Laurel Ridge Treatment Center announced plans to lay off 648 employees. These layoffs will reduce available mental health beds in the community. Bexar County officials fear this will worsen overcrowding at the county jail. The jail already faces issues including overcrowding and staffing shortages. The loss of 310 beds could push more people into the jail system.

Bets on the next layoff:

1. Fall 2026
2. Holiday 2026
3. Spring 2027
4. Summer 2027

My guess is Spring 2027.

Does anyone else work past 40 hrs to get the work done but only log 40? They threaten to PIP or fire if all the work isn’t done EOM, so we’re all working free OT (we are hourly). This is exhausting. I’d rather just be laid off at this point.

To build 100 billion dollar company after more than 50 years ?

To turn a 100 billion dollars company into more than 400 billion dollars less than one year just by laying off workers?

Did anyone hear about any recent layoffs?

On April 28

No layoffs. Just trolls

That's what everyone seems to agree on. Good thing I don't care enough to be stressed about it.

I was hoping for this outcome. I don't have another job lined up, like most of us don't. I'm going to take a break, decompress, and then figure out what's next. Good luck to everyone, especially the real pros and the good people I had the pleasure of working with. My advice to everyone still at Nike is to focus on finding something else. It will not get better around here.

How can you lay off 1400 people and not lay off a single VP in the process. I think that exposes the true purpose of this layoff more than anything else.

Hi all,

I was laid off today and received a link to a box folder for my end of employment documents.

I have my email and password but everytime I login, it asks for a 2FA code. Its been years since I logged in or did anything in personal box account. I dont remember setting up MFA.

So I cannot seem to access/login. Anyone had similar issues ?

One Senior Director was asked to deliver the bad news. He did it.
The day after, he was laid off.
The question is: How can you trust?

Just got displaced. Understand that as an individual I cannot start a new role during this timeframe, but if I have an LLC, then my single-member company gets paid and not me as an individual. Any thoughts? Any useful, constructive thoughts?

Pleasanton City Council recently reviewed the city's financial health. Financial advisors warned of a potential downward shift in conditions. The council halted a plan to eliminate 16 city positions. Officials also voted to terminate City Manager Johnny Huizar. The council will now seek a new city manager and review Huizar's contract.

I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Got laid off last week due to reorg at Gainwell — no notice, just same-day exit. Management changes, no budget, increased pressure on teams, and offshoring made the direction pretty clear in hindsight.

It’s a tough reminder of how quickly things can shift, especially with AI and evolving priorities reshaping the industry.

SKF USA Inc. intends to implement layoffs. These job reductions will occur at its Flowery Branch site. The organization is consolidating certain operations. It is also separating its automotive unit. Most article details remain inaccessible to non-subscribers.

Converge. Sales Kick Off in Vegas. But I am hearing that layoffs will be third week of May which makes no sense at all to fly people to Vegas and then lay them off. But...NetApp has done crazier things...

Any chance somebody knows more about this? Whether it's true or not, among other things?

It's small, but it's happening.

I have been here eleven years and I used to really care about Cisco. I thought it was special. But somewhere along the way, probably around year eight, I just lost it. Now all I want is out. The problem is I can't just quit because I have a mortgage and a kid who is starting college in two years, so I need some kind of package to bridge the gap while I figure out my next move. Every single time there is a rumor about layoffs, I let myself get hopeful. No luck so far, though.

• Brad Jenkins was laid off from his technician job at Intel last year.
• He's been struggling to find work for the last six months.
• Jenkins, who's in his 60s, said the layoff has disrupted his retirement plans.

If people donate to the PAC do you guarantee they don't get RIF'd?

I quit. I got a comparable offer and I just wanted out. My only regret about leaving Fidelity is that I can only quit once. I'd do it every week if I could. Every day. That's how much I've grown to hate this place. I just hope somebody in my team gets to keep their job as a result. I doubt it, but who knows.

Game is gutted once more. 15 minute meeting with your leader and a script read by HR could have been done in bulk. But no. We want to drag this out.

Are we eligible to be compensated if laid off?

Sounds like all departments in both companies have been told the last two levels of Orgs will be settled in late May through June. This means mass layoffs at this time. Curious if anyone is being told different, later in the year etc.

I know some at the Director level are not being retained and are already aware

Are the RIFs really expected to be worse than usual? There’s always some level of reduction in force, but a lot of what’s being said doesn’t seem grounded in anything concrete. It’s hard to imagine them cutting a third of OI or Health with so many active projects underway. I also haven’t heard anything from our controller or VP that would suggest cuts on that scale, nothing. I wonder if they pull names out of a hat…

Any news on when layoffs will start happening again?

Curious how it works if you get laid off while you’re out on PTO. My manager has been very distant for a number of weeks now so I can only assume I’ll be part of the April 30 cut. I took this week off so they don’t lose my PTO but I’m curious would they still call me on Thursday? What if I don’t answer 😅

Do you get notified a day before or does an HR meeting pop up on your calendar in the morning?

I noticed a lot of irrational decisions when I first joined GN&T. We had directors and managers of engineering who had no engineering background whatsoever (no engineering degree and no hands-on experience). They, in turn, would promote people who lacked experience and were clearly unqualified. They would spend a lot of capital on projects with dubious benefits and predictably low return on investment and reject projects with obvious benefits and ROI, etc…

I thought this state of affairs couldn’t last and things would eventually follow a more rational path but I couldn’t have been more wrong so I volunteered to be laid off. Verizon can remain irrational longer than you can remain patient.
