#layoff

Nearly 300 people will be out of a job when a factory in Gaston County closes down later this year.

So, now that the limitations have been lifted, now that we've started minting money, would it be possible for the execs to stop playing games with us and just pay severance pay for the roles they no longer need? They may as well stop to overwork us, make us work insane hours, play games and give us fake write ups just to make us quit. Sooo.... Pay severance and let's part ways.

CSM team has gone through two round of layoffs already (April and November). I heard more to come after the new year. Anyone has any insight on this?

Let's spill the beans. When is the next layoff? Please share only credible date(s).

And was about to do 180 on benefits and treatment of their employees.

Adios.

And these are the people steering the ship. If there is another layoff coming, here’s a bold idea: Start the same “leaders” of these decisions — not the people actually doing the work.
Remove the placeholders, and watch morale (and maybe the stock) bounce back.

Anyone else watching this stock drop like, “Yep… checks out,” considering the same “leaders” (air quotes) who built the perimeter list are still in charge? Only here could tower-only folks get listed to go with a fiber sale while people who’ve never done tower a day in their lives — pure fiber/small-cell — were kept? Made zero sense. It felt less like a workforce plan and more like someone drew names out of a hat, but that work require planning they aren’t capable of so doubting they even did that.

Until then, we’re all just updating our resumes watching them ruin what we worked to build and pretending to be surprised while hoping someone stops it, we have a good business that is profitable once we remove the fake leaders.

can anyone share info?

Just got the cord cut on me last week but only my boss was on the call without HR present. Is this legal?

For the corporate people, has anyone else not received any communication from their manager/hr after the day they were laid off? I feel like HR should have hosted a Q&A or something. I am still doing tasks but it’s mostly crickets from upper management. I am still charging time to the project as I have not been told otherwise. I have also not been told to handover to others what I have been working on.

I’ve had multiple senior leaders confirm this to me over the past couple days casting doubt over their own roles and my own. I know this doesn’t help, but prepare yourselves as best as you can over the course of the next week.

Post any info you have!

At this point CV is polished, will bide my time. Still putting in work but only until something that looks better comes up. Thankful to be on the ship but this place has given and taken so much, the new lack of leadership is literally ki-ling me. Management pushes down to empty suits, No direction given. When you push you get more problems and politics. When performance suffers they blame the little people and give out sh---y pay and reviews. Can’t change anything at my level. Only way to survive mentally is to stop caring.

I noticed that some of the people who were laid off ended up with different end dates, and I'm confused about how that works or what the reason behind it might be.

Notifications went out this morning

3 Arizona employers announced mass layoffs in November 2025

Three employers based in Arizona announced mass layoffs. These significant workforce reductions were made public in November 2025. The news indicates a substantial impact on the job market within the state. While individual company names are not specified in the headline, the collective action is notable. This means numerous employees across Arizona are facing job displacement.

City: Not specified
State: Arizona

3 years ago when I interviewed here I was told very explicitly overtime was optional but apparently I am not meeting expectations because I’m not working enough overtime/holidays?? I guess it’s a wrap for me.

You all can call me “blur”. I was behind the silent layoffs post. Few people just got laid off in content ops. I know that’s just a small update but will release more soon. Feel free to confirm what I said. Nothing I say is a lie. I work for the people. F these corps. See ya later skrrr.

I have sent in my paperwork. There is no phone number to call. Email to alumni@xerox.com goes unanswered.
Can anyone assist.

Not sure if mgmt will attempt to bolster the Q4 results with more layoffs. The October 15-20% cuts will be included in Q4 but the goodwill reporting delays cannot be further delayed.

Insights on plans to capture further headcount reductions in 2025?

I read that when Schwab wants you to quit they start write ups and the compliance team starts questioning your every move even if you are doing nothing wrong.

Eventually Schwab sits you down and asks you to resign or else they mark your licenses.

This feels like blackmail, how should one navigate through this situation and how should one answer probing questions from compliance and management?

LCS here. Pretty nervous about the immediate future outlook for my group. Is the layoff package generally 3 months, or more or less? And if you find a job within that timeframe do you have to pay it back? Wasn’t with XOM back during the covid layoff, so just wondering how it all went back then.

You all the layoffs in 2026 will be brutal
We can all feel it coming
Brace yourself it’s going to be bad

Can you all sense it?

Huntington National Bank to begin layoffs tied to Veritex acquisition
The Business Journals
Mon, 01 Dec 2025 20:25:00 GMT

Huntington National Bank is preparing to begin layoffs as a result of its recent acquisition. These job reductions are directly tied to the integration of Veritex. The process of merging the two companies often results in overlapping roles and redundancies. Affected employees will experience job loss as the bank streamlines its combined operations. This move is part of an effort to optimize the workforce and structure following the acquisition.

Laid off as well, interesting package and settlement. The invite is indeed business update confidential blabla. My manager was so nervous, she had to read the message from her screen.I calmed her down a bit and then the word came out: due to intensive investments and business changes..... All opportunities are blocked, all hiring reqs on hold, maybe until April. It's serious now. O wants to scale down.

What areas are expected to be impacted this week?

First day back from Thanksgiving long weekend. Very nice of you WellsFargo.

Any info with facts about any layoffs in Aconex on various teams?

I can tell already this is going to be another useless "training"...

How much longer before you let employees know that we are being sold to another company...

Is it just the year end rating you get? Or something else too?

More and more contractors are being moved to different recruiting companies that will ultimately be their last stop. Contracts will expire and not be renewed and in some cases will be cancelled outright. If you have had three or more different recruiting companies under your tenure with HP then you will likely be next on the chopping block. Your $100,000 salary will be taken from you and fed into Asia.

Just wondering if those who are declining the VSP they are eligible for have a concern about being laid off involuntarily with less benefits.

I’m ready for it to be over. Knocking out new code this morning. Expected to finish projects, migration, and do hand off. Just friggin fire me at this point. 3 more weeks…

Yeah I know man up. I got ya.

1. Were you given the opportunity to retire, and collect your SERMA if you had one.
2. If you did the retirement route, did you also collect whatever weeks of severance that were being offered at the time.

I'm ready to retire after 30 years. I'd hate to wait for whatever package may be offered only to find out I'd be sc--wed out of my SERMA. I'd rather not pose this question to HR.
Thanks.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• oct01-oct29: 1950 layoffs, 1689 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports, no public info about other locations available)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

LOB and number

Getting laid off feels lousy. But on the upside, I don’t have to dread work tomorrow. Usually on Sunday evenings, I feel a spike of cortisol in anticipation of the coming work week. I’m checking my work calendar to see what meetings I have, making my task list, deciding if I need to commute into the office, etc.

Tomorrow I will sleep late and there’s no need to check the calendar. Like many of you, I have to pound the pavement and look for a new job. There’s work to do in updating my resume and searching the job boards, but I’m also going to make it a point to relax a bit and enjoy the down time. I hope you’re able to do the same.

I work in NJ. I have been Riffed . On salary (and working) until 2/16/2026 plus severance for a lot of weeks. IF I take a job BEFORE 2/16/2025, will I lose MY severance? Someone told me that I will . I have NOT confirmed with HR, yet. Anyone know and is in the same boat? Kind of makes me want to hold off looking for a NEW job!!!!!!!!!!! SO UNfair if true!

As I realize that many people will struggle following the recent layoff round, I can honestly say getting that call was a godsend for me. Im no longer feeling the pressure of unrealistic goals and endless meetings. Fortunately for me, securing a sound financial plan over the past 24 years has made it possible for me to make the best of this RIF. God Bless all of those affected and hopes for a brighter future Post Verizon…

I regret every extra minute and every bit of effort I ever put into this job. Stellar performance meant absolutely nothing in the end. At my next job, if I’m lucky enough to find one anytime soon, I’m becoming the master of coasting.

The pandemic lead companies to hire more employees to take advantage of Federal subsidies to keep employees working to prevent an economic crisis. When the pandemic employment subsidies ended the corporate wealth-fare stopped, companies started shedding employees hired and promoted to pad employment numbers and salaries to get more federal funding wealth-fare. That is why companies offered severances or laid off newly promoted non exempt supervisors and new hires or under performers because the profitable federal employment subsidies dried up.
