#layoffrumor

I have it from the highest authority that more layoffs are being planned to make Q4s imaginary numbers look intentional. Iceberg dead ahead!

In COO CAO we were made aware earlier this year if we are not in a hub location we will be let go but they did not say when. Any idea on when that would be? Has anyone experienced this before?

Didn't hear much

Any idea who they are coming for tomorrow and the rest of the week? Any meetings known or calendar invites? Thank you to everyone sharing on this board. I know it’s none of this is easy and we’re all just trying our best here.

I haven't seen anyone in CA affected yet, are there cuts coming to that org?

My department was notified yesterday who was leaving and who was staying. Has anyone heard of there being a second wave of cuts or is it confirmed that once your department has been notified, there will be no more cuts afterwards?

1) we all know more layoffs will keep on happening

2) my theory is that leadership will spare us between Thanksgiving and New Years

So my question is : what are the odds of layoffs over the next 3 weeks till nov 20?

Chime in with your thoughts

Has anyone heard of layoffs? I know that they happen around this time of year, and I’ve heard some whisperings.

Heard from my LL4, Ford will have massive layoffs in next 6 months.
Looks like a big wave..
Anyone??

1:1 scheduled with HR and VP today. 15 minute - important business update. In CB organization.

We survive tomorrow and we're safe?

Word downtown is that Conventional will get hit by end of Nov....too many supervisors anyway that don't add value....good luck everyone

Rumour has it S&SPS if away to be sold off. who noticed some big dogs jumping ship already....

I think we should stop asking whether there will be more cuts at Citi - the question is when and how many. If MSFT is trying to remove close to 30 percent of the workforce, many others will follow...

Be smart. 15,000+ are getting cut this time.

November 12th is probably a good guess. Nothing confirmed but based on how finance does the books for 4th quarter, that is what I am thinking. I could go into more detail as to the why. But I posted that in the past and it makes for a long post.

Cisco is so obvious when layoffs are coming, no invite for beat or beyond the numbers yet. It su-ks, and I wish we had more of an understanding of who gets cut. What grade levels ?

Microsoft offers buyouts to around 60,000 employees to contain costs

https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-is-offering-buyouts-around-60000-employees-business-insider-reports-2026-10-26/

I expect the earning call to go bad tomorrow. Beyond bad. It will bloodshed that will finish off this company. We are all finished! That will be our October Surprise which will lead to December Layoffs!

Heard some hallway conversation today

FIS to offer employees voluntary buyouts ahead of December Layoffs.

Announcements to be made 11/4/2026.

Microsoft is offering up to 60,000 people money to quit on their own. Maybe L3Harris should follow suit and avoid the upcoming layoff,
but, L3 Harris is too cheap so it won’t happen.

What’s everyone hearing?

Has anyone heard a date for November layoffs? Ty

Firstly, I'm a manager in HR, so I'm not always completely in the loop. I wish I was!!!

That said, I still don't think mass layoffs are happening until well after Thanksgiving.

We still don't know the overall structure from the main man himself, JB. And even when that's announced, the people reporting to him will need time to build their own teams and decide who they want.

The earnings call is in about 10 days or so. I can't see them announcing mass layoffs then, although they'll probably say they've got a clearer idea of the direction they're heading in.

I also wonder whether GC is heading for the exit. Co-Chair of TV?!? CBS was supposedly such a priority not that long ago, and now GC is "Co-Chair of TV"?!? I'm not particularly worried about him, though. He and CM made an absolute fortune from their Co-CEO roles before the Skydance take over.

I also think this round of layoffs will be US-only. WBD has so many employees across different countries, and dealing with international redundancies would be a massive undertaking for HR at this stage and take too long to realize the savings.

And given that WBD people seem to be leading pretty much everything, those of us on the Paramount side are probably f**d!

You can all come for me, but I genuinely don't think we'll see any concrete announcements about mass layoffs until early December at the earliest.

Anyway, don't shoot the messenger! I'm just sharing my thoughts based on what I'm seeing. I could be completely wrong!

You hear it here first

Has anyone heard anything regarding layoffs in HQ Corporate Comms yet?

Do we think layoffs will come by the end of October or November?
I heard there will be layoffs

Why? Why in the world would you do that? Are folks really that desperate after being shown the door? What do you think is going to happen if you do it? They'll invite you back? I just don't get it.

How did they notify people in the last round? I wasn't paying attention then because we were safe at the time. That's no longer true, so I'd just like to know what to expect.

Is there even a slim chance this is not layoff related?

I’ve heard rumblings. Does anyone know anything?? Worried about layoffs.

What is the latest news on layoffs, how many and when
