Cape Breton University announced job cuts and tuition increases. This comes amid significant enrollment pressures and revenue loss. The university expects a $77 million revenue loss over three years.

Agropur announced the closure of its Sussex-area plant. The facility is scheduled to cease operations in 2028. This decision came months after the company received a significant provincial loan. The $2.4-million non-repayable loan was intended for modernizing Agropur's Miramichi facility. Critics suggest the province should have been informed about the impending layoffs before the loan agreement.

The University of Texas at Arlington has laid off 49 employees. These layoffs occurred since June 1, 2025, across 14 departments. Financial strain from federal funding cuts and fewer international students contributed to the decision. A statewide tuition freeze also impacted university revenue.

Does anyone on here NOT want to be laid off? Seems like most everyone i work with WANTS to be, including me. It's kind of funny in a twisted way how we always joke around about it.

This information was confirmed by someone in the know. Anyone heard of other BUs doing layoffs or it will only be PI?

Got laid off today from Gainwell due to badge/rebadging, offshore changes, AI implementation, and poor management decisions.
Multiple accounts were affected, with around 50 people laid off the same day.
No prior notice — it all happened immediately.
Frustrating situation, but I’m staying focused on what’s next.
If you know of any opportunities, I’d really appreciate a referral.

What is the last date HR provide? Last working day or last day of employment (post garden leave). If someone couldn't convey that their layoff news while interview process (because of the lengthy process,also sometimes it started long ago before layoff, also was not asked initially) will the new hire get to know about the layoff (assumingit would have negative impact and would be seen as hiding)?

Verizon has (Never) in its' history done a layoff in June.

Normally, a Verizon layoff happens each year during April, and/or October.

If it does (actually) happen, May 7th would be the date; mentioned in the other post.

First, I understand your feelings. I got let go from a different company several years ago and it never feels good. Even though it's usually not personal it always FEELS personal. Especially when you think about all your contributions over the years. Feelings like, "How could they let ME go after everything I've done, all the long work days, all the good performance evals and kudos, etc.!" Being upset is a normal reaction and no one should attempt to invalidate such feelings.

With all that being true, it's also important to not lose sight of the big picture. What's that big picture? All of us are on this planet for - in the span of human existence - no more than a micro-second. And unless you're very famous when you depart this planet, within just three generations almost no one is likely to remember you ever existed. The point? In the grand scheme of things...none of it really matters.

Was there any extended medical coverage included?

Does anyone know when ICs from lead down will get the layoff email invite ?

Based on Friday it sounded they they were going top/down and focusing on Sr. Dir. is today still targeting upper leadership or free for all ?

Don’t care either way and I will be more relieved if I get laid off at this point.

I've been through a number of layoff rounds here and the pattern's always the same. Pull the salary report. Highlight everyone above a certain number. That's the core group. Then grab a few lower paid people from different teams so the demographics look balanced. It's not about performance. It's never been about performance.

Sorry to be insensitive and sorry if you’ve been let go. I think I’m next on the chopping block. I was wondering what does the severance package look like ?

Please drop any WellMed RIFs here!

If you are a bank employee, either get to the office close to 9am local time or get ready to be escorted out by being in the office early. Notice period is tomorrow.

You moved me to Portland offering tons of cash and laid me off, putting me in a flooded market and I have yet to recover. Two years in and i am wondering if my career is over while I can’t find a job and watch you squeezing out talent and promoting the worst of the worst for taste level and vision.

Coming to Nike ruined my dreams, my career trajectory, my finances, and my hopes for a family.

You deserve what comes. I hope it’s worse than Nokia.

For too long useless management employees have been su-kling the te-t of AT&T, fattening themselves off of the milk of other’s labor. Let the layoffs begin so we can maximize revenue per employee and become a market based culture where you have to compete for your position and earnings in the company.

PHK stands for Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja, which means termination of employment or layoff in Indonesia. It signifies the official end of a working relationship between an employer and an employee, often due to company cost-cutting, restructuring, or closures, particularly in sectors like manufacturing and tech.

Then I ended up with a better job, better pay, and a much healthier view of work. You’re going to be okay.

I’m writing this because a few months ago I was the person doom-scrolling this forum at 2:00 a.m., searching for some stranger to tell me my life wasn’t over. So here it is: your life is not over.

When I got laid off, I felt embarrassed, angry, and lost. People kept saying it’s not personal, but it felt personal when the job I’d built part of my identity around was suddenly gone.

For a few days, I completely spiraled. Then I got practical. I figured out my money situation first. Put down everything on paper, including severance, savings, bills, unemployment, everything. Once I knew my actual runway, I stopped panicking as much. Then I started reaching out to people. Former coworkers, old managers, friends, vendors, anyone I trusted. I simply said I’d been impacted by layoffs and was looking for roles in my field.

Amd people showed up for me. A former coworker referred me and an old manager offered to be a reference. Another friend helped clean up my resume. At first I applied everywhere, which was a mistake because it just made me feel rejected faster. So I narrowed it down to roles I actually wanted, roles I was qualified for, and a few backup options.

In interviews, I would say something like how my role was eliminated as part of a broader restructuring, how I’m proud of the work I did at Nike, and I’m looking for a place where I can bring that experience into a role with strong growth and stability.
Eventually, I got an offer that was okay, but I still had interviews moving, so I waited. Two weeks later, I got a better offer: higher pay, better title, and a healthier environment.

The biggest lesson I learned is that I had confused being at a famous company with being in the right job. Nike looked great on my resume, and I’m proud of the work I did there, as bad as the place has become in recent years. But the layoff reminded me that no company, no matter how iconic, is your safety net.

So if you just got laid off: breathe. You’re allowed to be scared. But don’t let the layoff convince you that you’re done. Update your resume. Tell people. Ask for help. Apply carefully. Keep interviewing. And don’t take the first bad offer just because you’re hurt.
I didn’t choose to get laid off. But I did choose what happened next and I ended up better off.

The ATSC area impacted does a lot of the ASC fixes. Smart move!

Seeing admins and Senior Directors getting their accounts deactivated in real time who are based at PHK... so conversations are definitely happening. Exit convos should go through next Tuesday then org shifts after. Super sad!
