This is what they do- force out the high paying or tenured employees and bring in apprentices and pay them so much less

Trying to read the tea leaves here. Does anyone have credible info or rumors on which specific departments or orgs are in scope for this round? Just trying to plan ahead and see if we need to start dusting off our resumes. Any insight is appreciated.need to get ready.

I strongly discourage anyone from joining OCI for several critical reasons:

1. Financial and Job Instability: OCI carries a heavy burden of over $600B in unfulfilled Purchase Orders (POs). To attract talent, they offer highly lucrative packages—including stock options with an aggressive 40% first-year vesting schedule—and inflated titles (such as SD, VP, GVP, and SVP). However, it is common for employees to be terminated within one or two quarters of joining just to keep corporate costs low.
2. Title Inflation: Because executive and senior titles are handed out so freely, the organization is saturated with people holding identical designations, leading to severe internal competition over the same responsibilities.
3. Lack of Technical Depth: OCI primarily provides the data center infrastructure and physical buildings to host hardware, while external GPU vendors handle the actual core technology. Beyond infrastructure, networking, and power utilities, there is very little engineering depth.
4. Hiring Bias & Recruiter Churn: Upper management is heavily dominated by ex-AWS personnel. Recruiters be-doverbackward to show extreme favoritism toward candidates coming from AWS, while professionals from Azure or GCP are not given the same priority or respect. Furthermore, due to constant employee turnover, recruiters stay in a perpetual cycle of hiring and firing just to justify their own roles and save their jobs.
5. Short-Sighted Leadership: There is no strategic roadmap beyond one or two quarters. Executive leadership is entirely reactive and focused solely on immediate execution.
6. Toxic Management Culture: Out of fear of ongoing layoffs, managers at all levels actively hoard and diversify projects simply to justify their own roles, creating a chaotic work environment.
7. Unprofessional Environment: Employee treatment is remarkably poor. Inappropriate and restricted language is frequently used without consequence in meetings, group chats, and official recorded corporate videos.

Sales folks.... we're all doing it but is it true some folks were sacked for fudging their external collaboration stats???

It’s going to be interesting when management sees they’re not going to hit the goal for attrition. The pandemic panic hires aren’t going anywhere. They know leaving fidelity means never working in a corporation again.

It doesn’t make sense to punish us further because management hired the wrong people into high positions rather than laying them off.

Who has had their hours cut a week before belk is having a job fair again?

Remember when these were the buzzwords in WF tech and we all were told to run to those shiny objects? Learn those and protect yourself from layoffs. Then BE came on board and she read something about AI on a buzz feed list called "ten things you must know about tech to sound qualified" and now we are all in on AI. Hey, by the way, what's the ROI on that? Especially since the gatekeepers are actively discouraging actual deployment. Be like BE and her BNY crew, move slow and continue to break things. Winning!

Tomorrow 9/24 is another day for layoffs. What can we do?🥲

They are coming no doubt but I seriously doubt tomorrow. When previous RIFs have occurred the last decade SOMEONE leaks some credible information prior and all the people who chose to deny it’s coming down vote and call them a fear monger.

All that to say… all I’ve seen is people complaining about the company and throwing weak theories out.

I think we’ll all be safe… TOMORROW. Prob not by EOY.

How to bad leaders get power? how do they protect the teacher's pet? They use skip levels to collect gossip. your skip level leader asks you to tattle on people by asking questions like tell me something good and bad about everyone you work with (a good leader would not do this). then they take the information they collect from all skip levels, and manipulate it as they please. is there a trend of people reporting the teacher's pet? skip level leaders discredit these people immediately.

this approach doesnt improve the team, foster trust, or create camaraderie. Its purposely done so they can pull strings and manipulate situations they normally would not have power over.

if you have a leader like this, slam them as hard as you can in the Pulse survey to get them laid off, and then find a new job. if you get laid off, that's better. collect a severance check and get out of this place.

I was part of the July layoffs in CX. When TJ was reading from the hostage video script she made it clear that “it had nothing to do with your performance” and it was based on needs of the business

Fast forward two more months and I have applied on multiple roles I am more than qualified for. I come to learn there is a flag in the system that shows if you are part of an impacted universe. In other words “we are laying this person off, do not hire them”

I am assuming this type of discrimination is not legal?

1) Layoffs and restructuring
2) Send jobs to overseas and to contractors
3) closed the research lab
4) sold QP building
5) shutdown Norman wells
6) pushing to complete all major projects before 2027 end
........
Please continue if anything else needs to be added. I think all this is an indication of selling upstream asset. what's your thoughts on this?

Please post comments here about business units, job roles, number of layoffs, etc. here about the 9/24 layoffs.

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority is implementing significant layoffs, impacting approximately 200 employees to address a $39 million budget deficit. A substantial portion of these cuts will affect management and administrative positions, with the Skyway division being the most heavily impacted. Senior leadership roles, including a Senior Vice President and a Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer, are among those slated for elimination. These workforce reductions coincide with the planned cessation of Skyway operations on November 2nd as part of the agency's restructuring efforts. The interim CEO defended the agency's financial strategy, stating that these cuts are not a result of mismanagement.

Anyone have details about the planned layoffs in Q4? I’ve heard timing will be last half of October.

A Washington-based Amazon delivery partner has ceased operations after its sole client, Amazon, terminated their contract. This abrupt decision resulted in the immediate layoff of 120 employees. The company cited an unforeseeable and last-minute notice from Amazon as the reason for its inability to provide the required 60-day WARN notice. Affected roles included drivers, dispatchers, helpers, an administrative assistant, and a manager. The closure is expected to be permanent.

Former employees of Waterview Heights have initiated a class-action lawsuit against the nursing home's operators. The suit claims that federal and New York WARN laws were violated during the facility's closure. Over 200 workers were reportedly laid off without adequate advance notice. This action follows the nursing home's impending shutdown due to the revocation of Medicare and Medicaid agreements. The facility cited long-standing health and safety violations as the reason for the federal action.

Tech companies in the Bay Area have announced significant job reductions in September, totaling over 1,000 positions. These cuts are described as permanent and come amidst a broader trend of tech industry layoffs. Oracle, Uber, and PayPal are among the companies implementing these workforce reductions. Despite these layoffs, the Bay Area as a whole has seen an increase in overall employment. The number of tech job cuts in 2026 is already significantly higher than the total for the previous year.

Michigan Sugar Company is reducing its Toledo workforce. The company's east Toledo facility will now operate solely as a warehouse. This change follows storm-related structural damage and ongoing operational difficulties. Seven employees were notified of their position eliminations. The company plans to invest in other facilities for production.

Trinity Health has announced the layoff of 557 employees, directly attributing the decision to federal cuts in Medicare and Medicaid. These cuts stem from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which significantly reduces Medicaid funding over the next decade. This legislation places millions at risk of losing health coverage and increases uncompensated care costs for providers. In Michigan, 23 healthcare providers are already facing service cuts or closure due to these changes. The article criticizes Senator Mike Rogers for supporting the bill despite its projected impact on Michigan residents.

Recent layoffs at Microsoft-owned gaming studios in Texas have created uncertainty for the state's video game industry. ZeniMax Media, which owns Bethesda Game Studios and id Software, reported significant job reductions affecting over 150 workers across Austin and Richardson. These cuts are part of a broader industry trend driven by rising development costs and consolidation. While Austin remains a game development hub, experienced developers are finding fewer opportunities. The situation has made it difficult for some to recommend the industry to aspiring professionals.

In a meeting about three weeks ago the president said ways of working was paused and said restructuring will start back up for phase 3 but there will be no layoffs. Well guess what happened today? If they could only be honest.

In speaking with an SLT member, it was dropped that more cuts are on the way for Canada. He was heavily involved in CEP last go round so was unclear whether this is Canada specific or just the previously announced additional cuts that were always in the pipeline.

When you read that we're going to have the worst year since 2022 you know we're about to see a correction. There are a few ways to achieve that, including canceling shows and laying people off. I think we'll see both, and it'll be a bloodbath. The golden days of Netflix are over.

AT&T Is Automating Away Jobs—and Its Old Telecom Empire

The telecom giant is eager to show Wall Street that it can do more with less. That means fewer employees, less electricity, and increased automation.

217 people were let go from india(gdi) yesterday. This involved managers, directors, testers and developers.

How many? Which location?

I heard from someone who went to Arium that they had layoffs last week. How are the Zayo folks doing? Are we thinking more Crown layoffs? Raise your hand if you are tired of this.......

Can stop paying?

If they want to fire me because I cannot make it in for some uncontrollable reason go ahead.
The roads and mbta are horrendous each alternating a nightmare scenario.
They’ll need to give HUGE raises and comp more because people are spending a fortune now and it’s just begun!
Is anyone hearing anyone still complaining or is everyone just grumbling to themselves?
No recent survey since earlier on it either.
You think they’re mulling it over still or staying hardline? I hope they’re going to loosen this and allow even one day a week wfh but I’m afraid I’m still wasting sugar coated glasses.

Is it happening again today? I was impacted last week.

There is a question worth asking about the recent RIFs affecting Customer Success Managers across Oracle Consumer Industries:

Why does it appear that Hospitality CSMs are carrying a disproportionate share of the reductions compared with Food & Beverage?

The question becomes more interesting when you consider the nature of the two businesses.

Hotel technology particularly at the enterprise level is incredibly complex. A Hospitality CSM may be dealing with global hotel companies operating hundreds or thousands of properties, OPERA Cloud deployments, integrations, payments, distribution, loyalty, partners, escalations and major transformation programs.

These aren't simply account-management roles. The best Hospitality CSMs often become the connective tissue between the customer, Support, Development, Consulting, Sales, Product and executive leadership.

If Hospitality is also delivering stronger profitability and margins than F&B, as some believe, the disparity becomes even more difficult to understand. It would be useful to see the actual numbers.

And there is another question that probably needs to be asked:

Does the background of the current Consumer Industries leadership play any role in how Customer Success resources are being allocated?

With leadership experience coming from the F&B side of the business, could there naturally be greater familiarity with or a different view of the F&B Customer Success model and its staffing requirements?

That doesn't mean anyone is deliberately protecting one organization at the expense of another. Nor is this an argument that F&B CSMs should be losing their jobs instead.

It's a question about whether the two businesses are being evaluated using the right criteria.

If Hospitality has greater customer complexity, larger enterprise transformations, significant integration requirements and attractive margins, what is the business rationale for deeper reductions in Hospitality Customer Success?

Maybe there is a good answer.

But employees and customers deserve to understand the strategy.

What metrics are actually determining where the CSM reductions occur and are Hospitality and F&B truly being evaluated on an equivalent basis?

I signed the severance 9/11 and will be getting mine on Friday per Dayforce. My amount on Optum/Cobra was also corrected which I paid today. yeehaw. Now if my unemployment gets approved all will be well lol - wishing everyone peace and relief after all this!
