Big one in December

If things don’t turn around by the middle of Q3, layoffs are coming. Expect it. Plan for it. The field will be first.

We all know it's coming... any rumors, news?

Anyone else receive a 15-minute Employee Information Session invite from the CPO for November 10, sent to around 400 employees? The subject says “Mandatory Attendance,” but the description says attendance is recommended. Does anyone know if this is related to layoffs, restructuring, or general company updates?

Most of the people are from El Paso location
It’s quite interesting

Does anyone know why on fms there are such low volumes recently? Should we be worried about layoffs?

Schenectady's City Council is struggling to pass the 2027 budget due to disagreements over a property tax increase and a significant deficit. A recent vote to override the state property tax levy limit failed, preventing the council from approving a revised budget that included a 15% tax hike. The city faces a deficit exceeding $14 million and is seeking state aid to avoid substantial layoffs and service cuts. Officials are continuing budget discussions, with potential impacts on city employees and residents hanging in the balance.

Are there any December layoffs? If so when and what roles? What sites? Wondering if they will happen before bonuses?

So when are layoffs coming for remote workers?! Im tierd of thinking about this for a while now. Someone spill the beans! Will everyone thats not near a hub be laid off soon? Like before the end of the year?

1 week out from earnings and vibes feel better than usual on my team. Maybe no big LR?

it goes up, it goes down, the trendline is up. but nowadays, drops coupled with the debt level make me uneasy. growing profits and marketshare is a very slow game and i think they will try to slow things down and stabilize our position in the financial markets but massively cutting people (just like microsoft announced a few days ago).

thoughts? am i off here?

god knows how much by eoy. will it trigger layoffs? payroll shrinking can at least stabilize the drop. dont know and i hope i am not right.

With the chip market taking a dive and possible post election restrictions on datacenter growth, it’s inevitable that Lenovo ISG sales will crater. The only thing keeping them afloat is that they’re the only option when Dell and Supermicro don’t have supply. You can just feel that the higher ups will see this as an opportunity to make very deep headcount cuts soon. Time to update the resume!

Title says it all 🥜

Lots of talk about next week being the big layoff week, but not hearing a ton about which specific departments…. Any idea? There’s so much fat to trim in Plano/purchase and while I don’t want anyone to lose their job, there’s just a lot of do-nothings in the corporate side (I say as someone on the corporate side). I just don’t want frontliners to lose their jobs when there’s obvious cuts in the two HQs. Start with marketing, social media, communications and some of these “project managers” IMO.

Major layoffs and tough times ahead?

I came across a post mentioning that Exposure Management, Cyber Defense, AI Security, and Network Operations roles could be eliminated as part of the restructuring and transformation planned for 2027.

Does this indicate that Verizon is planning to lay off its entire Security team, or is this similar to previous restructuring exercises, where lower-level bands are targeted to reduce headcount while protecting upper management positions?

City employees voiced concerns over potential layoffs during a recent budget hearing. Proposed austerity measures include an 18% property tax increase and a 4% reduction in the city workforce. Union representatives highlighted that vacant positions would exacerbate the impact on remaining staff. Officials are exploring new revenue streams to mitigate job losses. The city is grappling with rising expenses that outpace its income.

Are we thinking early Feb, or late Feb for the notification date?

Will the term date be early April, or early May?

Voters rejected a temporary income tax increase, forcing Toledo city leaders to consider significant budget cuts. The worst-case scenario includes approximately 73 layoffs, with a substantial portion affecting police and fire departments. Other potential reductions involve ending curbside recycling and closing city pools. City Council will review the proposed 2027 budget before making final decisions. These measures are necessary to balance the city's finances.

The AA call just now seems pretty ominous for the folks in apps sales. Looks like y’all are next. Respect and condolences to everyone impacted.

Ithaca College is confronting significant financial challenges, leading to discussions about potential faculty and staff layoffs. The administration is working to address an $8 million fiscal deficit projected by 2027. While a spokesperson confirmed a review of staff positions, they stated that faculty positions are not currently being targeted for elimination. The college has experienced years of financial struggles, a common issue for small liberal arts institutions. This news follows recent leadership turnover and a proposed restructuring of the college's academic schools.

Almost a year out from the layoffs last year around Thanksgiving. When does everyone think the first wave will be?

Still amazed how “americas favorite grocery store” gave the message right before the holidays.

Multiple internal sources confirm a layoff the second week of November. Early next week. Don't plan on working to hard the next few days. What a shameful company this is.

Targets are US support and engineering teams. Managers received the commands today.

Are layoffs still next week?

Every time when people start posting layoffs stuff a severe one is around the corner.

Where? How many?

Should we be preparing for something?

This or next month?

They just said the quiet part out loud! In not so many words she is telling you to start looking for other opportunities. IYKYK

Anyone have a random short meeting pop up for tomorrow?

And if so, which groups?

My team lost a director, project manager, and a devops engineer. All senior. More cuts ongoing through the end of the week allegedly

Can somebody share any details?

A big one is coming

A couple of posts appeared here on Monday stating there were HR meetings with managers that afternoon.

It's two days later. Does anybody have any knowledge on these meetings? Did they indeed happen? Any inside knowledge on what exactly was discussed?

Anyone else hear that there will be layoffs, starting with 2nd shift at the beginning of the year??

Does anybody know something concrete about coming layoffs?
