How do you earn some quick cash when you've already shrunk the workforce? Sell off your Intellectual Property! You have to wonder why they weren't sold to Extreme Networks back in 2017 when Avaya sold off its failing <Ahem... non-core 😂) networking business.

I just read the article in a News that company is about to layoff 200 people in Kosice, Slovakia by July 1. One of the cheapest places to hire people and yet, here we go. No one is sparred, not even cheap labor.
No more RIF for next 8 months from Oracle but expect some performance based layoffs in mid-year. Here are the things you should note
If project is not viable or repetitive, just move on
AI is helpful for you to deliver things quickly but makes you d-mb in outside market. You get into a loop always without reason because AI does the reasoning for you.
Use AI to remain competitive to deliver in project but don't rely on it for ever. Remember management will push AI usage to automate your work completely and stabilize it.
Once project is stabilized you are out of game.
As much as there are reasons to complain and I have a lot of them myself, the flexibility I have working at Dell's data center teams is kind of amazing compared to my counterparts in GCP, OCI, AWS who work 50-80 hours. I mostly average 30 hours a week.
I make less than those guys but it's still six figures. I get to automate a lot since we have windsurf too now.
I'd like to just climb all the way up to Distinguished Eng or at least Staff Eng.
I'm curious if I just keep being technical, would a potential 30 year path work at Dell ?
Most of us are already juggling spouses, kids, parents, mortgages, and a never-ending stream of bills. I hate this job, truly. But I'm not confident I could find another one, especially not fast enough to keep up with everything I have to cover. I don't want my job to be about layoffs, and I don't want my life to be only about this job. But that's where we are, and it's only getting worse. I honestly don't know how to keep managing this.
North America Control. HQ-based employee were told to stay home this week. Such a sad situation for a hard-working group that was already hit hard last year.
Anyone hear anything else?
Are you ready for more layoffs?
This is the way.
Does anyone know if this is true or confirmed?
It is alarming when senior people are leaving TRP and they are leaving because the culture is dying. It started when they brought in Kimberly Johnson (COO) and it has gone progressively worse with leaders like Ramon Richards and Chris LePre. The culture has been replaced with what employees in Tech called the FNMA culture (which is where Kimberly and Ramon have come from). These leaders have no regard for associates and have brought in a culture of divisiness and toxicity. Associates are fearful of losing their jobs and so do not bring up concerns. Bringing up any concerns brands and tarnishes you as a naysayer by these leaders with fragile egos. What is concerning is that the most senior leaders at TRP are aware of this toxic culture but have done nothing about it, most likely because everyone is just too worried about negative outflows. What they need to realize is that if they don't fix the culture (and soon) they will continue to lose talent and the ship will continue to sink and by then it will be too late. There needs to be leadership changes in order to fix this issue.
I saw a linkedin post about a NetSuite SC getting laid off. The slack numbers haven't really dropped below 154K
Does anyone know if AML in Tampa will be seeing layoffs this year?
I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.
Down 12% in two weeks.
But yeah… everything is fine. Just need a few more badge swipes and maybe another “collaboration zone” and we should be good.
Market must’ve missed the memo about culture being built in the office.
Ole SB got $2.2m severance paid out equally over 24 months, plus cash cash ABP bonus and family healthcare for the 24 months. Not too shabby for running a company in the ground.
On April 15, 2026, every file-based Citrix license stops working. The new License Activation Service (LAS) is a cloud-based control mechanism.
No more on-premises static license files - install and forget - but external cloud dependency, connectivity testing, failover validation, etc. In some highly regulated business, it creates an architectural problem requiring more effort.
And LAS does not work with older versions of Citrix products: some big organizations have to upgrade their entire Citrix stack, and install all kind of patchs, sometimes provoking problems of ... license expiration.
I see customers complaining about the lack of support, probably overwhelmed by requests to solve the problems created by this new LAS.
And also customers questioning the costs of this LAS migration, that is imposed to them, for more constraints and no tangible benefit. Mandatory stay on supported versions. Citrix telemetry to verify usage data. Compliance checking. And wondering if the effort to migrate to another platform would not be better.
Sometimes I think that Citrix management is doing all they can to lose customers. Customers layoffs I suppose.
So we are moving back South of the Red River from the great OKC metroplex Me thinks our Execs or running neck and neck with a pile of rocks for being incompetent bo--s. Spend the money to move me to OKC then spend money to move me back to Spring. What a waste and that money should be paid for from their annual bonuses.
Oh and rumor has it that layoffs in Spring are gonna help pay for relo. Make it make sense. What a d-mb timeline for us.
Wonder why CHK and SWN went bankrupt or pink sheet stock. Look at the numb nuts running it.
How is HR or someone at the top think this is a good idea. Several highly tenured employees are being put on 30 plans who have never received warnings or prior poor ratings. If this is the plan to move out employees without paying severance, this should be illegal. #concern #ageism #unethicalHRpractice #values #ethics
Never used to get this, but now it’s every week. GK has got to go.
Good luck all. Doesn't it just make you sick that our CEO got a 30 million bonus but people still keep getting laid off? Makes me feel gross to work for this company.
a working theory but if you work with GCC and the US managers at all you will know how accurate this is.
Step 1- move all or most system knowledge offshore to GCC (infosys)
Step 2- layoff the people on shore that transferred the knowledge to GCC
Step 3- GCC is now only solution to previously US based roles, reinforcing GCC hiring
Step 4- create unnecessary manager and director roles for the US based workers who facilitated the GCC knowledge accumulation (who are almost all from the same country as the GCC, fyi)
Step 5- hire and promote only people from the GCC and keep rewarding the people that manage them and continue to lay off US based Waters employees
Step 6- repeat across the company.
Xerox is in the process of being sold.
Woodlands or Denver? Who’ll be left, reorganized, stressed waiting for the next hit?
Have all the NYC office employees scheduled to be laid off this week been notified?
This is a company that is slowly losing its identity. Rent-A-Center is now forcing their employees into becoming a Amazon drop off hub. This a desperation move to attempt new blood into Rent-A-Center. This means additional responsibilities for employees without any additional pay. So on top of begging clients to buy something, chasing after past due clients that just hide behind their doors, employees are expected to ship out a unrelated companies packages. Is it even Rent-A-Center anymore or just a company on life support?
I worked at Oracle for 15 years in a GBU run by complete clowns. I realized too late that half the people were completely incompetent and they were usually mgmt. so lately a former colleague who also left O years ago told me the stories of some people getting laid off. “He was checked out since 2012…..he was waiting for it for the last 14 years….he didn’t care at all…” “oh, so sad, she got laid off….shes been there so long….i mean…” the first guy, prob hero to most. I def understand it. Now the second person. She was there when I was there. She acted like big stuff. She got roles in cloud and she never even knew anything about cloud or app or even was in the trenches. How did she move up? She was buddy buddy with our horrible mgmt. then she got one of her buddies on the team. Both of them together couldn’t update any Oracle app on their own laptops. I told my former colleague, I have zero empathy for her getting laid off. If she thought the skills and job she did that a 10 yr old could do would last forever, she deserved it. Oracle is different than many companies. Mgmt su-ks and really there literally thousands of people who are hiding. They may have joined via some small company that Oracle took a liking to and purchased and then they’re this “techie”. They’re not. My last 2 managers, Walmart greeters had more technical know how than both of them. Both were a-holes. I have zero sympathy for these people that not only skated but treated people like sh-t as tons and tons of talent left cause of people like her and mgmt. good riddance.
Situation: Layoffs have been occurring almost continually globally for the past period, at least 8 years, possibly much longer. Yet we only here anecdotal information regarding details.
Idea: Instead of just posting here, alert any remaining local media sources in your region about what has happened. Maybe that has already been done. If so, post a link to the article here where others can share on social media. If not, tell the story and if the media is still well-funded enough, may be able to do some investigative reporting. The idea is to get a larger audience aware of the ongoing removal of employees.

Which division under Baker Hughes would you say is the safest from layoffs?
Which division do you think will get hit the hardest?
The company as a whole seems to be in a downsizing strategy? Or do you see some areas with growth/increased hiring?
Once upon a time an employee
In management hogged his or her seat for almost decades.
In times like these , where the stock price is not moving and hovering around at a standstill, why is management still hogging their seats with over 3 years
. There should be a constant annual churn if you are not producing just like our top
Employees were let go in RIF. There has to be a specific management level RIF as well
.
I heard the Command Center and Help Desk departments were recently outsourced before the New Year? And now from seeing this site, it seems that a lot of departments are being slashed? Wow. How is this affecting the day to day operations with the app support and daily prod processing that was always deemed critical?
What you see in news is vastly exaggerated. Cost reduction target is 20% - achieved through head count reduction in high cost countries -us employees took the brunt.
That's it, that's the whole post
Suncor is Laying off people and keep outsourcing jobs to India. recently they hired over 100 people of HCl.
At the Pleasanton office. Every day I am surrounded by self-entitled D-Bags. These people really think they are better than everyone and look down at you. There are also many D-Bags at the Santa Clara office too. Hopefully with continued lay-offs at Pleasanton and Santa Clara Oracle gets rid of more of the D-Bags.
The RAA team is pushing AI as a blue chip goal. Do not be shocked if this leads to layoffs.
Nobody's exactly clinging to this place. A voluntary package would have takers, lots of them.
No surprises. Identical thing happened to Radio Shack, it’s like a rerun of a train wreck in slow motion.
Everyone thought it would be okay.
Didn’t turn out so well. Especially if you had a battery of the month club card. Not good.
