Oregon's small business bankruptcies reached a 12-year high in 2025. Approximately 250 businesses filed for bankruptcy protection statewide. This surge reflects a national trend driven by higher interest rates and rising costs. Layoffs at large employers like Intel and Nike also affected the local economy. Smaller firms and nonprofits face financial stress, including unpaid invoices.

Has anyone heard anything regarding U.K. layoffs, RTO, pay-outs (similar to the U.S.)?
It's been very hush-hush abroad.
McDowell Technical Community College is offering services to displaced workers. This initiative responds to recent layoffs at Baxter Healthcare. About 90 employees in McDowell County were affected. The college provides career guidance, skill upgrades, and financial assistance. Services include resume development, interview preparation, and short-term training.

WARN notice said 54 laid off in Baltimore alone. However, posts on this forum comment on ~59 laid off altogether from the Global Marketing and Distribution Enablement layoffs globally. Does that mean over 90% of cuts were in Baltimore alone?
Why don’t they layoff staff in EMEA and APAC? It seems unfair.
Christian and Dominik keep talking about 2% layoffs every year. At the same time, SAP has around 2000 jobs posted on the SAP Careers website. I compared these jobs with the ones in the internal portal. Also applied to quite a few internally and had a few friends apply for some externally. And my hypothesis is this:
The jobs on SAP CAREERS and SAP INTERNAL PORTAL are GHOST JOBS. Either there is already a "preferred candidate" or the job doesn't exist but they still post it.
Why is SAP doing this? Hiring in most areas is almost non-existent right now and a few are leaving due to the bad culture and executive rhetoric.
We have the all company meeting this week. Now we start the dreaded "who is getting laid off next week" game.
I’m so glad T has an extra $25M to sponsor the Pebble Beach golf tournament. After all, the majority of the people watching golf have NO idea who AT&T is, or what the company sells!! I’m sure people are flooding to the stores for millions of new net adds…
The T & Stinky way…whine about cash and then drive up costs on stupid sh-t! Followed by subsequently hacking away at the labor force…
People are mentioning everything from next week to March as potential layoff dates for KMEP. I'd just like to know if something is really coming to be prepared for it, and also not to worry if it's just rumors gone wrong.
Imagine a man who is the pillar of his family — the sole breadwinner, paying the mortgage, managing expenses, carrying the quiet weight of responsibility every single day. Now imagine him being laid off.
He walks back home, opens the door, and looks into the eyes of his wife and children. In that moment, his heart shatters — not because he has failed, but because he knows that even fulfilling the most basic needs of his family is about to become a battle.
Layoffs are brutal. They are not just headlines to scroll past. They are not numbers on a spreadsheet. They can shake the foundation of a family, robbing them of peace, security, and joy.
Dear employers, I understand that layoffs can sometimes be necessary — when companies are struggling financially or when performance standards are not being met. But letting people go purely to increase profits, driven by sheer greed, is not leadership. It is a failure of humanity.
Businesses grow because of people. We earn from our communities, and in return, we have a responsibility to serve and strengthen those very communities. Displacing our own people to chase greater margins while ignoring the human cost is short-sighted and unjust.
Build your people. Build your community. Build your nation.
When you uplift those around you, they will uphold you in return.
Some say it's all done, but I have my doubts.
With all the cuts and layoffs, I'm starting to worry I won't live to see the day.
This place is done. It's not a question of whether you'll get cut anymore, it's just a matter of when. Best advice: start looking now while you're still employed and can be picky.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has unveiled key elements of a $1.4 billion “fiscal stabilization plan” that also involves a reduction in force, which could mean job transfers or layoffs.

It’s been a few weeks since I was laid off, and nothing promising has landed yet. I keep hearing stories about how this is supposed to turn into a fresh start, but right now it’s just applications and silence. Severance buys some time, not peace of mind. I’m trying to believe the positive turn comes later, even if it’s hard to see from here.
Thinking about layoffs 24/7 is no way to live. Especially since I can change nothing. So I'm going to act as if layoffs are done, and save myself some stressing.
John Deere has recalled 245 workers in Iowa after mass layoffs. They'll be back on the job this month and next.
Prompted by weaker demand, a lagging agricultural economy and Trump administration tariffs on equipment, John Deere laid off workers across the Midwest last fall, including in Iowa.

I'm now rooting for a layoff. I've earned a decent package and I'd happily take it and run. How messed up is it that people with years of service would rather be shown the door than stick around? Says everything about where this place is at.

I'm wondering if there's a way to predict if you're on the list or not. Such as less work, avoidant manager, things like that.
I'm terrified of losing my job. I've been trying to find something else, anything, just in case, but the market is dead. Every email notification makes my heart stop. This is going to be a brutal month.
This is the first weekend in god knows how long that I've spent completely carefree and relaxed. I know it might come back to bite me if I end up jobless for months, but I intend to enjoy this brief moment of freedom to the fullest. Yes, I felt like cr-p when I was told. But the feeling didn't last long. I realized quickly how much I'd lost perspective while being su-ked into TD. I deeply appreciated some of the great teammates I had, and definitely did not appreciate my most recent manager, the bad leadership that set the toxic culture, or the badly designed job. Anyway, I wish all the best to my now-jobless fellows and to my former colleagues.
I'm thinking it's a certainty by now, but if I'm wrong, please let me know.
The leadership will wait to see how many people walk out due to RTO and other issues before they pull the trigger again. It's cheaper to find a way to get folks to leave than have to pay them to get them out.
Trying to get a sense of what to expect next week. Are we looking at more layoffs, or is it supposed to be quiet? If anyone has inside info, please share. The guessing game is exhausting.
I'm already so tired of this job, and even more exhausted by these seemingly endless layoffs.
Layoff notices will go to more than eight teachers and 24 other employees — including 12 instructional aides and eight counseling department staff members — in the Riverside school district.

I haven't heard or noticed anything unusual. Which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Not that I'd be surprised if it's real.
I was laid off after Q1 results were announced, even though there was no formal announcement of any cuts by the company. Came as quite a surprise.
They are doing stealth cuts every quarter, may not be a high number that they need to announce, but its happening every quarter.
It’s wild to think how many jobs could be saved if his pay matched his actual value. We’re talking tens of millions that could’ve kept real people employed.
Way too much uncontrolled uncertain chaos. Tons of lame misguided of both decision and indecision. Coulda woulda shoulda not sure so layoff. Hire from other banks……oooppss…they went somewhere else now. Umm stick with the layoff plan I guess.
This is all getting so old. Good luck everyone.
Somebody told me they were laid off four times throughout their entire career, and I can't wrap my head around it. How do you survive something like that? I'm worried about how I'd take being laid off once, but to have it happen to me more times? No. Just, no. Does it get easer or harder? I literally can't even imagine what that'd feel like.
What's the latest info?
I see so many posts from people wanting to leave for somewhere "safe." Hate to break it to you, but that place doesn't exist anymore. Everyone's laying off. If you hate it here for other reasons, yeah, go find something better. But if it's just about layoff fears, you're probably gonna be disappointed wherever you end up.
Is there truth to rumors of March or April RIFs?
Any chance they'll be offering those again sometime soon?
Can anyone share a practical checklist for right after getting cut? What documents do you need? What should you sign or not sign? I want to be prepared.
On February 9, 2026, interim CEO Than Powell resigned from his temporary role at Longeveron but remained with the company in business development, as the board appointed veteran biotech executive Stephen H. Willard as permanent CEO effective February 11, 2026. Longeveron tied Willard’s compensation to a mix of cash and equity, including substantial stock and option grants, while simultaneously imposing a temporary 50% pay cut on its CEO and executive chairman and rolling out broader cost-cutting measures such as employee furloughs and reduced board fees to conserve cash ahead of pivotal clinical trial milestones.
