This all goes away when

Maura is ousted. Abby acquiescing for Maura and her massive budget being tax revenue forcing us to be cattle going to sla-ghter.
This FT RTO is a joke.
Productivity is going to go down people are late leaving early because we all have obligations with family children pets it was better wfh because we turned on our laptop right on time instead of sitting in traffic looking for parking getting gasoline trains trolley delays.
Maura needs to go we can’t afford this Abby needed to bring us in for tax revenue. Such a pig. Vote Minouge get us out of this he-l hole.


I came here for layoff rumors

I came here for layoff rumors and somehow left with an MBA.

In 10 minutes I learned how to fix the culture, reorganize PEPNA, merge with KDP, fix AFH, outsmart McKinsey, and develop a new corporate strategy.

I’ve also picked up some golf lessons and apparently learned how to clean sh-t up in bathroom stalls.

At this point, this isn’t a layoff site. It’s LinkedIn, Harvard Business School, Golf Digest and the janitorial training manual all rolled into one.

Just waiting for somebody to post the 2027 operating plan and we should be good


Layoff Schedule

20k is the number. Around 15%. Will be announced on the earnings call Thursday along with a major announcement regarding the future of Comcast. I personally hope it’s Roberts stepping down. Monday will be the first people notification and official separation begins on 10/29. I am a former VP in CB.


How do people actually handle giving notice these days?

I just accepted an offer and I’m set to start in mid-November, but I’m seriously debating what, if anything, I owe my current manager. I’ve heard this place has a habit of cutting people loose the moment they say they’re leaving, so giving two full weeks feels risky. Part of me thinks that if they wouldn’t hesitate to walk me out early, then they haven’t really earned that courtesy. Right now I’m leaning toward just a few days’ notice and protecting myself instead.


Month five of unemployment

I’m mentally drained. Being laid off hit me hard but I thought I had enough skills to land a new job within a month or two. I was so wrong. I’m not even sure what I’m doing to be rejected every single time. Now I’m at the point where I'm assuming in advance I won’t get the job even when I’m doing interviews, because that’s exactly what’s been happening. I’m so tired and scared.


Share your looming layoffs insights/observations

While I don't expect direct/first-hand knowledge shared here, I wanted to see if others have more concrete examples of potential upcoming layoffs beyond just speculation and "I heard..." echo chambers.

As for me, I know of one VP whose calendar is not private. Last week they had an event on their calendar called "[Department] Talent Review". The meeting included a group of VPs, their C-level boss, and someone from HR.

Hard to misinterpret that one...


Unimotor Production Shift Sparks Layoff Concerns

Unimotor is set to reduce production at its St. Thomas facility. A significant portion of this work will be relocated to Mexico. This move is attributed to global competitiveness and market pressures, not tariffs. The exact number of affected employees remains undisclosed. Approximately 90 individuals are currently employed at the plant.

Toronto Job Seekers Hike for Support

A new group in Toronto is helping individuals navigate job loss through weekly hikes. Founder Tony Zhang, who was laid off from Meta, was inspired by a similar initiative in California. The Toronto Layoff Hiking Group provides a space for people to connect and share experiences outside of traditional employment. Members discuss their career changes, hobbies, and future aspirations during these outings. This initiative offers a unique form of support amidst widespread layoffs in Canada.

October 29th RIF?

These have been the 4Q layoff dates the past few years:
Thursday, October 26, 2023
Thursday, October 17, 2024
Thursday, October 30, 2025

Will Thursday, October, 29, 2026 be the next big one?


Who makes the layoff list

I'm a Director (level 13) and have had absolutely no inclusion/participation in anything RIF/layoff related. Weeks ago were asked by our VP boss to give very brief rundown of what each of our direct reports was working on. That was it.

I don't know if one of my direct reports is getting laid off until they actually are.

Found this buried in an older thread's replies, I thought more people should read this, as this question gets asked a lot. The OP is @e2+1m2gtzksc.


Severance has been shrinking over the years

I'm now at the point where I'm hoping to be cut now, to avoid an even smaller package down the road. I used to hope not to be laid off, but the way we're going, it's only a matter of time for those of us of a certain age, so now I've pivoted to just hoping to get the best deal out of it. Sad but that's our new reality.


Mosaic Halts Florida Operations Amid Sulfur Shortage

The affected workers will receive 60 days' notice as per federal regulations. Operations are expected to cease for over six months. Union leaders have been informed of the impending job reductions.

Do not share any political views on LinkedIn

I am one of those who have advanced career after being laid off from Q. My sincere advice to those finding jobs is that never post, share, or like any LinkedIn posts associated with politics. Those who review your cases are much more diverse than you think. Act smartly and remove any such footprints from your account. Sad to see that a junior candidate for my team was not given a chance due to this foolish mistake.
