Random post, but to anyone wondering/concerned if you don't return your laptop in time or are like me and forgot (for good reason and not on purpose, long story and health issues), I still got my severance pay (shrug emoji). Just realized I still had it and thought I'd share

Does anyone know if layoffs coming this month? Groups or teams impacted??

The GEO Group is closing its Lea County Correctional Facility in New Mexico. This action will result in over 200 employee layoffs and 1,000 inmate transfers. The company chose not to renew its operating contract with the county. New Mexico declined to purchase the facility after fiscal analysis. The facility might be converted into an ICE detention center.

There is an Older Workers Benefits Protection Act (OWBPA) where employees over age 40 are entitled to a 21-day review period and seven-day revocation period for severance agreements.

Would that begin once you get your formalized walking papers? How can there be a deadline to accept the buy-out and its "approximate" info if this is a federal law?

Rumors floating of 15-25% layoff coming.

Been working at the bank several years and my immediate team has had transitions either with new teams joining or leaving multiple times over the past 18 months. Tired of living in constant fear I’ll be next. I’m an analyst so a decently transferable role to another field in P&C or Life, I would think. Thinking of trying for an internal transfer but also worried that’ll put a target on my back if they have to do layoffs. I feel like working in the bank it’s just a matter of time.

I have been here close to 5 years but I feel like my team is on the chopping block and being automated. Some People are getting moved to other teams and red badges let go.
I think eventually blue badges will be let go a couple at a time. Does anyone know if severance is provided for small cuts like one or two people or is severance only for the big LR's that get anounced for a large percent??

AI has been a really really hot topic at the company in the last month. Obviously it’s been a hot topic at the org for a few years now but they seem to really be pushing it extra hard the last month. Got word we are now in a hiring freeze of sorts and any role looking for backfills will now be reevaluated on if AI can take the place of that role. Are we headed towards another big layoff due to “automation” in the next few months? Been saving extra hard lately for fear of not having a job soon. Anyone hear of anything about layoffs soon?

this has to be some reality show at this point, where are the cameras? All you can do is laugh. Who in their right mind will voluntarily raise their hand to be terminated… only to find out volunteering yourself does not gurantee termination. They just did layoffs not even 6 months ago and now this. I would rather them come out and say they are going bankrupt because this is just comical.

Now I’ve seen it all! Clown show

Why does this fool continue to push his lies? Lets flood miss Mornings with Maria who interviewed him and let her know what crumpet man is really doing with firing forced bah employees and falsifying performance ratings to terminate or not pay merit to bah again

I’ve heard that managers don't have input in layoff decisions. Does anyone know who actually decides who gets cut? Is it a Director, VP or is it HR, Finance, or someone else? If manager input isn’t used, what specific criteria do they rely on? Please share if you have firsthand experience.

Who is going to take the heat and lose their job for such a shortsighted decision, Short-term savings, long-term losses, penny wise, dollar foolish or buying cheap leads to losing money (Yasumono-gai no zeni-ushinai) learn that phrase!

Let’s be real nobody’s exactly waking up fired up to work at Dell these days. But with how tight and unpredictable the market is right now, a lot of us are still tethered to our roles whether we like it or not. It’s less about passion at the moment and more about stability, timing, and being smart about the next move.

So we show up, do the work, keep things moving, and stay ready knowing that when the right opportunity comes along, we’ll be in a position to take it.

Hey fellow Vteamers! I am really proud of us for completing our Google AI professional certificates and posting about it on LinkedIn for attention and praise. It’s a monumental achievement in showing to the world that we play to win by completing another company’s training materials! When my kids bring home their participation awards, I show them my AI certificates and we celebrate our accomplishments together. AI unlocks EI and makes us amazing humans. This will save us from layoff risk and differentiate us as superstar thought leaders. Yay team!!!!

Manager warned us in a team meeting that execs are taking RTO extremely seriously, and implied they’re looking for people to layoff because of it

This would be a great thing if we don’t know that 200+ people have to lose their jobs so the bank can afford it.
Really ads insult to injury. Tell an entire department being outsourced overseas then weeks later brag about this partnership.

California based employee, so not gonna interrupt anything while penalties rack up…

But still, I gave 4 weeks notice and helped hire my replacement. It’s kind of insane

Is there layoff happening at Cork site in Ireland this week? What groups are impacted?
