How much time does EH have left until he himself is laid off for underperformance? Who would the next CEO even be? Internal or external?

Someone mentioned layoffs in Boston, but there has been no all clear from leadership. Does this mean more Surgical Robotics layoffs are coming in the next few days or weeks?

How will RTO be used in place of a layoff? The managers in my group don’t even show up all the time and take a lot of PTO during connect weeks.

I assume nothing will really happen to managers but what will the trickle down impact will this have on their teams? I assume managers are also nagged about their attendance?

Does anyone know if there are specific employment attorneys working with Edward Jones associates? I am being set up to be let go, probably so they won’t have to pay out the large amount of severance I would be due.

I was part of the RIF on thursday. What are things in must do list before my last day and what are things i can do to optimize my package.

Look at the capital one intranet.

The “legacy discover severance plan and spd” just got updated as of May 1, 2026.

They are planning to lay off more legacy discover folks

Idk if can be anyone or it’s a specific department or is it random?

Any mainframe developers affected in this layoff?

Anything on the horizon ? I presume after March that we are clear until October ?

We’ve definitely been sold to either Goldman or JPM.

It’s just a matter of time now before they announce the sell and layoff of full business units.

Full decimation soon.

We used to have that. Can we go back to that time?

Call me lazy if you want, but I'm not the one who reaches for layoffs every time expenses need to come down. There are a hundred ways to save money that don't involve cutting people. They just don't want to do the work to find them. I'm just returning the favor.

As soon as the layoff rumors start, I can't sleep. I am consumed with anxiety, I can't focus, I can't stop checking my inbox. How do the rest of you cope with this kind of uncertainty?

Who makes the list? Is it based on performance, salary, tenure, or luck? Which departments are getting hit hardest? Are newer employees safer or more at risk? What's the real business reason behind this? They won't tell us anything, so we're all just guessing and panicking.

I walked away three months ago because I was tired of working sixty-hour weeks. I left my team in a tough spot, but I honestly don’t feel bad about it. I feel great. They created the mess that I kept fixing over and over again, and eventually I got tired of carrying it all on my back. Part of me would still love to see how things are working out for them now that the mule is gone.

I'm trying to prepare myself the best I can. If you've been laid off, what did you notice in the weeks or months before? Did your manager seem distant? Were you left out of meetings? Did your responsibilities shrink without explanation? I'd love to hear any patterns so the rest of us aren't completely blindsided when that meeting invite shows up.

I was laid off last week and I have to say I feel nothing but relief. I was one bad week away from resigning with nothing lined up. Now I get a package and a clean exit. I know not everyone is in the same position, so I hope the others affected are doing alright.

State officials warn that action is needed soon to prevent 5,000 employees from going unpaid.

Hope you survive the upcoming mass layoffs

I was impacted on Thursday and took the rest of the day and Friday off. Will I be expected to work in my normal capacity tomorrow? Not much was communicated to me

I assume it's uncommon to get a raise/promo immediately followed by an LR... On the other hand, aren't these separate decisions often made by different people?

Do the employees who were laid off get paid out on their vestedRSUs and vacation days? There was no reference to it in the payout document I saw

I am not sure of how many will be impacted but June 25th is the date for June layoffs. I hate this for anyone impacted, but brace yourselves and just know if this is not your moment to be affected, give grace to those who were and ready your personal finances.

And all I can feel is relief. Witnessing the slow, steady decline from the company I joined to what it is today wasn't exactly a pleasant experience for someone who actually liked their job and wanted to be good at it. I wish everyone good luck, and may we all end up in companies where work feels worthwhile.

Oracle ate all the RSU’s of laid off employees, cruel employer who didn’t pay for hard work. Oracle recruiters always push for equity compensation to inflate overall total compensation.

Why is elt so narrow minded that they want to make the environment so vile, most talented people quit. And all you're left with is geriatric, brainwashed boomers, or offshore low level talent?

If you want to be #1, don't use the excuse "well Exxon is doing it!". To be first you set your culture and company apart, not the same, mo--ns.

What is the factual info behind the rumor of an August round of layoffs? Is this as a folllow on from investor day / Elliot Management changes?

How many ? Crickets ?
