#layoffrumor

It feels like we are all just waiting for the next announcement, and the silence is not exactly reassuring.

What's going on today? Security hanging out in work areas. This only happens when people are being let go

Why March 3rd?

That would be a welcome change in stress levels for us lowly folks.

The rumor on the street is that Germany will be hit with a 30% reduction in force. Can someone local or from EMEA confirm?

ECS newsletter, "as we move forward into this next chapter".... what gives? Are we next?

Heard huge layoffs in various fraud departments are coming 3/3. Apparently they're using a new location strategy as an excuse.

Is town hall related to meetings intimating layoff

What did I miss?

Did anyone hear of layoffs in Optum for tomorrow 2/26? Just had a 15 min meeting invite added to my calendar for tomorrow morning.

Heard of a few people being let go. Just wondering if there was a big layoff or only about 5 to 10 people.

It’s getting to be that time again. I’ve been hearing rumblings about layoffs coming next month… any news?

Anyone else heard about RIF notifications tomorrow?

Hearing rumors of layoffs in S&T next week? Can anyone validate?

Any upcoming layoffs In Texas?

hearing there are layoffs today. anybody confirm?

Should we expect more layoffs? Has anyone heard anything?

Are layoffs happening as frequent with the UHH/C folks or is it primarily only Optum? Their layoff boards don’t have nearly as much noise as this one.

Will layoffs definitely happen 2/26? Is this the last round for the “2,000 employees”? Does anyone have any insight on which areas?

I hate waiting around knowing if I’m next. No one communicates anything and it’s just a horrible feeling. How are we supposed to get work done knowing we could be next?

Are you hearing anything?

Does anyone know what’s going on today? Executives are all onsite and leaders have hinted to fires going on

Anyone have any info?

Can someone describe what the process is for deciding which round you are a part of for the layoffs? I know I was marked because of what I was linked to workwise and sus behavior this year, but what determines what wave you are a part of? I have nothing to do and not sure why I am still here with nothing to do.

I hope we're done with layoffs, at least for now. I need a breather, or I'm going to fall apart.

Does anyone know any details?

I sure hope it isn't true, because the job market where I am is shrinking rapidly.

Xbox has new leaders today, now that Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are out — and you’d be forgiven for assuming that means yet another round of layoffs and shuttered studios, especially one day after Sony jettisoned a beloved developer.

This Thursday is the end of a pay cycle that will get folks off the books before the end of the quarter. What do you think? End of month RIF or April fools?

Which org/department is in the spotlight this week?

Anyone know with certainty? Any details?

Is there any possibility to not announcing layoff this month and pushing it to Q2

We're 90% through, and the last 10% could happen anytime between now and forever, just to keep us on edge? Sigh.

Any new layoffs in 2026?
