With the announcement this morning that they're sending so many people to the bench at the end of the BID contract on May 18th, I'm fully expecting a layoff of several hundred people shortly thereafter. Time on the bench before getting a lack of work letter hasn't been very long in recent history.
Integration news letter states in the FAQs that org model to be complete at the end of Q2 which "in other cases, the changes may put some roles at risk of being eliminated".
It's time to say the quiet part out loud. Have you ever wondered why upper leadership are so terrible at their roles, have no expertise related to their core functions, and can hardly string together a coherent sentence? It's because they were never qualified to begin with. VPs, Sr. Directors, Directors, etc., they're school mates, college roommates, they attend the same church. That incompetent Associate Director who somehow gets away with doing no work at all? Well, the VP just so happens to be his uncle Dave. Uncle Dave even fashioned the role description with his nephew in mind. The truth is that...you never had a chance.
The recruiters are aligning the resumes of their friends and families to hiring manager specifications, and influencing the hiring decisions. Think you're a perfect fit for the role? Well, so does the recruiter. So much so, that they ensure your resume isn't seen by a hiring manager. It's important for them to quell the competition, after all.
Nepotism and Cronyism aren't new, but have increased in this abysmal job market. If you're not getting interviews, you aren't to blame. If you're making it to the final rounds of interviews but have no luck, it’s because you're being used by the hiring manager to meet an interview quota...they were never genuinely interested in you.
For all you overachievers who are excellent at your roles, your leadership feels the same way—which is precisely why you're being blocked from promotion. They want you to remain right where you are.
So, don't blame yourself. You're not imagining things and you haven't done anything wrong. You are just navigating a system that was never made for you to win. The good managers who support their teams are purged while Incompetence reigns supreme. But don't give up. If VP uncle Dave is trying to squeeze his niece or nephew into that management role...let's not make it easy for him 😉.

A group of R&D managers just got laid off, USA.
Looking at who was let go, I saw some patterns and it was hard for me to see this:
A smaller group of people in critical roles were also let go. This is just my theory and my opinion: They either had a salary hard to justify for what they do, or were hard to work with (or both)
They have been laying off various engineers in software development and electrical/biomedical design teams for a couple weeks now. Not sure when it will be over.
They are also planning on laying off members of various avionics teams.

Ysleta Independent School District faces a significant budget deficit. Superintendent Xavier De La Torre is considering future layoffs for 2027. This possibility stems from declining student enrollment and state funding losses. The district hopes a November tax ratification election will boost revenue. YISD previously offered separation incentives, with 160 teachers accepting.

Portland experienced a significant job decline in 2025. This loss is largely attributed to struggles at Intel and Nike. Intel announced 4,500 layoffs, and Nike announced 740 layoffs. These job cuts stem from internal company decisions and market challenges. The article argues these issues, not local business climate, caused the decline.

More than half of classified layoff notices were rescinded. Contra Costa Community College District officials made this decision. They aim to stabilize the budget and limit employee impact. Specifically, 69 of the 120 initial notices have been withdrawn. However, many employees still face ongoing job uncertainty.

Portland Public Schools faces a $56.3 million budget deficit for the upcoming year. Superintendent Dr. Kimberlee Armstrong proposes 336 full-time employee layoffs, including 180 educators. The district and its teachers union urge the state to tap a $1 billion Education Stability Fund. However, Governor Tina Kotek and the Legislature are not interested in releasing these reserve funds. Declining enrollment, high pension rates, and increasing personnel costs contribute to PPS's budget woes.

Do they even have enough space for everybody at some of these locations? I won't be surprised if they perform a big layoff before or slightly after the rto date.
Who is was better?
My original post was deleted so I’ll filter this one. What counts as a reorg for a layoff?
Half of my group is moving to another manager, but not a BU. The head of my department is losing half of their downloaded. Am I at risk?
They've been telling you all that there are more coming. More outsourcing. More cost cutting.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.
Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.
What is called "layoff estimates" are partially part of normal attrition, limitations are covered in details in comments.
I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

We make so much money so explain why in the world they always letting people go
I was laid off and am told I won’t get the severance doc for over a month.
Ummm…. that makes no sense. So I don’t know if I’m allowed to look for (and take) a job right now or not? Do I have to wait until my “last paycheck” even though I’m literally not an employee.
Surely someone knows a definitive answer to this and/or has a severance doc to read from to find out.
Sitting on my hands waiting until my last paycheck is asinine in my financial situation.
I don’t want to lose my severance but nike has stated they don’t want me working their either so….
How do you drop the best reservoir engineer in the US like that? Feels like a race to last after that move.
Has anyone returned to Intel after the layoff last year? How intensive is the interview process for engineers?
Consider reapplying to Intel because job market is tough
As someone who was let go from another company, here are a couple of things I'd tell my younger self:
You'll feel the urge to state your opinion, and share something like "see, I knew this was going to break!". As someone who actually did this, I only regret my decision of doing so, because it took me longer to move on from being let go.
I have seen d-mb decisions that had to be rolled back later on. I'm sure Nike has done some d-mb stuff that will have to be undone. But, if I were you, stop checking this site if you no longer work here. I've only found helpful to know when these reorgs would happen so I can start prepping my resume/interviews in the event that I am cut off.
have a great one
I just got laid off this morning. They told me there were 300 other people who got laid off. And that my job and all of theirs were going offshore.
The career progression is like this: You work to improve yourself over 25 years in semiconductors. You will become an expert who can resolve all special taks. save money, improve yield and make projects successfull. Everybody is happy, but.....the salary increases over years......Finally they will lay you off because your salary is too high, higher than graduate´s salary. Managment does not understand that what moves the company forward is the technical experties and speed. It is not important anymore, what only matters are cheap incompetent graduates who are asap hired mainly from none technical fields because they are cheaper than graduates from technicial fields. All slows down, projects slow downs or crash, problems remain unresloved, yield is terrible, customers lots..... Well seniors are fired and youner ones cannot cope with it.... Solution? They repeat the same mistakes over and over.....Perhaps the company shall be renamed to "Inferno Hindmalay Semiconductors Technologies GmbH".
Newport Public Schools faces a substantial budget shortfall. The district projects a $2 million deficit for the 2026-2027 school year. Superintendent Jermain indicated that restructuring will likely be necessary. Potential layoffs are also under consideration to address the gap. Structural funding issues and inflation contribute to this financial pressure.
