Hearing mutters about layoffs the week before thanksgiving. Anyone have insight on what roles may be impacted? Definitely unnerving news to get right before the holidays, but not totally unexpected..
I am considering a job in IT. But I also heard that there were several layoffs already in 2026, and more to come because of some unsavory executives in Informatics and ESI. Also heard that IT will be outsourced and some California hospitals will be sold.
Is this a good work place to come into?
Got wind of a rumor that there is another massive round of lay offs coming to Gore.
Any leader that is more than 6 degrees or levels (even though Gore "doesn't have levels") away from Brett Snyder is going to be cut.
They are also refusing to backfill important roles and just piling on their work to other associates.
This messaging is extremely weird considering they just gave a profit share check out - which implies we are exceeding expectations.
S&T impacts this week?
Winner gets a commemorative 8086 CPU.
I’m taking this to mean Plano R&D will be impacted, and “who” will be known by Dec 10.
Is Grade 6 - 8 non technical at risk for the next LR
Don’t say “everyone is at risk” , I’m trying to understand who is targeted the most
Any word on potential November or December layoffs? Dates? Roles? Departments?
Heard whispers about November or December
InfoSys is planning massive layoffs at InfoSys Brno at the beginning of 2027.
Source: I am in possession of a few confidential emails where they suggest this solution in Brno...
Too much dead weight
Heads up. I have heard rumors of a massive layoff happening in the in mid November of around 400 people and then another on in the early part of 2027.
There will be an other layoffs after next Monday likely in January. BCG will be on site in December.
In Sales org. Probably mostly hitting marketing after the merger earlier this year. Never made any sense. Only point was to destroy marketing which they’ll now do. I’ve heard US and for once I’ve heard india is targeted too. Emea probably in the new year. Happy holidays from IBM.
Is any body else concerned about the 7.9% YOY decline in Ford vehicle sales and 10.9% YOY decline in Lincoln sales? If vehicles aren’t selling, jobs will be eliminated.
Seventy-three jobs are at risk at Morrison Child & Family Services due to pending federal grants. These grants support crucial programs for migrant children in federal custody. The nonprofit filed a WARN notice indicating potential layoffs on December 31st if the grants are not renewed. If the funding ceases, the affected programs will permanently close. This situation highlights the precarious funding of services for vulnerable youth.

We all got the email and I know this is a d-mb question but what Band levels do you all think will be most affected? Some say middle management should worry, others argue it’s going to be the regular workers (Band 1 and 2) this time. I theorize it will be a mix of everyone.
Can someone with real info explain how layoffs work and what the likelihood of a November layoff is? I understand the stock price is dropping, but in the context of other tech stocks, it’s really not dropping that much. Also, aren’t these things planned ahead of time? They can’t just causally plan an LR right when the stock drops
The headline is the post. More pain coming.
https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00100321/
The official Federal Election Commission (FEC) data for the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. PAC (ID: C00100321) maps out the financial mechanics of how the defense giant attempted to purchase political influence during the 2025–2026 election cycle.
However, looking at the strict financial delta between what the PAC raised and what it spent, these figures reveal a massive, defensive cash drain that could act as a direct catalyst for internal cost-cutting and workforce layoffs in 2027.
The FEC Financial Breakdown (Jan 1, 2025 – Oct 14, 2026)
Total Receipts (Money In): $1,875,000.56, heavily driven by itemized individual contributions from L3Harris executives and high-level managers ($1,510,903.28).
Total Disbursements (Money Out): $2,297,030.00, representing direct campaign contributions to politicians and other political action committees ($2,236,600.00).
The Deficit: The PAC ran a severe deficit of -$422,029.44, outspending its fundraising baseline to aggressively lobby both sides of the aisle before the midterms.
Cash On Hand: Due to this aggressive spending, the PAC's cash reserves dropped from $1.59 million at the start of 2025 down to $1,175,326.09 right before the elections.
How this Deficit and Corporate Strategy Lead to Layoffs
While PAC money is technically separate from operational corporate revenue, the deficit and the contribution patterns point to an impending operational squeeze:
The FEC data shows that $1.51 million came directly out of the pockets of itemized individual L3Harris employees (mostly C-suite executives, vice presidents, and division directors).
The Squeeze: Corporate leadership frequently exerts immense internal pressure on upper and middle management to contribute to the corporate PAC to protect the company's contract pipeline.
The Resulting Exodus: When middle managers are being financially squeezed to support a PAC that is running a half-million-dollar deficit, while simultaneously navigating a toxic post-Kubasik corporate culture, the incentive to leave spikes. High-performing program directors will execute a defensive talent exodus to commercial tech companies where they don't face mandatory political tithing.
The fact that the PAC burned through an extra $422,000 to heavily influence committee members means L3Harris was playing a desperate defensive game. Now that Democrats have successfully flipped control of the House of Representatives, much of the money spent courting specific panels is entirely wasted.
The Layoff Trigger: Incoming Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith and Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia do not have to respect the lobbying pipeline of a company currently undergoing multi-million dollar DOJ fraud investigations. If the newly empowered committees freeze or audit the private-equity backed modernization programs L3Harris bought access to, those specific software and systems engineering teams will be laid off because their billable project codes will vanish.
To cover the PAC's aggressive spending and cushion the blow of the $84 million in combined DOJ settlements and the $80 million Kubasik exit package, new CEO Sam Mehta must preserve the company's cash flow.
When a corporation is leaking cash across its legal defense funds, executive payouts, and political lobbying arms, it balances the ledger by cutting labor overhead. Non-essential administrative staff, corporate recruiters, marketing units, and middle-management layers will be targeted for structural layoffs to offset these compounding institutional deficits.
Is there anyone who knows the number of workers they plan to layoff? Specifically in the nurse case management departments? Our leaderships vagueness while simultaneously pushing this will be a broad/large layoff is concerning. CM is eternally behind and cannot handle the volume of referrals appropriately as is and that is not something AI can fix no matter how big the investment. People have more complex diagnoses than ever and need clinically educated human support to navigate them.
What does everyone realistically think is going to happen with K-12 after this reorg? At this point, layoffs feel inevitable. Leaders are leaving left and right, morale is tanking, and employees are being left to wonder whether they'll even have jobs. Meanwhile, leadership seems to keep making sweeping decisions without fully considering the fallout for the people actually keeping this company running. The lack of transparency is only making things worse. People are frustrated, exhausted, and genuinely scared for their livelihoods.
Is there actually a plan here, or are we watching things unravel in real time? Curious what everyone thinks comes next.
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/heres-6-investigative-priorities-and-the-3-tech-giants-on-dems-trump-probe-hit-list/
When mapped directly onto L3Harris's current vulnerabilities, these 6 priorities provide a clear financial and psychological explanation for why layoffs and employee resignations could accelerate:
The Pentagon Contract Target (#3): Because L3Harris is explicitly designated as a top player in the Pentagon's fast-tracked equity investment strategies, it sits directly in the crosshairs of the "Pentagon Contracts" investigation category. If Congress freezes or delays funding for these heavily audited modernization streams, the lack of billable hours will force immediate project-based layoffs.
The Foreign Government Crosshair (#4): L3Harris's highly controversial $934 million Qatari 747 modification contract lands perfectly at the intersection of "Foreign Government Dealings," "Pentagon Contracts," and "Favorable Treatment" (due to the aircraft being a gift to the President). With Democrats using their new subpoena power to investigate how funds were diverted for this luxury retrofit, the freezing of subsequent maintenance contracts will render the attached aviation modification teams completely redundant.
The Border Security/Detention Alignment (#5): While the article explicitly names "private-prison corporations" as primary targets, L3Harris is adjacent to this category due to the DHS data leak exposing its bids for ICE detention and tracking technology. Being publicly pulled into hearings investigating the machinery of federal immigration enforcement creates a toxic branding problem, driving a defensive exodus of high-performing software engineers and cyber specialists who want to protect their resumes from political contamination.
The Margin Squeeze: Defending a corporation against multi-committee congressional subpoenas is incredibly expensive. As white-shoe law firms drain corporate cash to manage these high-profile probes, and with the company already absorbing $84 million in recent DOJ fraud settlements, CEO Sam Mehta will be forced to protect shareholder value by aggressively cutting corporate overhead triggering administrative and non-technical workforce layoffs.
Massive RAs beginninb of 2027...
20% headcount cut
Some people were let go in the new structure. Still no vision, what sticks to the wall in 2027. Rumors abound some more restructuring coming in early 2027
If you get a meeting for the 17th, you know why.
Get the popcorn ready.
When do you think they are going to start letting all the remote go?
All at once or in waves to avoid bad press?
I really think she handled that poorly and the way it was presented was short sighted. Why would you say something like that and then expect your remote or even hybrid workforce to even care about their jobs anymore.
Four weekly newspapers in south King County are consolidating into a single publication called the South King Reporter. This merger, announced by Carpenter Media Group, signifies the loss of a fifth of the region's printed local papers. Experts predict that layoffs for reporters and staff are highly probable following this consolidation. The company cited rising publishing costs and a shift in reader habits towards digital news as reasons for the merger. This move is part of a broader national trend of local news outlets facing financial pressures.

Get ready folks . More layoffs coming
Disney Entertainment Television is preparing for significant layoffs as part of a company-wide restructuring. Managers have been given targets for cost savings, with some aiming for a 20% reduction. These cuts are expected to be intertwined with a reorganization led by Chairman Debra OConnell, likely beginning in early 2027. The TV networks division is anticipated to be heavily impacted due to a strategic shift away from the declining linear TV business. This move follows previous reductions and a recent sale of a stake in A+E Global Media.
