#layoffs

I heard budget cuts are going on and layed off few subcons who are with Infosys. Seems like Verizon is not happy with this infosys as they don’t perform good with their employees and not giving option to sub contracts. Any ideas is infosys contracts are closing

Contradicting the earlier tweet.

Is it true the position is being eliminated? Rumor mill is going

Macy’s Inc., continuing to execute on its three-year “Bold New Chapter” reinvigoration strategy, disclosed 14 Macy’s locations that will be closed this year.
“In executing our strategy, we continue to review our portfolio and make careful decisions about where and how we invest, including closing underproductive stores and streamlining operations,” Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, wrote to employees in a memo, a copy of which was obtained by WWD.

“These decisions are not made lightly,” Spring wrote. “We communicated directly with affected colleagues first and are providing support, including transfer opportunities where available, as well as severance and outplacement resources where applicable. We thank all those colleagues for their dedication and service to the company.”

The 14 locations are part of the previously announced plan to close approximately 150 Macy’s department stores, leaving 350 remaining. In 2025, 66 stores were closed.

The strategy also calls for investing in 125 “Reimagine” stores, which are receiving increased staffing in high-traffic areas such as women’s shoes and the fitting room areas, fresher products and improved visuals. Last quarter, the 125 stores achieved comparable sales growth of 2.7 percent. They continue to outperform the overall Macy’s department store chain.

“These targeted changes allow us to focus where it will have the greatest impact — reimagining our best stores, enhancing customer service, expanding our luxury business, and advancing our supply chain capabilities,” Spring said.

“Nearly two years into our Bold New Chapter strategy, the focus of our work remains the same: strengthen our stores, simplify how we operate, and invest in the experiences that matter most to our customers. Today, that work is centered on disciplined execution and continuous improvement, with strategic investments that are guided by what customers value most.”

Spring also indicated that Macy’s net promoter scores are improving, that Bloomingdale’s delivered 9 percent comp sales growth during the third quarter, Bluemercury delivered its 19th consecutive quarter of comp sales growth and the supply chain is being modernized.

The 14 stores being closed are:

Fox Run – Newington, N.H.
Livingston – Livingston, N.J.
Marley Station – Glen Burnie, Md.
Boulevard – Amherst, N.Y.
Crossroads Center – St. Cloud, Minn.
Rivertown Crossings – Grandville, Mich.
West Valley Mall – Tracy, Calif.
Pittsburgh Mills – Tarentum, Pa.
La Palmera – Corpus Christi, Tex.
Northlake Mall – Atlanta
Triangle Town Center – Raleigh, N.C.
Grossmont – La Mesa, Calif.
Interstate – Ramsey, N.J.
Budget House – Tukwila, Wash.

That's like the size of a fortunate 1000 company.

Here we go... merry whatever 😌 Scx cutting down to a fuel pad. Linwood to add 16 craft jobs if you want to move and that's it. No moving money either.

Danaher did a 10% head count reduction on its OpCo's right before Christmas. Merry Christmas to them! Sad

U.S. logistics, manufacturing and supply-chain firms have started 2026 with a surge of layoffs, facility closures and bankruptcy filings, affecting more than 2,200 workers nationwide.

State notices and court records show job cuts spanning rail support services, parcel networks, food manufacturing, packaging, last-mile delivery and e-commerce, as companies grapple with lost contracts, high costs, excess capacity and tighter credit conditions.

Bottom line - don't get stuck here. We've seen they can spring layoffs on us without warning. If that wasn't a wake-up call to stop being complacent, I don't know what is. We all tend to seek false security and get set in our ways. You're not doing yourself any favors. Better to be prepared with other options lined up than to be caught off guard.

There's no limit to greed. We get the short end of the stick whether the business is booming or busting. Don't ever relax, especially in retail. Better to always be on the lookout for other options. You never know - you may come across a better opportunity. Yes, even in this bad economy. There's life after Macy's.

LNP | LancasterOnline is just one day away from a new chapter in the history of the 232-year-old newspaper.

On Thursday, the news operation will transfer from its current owner Pennon, to the nonprofit Always Lancaster, which is led by David Greene, a former NPR journalist.

But, on Wednesday, the newspaper reported that 11 of its 107 employees (about 10%), including five members of the newsroom, were laid off on Tuesday.

1. Always Be “Market-Ready”

Job security in tech no longer comes from tenure—it comes from readiness.
• Update your resume every 3–6 months, even if you’re happy
• Keep a running list of accomplishments with metrics (your “brag doc”)
• Take occasional recruiter calls to understand your market value

Think of this as maintenance, not job hopping.

⸻

1. Build Transferable, Layoff-Resistant Skills

Roles disappear faster than skills.
• Stay close to revenue, customers, or measurable cost savings
• Cross-skill across functions (ex: product + data, engineering + cloud, ops + automation)
• Prioritize tools and platforms used broadly across the industry

Ask yourself: If my job vanished tomorrow, what skill would still be in demand?

⸻

1. Network Before You Need It

Most roles are filled through people, not postings.
• Reconnect with former colleagues regularly
• Be helpful without asking for anything in return
• Stay lightly visible on LinkedIn by commenting and sharing insights

Networking works best when it’s ongoing—not urgent.

⸻

1. Learn to Read Early Warning Signs

Layoffs rarely come without signals.
Common red flags include:
• Hiring freezes or denied backfills
• “Efficiency,” “realignment,” or “focus on core priorities” language
• Sudden leadership changes or org reshuffles
• Increased consultant or vendor presence

When multiple signs appear, quietly accelerate your search.

⸻

1. Maintain a Financial Safety Net

A financial cushion gives you leverage and calm.
• Aim for 3–6 months of expenses if possible
• Avoid lifestyle inflation after bonuses or raises
• Treat severance as a bonus, not a plan

Money buys time. Time buys better decisions.

⸻

1. Separate Identity From Employer

Even great companies lay off great people.
• Layoffs are usually about timing and macro conditions, not performance
• Your career is a portfolio, not a single company bet
• Measure success by skills gained and impact delivered, not titles held

⸻

1. Adopt the Right Mindset
   • Loyalty should be to your career, not a logo
   • Staying prepared is not disloyal—it’s responsible
   • Mobility is the new stability

⸻

Bottom Line

Surviving mass tech layoffs means always being ready to move—even when you don’t plan to.
Those who fare best are not the most loyal, but the most prepared, adaptable, and connected.

Have you heard about it anything at all?

This is published information- these layoffs have been planned for several years. All of the “ we are a people first company “ we care about your career, growth, development” spiel is garbage.

C-Levels and their directs are all full of BS. Stop drinking the kool aid they are serving up, stop cheering for them as the spew this BS. They do not care about you! You are a commodity, “a human tax” that will eventually do away with while lining their pockets.

Details: do your own research

T-Mobile projects that AI initiatives will drive approximately $10 billion in additional Core Adjusted EBITDA by 2027.

At its September 2024 Capital Markets Day, T-Mobile outlined a growth strategy heavily leveraging artificial intelligence and expected financial targets for 2027.

Key points regarding T-Mobile and AI by 2027:
Financial Impact: AI and digital leadership are expected to increase Core Adjusted EBITDA to between $38 billion and $39 billion by 2027, an increase of roughly $10 billion from 2023 levels.

Customer Experience: T-Mobile is collaborating with OpenAI to create an AI-powered customer service platform, called IntentCX, aimed at providing faster and more personalized customer support experiences.
Network Performance: The company has partnered with Nvidia, Ericsson, and Nokia to establish an AI-RAN Innovation Center in Bellevue, Washington, which will use AI to optimize the radio access network for faster speeds and reduced latency.

Revenue & Efficiency: AI is seen as a key driver of significant operating efficiencies and a projected service revenue compound annual growth rate of about 5% through 2027, reaching up to $76 billion.

While AI is central to T-Mobile's growth strategy and financial outlook for 2027, it remains one component of a broader plan that includes network leadership, customer growth, and strategic acquisitions.

2 in the thoughts and 1 in the prayers for all you delta peeps. Your new CD&TO left a trail of pain and misery at USAA. Don’t believe me? Read any of the dozens of posts on here about her. Best of luck! 🤞

Just read Amala is going to Delta Airlines to be their Chief Digital & Technology Officer.

Poor Delta. These worthless executives always come out smelling like roses.

Oh, you thought they were going to choose the most capable and knowledgeable people? Not a chance. They’re picking the ones who excel at kissing up and delivering polished slide decks to upper management. These are the folks who coast by using the work and expertise of the very people the company isn’t keeping.

They’re selecting the “yes‑at‑all‑costs” crowd—people who are just trying to hang on until the back half of 2028. Some of them even said they couldn’t relocate because of their spouse or personal situation… yet suddenly they’re taking the job?

Honestly, I hope it blows up in their faces when the yes‑people eventually leave, and the company realizes they let go of the people who actually knew the work and kept things running. At that point, they won’t even be able to operate properly.

I joined T-Mobile late last year and was let go on Tuesday. I'm in my late twenties with a technical degree and passed on another offer because the role seemed stable. It's hard to understand how hiring keeps going when cuts are clearly coming. Staying in touch with recruiters turned out to be the smartest move I made.

We haven't really grown any new policies since July. It's going to get a lot worse. We are too expensive and can't afford to pay agents commission anymore since they account for about 30% of our expense ratio. People are not buying houses or new cars and putting their groceries on their credit cards. Broke. Plus our brand su-ks! Our current round of Execs are wannabes! They are only interested in profits over people. Nothing else as they despise employees and see you as a burden. Greed, incompetence, and unethical leadership defines this organization now and the culture that MT brought in is just a cancer that is slowly ki-ling the patient. In the next 5-10 years SF will become just a shell of itself and a story of what not to do in business. Place is and will always be a sh-t hole.

Well said, @g9+1ke4bkj4j.

For workers in white-collar fields like tech, consulting, and media, it's an especially weird moment — fewer layoff headlines, but still difficult conditions when it comes to landing a new job. The larger companies may be done cutting for the moment, but they're not ready to rehire aggressively in the parts of the economy that tend to drive long-term productivity and wage growth.

Hard to believe how much things have changed. What used to be a busy, collaborative place now feels like a complete ghost town. Empty floors, no energy, barely anyone around. It honestly feels like The Walking Dead, people just showing up, wandering around, and ki-ling time.

There’s not much actual work happening here anymore. Teams are gone or spread out, roles eliminated, and a lot of the real work seems to have moved elsewhere or just disappeared. So what exactly is the point of RTO when you come in and there’s nothing to do?

Curious if others are seeing the same thing. Is this just a slow fade until the site eventually shuts down?

Moral is so bad and everyone is so miserable that i fight to log on and stay on daily. This has to be intentional by these mo--ns running this place into the ground. Holding out as long as possible because of the pay and the fact so many are struggling to fund other jobs but dont know how much longer i can do this

I’m really struggling to adjust to the no assigned seating. It’s really awful and a big downgrade to my quality of work life.

This + 4 days in office has me seeking new jobs away from Chevron.

But I guess that’s what the wanted

Officially open to work

It's unclear how many employees could be impacted. Before the merger with Cincinnati-based Fifth Third was officially approved, data from Downtown Dallas Inc. showed Comerica as one of 19 Fortune 1000 companies based in Dallas.

Not many mentions lately, is that a good sign?

On a call with leaders and managers. 25,000 layoffs last year, expect another re-org (or as it was said in the meeting; 'reshuffle') at the earliest mid-February.

Employee confidence in Cisco, it's direction and future are at an all time low according to leadership. The only positive is RTO reigniting local hire after years of stagnation.

It's time to start looking for a job on the grill at mcdonalds

My store is high-performing, do we have anything to worry about? I remember reading a while ago somebody complained about being blindsided with closing since the location was high-performing, but I thought the person was trolling. Does it ever happen that such a store is closed for whatever reason?

From where I'm sitting, just relying on layoffs and nothing else to make the numbers look better is a plan to go out of business. The new CEO isn't solving problems, he's just accelerating the decline. Watching the company I once cared about fall apart like this isn't just frustrating, it's genuinely sad.

I've been through many, many layoffs at Optum and seen many talented people let go. It's tough to watch, but I've also seen a clear pattern where a lot of those people ended up in much better positions elsewhere. They found roles with better pay, better culture, or just more respect. Just something to keep in mind.

I just saw my severance lump they took close to 20000 in taxes do we get any of that back

America is at a breaking point and we all feel it. My heart goes out to my fellow employees living through these times, lord knows our employer isnt helping things. Pray for peace and less corporate headcount savings.

There should have just been layoffs for underperformance. Hiring someone from McDonald’s, during the pandemic, and sending them back because they never break 30% kpis… just layoff people who don’t work. Why do I have to pay for it?!

Very dangerous
