#layoffs

Layoffs - In progress. CoachHub is laying off 150 people.

From an internal board: What you’ll find out on 1/28

You wake up at 10:00 a.m. for your 10:00 standup. You open your laptop, planning to tell the team you have no updates. You try to log into your Mac. It doesn’t work.

Panic sets in. Oh no—I'm going to miss standup. My manager is going to ki-l me.

You grab your phone to message the team on Slack. Slack won’t open. You’ve been logged out. Now you’re really freaking out. What is happening?!

You start trying to remember every paging alias. Okay, I’ll just page everyone.
You send paging emails from your personal email.

There’s a typo in one alias. You accidentally page Andy Jassy.

Andy Jassy’s executive assistant gets the page. She looks at her pager and sees your name. Who the he-l is this?
Then another page comes in.
Then another.
And another.

Her phone won’t stop ringing. It’s completely unusable.

She jumps out of bed and wakes Andy.
“Hey Andy.”

Andy rubs his eyes. “No. Hey.”

“Sorry Andy,” she says. “My phone went totally bananas. Everyone is paging you.”

Andy snaps back, “Too many bananas. So we asked ourselves: what’s the best way to get rid of bananas? That’s why we eliminated bananas. If you think about it, it’s just layoffs. Bananas go nuts.”

Then he rolls over and falls back into a deep sleep.

That’s what you’ll see on 1/28.

Brace yourself.

Quite a few layoffs happened in November 2025, right before the U.S. mid-term election day so it would get buried in the news. It affected administrative and IT positions not only at hubs but smaller airports. "People were being immediately escorted out in large groups of ten or more." The 2025 third quarter "dog and pony show" right before those layoffs was completely out of touch, per usual, and they reported spending millions on a "grab-and-go" food section at CLT, a new alcohol partner for first class, and a yet "really bad" earnings quarter. Their Station GMs had a mandatory in-person "training retreat" the week prior and were told of the layoffs, but told not to tell their staff. As someone who's seen AA's lack of oversight and poor spending decisions from as far back as their US Airways merger days up close, and attempted to put an end to them, I am not surprised. "AA is an 800-pound gorilla." Money was/is overspent right and left. Accounts being auto-paid for services no longer rendered or properties no longer occupied, etc. simply because it's too big and no one is watching. Rather than practicing natural talent attrition from the COVID days, and truly evaluating work supported by operational, administrative and IT positions for already skeleton teams, they resorted to these drastic layoffs. I would not be surprised if non-hub mainline stations will all transition to partners starting in 2026, corporate's out-of-touch management and spending simply can't sustain both them and the field.

Glencore is cutting 1,000 jobs to reduce costs as it focuses more on the growing demand for copper. The company is also merging its nickel and zinc operations. Glencore employs about 150,000 people worldwide. It plans to spend a lot of money to increase copper production, aiming to become one of the world’s largest copper miners.

Omnicom plans to lay off more than 4,000 workers and shut down several well-known advertising agencies after buying rival Interpublic Group for $13 billion. The advertising industry is under growing pressure as artificial intelligence changes how ads are made. Big tech companies like Meta are also making it easier and faster for businesses to create ads on a large scale.

High street shops Claire’s and The Original Factory Shop are going into administration, which could put about 2,500 jobs at risk. Claire’s, which is well known for selling accessories to young people, had been looking for a buyer after its American owner went bankrupt last year. Modella Capital, which owns both stores, said the businesses will enter insolvency proceedings in the UK and Ireland.

2,400 jobs will be eliminated in France.

The union already has the paperwork, so this is transparent.

You can google it, there is info about this on the web.

Dun & Bradstreet terminated more than 700 people today, 1/27/2026. They eliminated jobs across all US based business units, all titles, all the way up to SVP.

They have consolidated sales teams and instituted double digit growth goals even though they grew at low single digits in 2025.

Private equity takeover ruins everything and always eliminated jobs.

Any cuts at Alexa teams?

Coworkers laid off last week, this week I hear the product I work on is being gutted. Some will move to other areas, others will be let go. For the “lucky ones” that remain, it feels like we are left behind on a sinking ship. Lower 401k, no hopes for promotion, they removed our bonuses, and after the earnings call today it seems things will continue to get worse. Besides the people I work with I can’t think of a single positive thing about working for this company, and ironically they’re in the process of wrecking that last part. The toughest part is that we can’t complain about low morale because that is by design. Leadership wants people to hate their job so they quit. Things are looking bleak - decided to start looking outside the company today.

Management seems to be shooting themselves in the foot by letting go of their talent and keeping the folks certainly good at kissing butts. It’s a shame. I guess they feel like they don’t need marketing anymore or social. Just my two cents.

Let’s start by saying the quiet part out loud: most of the “agile leadership” still hanging around the bank looks like the clearance rack of corporate transformation. Folks who washed out of Best Buy and Target and couldn’t quite stick the landing anywhere else in the Fortune 500. You could cut half the agile coaches and performative agile leaders tomorrow and the only noticeable impact would be fewer meetings about meetings.

The latest org changes just reinforce that reality. A digital leader casually floated the idea that there was “opportunity” to rotate product and agile assignments across teams. Translation: since we can’t actually promote or develop people, let’s blow up stable teams instead and call it growth. Why not inject a little chaos, instability, and work/life imbalance for fun?
Naturally, instead of agile leadership doing their actual jobs, like explaining why this is a spectacularly bad idea and gently escorting that leader away from the cliff, they went all in.

Scrum Masters got shuffled around, including ones who were deeply embedded with teams that existed long before said leaders showed up. And, of course, everyone was told to keep quarterly planning on track, maintain team performance, and execute rushed handoffs at the same time. Because nothing says “agile maturity” quite like lighting the house on fire and asking everyone to keep dinner warm.

And let’s not forget the timing. This brilliant idea was floating around before ICE went full dystopian cosplay in local communities - storming around, kidnapping children, pepper spraying grandma on her way to target, and generally reminding everyone that the world is already on edge. Against that backdrop, I have to hand it to our failed agile leaders for truly impeccable coordination: announcing these changes while simultaneously rolling out layoffs. Chef’s kiss.

Nothing reassures employees quite like organizational chaos paired with “by the way, your job might disappear.” Thank you so very much for letting me keep this absolutely fantastic job, at least for now.

Casino at Nemacolin Cuts Staff for Stability

The Casino at Nemacolin dismissed over 140 employees. This reduction aims to ensure long-term operational stability. Changes in room inventory affected guest attendance and business demand. The casino remains among the lowest revenue generators in Pennsylvania. This occurred despite recent major renovations and upgrades.

TekniPlex plans to close its manufacturing plant on Milwaukee’s northwest side in April, resulting in the layoff of 39 employees, according to the Milwaukee Business Journal. The closure will idle the facility entirely, adding to a series of recent manufacturing shutdowns and job losses in the region.

Hennepin Healthcare announced it will lay off about 100 employees and close or scale back several services as its financial crisis deepens. Leaders at Hennepin Healthcare said the publicly funded hospital is operating so far in the red that it needed a county line of credit to cover January payroll and must find at least $50 million in savings by the end of March.

The cuts include closing chiropractic, acupuncture, and sleep clinics, reducing stand-alone weight management services, transitioning senior and extended care to other systems, and shifting some pain management to primary care or outside providers. Officials cited fewer patients and sharp reductions in Medicaid reimbursements as key drivers of the crisis. While core services like trauma and burn care will be preserved, administrators warned this is likely the first of several difficult decisions ahead.

Nearly 500 workers across Illinois face upcoming layoffs. These job cuts were revealed by the Illinois WARN Act spreadsheet. APL Logistics accounts for the largest number, with 230 employees affected. These layoffs stem from warehouse closures in Minooka. Other companies like S&S Activewear and Microplastics Inc. also announced significant job reductions.

The state has twice rejected Palisades Park's emergency budget plan. This plan aimed to cover a $775,000 budget shortfall from last year. The borough council passed the appropriation resolution on January 5. The state's denial could lead to layoffs and service cuts. This decision also creates uncertainty for the borough's 2026 budget.

The Redlands Unified School District board will meet to consider significant staff reductions. Resolutions propose authorizing layoffs for 91 certificated and 44 classified positions. These cuts are attributed to declining enrollment and budget constraints. The board will also review the district's 2024-25 financial audit. Additionally, trustees will discuss a new mobile device policy and the 2027-28 student attendance calendar.

Received the notification of my last day Feb 6th. I wish everyone the best here. It was not my ideal place to work but I came here 2+ years ago thinking it might grow on me. On to the next thing.

Is that some kind of a joke? More cuts?

That all hands? That will be where Dan tells us

• we did amazing, what a strong quarter
• we are the worst carrier and everything needs to change
• first, we need to cut cost
• in order to improve efficiency and to better serve and delight our customers, and given the inflow of people from Frontier, we will lay off another 8% of staff
• turnarounds are amazing, the best thing ever (assuming you survive)
• we will shuffle the deck chairs and do a reorg - we'll find a cozy spot for all the useless execs and keep paying them for a long long time (like Hans, Shankar, etc)
• fear, I mean, transformation and cost savings, will be a permanent 'feature'
• now stop complaining and go back to work so Dan can earn his guaranteed $31M between now and the end of next year

Expect a weak earnings print and disappointing bonuses. The setup is already clear.

Revenue growth is barely positive and EPS is expected to decline year over year. Legacy segments continue to drag results while growth areas aren’t scaling fast enough to offset it. Meanwhile, the balance sheet is still weighed down by massive debt, limiting flexibility and magnifying every misstep.

Billions have been spent on buybacks at higher prices, yet the stock continues to underperform peers and the broader market. That’s textbook value destruction, capital out the door with nothing to show for it. Analysts have responded by trimming expectations, not raising them.

On the cost side, operating expenses are creeping higher while productivity gains remain elusive. Decisions that add friction instead of efficiency show up quietly in margins and execution, even if they’re never called out directly.

Bonuses follow the numbers. Flat growth, declining EPS, weak stock performance, and constrained free cash flow don’t justify upside payouts. At best, expect tight targets. At worst, expect “discipline.”

https://www.geekwire.com/2026/expedia-group-lays-off-employees-in-latest-cuts-at-seattle-travel-giant/
Expedia Group is laying off employees. Impacted workers include program managers and engineers. The company stated it is eliminating roles and simplifying its structure. These reductions follow previous workforce cuts over the past two years. Expedia Group had 16,500 employees globally at the end of 2024.
