#layoff

Been hearing 6/10 for about a month, how’s it looking out there?

I was cut in the last round, I'd like to see if it's the same as it was then.

I’m an employee who’s been through a few rounds now, and the strange part is how routine it’s started to feel. Once one layoff ends, people don’t really relax, they just start wondering when the next announcement’s coming. Most of us just keep working, keep quiet, and try not to draw attention. Sad.

Expeditors International, the Seattle-area logistics company known for never laying off employees, cut about 230 technology-related jobs in Washington state on Monday, ending a tradition that had been a point of pride for much of the company’s history.

if you were/are impacted by the layoff, please reply and keep this post on the top so we can have some ideas how many people they are cutting secretly. Just post your date and your state.

Is it being reset? Or gutted?
Nothing makes sense

Lavish Roots eliminated 263 positions. The company served as a food vendor for Meta offices. Meta is transitioning to a new food provider. Most affected Lavish Roots employees will move to Meta's new provider. This change led to the job eliminations.

Los Angeles city officials expect to avoid layoffs for 70 employees. These positions were slated for elimination in last year's budget. The City Administrative Officer recommended halting the layoff process. This occurs despite a projected $96.8 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year. The City Council must still formally approve this recommendation.

Mount Vernon School District staff expressed dissatisfaction with recent personnel actions. The district cut 13 educator roles and transferred 41 teachers. Employees learned of these changes through email, causing distress. The district faces a $5.5 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year. Superintendent Victor Vergara apologized for the handling of these layoffs.

I have tight schedule and I won't be able to give 15 day notice, is that ok? will there be any pay cut?

Since Andrew left, and he only led for approximately 4.5 years or so, the treatment of employees has gone down to the gutter. The only period in which employees were treated fairly was during his tenure. Look up the history of UHG leadership and you will see what I’m saying. I was recently laid off after working here for 15 years. They not only offered me 5 weeks of pay, they put very “questionable language” in my layoff package.
Accepting their layoff package is accepting more abuse on the way out.
• If they get sued you should be on their side.
• If you were mistreated and (I’m watering this part down) or if you saw someone being mistreated, by accepting their severance you are saying it never happened.
• If you catch wind of them potentially being sued, you should warn them
• Also they added that you should not expect any payment for any of this! hahahahaha!!!!!!
• And if they call you for help with work after you’ve left, you have 48 hours to get back to them and help. This is teetering on… “fill in the blanks”…. and not even enforceable!
Who do their lawyers think they are? Very thuggish! I asked others that were laid off with me and they had similar language. And one that worked for 3 years only got 2 weeks worth of a paycheck.
This is all provable and true! To those of you still there, this is how they treat you after years of service, that’s if they don’t put you on a CAP or PIP to manage you out like someone said in a post on the UHG link here. They did this recently to my friend who worked in UHC for 25 years!

All of this after the Senior Leadership was cut in half at the end of March and EFX reported one of their highest grossing quarter?

Equifax continues this trend after every fiscal year end of getting rid of not just tenured people but highly knowledgeable and people who’ve whole heartedly dedicated their career to Equifax.

Wonder if anyone from the old TAX days are still around OR if they’re next on the chopping block.

Anyone know?

I’m doing the work of two people.

Commuting in to an office to sit on zoom all day is expensive and depressing.

We do more and more hard work while org leaders reap all the benefits. Nothing trickles down.

I’ll just hang out doing the minimum until I’m laid off.

all gift officers were given notice yesterday

This morning's memo from SK is effectively confirmation of everything we have been discussing. In corporate communications, an executive letter like this is called a "Pre-Announcement Framework."

When a CEO writes a long, weirdly emotional, metaphor-heavy letter (the fishing analogies, "caring family," "peace of mind") to the entire continent, it is designed to soften the blow for what is coming next.

Strip away the awkward language ("gently turn," "beautifully evolve") and look at the cold corporate math, this letter lays out the exact roadmap for the upcoming RIF. And it was painfully obvious.

you do not want to work at dell and you dont want to invest here. get out

Well, what leaders, especially certain SVPs, VP’s, and Sr. Directors, have been waiting for has happened. The $100K H1B visa fee has been blocked by a Federal Court. The wheels are already turning in RR and Austin to start lining up all the relocations from India to the US. While those are in process, a new large round of US citizen layoffs is in the works. My SVP is an Indian, and I just overheard his conversation with his Indian Sen. Director to start looking at Bangalore candidates to consider moving. It’s never going to end!

Laurentian University recently completed final severance payouts to former employees. These payments arrived years after their 2021 termination during CCAA restructuring. Creditors, including former staff, received 25 percent of their original owed amounts. The university sold property for $53.5 million to fund these distributions. This marks the final step in a lengthy and difficult insolvency process.

I’m genuinely curious. Why are you clinging to a company that no longer wants you?

I was an IC that took initiative and did impactful work that improved the performance of my entire team many times but my manager’s actions showed that they didn’t appreciate me or value me so I volunteered to be laid off and I was.

Actions speak louder than words and I think many of them look down on their underlings. So why are you clinging to these arrogant a**holes?

Just saw a post on LinkedIn that was

Excited to share my next chapter at Xerox! And then the post went on to share that this person moved into a director role and how they will continue to help Xerox on the transformation journey.

What wasn’t said but I bet is true: 1) this person is part of the 20% moving up at Xerox 2) while others whine about no pay raises this person created their pay raise 3) this person will continue to change Xerox for the better.

Congrats to another 20% worker changing our company for the better. Yes this was posted in the last 24 hours and this person moved into a new position after a round of lay offs.

Let’s talk about what happened in May. I was in the layoff group and I’ll tell you my clues specifically in wealth that I picked up on that warned me ahead of time. Granted I wanted to be laid off so I could leave with severance.

1. Wealth head’s cryptic email and the news that never came even after months.
2. Promotions and salary increase freezes because of the pending news
3. Managers, directors, and VP’s were literally all clueless and left in the dark about any news and left to fend for themselves with questions and comments from associates.
4. Rumors circulating about the increased number of days in office. VP’s receiving strong messaging to make sure their associates were adhering to connect week policies.
5. Managers acted like everything was going to be okay and everyone’s narratives were all mixed and based on rumors
6. Contracts were not renewed for a very large group of contractors
7. Inner rumblings of turf wars happening between groups within wealth
8. Wealth head and Abby were radio silent to the broader group of the org
9. Heavy focus on how AI can ‘help’ associates lighten their load
10. all hands meetings, syncs, and broad group meetings were out of nowhere canceled stating it would be rescheduled later.
11. Meeting invite from my manager popped up late evening when we already had a scheduled 1-1 later that week.

They are laying off people from expeditors as of today in Bellevue. At least two known reports on Reddit. /Ask Seattle.

A lot of whispers say July. Jville-Heartland is one of the targets. Is it all of Jville or select leaders? If you know, just say so people can start preparing.

This is Veradigm's third layoff round impacting multiple positions across India and the US.

The head of tragedy. The sultan of swirl. The iron lung. Fired.

Anything yet?

Nearly 300 people shown the door. This is definitely not all, considering that layoffs are supposed to be part of modernization plan announced a few months ago. I'm betting they'll "modernize" even more people out of their jobs before they consider it over. Sad days in Amana.
