#layoffs

I'm dreading the coming week. Losing the literal backbone of our team has made it impossible to keep up, and everyone around me is struggling too. Work was stressful before, now it's three times worse. And you know what happens if we don't perform? That becomes the excuse to cut us next. If results actually mattered, maybe they'd have thought harder about who they let walk.

Any hint at the date for this round?

I don't think either FIS or Cognizant, if I end up rebadged in the next round, will see any serious work from me.

Kyndryl has become top heavy. Each week, some new executive joins to “transform” and bring “thought leadership” while laying off highly technical hands on keyboard skills.

Came here to check for layoff updates, ran into this post. Bumping it up for visibility.

It's not even just Verizon anymore. I'm done, period. Been here too long. I can barely drag myself into the office these days. I need out. And I'm willing to take the risk in this market. I'll survive a few months, the big financial stuff is behind me. Mortgage done, kid almost done with school. I can afford to coast for a bit. Frankly, I never want to hear the name Verizon again after this.

I'm always worried about going back to work on Monday. Always wonder if this is the RIF week. I can't be the only person feeling this way.

For six long weeks, the air’s been thin,
A waiting game where no one wins.
From Calgary’s frost to the Houston heat,
The sound of shadows on every street.
We’ve scanned the halls and watched the clock,
Waiting for the final, heavy knock.
They speak of "assets," "reorgs," and "flow,"
But forget the people who made the thing go.
In Denver, the Woodlands, and Permian dust,
It’s hard to find a place left to trust.
The "sinking ship" is the story they tell,
While we’re the ones ringing the warning bell.
But listen close through the fog and the fear:
The value you hold isn’t what’s written here.
A title is ink, and a badge is just plastic,
The toll on your spirit has been truly drastic—
But you are the talent, the heart, and the spark,
You are the light that survives in the dark.
Tuesday will come, and Wednesday will go,
The dust will settle, the bitter winds blow.
But whether you’re staying or finding the gate,
You are the pilot, the master of fate.
This office is just a place where you stood,
It doesn’t define what is "great" or is "good."
So look at your neighbor, give 'em a hand,
Help each other find a place left to land.
The logo might fade, and the building might fall,
But your human spirit is bigger than it all.
There is life after Wednesday, a sky clear and wide,
And a much better world on the other side.

The team in Dearborn apparently held a meeting and believe that everything being done in California is mere smoke and mirrors, a dog and pony show. They have also questioned the cost-value relationship of skunkworks. Recently, some consultants visited and essentially stated that every innovation from the team was merely a rehash of ideas from other companies. They suggested that the internal team could have easily accomplished the same thing at a lower cost with more realistic assumptions resulting in higher return for the company.

The Bently Nevada division has already gone through multiple layoffs in 2026. It’s all about making sure the almighty EBITA is good and no longer focusing on making sure the client is being taken care of.

The sales team is shrinking without backfilling roles. When a rep leaves all of their clients and spread out under another sales rep. Increased responsibility with no increase in pay.

Technical Account Managers are being laid off without being replaced. The remaining Technical Account Managers are spread so thin that no one has the bandwidth to fully support the sales reps.

There are also less Sales Directors now. Instead of backfilling the roles reps are just spread out amount the other directors. Each Sales Director has too many reps to be responsible for now.

Quotas have been unrealistically increased and the bonus structure has become even more difficult to reach your 100% pay.

Company is trying to become a software company and has put all of its eggs into the “cordant” basket even though the hardware is the meat and butter of the business.

All of this happening despite the fact that we break record numbers in sales every year. Overall team morale is the lowest I have ever seen and I have been with the company many years now.

Finance notification dates below. Off payroll date depends on your State.

April 24 - Band 5
May 7 - Staff

Lists of folks have already been submitted.

Heard there is another round of consultant survey by Mars Company right now. And there are proposals of significant headcount right sizing. Any news about the target groups ?

I’m seeing an increase in LinkedIn posts of people leaving within the last week or so. Not just a couple here and there, but at least ten. Anyone hearing rumblings of anything?… just a coincidence perhaps?

Sewani. Oliveira. Sykes. Birrell. Flores. Your times up and no one will touch you.

March it was $215

Now it is $179.49

My non working period got over last month..but still didn't receive severance, anyone knows how many days does it take in Canada?

A superior brand of long ago - now dead

Group, I should have been more aware of my demise by reading this forum for the past couple of years. I should have put on my clown shoes a few years ago and sat on the plank of the dunk tank as you all would have saved the company at 10 quid a toss. Anyone out there have a good number to call HR so I can get my golden parachute? It's so tough to get an audience with someone who can help. Best regards, Bandy

We've hit the point where cutting your way to a higher stock price no longer works. The cracks are showing, reality is finally catching up.

From truly enjoying my work here years ago, to all the stress from waves of layoffs throughout the decline, now I've reached the point where I have no hope that Nike will ever again be a great company to work for, and I'm looking forward to being on the next list. I've been here too long to cut the cord easily, so the sooner they make that decision for me, the better.

Here’s our estimates on Walmart layoff activity for the next several months based on data we’ve collected. Some dates are specific and some are general. That’s due to business intelligence that either stands out, or, doesn’t stand out.

Here’s some facts that drive our estimates this time:

• April through August are traditionally high layoff times for Walmart
• Imbedded quiet days in April/May to allow for Q1 End, Q1 Reporting and Memorial Day.
• Project and budget reviews reveal considerable expense and capital saving opportunities do exist
• New capital projects to support AI are under consideration, including some eye popping infrastructure projects. All these projects will need to be funded
• There’s a considerable amount of tech outsourcing available (at favorable rates) to assume and run current systems
• Renewed focus on removing shadow IT projects and resources across the enterprise

Here’s our take on dates:

• [ ] 4/13 thru 4/28 increases to 70% likelihood of layoffs
• [ ] 5/6 thru 6/25 100% likelihood
• [ ] 6/30 thru 7/28 90% likelihood
• [ ] 8/4 thru 8/27 90% likelihood

Don’t agree? Tell us why.

In IL only 5 offices will be left. I cannot say which 5.
Customer Service has 3 waves, that will last to end of Q3.
All other states, likely main HQ will remain.

AI is just the excuse they hide behind, ridiculous as it may sound.

Jon Freier, Mike Katz, Deanne King, Jeff Simon, and of course, that loser at the top of the company.

I received a Workday notification stating my total compensation is reduced by x amount.

Is this really happening

Are layoffs still happening this month?

I know it's tempting, but IT jobs aren't as plentiful as they used to be. Not to mention lots of competition from so many laid off tech workers. Depending on your skills and age, it could take months finding something new.

A lot of people who were not here ask how was EJ different pre-2019. A few callouts:

• JW cut $100M+ out of the budget to avoid layoffs during the ‘08-‘09 crisis. PP wants to layoff home office associates to capture millions in what she sees as “expenses”.

• JW’s agenda was the field, home office, and client. PP’s agenda was her legacy but now that she has bitten the hand that feeds her (the field) and has bitten the hand that pet her (the home office/CSTs) now her agenda is retribution.

Besides her animosity geared towards associates who did not fit her political and social beliefs, she now despises everyone.

Pre 2019 there was a saying, “You think and act different when you’re a partner”. I haven’t heard that mantra in 7 years as it went out the window with her mandates and the people she has brought in along with the leaders hired in the lower ranks. The reason her door mimics her FA door from Michigan is because the name on the door is the only name that matters to her.

Wonder if this will happen at Chevron.

At this point, it makes the most sense to file CH11 now and start a planned slide into restructuring, ensuring the best possible outcome and odds for survival. Save the company, and as many jobs as you can.

They will not do that.

As bad as things are, life is still pretty good in the command bunker. The EC is paid well and treated like royalty. They go to their F1 races, and attend sporting events in skyboxes with vendors they will eventually default on their line of credit with. It's nice, they run things, and have a comfortable standard of living; it is ideal.

What is not ideal is giving up control, giving up the perks, giving up the excessive compensation to drive the company into a ditch.

Actually saving the company would require sacrifice from the EC. They have chosen not to do that. Instead, they attend F1 races, spend lavishly (on themselves) and run out the clock on a company that could be saved. The company is an end to their means - nothing else. Whatever happens will be a lot worse that it needed to be, because they want to go to one more race, sit in one more skybox for a hockey game, lord over you for one more day, before a mandated bankruptcy trustee reined them in, and put an end to it.

Remember that when they say WE have to make sacrifices, WE have to do difficult things. WE, isn't we, it's YOU.

For those remaining that we want to target, let's make it difficult and wrong, until they quit.

I will never stand up for this company again.

Unappreciative ba----ds.

More jobs being sent out. The Job board is crowded. If you have a job I’m sure you are training those out of the country. Rumors flying cuz no one knows what they are doing, which is odd since these are imp. positions? Slow wait times too. Backed up. Anyone in this position? Sorry if you are. Was the divisions changing more about taking jobs and offshoring instead? It doesn’t seem right or people were lied to and it’s gotten so bad. I

Share price still falling, revenues down SLT terrible from the top to bottom, especially corporates. Not even in the top 3 legal AI, CoCounsel not had the right vision, stand alone product the trying to link it with everything, clients just not buying it literally. When wil the board step in and purge the lot of them?

Halliburton has recently been cutting staff again. Sources indicate these reductions are due to increasing costs and lower crude oil prices. Some workforce reductions occurred over the past several weeks. Three business divisions reportedly lost between 20% and 40% of their employees. Halliburton did not respond or comment on these claims.

We’re eliminating a lot of people. The round of layoffs like always are getting swept under the rug. We’re just expected to keep our heads down and focus on generating more revenue.

No need to worry about desks being filled to capacity next week with schools out this week. The next few weeks of Tuesdays will take care of that. Heard it’s already happening.

8 hours for today -- 40 hours for the week. The market says my time is more valuable spent elsewhere. You guys have a great weekend.

Kroger will stop its Oklahoma City delivery operations. The service concludes on January 31, 2026. Employees learned of job cuts via a recorded message. Many customers, especially elderly individuals, depend on this service. The company aims for faster delivery and increased profitability.
