U.S. employers announced a significant increase in layoffs recently. This trend highlights the importance of financial preparedness for workers. Experts recommend creating an emergency budget and building savings. Negotiating severance packages and understanding tax implications is also crucial. Workers should prioritize emergency funds over credit cards or retirement withdrawals.

How will my manager manage?
She has 3 pets, 2 performers, 2 under performers.
How will she fit them in the corporate Thrive boxes? With only $16,485.38 cents for raises, 2 of the pets are going to be punished by being forced into the performer box.
I do not see this working out well for my teammates. Feels like more undocumented RIF actions than NetApp's move important asset.
WDGSTIF? Who Did George Steal This Idea From? Oh, well his twin brother of course.
Is there a US based layoff coming in the next month? Wondering because we have all hands scheduled in the next two weeks so seems like it might be weird to have an all hands during layoffs
New Jersey employers announced nearly 4,000 job cuts in the first two months of 2026. Amazon alone expects to cut over 800 jobs across several New Jersey counties. JPMorgan Chase and Citibank also filed notices impacting hundreds of banking positions. Bristol Myers Squibb and health insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield will also reduce staff. An economics professor views these figures as small relative to the state's overall economy.

Master plan is to cut deep and manage by moving IDC resource to US using L1B loophole if the situation demands. Good luck folks.
I've been through a few layoff cycles and I don't remember ever once an employee on a H1B visa or any other work visa getting let go. H1B visa holders are considered temporary workers. Why are full time employees let go before temporary employees? Soon all of Nike will be visa workers. The American dream is for everyone except Americans.
Starting to hear of the March round taking shape. Know of 1 in HR. What’s everyone else seeing?
Can anyone confirm/deny if there will be layoffs at the corporate HQ’s this upcoming month?
Working in tech is such a reliable way to plan to raise a family, with long-term employment stability.

NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO, March 13 (Reuters) - Meta (META.O), opens new tab is planning sweeping layoffs that could affect 20% or more of the company, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as Meta seeks to offset costly artificial intelligence infrastructure bets and prepare for greater efficiency brought about by AI-assisted workers.
Post any high level details of what you are seeing this morning (or if you were impacted).
Any one sued Oracle for H1B retaining and Laying off US worker ? What are the steps to be followed and documents required ?
Please post here throughout the week if you hear anything about the potential 3/19 RIF, information is power....
Why hasn't the media said anything about the never ending layoffs? Why hasn't anyone spoken to the media?
Does a HR goon inform you, in-person or through email or zoom? If I get a layoff notice. I'm going to stop logging on to my laptop and waste my time reading or responding to emails.
At this point I've heard fifty different versions about what's coming.
A lot of rumors have been flying around the office lately, though nothing sounds substantiated. I just can't figure out why layoffs talk suddenly picked up. If anyone knows anything, please share.
Things were kept under wraps for a while but now your Band 5 leader now knows what’s going down…they have to choose who is going to be riffed…who will sink or swim. Don’t trust a single thing they say…
That’s the rumor swirling. Allegedly Wednesday. Does anyone know who exactly will be affected? I remember an article from February saying that 15% of the staff will be cut in the spring so I’m guessing that’s now.
Last year during March 19th they had layoffs of corporate employees, tech was hit the hardest. That was due to a series of decisions they made during a leadership offsite. Similar pattern this year (late Feb) they had a leadership offsite. From what I had exposure to they are finalizing headcount and growth, but also eliminating anything that isn't a priority for 2026/2027 (even if it's needed to manage Wayfair ops and technology). This all depends on how well your L6/L7 told your STO story.
Something is coming but I not sure about the scale or when. This could be a series of small restructures or a wider riff. I suspect March 16 to 30th we'll hear something. Please share anything you know to support your peers.
US employee who was lays off. Challenging severance offer in courts. Anyone been successful?
So I was officially RIF ( in EMEA) about 2 weeks ago.
My direct manager; who I used to speak to maybe Three times a week has not even called or messaged. I did speak to him the day before I was RIF, he talked about plans and work related travel 3 months out.. wtf…
Has there been any layoffs or anything coming in independent testing and validation outside of getting rid of the people in California for location strategy ?
Anyone heard anything about layoffs within the US UW division?
Been seeing a lot of comments on earlier posts about rumors of layoffs. Was wondering if there is a similar pattern between now and the last significant layoff in 2023? Just want to be prepared and not caught off guard. Thanks! (Apparently PNC didn’t file warn notice for that round)
Is anyone able to clarify what to expect on the 26th. Is this just Europe, Middle East, Asia (EMEA) or is this also in the states? Is it an offer of a VSP or a RIF? The posts have been vague.
Someone I know is an ebilling employee at hertz In ireland and has informed me that they are being laid off as part of a group of 78 people. What's left of this department is left to train workers in India who be training bots to do the ebilling instead.
