#layoffs

Emplyoyees have lost:

1. Company paid medical benefits
2. Profit Sharing
3. The monthly possibility of promotions. Now done only annually
4. Company contributions to 401K with each pay check. Now done only annually
5. 2% or less raises
6. Your own desk. Now having to come in each day to seek a desk with hoteling.
7. No personal file space.
   Employees have gained:
8. More work due to layoffs and resignations of colleagues, and job uncertainty

So how does management expect to keep and attract employees under these circumstances?

Egg Harbor Township School District eliminated 23 positions for the upcoming school year. These cuts affect teaching, administrative, and support staff roles. The district aims to close a roughly $6 million budget gap. Rising health care costs largely drove this financial shortfall. Officials confirmed no music programs are canceled, but Latin courses will end.

Florida public schools face widespread closures and staff reductions. Declining enrollment drives these issues across the state. Lower birthrates and high living costs contribute to student loss. State politics, including school vouchers, also impact funding. Many districts are cutting positions and closing campuses.

The University of Oregon disregarded seniority during librarian layoffs. A neutral arbitrator ruled against the university's decision. The arbitrator found both junior and senior librarians were qualified. Contract terms required seniority to be a priority in such cases. This ruling followed layoffs impacting eight library positions in summer 2025.

Oakland City University employees did not receive their May 8 paychecks. The Indiana institution previously warned 167 workers of June 1 layoffs.

Rolling layoffs and separations in Home business. From YC to R&D and everywhere in between. Last week and this week. Likely more to come in small bits.

Per Rob’s most recent email, our teams will remain intact until January 1st. After that? Who knows!

On Friday, Cigna Evernorth let go of contractors associated with Endava.

How is next PRO WAND UNLIMITED, CGI or Cognizant?

It looks like they may be onboarding nearshore contractors through Brillio.

Nobody around me has been notified yet.

I hope they talk about the strategic layoffs that are to come for dfs folks

WOW !!!

People here were saying ISG was supposed to take hits today. What happened?

When, where, and number of affected workers would go a long way to allying fears and improving mental health as well.

It would also dispel rumors of large layoffs and improve optics with the media.

Anyone from ireland here? Were u guys affected by the layoffs?

RTP is closing?28

Not excited about Zayo. Its really a mismanaged company overall. At least Crown had somewhat of an idea. But Zayo has no clue. We have good people from Fibertech still on board. Zayo just needs to let us take charge. But who knows, knowing Zayo, they will lay us all off.

Only time will tell, but no one has a good feeling about Zayo

You'll have to offer another round of severance packages to get me to leave.

This isn’t working. RTO isn’t working.

The conversation internally is still focused only on badge swipes, presence reports, five-day mandates and 10% sweeping layoffs while the stock slides, morale stays low, and leadership takes new debt and pushes expensive long-term office bets nobody wants.

Markets don’t care about the unnecessary and expensive RTO facade. It just destroys value by forcing out top talent and plummeting productivity.

They don’t care about micromanaging badge data.
They don’t care about forced commutes that reduce available working hours.
They don’t care who sat in a chair 5 days this week while watching Netflix at their desk.

They care about execution. Growth. Costs. Talent retention. Confidence in leadership. All the things we aren’t focused on right now.

At some point the board has to ask hard questions and decide to make some real changes to turn things around.

Because the falling stock price, disengaged employees, and doubling down on unpopular policies isn’t a strategy. It’s self inflicted destruction.

General Motors recently reduced its IT workforce. The company cut approximately 600 salaried positions. This move is part of a deliberate skills exchange. GM is now hiring for AI-focused IT roles. The automaker seeks professionals to build AI systems from the ground up.

Wellmed layoff what departments are going to be RIF in May ?

Both the last CEO and the current one are below par. They then swamp the company with poor Execs like Drum, Rusl Jokes and Grey who just re invent different plans used before.

The next layers are full of Brocklehurst who are just yes men who processes and paperwork to stop real progress.

The managers below are just tickboxes for the Brocklehurst level.

All focus remains on cost cutting and wind down which they are good at.

This has been the strategy for the last 10 years.

Until they get someone who has done growth and investment in Employees the company will not change.

Anyone know if and when channel layoffs will occur?

Were all the teams notified of the 10% cuts?? Or are there still notifications to hit this week?

There is no truth to any rumors

I know several employees that have been given date of June 30.
They are doing zero work.
In short FIS Management has given them paid vacation.

The intent was to save money, instead management is doling out free money

I heard that the Cisco Wireless team was also affected due to low revenue in last layoff. Do you have any idea about the current situation with Cisco Spaces, Meraki, and the DNAC team?

I just want this round to be over so I can have some peace of mind, even if only for a couple of weeks. I'm terrified of losing my job. It's a bad period in life, too many obligations and reasons to stress. Losing my job would probably bring me to my knees. I hate that it's come to this, but I can't change it right now.

Probably not before tomorrow morning?

More layoffs there too. Yet they claim it's not related to bankruptcy...yeah right ..Like you can ever trust this company
