#layoffs

Economy is getting worst. Most companies are announcing cuts, Cisco is no different. Major LR announcements in work for next Cisco Q3 earnings on May 13. This would be drastic shift caused by AI disruptions. 15-20 percent across the company. Many Delivery centers to shut.

I just read an article that said many people are forgoing PTO due to fear of layoffs, and I realized I'm one of them. They really conditioned us like dogs, didn't they?

I know case is Sampaths Baby any Sampath is gone.. Is Case very much needed to clean up mess or will there be any layoffs in case, or will Case get axed? Insight will be appreciated..

What's the latest on potential April cuts? Is it coming or not?

I picked up extra work, helped other teams, and stayed late when it was needed, and in the end none of it seemed to matter. The people making the layoff calls clearly had no clue who was actually doing the work. That’s the frustrating part, when what you put in and what you get out don’t match at all.

One week it’s “focus on growth,” the next it’s cost cutting, then it’s something else entirely. No one knows what the priorities are anymore, and it shows in how teams operate. At this point, the layoffs don’t even feel shocking, they feel like the obvious outcome of nonstop chaos.

Can we have at least a week where we don't have to worry about cuts? Just a single one?

How are you mentally preparing for it ?

Big difference in both these numbers .

Which one is it

You have better bargain power for salary with your next employer if you apply outside now while you are in the current job. Not after getting layed off.

For the US RIFs happened over email last week, did they give garden leave ?

I’ve heard a lot about hiring and firing practices at this company. I’m trying to figure out which divisions are involved in these practices. I haven’t personally witnessed any layoffs, but I believe they are. I know of one division in particular that has experienced some performance-related separations. However, I don’t believe all the posts on this site are from that organization. Could everyone please post which division they are in and what they’ve observed?

I heard from a good source that there is going to be a layoff soon! Reduculous considering when the price of oil is so high.

This post is what this site is supposed to be about, not the whining RTO bs.
So I and R in the CWA district 6 area were offered a VSP to leave, they got offered an extra 50k to leave!
so far 4 guys from our garage took it but would like to hear what other areas have been offered!
you know what happens next less techs means less managers if not enough take the offer surplus is next!

For at least a couple of years, until everything settles down. There's no doubt about this in my mind. If you like job security, you're out of luck.

A Miami-based distributor is implementing job cuts. Concurrently, the company is expanding its operational footprint. These job cuts are moving forward as planned. The distributor is located in Miami. Its growth strategy continues alongside these personnel changes.

Company is one of the worst on the street. I’ve been talking to numerous recruiters and had interviews and they all mentioned how toxic the environment at WF is from others. The stock is also taken a beating which is what I want to do to DF, that DB.

Porsche experienced a dramatic financial reversal in 2025. Its operating profit collapsed by over 90% to €413 million. This led to job cuts and a major rethink of its electric vehicle strategy. Several key electric models have been delayed, with hybrid options now considered.

The company you once were, it's no longer there.

Good luck with all those corporate creeps you insist to keep, while pushing real PEOPLE out

You must agree that it is understandable everyone is angry - in the last few months we have seen dedicated and caring people who really wanted to help Humana and its customers succeed. Those who remain are nervous since people were let go just because of a sweeping decision - nothing they could control or would they underperforming employees. HR is not helping - there are open positions and they are not helping hiring managers bring some of these folks into these open positions.

I'm still here and I am here because I was interested in helping seniors - but it is hard when I'm watching us deny them care and making them fight for benefits. It has been extremely difficult watching the people I saw give so much to the organization leave and some slackers who took credit but did nothing are still here!

I know this happens all the time but knowing that does not make it any easier! It is just hard to work in an underperforming organization - at any company going through this, it is toxic until it settles down. It just hasn't been good for years and years!

Please don't tell me to "just quit" - I care about my customers / patients! I care about my coworkers! And, the reality is that it is not just as simple as "just quit" - we all have to have an income to survive. We are allowed to be sad, mad, stressed, concerned, fearful, and hopeful - or any emotion we are feeling - we are allowed to be human!

I wonder what the future is for Retail to Business? Everything is very secretive. Nothing is being shared with the store locations. There are so many postings, would anyone consider this job after the November cuts?

I'm watching team after team get carved up and wondering when this becomes unsustainable. They keep cutting deeper, and everyone left is just expected to absorb the rest. No one's asking if the work still gets done, or who's going to be around to do it. I keep waiting for the breaking point, but maybe we're already there and nobody's willing to say it.

Not just to the culture, but to having a direction that makes sense. All these reorgs and layoffs feel like they're just propping up the stock price. Because I sure can't see any other purpose.

Union - 27% (24,270 = CWA + IBEW)
India + EMEA - 11% (9,890)
Non-union - 62% (55,290 incl engineers, customer reps, sales and juicy Management fat @ BR)
Verizon Total - 89,900

Union - ~69% (8,700 = CWA + IBEW)
Non-union - ~30% (3,780)
Frontier Total - 12,600

Assuming the unions cannot be touched, is it reasonable to expect future cuts to be amongst the (55,290 + 3,780 = 59,070)?

**Based on all the chatter, assuming a 15% hair cut that equates to ~8,860

Big cuts in Calgary and the field came and went. Some folks were put on four months working notice after close of the Keyera transaction close- which is supposedly going to be April 1 2026. Excellent morale destroyer! Way to go Wi---e!!!

My understanding is that the cost to repair the building on Veterans was cost po rohibitive given the dwindling employee population. The building is failing in many ways. Unsure why they spent so much money to fix it up in the last ten years. I understand they had the information for at least 15 years. This is a structure issue as much as a "no butts in chairs" issue. But they probably don't want anyone to know that. The building will either be sold to someone who doesn't care about the building issues....or knocked down for new development. Which is also kind of iffy....given the continued drop in employees. Also heard....Atlanta is likely going to close.....makes sense...no parking...no way to access the building...and a difficult employee force....hmmmmmm

Maybe two at the most. It's losing credibility, which is resulting in shrinking ratings, which leads to layoffs...rinse and repeat until nothing is left but a shell of once respected news organization.

This organization looks very strange, I mean the domain merger and the fact that VPs report to VP. On top of that, there are strange creations like Tech Mod, a lot of in-house solutions and a lot of lazy engineering dinosaurs in various positions from Sr Dir to Engineer level, on the other hand, the huge layoffs can destsbilize engineering teams and stability of systems/infrastructure for Nike business.

Are they legit or just a way to get rid of people without paying them severance? Is there a point in trying to "improve," or not?

Our stores haven't been doing well. I think because food prices are so high and now gas has gone way up, people are cutting way back on non-essentials.
I thought we'd be fine this year, but more layoffs are happening. I would suggest finding a more stable company.

The most productive, most liked because she's always helping others, the most knowledgeable person on our team, the person who made our manager look good was laid off. So tell me, if all of that didn't save her, then what's there to do to be safe? The answer is simple, nothing.

Legitimately sickening that he is making millions while overseeing years of layoffs and decline. Make sure to vote against his pay in the proxy voting! Since apparently TRP is too chicken sh-t to send out an employee survey for the last 4? 5? years, this is one way to let your voice known.

Sad, but expected. Sorry don't want to say more.
5 out of 12.

RSUs is vested and showed up in accounts already
submit 2 week notice soon :)

Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone.

For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of yourself. But it’s also a moment to reflect, especially when younger generations have often been labeled as less committed or less invested. When they were just more optimized. You should have been learning from them.

This is the reality of 2026. Nothing work related is special about any of us.

My heart goes out to those who are out of work. There is something here for all of us to learn.

AC actually understood the product and knew how to protect it. I vividly remember him jumping in on earnings calls to take product-related questions over MP and TE.

Now we literally hand entire NFL sideline teams Panda Dunks to wear en mass on national TV. When did it become cool to wear something that everybody can have?

Speaking of, I hear we're about to ki-l another franchise out of desperation - the AM90... in the most iconic colorway. What are we doing here??

It's not all about juicing short-term revenues to hit quarterly targets. EH deserves better from his 2nd in command.

What are things you want everyone to know about this crazy company?

We need a union & this wouldn’t be happening. 7 from my team (including myself) were laid off yesterday. Lame Teams meeting, call muted, read from a script, no emotion, on/off in 7 minutes total. 14 years of dedicated service to our customers gone!! They don’t care. We are just a # and they want more $ to pad their own retirement plans and bank accounts. Sickening!! It’s time to expose what we know…

For anyone that thinks you aren’t replaceable, ponder this:

How many employees does UHC/Optum ‘really’ need to run business for jobs that can’t be automated or OGS to complete? C&S (Community & State) and a few E&I (only if US employees are required per their contract).

Whatever your answer is, cut that in # in 1/2. Once cuts are complete in Q1 2027, remaining US FTEs will be doing the work of 2-3 employees. Think not? It’s already happening.

A few questions:
How many layoffs have occurred in 2 years? How many teams disappeared?
What happened to their work?
Which depts absorbed it or was it considered irrelevant?
How many GL30+ have left in 2 years?

There has been whispers for the last 18 months of at least one of the Irish sites closing to cut costs. But only one of them is actually owned (Limerick) and Cork still has manufacturing which leaves Dublin on the cutting block perhaps. Anyone else heard similar?
