#layoff

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 ?

Layoffs happening soon. Affecting the Care Management team.

Curious to know if the developers / QAs are layoff in this wave. So far I hear Scrum masters and leaders from the unit.

Software engineer laid off some years ago from the firm. I know what it’s like to be laid off, and have interest in offering help to people in my field. I would like to volunteer my contact info for anyone impacted. For obvious reasons, I feel uncomfortable putting my contact info on this forum. Is there a way I can reach out to Fidelity HR to let them know I would be willing to be contacted by software engineers recently impacted by the layoff, so they can send my contact to people impacted?

Thank you.

Hey everyone
I want to know which OU and how many layoffs happened that you are aware off. No rumours - just facts.
I have been ooo for a fair few months - due to personal circumstances. Any information will help me out

But being treated like a human being instead of a soulless number throughout the process shouldn’t be optional.

In fact, I wish I’d left sooner. I stayed because Verizon still had this reputation that made it sound like a career making place to work, and everyone around me kept reinforcing it. Looking back, I spent years putting up with bad leadership and a toxic environment because I thought the name alone made it worth it. The hardest part is realizing how much time I burned before accepting the place had changed a long time ago.

Does PTO get paid out with severance?

I was laid off yesterday, May 7. I am not Frontier. 25 years with VZ... 3 moves for this company... I'm happy. I feel relieved. Good riddance. They think AI can do my job! It's not there yet. They will struggle will all these losses of good people. I will be fine. I am done... I think i will go Uber. Best day of my life ...

Just found out someone I work closely with in legal was let go. Anyone hear anything else or hear about other layoffs?

I am so confused and anxious... Is this layoff wave actually over?
I went through every single thread and what I am seeing is conflicting. People around me including my manager are clueless, rumors and guessing. Here I see that some posters say all impacted employees were already notified and May is done. Others report sameday notifications still happening, “quick catch up” meetings appearing, and leadership is refusing to guarantee no further cuts.... also - multiple posts suggest that phased restructuring will go thru June. Some say September. WTF???

This has left a bad taste in my mouth for Fidelity. I got laid off yesterday, I'm a scrum master in Brokerage, L5. It makes sense to me that I was let go because I was one of the only two scrum masters in my chapter that were L5, nonetheless it was still a kick in the chest to get the news. But, I'm surprised Fidelity announced RTO just last week then this happened. If they were smart they should have announced RTO long before and waited for natural selection to kick in to have people leave on their own terms. But who am I to say?

Good luck to everyone else impacted, I hope you find the good in this as I do as well.

Any chance layoffs spill over into next week?

Can anyone explain why employees are still being required to complete their PDS even though they’re already being laid off in 2026? HR is saying it’s mandatory if an employee doesn’t yet have an official termination date. Honestly, what’s the point of going through this process when performance results won’t matter anymore—unless IOL just wants to rank these employees at the bottom to boost the ratings of those who are staying.

How much time before will I get meeting invitation?
From whom will I get the invitation?
Will I loose access to teams and email instantly?
Any insights on how should I predict I will be laid off with near 90% accuracy.

Does anyone have any inside information on potential layoffs in VBG over the next month or two?

do you think we should get fully vested in a layoff situation? I only have a few months left until my 5-year anniversary, and I see that only 60% of it is vested

Any IT people here who can run a quick compare on number of people in the email directory before and after the cuts? I see number of posts claiming different numbers, execs are silent, instead of spreading rumors maybe we can try to figure out the real number. No, you may argue that the number is internal, but since you can legitimately buy (ZoomInfo, SalesGenie, RocketReach, Lusha, etc.) the entire email roster of pretty much any large US company this argument would not stand ground.

Not much highlighted here, but there was a series of layoffs among engineers and product owners in Atlanta in mid-April

Wait for the email. Stock now in the $8s, thats 1/3 of what it was when he came in, the market has lost all confidence in him.

They are just sorting out the replacement, he will be sending the more family time email to your inbox.

There are no more planned "Events" in the coming weeks and months.

St. Helena Unified School District trustees approved two employee layoffs. The 5-0 vote on Thursday impacts the 2026-27 school year. Melissa Hansen, an executive assistant, and Esperanza Fuentes, an accounting technician, received final notices. A high school guidance counselor, Shawn Garrity, was ultimately spared from layoffs. Declining enrollment and increased costs contributed to the district's financial challenges.

Diversity and Inclusion policies should be about equity, but right now it feels like they are being used as a shield during layoffs. If only men are losing their jobs to maintain 'numbers,' that isn't inclusion—it’s a different kind of bias.

Reaching out to those who were impacted by layoffs last year, especially from non-sales roles.

I understand that employees who were let go in February received 100% of their IBP, and those impacted around September/October received about 75% of their IBP.

Can anyone confirm whether employees who were let go around the June/July timeframe received any IBP payout along with their severance?

Thanks in advance.

Does that sound like a good offer or marching orders?

any news?

I was not laid off but am not happy with layoffs and very sad to see close people leave. I will have a lot of work and be miserable. Can I get a package to leave Fidelity? Could I return later?

Did they say any guidance for the laid off associates, about the need to come to office till end of the month
