#layoff

Home Depot just had major layoffs. I give it a month before we get a similar announcement.

The fat cat CEO's are earning millions and billions in compensation, while the normal Joe who's making a meager salary gets laid off or hours/pay cut. Time for a universal revolt to overthrow the corrupt capitalist systems embedded through and within government corruption.

I'm so over corporate life. The thought of dealing with another reorg or layoff cycle makes me want to just walk out. I'm seriously thinking about using my skills to start a small business. It'd be crazy hard, but at least I'd be my own boss and in control of the chaos.

Does anyone have an idea the final count of folks impacted across the entire layoff period (October - Jan)?

Dow is planning to cut approximately 4,500 jobs as the chemicals maker places more emphasis on using artificial intelligence and automation in its business.

I'm now thoroughly confused. Is today the main layoff day or not?

Evicore Project Manager axed today.

Please remember this if you’re second-guessing yourself. You were not fired. You were removed because of lousy leadership that can only make itself look good by getting rid of as many people as possible to make the numbers look better. That’s all this is about.

not even sure why i hit my number last quarter. It was a quick three years at Dell..

And those of you laid off are going to be in way better spots and laughing at the decisions being made today by terrible people who are so shortsighted.

The guy's been here for less than a year, but I've gotten to know him pretty well in that time. Before starting here, he was laid off by his previous company and spent nearly six months trying to find another job. He told me how stressed he was during the process, and how he was starting to lose hope when he got an offer from USAA. Now he's been laid off again and I can't even imagine how he's feeling. How do you even explain two layoffs in less than two years to a future employer? He's completely crushed and out of steam.

My supervisor asked in our team chat if any of us were located within 50 miles of Orlando. Does that mean we’re either going to get let go or asked to go back in office?

I know a few people that were recently let go in Boston. Rumored be part of the initial phase of the Lake Mary relocation (they relayed to their manager that they had no interest in moving to Florida and that feedback was cascaded up).

All of them here 10+ years.

3 or 4 years ago they would have been given 6+ months. I think the maximum used to be 52 weeks.

I am hearing they each received full pay to the end of the pay period plus another 4 weeks.

Is this the new policy? Is a quality severance for people with 20+ years officially now gone? Has anyone heard of anyone let go in the last few months that was given a more substantial package?

Just when you think these vultures can't get any lower, they skrewed people out of their hard earned bonus. People worked 11 months of the year, were rated meets, and got the unexpected shaft. So glad I got out of this toxic environment. They will do anything to skrew you. #Toxic #Shaft

It was said that all employees received it but I am a contractor and haven’t received anything. It’s probably safe to assume we’re first on the chopping block when it comes to JE but it’s not like we’d be notified of it.

General Motors confirmed the end of its third shift at the Oshawa assembly plant. This decision results in the layoff of approximately 700 unionized workers. The plant, located in Oshawa, Ontario, produces the Chevrolet Silverado. The automaker had previously postponed this shift cut due to strong demand. U.S. tariffs on Canadian-built vehicles are cited as a contributing factor.

What is going on at Ardmore? I'm hearing that half the staff is going on short term assignment and all the work is being taken by Mexico and China, is Ardmore closing down?

For anyone who mentioned over the past couple of years that they were waiting for a severance package, what’s the plan now? Just curious because I was in the same boat, and honestly, the job market is rough. My current strategy is to switch things up and play the corporate game. Thankfully, I got a meets this year. I did 40% less work, so now I’m planning to step it up and do 20% more than last year, and fingers crossed I can keep that meets.

Let that sink in.

That is correct it’s 16,000 people to be let go.

I’m just frustrated that they keep cutting and cutting roles, to stack responsibility on top of someone else is work load…then decide make you fight for a open role in a “hunger games” like ritual where you go against your colleagues. This whole thing takes a month long mind you. Then if you’re lucky to be the one they picked, poof, restructuring 6 months down the road. Su-ks

Now they are talking about firing, not layoffs anymore. Wellsfargo is super toxic.

Maybe all the downvoting and “you’re crazy” commenting people trolling us will listen. This is easily the 8th time this site has accurately reported when layoffs would occur. It’s not to panic people. It’s to help us prepare. Prepare for transitioning, finances, prepare resumes, start looking at job market. While some may already be doing that, many have a wild fear of change and don’t.

Please let this be your wake up call. You need to be plugged in to your network, expanding it, strengthening it. You need to be touching your resume every couple weeks.

Taro/ Sunphatma - layoffs coming down the pipeline… Never have I ever been at a company where there is no leakage. - Just get it over already!

XOC, Construction and Headend are on the cutting block this time being told immediately to go home and they will be paid till March and start applying. I know CMO and supervisors and below are affected. This one so far seems to be a lot more quiet than the removal of divisions.

My boss told me layoffs are coming

Headwinds ahead

Is anyone hearing that more layoffs are on the horizon because of cheap oil hitting the markets?

lululemon let go of 100 part-time workers who helped answer customer questions by phone, email, and chat.

These workers helped people every day, but the company decided it wants to use only full-time workers for this job instead.

Lululemon says this change will help them do a better job helping customers and make the business run more smoothly.

This is happening while the company is also looking for a new boss and dealing with some disagreements with its founder.

no store closures, just changes to how customer help is done.

TD Cowen had a data center themed analyst letter today that said that Oracle may lay off 20-30,000 people or sell Cerner to keep up with the debt on the data centers it’s building for OpenAI. It also says multiple US banks have pulled back from Oracle data center deals.

Adios Amigos!

Ya'll lapped up the pink Kool-Aid like it was champagne. Ya'll believed Legere when he said TMO would "be job-positive from Day 1" after they gobbled up Sprint. Truth is they started laying off on Day 1.

Mmmm, that pink Kool-Aid seems to be going sour. But, go on to the next all hands meeting and rah rah.

lots of goodbye posts

For those who may not be aware, there was a massive layoff at UHC last Friday in which hundreds of leaders were let go. The layoffs affected employees in Customer Service, Service Account Management, Directors, Business Analysts, Quality, and many other departments.

This was a quiet layoff, but it impacted many people who had been with the company for years. It appears to be part of the new CEO’s focus on restoring profitability after the significant losses following BT’s death.

This week, several sessions were held for those who were laid off, and it was heartbreaking to see so many people who were proud of their work starting the year now forced to search for new jobs. Many of them are young professionals and breadwinners for their families. While some are hoping to secure another internal position to remain with the company, the reality is that very few will be able to do so.

We are in an extremely unstable job market, and this decision has been devastating for hundreds of now-former employees. Be prepared for additional layoffs, as many roles are being sent offshore, and the introduction of AI is expected to eliminate even more positions in 2026.

What is the target reduction?

What locations would you it be? Which functions?

If so what location/ department?

Have another job opportunity elsewhere, just like several of you folks our team is pretty understaffed, and it would be almost impossible to do a knowledge transfer session during my last two weeks. I assume I may get a counter offer, and if the salary is high enough, I’d be okay with staying. Although I’d be concerned that I’d be targeted for the next layoff…. Anyone been in a similar position or any advice?
