and business, we have directors without any reports or 1-2 reports, directors reporting to directors but those are overlooked and everytime GT suffers from most layoffs?

I have a theory that, the uneducated id--t hill doesn't understand technology unlike his predecessor, so everytime GT needs to make sacrifice for the lack of our CEO's intelligence (which separately gets reflected in the fall of stock price from 85 to 55)

Does molina ever move some employees to a different plan when layoffs are occurring?

I hope I just get laid off in these next rounds. A layoff is a band-aid ripped off with severance. PIP is torture. You still try, because some stupid part of your brain thinks you can beat it. So you exhaust yourself 'improving,' only to get fired anyway, just without the severance. What other tricks do they have planned?

If anyone is comfortable sharing details.

Good luck to all of us. I need the job.

So, if a BOA meets the Rule of 70, but has just been terminated (to make way for a younger person), can they still keep their LLP?

That’s probably not a good sign for those who would prefer to remain employed.

layoffs taking place today 3/17/26. Myself along with 2 others I know were laid off effective today!! GBD business

17 being made redundant across the UK and more expected in the next 90 days. Great reward for constantly hitting our targets.

Edgewell Personal Care announced the closure of its Schick razor manufacturing facility. This plant is located in Milford, Connecticut. The closure will result in 293 permanent layoffs. Employee terminations are expected to begin in March 2026. The facility is slated to close permanently by the end of 2027.

Hi everyone, i know it's a long shot, but I am genuinely looking into how to possibly "volunteer" for layoff. I am burnt out and going to take a career break, but how can I be part of layoffs if there is a second round? Might as well try to get some severance pay, based on hcsc policy for years worked here. Seriously asking/inquiring. Here come the troll/mock replies, I'm sure...

CVS Health plans to lay off 313 additional remote workers. These layoffs include 17 employees in Connecticut. The terminations are set for April 3 through July 31. The company cited operational changes in its Small Group business. More than 1,000 employees have been cut over the last two years.

Layoffs have been confirmed for May, affecting 15% of employees, with the list of impacted individuals to be shared with management this week.

I’ve been at IBM since 2013. Since that time I’ve seen most of the coworkers I counted as friends get laid off. (Why do we have to say “RA” just because the terms “lay off” and “laid off” cause IBM heartburn?) Given my age and my tenure at IBM, I can’t help but feel a bullseye forming on my back. Still, I’m more at peace with this idea as time goes on. Much of that is because I have yet to talk to any former IBM employee who wishes they were still with Big Blue.

Saks Global LLC secured an additional $300 million in bankruptcy funding. The luxury retailer also has a five-year business plan. Over 1,200 Saks employees will face layoffs by May. The company plans to close more than a dozen stores. Saks Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January due to debt.

I am hearing that there will be more layoffs on the 23rd. Some loud mouth that sits near me keeps bragging about how they are supposed to be quite. I guess he feels like one of the cool kids because they are in the loop.

Happened today, couple people disappeared after 10am. Confirmed with one of them.

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India

Good luck to all

Curious if anyone laid off is trying to secure another role within UHC or Optum? If yes, any success with getting interviews or re-hired? How long did it take you to get rehired?

Layoff and RTO fatigue. The beatings will continue until morale improves or people quit.

Laid off 3/5/26. Electronically submitted severence paperwork the next day. People say it takes 2-3 pay periods until it’s paid out. Is there any way to expedite?

Asking as I might take another internal position (I’m in the hiring process). You forfeit severance if you are hired back on BEFORE your severence pays out.

Would like to get severence AND get back on since the job market is terrible where I live.

Any suggestions from this group?

She's already pulled back from involvement in the company. This just formalizes it. Gone within 12 months.
