I’ve been with USB over 20 years and it’s easy to pick up when the vibe is off. These last 5 months or so leadership is turning cold shoulders at all levels. Staying to their own peers, head down in what feels like hush hush strategies. I’m seeing high performing, grandfathered remote colleagues “role eliminated” only to be reopened in a hub. You can feel something afoot and it’s maddening because it almost feels like leaders were told to be just shy of overt in how they are interacting these day. I’m not looking for gripe on the company, I’m looking for others who can share what they are seeing in their departments. Is it the same? What do you know? What have you heard? Cause something is swirling behind the scenes here!

Does anyone feel like they are getting laid off? It's been so weird around here.
Layoffs in Q1 2026?
Thoughts?
Surviving the layoff lottery
Every time the cuts hit, it feels like they're pulling names out of a hat because skills and performance and dedication never seem to matter in the final call. It turns the whole thing into a layoff lottery, and after watching that play out over and over, it's hard to feel motivated to give everything you've got when it clearly doesn't affect who stays or who gets pushed out.
Next L-AI-OFF?
When’s the next round for all those not embracing AI?
Layoff coming Monday
Be prepared, layoff will happen on coming Monday. This is confirmed by vice president of model e, impact will be more in model e and f150 electric
Rumored layoffs before christmas
There are rumors that yet another round of layoffs is coming this year before Christmas. 2025 has been a bloodbath at sunrun and it’s not slowing down at all. Is there any chance this company even survives the next few years?
Big layoffs on 12/9
Everyone in my team is discussing about it. My
Manger is giving warnings.
US IDE Townhall
I just watched the recording and something I noticed was a rather despicable technique.
Kate said that the rumor that there will be another reorg in March isn’t true. And they can’t debunk all rumors. But the only rumor that I have ever heard is there will be massive layoffs next year after P&T is integrated into the businesses. This is a very logical thing to guess they will suddenly have extra people and they may or may not wind up needing or wanting them for their services.
She then proceeded to ask if we wanted another reorg due to all of the rumors about it, which was a “joke” in really poor taste.
Keep in mind that the LT all has media training. I believe that they intentionally debunked a rumor that makes no sense and probably doesn’t exist in order to not address the one that does. This is similar to how politicians these days will say crazy things and then walk back all but 20% of it, and then it turns out that all along their goal was to only get that 20% of bold things done.
Do not trust these people. Weasel words and sus physiognomy and body language. Jokes that serve as confessions.
Another example of this technique of answering a fake question to address a real one that can’t be handled - when asked about the future of US employees, Mark remarked that Shell is dedicated to investing in the region. This doesn’t even answer the question. Spending money the US doesn’t mean it was invested in the employees or that they won’t downsize again. Think critically and be very careful with what they say in town halls. It is literally rehearsed with PR.
Round 2 Early Next Year
I am hearing from leadership and many others that yet another round is coming Q2ish. Has anyone else heard this? We cut some of the most insanely needed departments, what else could we cut?
Was I just headhunted to be my replacement?
I was contacted by a recruiter trying to hire me for a contract position at Optum that would make less than me and sounds a lot like my job now. It’s a position with almost the same name but works with my both my Medicaid care plan and another. I’m always worried about layoffs but should I be super worried?

SMB California layoff?
Did they just layoff a large portion of SMB management and senior management in California (or did they all just quit)? Anyone have details?
So which one are we supposed to fear? Dec or Jan/Feb?
I’ve heard so many different versions of what’s coming and when that I can barely keep track anymore. I know we’re in trouble. It would just be nice to know what’s ahead so we can at least try to prepare.
Everyone in ISG Shanghai let go?
Saw an article that the full ISG team was let go

Heard that WFRs continue on a smaller scale. Any major mass layoffs planned?
Love to see VPs/Sr.Dir/Dirs let go first…will save Veritas tons of $$$$.
Something big is coming
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!
Why would they keep layoffs under wraps?
For once I don't think it's layoffs because they'd be happy to announce that given any opportunity. I'm not sure what it is instead though.
I’ve heard that…..
Go for it friends, tell me what ch’a hearing……..
I’ll start - next round of RIFs coming soon. Another 10k+ to go.
Look at T-Mobile, if they can operate with less people, so can we!

How many layoffs after re:Invent?
Just in time for the holidays!
Good luck next week
If it really is next week. There’s too much chatter for it to be nothing. I’m dreading the worst-case scenario, because it feels like it could be a big one.
More RAs next week?
Happening or not? Any updates?
Are all remotes really getting laid off as early as December?
No exceptions at all? I’m trying to figure out what’s rumor and what’s actually happening, but everything I’m hearing sounds pretty bleak.
Layoffs before Christmas?
As November ends and December begins, what are the odds of more layoffs before Christmas?
Management’s cruelty knows no bounds and they have terminated people with an effective day of Christmas Day before. They have ruined lives and enjoy doing so. Hence I don’t put anything past this evil mob.
Has anyone noticed
The information and accuracy of the posts on this site have really deteriorated. The information on layoffs has been wrong as have most of the other predictions. Did we lose our insiders? Feels like most of the posts are not even employees just people spinning up stories.
