How much % layoff in endpoint security, CASB, DLP, email security ?

Those bad layoff decisions made by certain incompetent and selfish leaders have drag the org into negative loop. Hardworking and valuable engineers are let go, but slackers who have good relationship with those leaders are still there and get promotions. Customers keep leaving. While CEO only cares about the org revenue. And those decision just accelerate the decline of the revenue, and assure the layoff in next quarter.

That's all I know so far. Presumably other teams are getting hit too.

I don't have much hope, considering that every layoff so far has been about money and cronyism, but I guess we can always hope. Let's face it, it's not that we don't have fat that can be trimmed at Cigna. It's that the fat never actually gets trimmed, and it's the muscle that pays the price every single time.

We should be thankful we have a job at T(for now)

Is cutting 20% so I’d say that’s an ominous outlook for everyone
Really a u c k s when companies get that grossly wealthy on our backs and labor then greed out for top execs and then cry poor mouth to employees.
IBM used to never layoff they even had engineers pairing just to keep them on the payroll.
Long gone are those days of loyalty.
House of cards at the house of fidelity???
We shall see.

Seton Hall laid off 46 people in the fall 2026 semester and is requesting voluntary separations from union and non-union staff to offset a multi-million dollar deficit for the 2026-27 fiscal year. They have frozen salaries and raises and say they have frozen hiring but continue to post multiple job openings for administrative positions and faculty.

Is there a way to get rid of Cigna stock investments in my Empower Retirement portfolio and move those funds into a different investment option? It seems to be locked, and I’m unable to make any changes.

I disagree with Cigna’s decision to reduce its workforce, and I’m concerned about the company’s future outlook and potential decline. I would prefer not to have my retirement savings invested in Cigna stock. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to make changes?

Next RIF in December right before the Christmas holiday

Is somebody joking or is this real? Does Verizon usually have layoffs ahead of Christmas?

Wall Street has no faith in Farley or his projections. They are laughing off 100K Fathom orders. 10% yoy sales declines. Accounting smoke and mirrors make Pro more profitable than the F-150. Instead of laying off failures, they keep collecting paychecks as Executive Director for Europe digital services, which nobody pays for, thus Pro smoke and mirrors needed. There needs to be layoffs, but starting at the overweight and overpaid BOD and LL3+ level.

Like the other post confirmed a while back, layoffs today. Areas impacted and number are still being assessed.

Anyone know which teams were impacted?

Are cuts down till year end or more to come this week

We were crying all day. How are you getting work done?

Anyone know the exact numbers or percentages of impact today November 2nd in GIDS and RS?

A significant majority of American business leaders anticipate workforce reductions within the next year. This trend is driven by the integration of AI technologies and a focus on operational efficiencies. The outlook for layoffs is particularly strong among CEOs, with a notable increase in HR leaders sharing this concern. Furthermore, financial executives are increasingly involved in outplacement decisions. Severance packages are also becoming less generous as companies prepare for these changes.

They cut the entire finance AR team. Off-shored the positions.

Got laid off in July during that round of RIF and while I was going through my closet and kitchen today to donate some items to Goodwill I found so much useless CDW stuff that was given to me during my tenure there.

A full set of copper Moscow mule mugs that have the CDW logo on them. Multiple vests with the CDW logo. CDW shirts (which I know are standard for conferences, but I have several of the same kind that were always just given to me even when I said I didn’t need any more). A standing desk pad. Detachable keyboards. Mugs. Cups.

So much useless junk, and I wonder how much money was spent on it while they’re doing round after round of layoffs and reductions in force.

Workforce change email incoming.

Silver linings and all that.

There's no stability here, and we're expected to figure out new responsibilities with little training or guidance. Between the layoffs, constant management interference, and endless reorganizations, getting anything done is a miracle.
