#layoff

Is the layoff true or a lie?

Who would leave without a second thought if they were able to land an offer, even if the pay was slightly lower?

I was just laid off . So far we lost 6 people. No email, just access denied. F&B GBU

George Washington University's Law School has implemented layoffs as part of a restructuring effort. This decision stems from ongoing financial challenges faced by the institution. The law school's dean cited new legislation, shifts in funding and financial aid, and demographic changes as contributing factors. These layoffs follow similar reductions at two other schools within the university this fiscal year. The university has announced broader budget cuts to address its financial position.

Today Oracle has released me to meet my future head on with no impediments for this former remote OCI gal. I love a good rollercoaster ride, so here's to looking for, and finding, all the silver linings and rainbows. They shouldn't be too hard to find if I keep my rose colored glasses within reach.

The Miami Herald has laid off 30 employees as part of broader cost-cutting measures by McClatchy Media. Among those affected was Greg Cote, a sports reporter who had been with the newspaper for 54 years. Cote announced his departure on social media, noting it occurred on his birthday.

Has anyone been transferred to a new team multiple times in the same year? And not under the same director. Is this a sign of a layoff coming?

OVG Hospitality has announced potential layoffs affecting 128 workers at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. This action stems from a competitive bid for food and beverage concession management.

Acclaimed virtual reality developer Polyarc Games has officially shut down after nearly twelve years in business. The Seattle-based studio confirmed its closure on September 11, 2026, impacting 29 employees. This follows a significant layoff in March 2026 after a major project lost its funding. Polyarc was best known for its award-winning Moss series. The studio's final release was a non-VR version of its catalog.

I believe this is drop is the start of the layoff. Prayers to all

Can somebody please either share or tell me where I can find company severance info? I'd just like to know what to expect in case of layoffs.

There have been rumors for a while, do we know something concrete by now or not?

Does anyone know what we can expect?

Three layoffs in a row has taken most of the shock out of it for me. I hoped Oracle would break the streak, but chances are I was wrong. It was a good year and a half, I guess.

Let's get it done and move on. Waiting is ten times worse in my book.

Not sure when exactly, so if you know more, please share.

If you’re not someone who owns the service at the IC4/IC5 level, you’re probably on the list. The last RIF targeted similar roles, and leadership has been pretty clear that AI is increasing productivity and that we can get more done with fewer people. So, indirectly, management is being pushed to cut IC3 and below.
One thing I’d also keep in mind is when your RSUs vest. If a significant portion of your RSUs is scheduled to vest in the next 60 days, that could be an important factor to consider. That’s just how things seem to be playing out.

Take some time off, don’t immediately jump into a job search. Go spend time with family and friends. Take that trip you talked about but never took. Enjoy the freedom. There are better jobs and companies out there, a layoff from Oracle will be a blessing in disguise.

For those who have been impacted, how long after your last paycheck did you receive your severance payment?

Really interesting LinkedIn post from dr parsons. Sad to see him go.

I was coldly let go a few months ago. I took some time to deal with the consequences of what they did to me, but now, I'm ready to go back to work. Could mentionning TD on my resume be a deal-breaker preventing potential employers to hire me? I've stayed for 5 damn years in this sh*tty company 🤡, so it isn't something I just can hide 😞! 5 years with my mental health declining, not enough sleep, nightmares, etc. So for those of you, who like me, aren't there anymore, how did you do it? How did you convince an employer to hire you after TD? Sending hugs and take care ❤️

FYI- I received an email around 5pm with the following info:

Due to an error in Workday, your severance documents were not pushed to you as intended. Therefore, we have moved to process your severance benefits manually. Please note that you will not be able to sign your agreement in Workday due to this error. We will need you to either print, sign and scan the document to be emailed back to us, or use any electronic signature application to sign it instead.

Fiserv's back door program TO GET RID OF GOOD PEOPLE WITHOUT SEVERANCE IS is PIP..

Manager puts you in PIP.. cr-p .. you have been here for 20+ years , recorded high performance, then puts all kinds of restrictions to not come into office , not show up in office over the weekends to make up the work.. then HR sh-t terminates in 2 minutes.. no discussion and no conversation...

We need a class action lawsuit on this process.. working with a damn good employment attorney..

Heard from a reliable source that a massive (600+ people) are getting let go at the beginning of October. Was told it impacts every level….Just wanted to give others a heads up in case your manager is acting funny 🫠

Co-worker VZ ASSOCIATE in NY just received company offer via email regardg surplus declared and offer. Offer closes OCT 2 termination OCT 10.

For anyone who was RIF'd- how does it work with RSUs? Is that all gone or do you get paid out? I see present vesting dates are 3/1/2027 and 3/1/2028

Did any one had a better lucky not signing release of claim? And filing a lawsuit on layoffs?

The Ontario Science Centre has laid off 31 employees, according to the union representing them. These job reductions have reportedly eliminated the centre's standalone science unit. The provincial government stated these changes are part of a plan to deliver science learning experiences at new locations. They also indicated that new roles would be created, with some available to affected individuals. The union expressed strong disapproval, questioning the purpose of a science centre without a science unit.

Not a single caring word from management. Feeling nothing for laying off employees with babies. May their children be laid off when they have babies. May no one extend kindness to them when they are in trouble. Fair enough!

A family-owned trucking company has announced its closure following a failed attempt to find a buyer after filing for bankruptcy. The business owes a significant amount to its lender, which contributed to its inability to continue operations. This closure will result in the permanent layoff of 74 employees. The company has begun liquidating its equipment as part of the formal winddown process. Notices were also sent to independent contractor drivers as a precautionary measure.

Jay Hagler is leaving - can’t tell if it’s voluntary or not, either way another rat is leaving the ship!

Who else ?

Condolences (or congratulations) to you. If you wouldn't mind:

Location
Division
Years of Service

Does he still work at PayPal? What are his hours? Will he grace us again with his words of wisdom? Interviewed like he’s on a talk show?

Seriously this guy is the worst leader. He’s leaving the management up to everyone else, and everyone has the same questions. You would think that after a layoff he would get up in front of the company and talk about the next steps. Get everyone excited again.

WHERE ARE YOU ENRIQUE?!? You asked for this de-layering but nothing has changed for you.

Have seen several post regarding questions about severance payout. The specifics vary from country to country and the time he made to, but in the US payment is not paid on the normal pay cycle.
