#layoffs

the remaining restructuring budget mentioned in report is : $639M

if they target high-pay areas (US/Canada Seniors): The number of layoffs will be lower (closer to 10k–12k) because the $639M will run out faster.

If they target low-pay areas (Global Support/QA): They can easily hit the 20,000 number to reach that 30k total. - this include the 10k from late 2025 as its under the same budget mentioned in the earning reports

here is the break down
$1.6 billion restructuring programme,

Phase 1 (Done) ~10,000 layoffs , $961M - this was late 2025

Remaining
Phase 2 (Now March-May) $639M

if they layoff from low paying areas then yes 20k is still to go , if its higher paid areas
then number will be lower , will see

so, after Boise, which site is next on the list to close?

Is 3/19 still the next big round? Any insights on which parts of Optum? Specifically anywhere is Optum Health/Care?

As CX was down over the past quarter by 1%, what do you think the probability of layoffs in TAC occurring would be? Furthermore, has anyone heard anything about layoffs in TAC after the most recent earnings reports?

This company is begging to be sold, but these Execs have ruined any and all value. The weird old CEO is way over his head. All he knows how to do is lay people off. Should go to Georgia State and take an Econ 101 class. Could only help. He couldn't get into tech.

Bruyère Health plans to eliminate approximately 55 front-line positions. These roles include nurses and personal support workers. The Ottawa-based organization calls this a "redeployment process."

I just heard a commercial that made me want to puke. AT&T is promoting their 150 year anniversary. DJ said how proud he was of his father's 35 year career with AT&T and how he's been through massive technological adventures. What a joke! Stinky wants you out in less than five years; no such thing as long-term employees anymore. Zero loyalty. Fu-k AT&T!

is whether AI agents implemented over the last 6 months will get laid off too? And in what order? Eg,

• Expensive US based employees first
• then EU
• offshore/outsourced workers next
• AI agents, once nobody else is left

Anyone here anything about layoffs that happened this month?

Guys… those rumors everyone’s been whispering about? They’re actually happening. Tomorrow there’s an emergency all-hands at 10 UK time where they’re dropping the news on how the reorg is smashing EMEA. Brace yourselves.

Are VSPP offers enhanced any or are they just regular layoff/severance package rates?

Have there been any offers to anyone other than Techs?

Akron Public Schools Superintendent Mary Outley proposed a new budget plan. This plan largely avoids staff layoffs. An earlier proposal included laying off three dozen staff members. Savings are found by cutting open positions and delaying purchases. One art therapist will be laid off, and six dean roles become part-time.

Fresno Unified plans to cut at least 200 certificated and classified staff positions. District officials, however, expect almost no employees to lose their jobs. Impacted staff will have options to bump down or move to alternative roles. The district faces an $88.82 million deficit this year. A union leader suggests using $81 million in discretionary funds, but the CFO states these funds are already committed.

Anybody have any updates on layoffs or VSPP offers for outside techs now that the fiber is gone? Being as short handed as we were when I retired in December I can't imagine they would but the people running the show aren't exactly the smartest people in world.

Feeling Optumistic yet?

A WARN was issued Jan 1 2026 for layoffs on March 16 2026 https://www.warntracker.com/?company=ukg

Probably be a sign for more layoffs in the coming week

Any news on upcoming layoffs. In our market, we have some organizational changes. Where there’s a small team and a large team under one supervisor that’s supposed to have different roles. One team will be working on building a program. The other team would continue to do what they’re doing. Thinking this may be a sign that they’re going to eliminate an entire team.

I wish I was told before hand that things were this bad for me , instead of just things seemingly to be okay.

Now I have no job/ no income and the job market is not great.

Most of what India does can be replaced with AI agents.

Nike Leadership finds a way to fail and lose shareholder value everyday...

I've been doom scrolling and reading all articles on Oracle and LE - and there are MANY right now - and I'm starting to worry that we're not being told everything and when cuts start, it's going to be much worse than we expect. LE is trying to do too many things at once and we might be the ones having to pay the price of it.

I hate the fact that even a record-breaking game launch can't save us from layoffs. What does it take, then? What the fu-k does it take not to get shown the door?

Can't seem to get questions answered. Leadership doing the information trickle method, like the government does with bad news.

Will quotas be dropping since retail partnership is severing?

Right now quotas in SMB are near equal (sometimes more) than mid-market due to retail traffic.

Eliminating that and dropping the base down more than 50%, surely quotas are dropping (in a perfect world)

Mid-Market opportunities yield much larger deals, SMB opportunities yield small deals.
So more calls, more meetings, more closed deals to equal the same or similar quotas doesn't seem logical.

An old VZ coworker used to say Verizon may have logic and they have reason but never logic and reason together.

We all know that RTO was a completely political kissarse move and not a decision based on any facts but I am completely over it!
I'm in the office more days now than before COVID except now I don't even have my own assigned desk. We promote homeownership and affordability but treat employees like we are vagrants having to pack up our entire work life and take it home everyday and then hope we get a desk tomorrow. One that isn't covered in food crumbs from the person yesterday because they aren't cleaning these desks and the desk wipes are out more often than not!
Now that Trump had destroyed gas prices, between the cost of tolls, gas prices rising, the constant fear of layoffs, and hours in traffic, I'm being pushed way past my limit. I'm naturally a high performer but that's about to change. Being asked to do more work with less resources, all while being forced to come into an office just to sit on Teams Meetings all day is the d-mbest thing Pulte has done to date.
And, unfortunately, it's an employers market, so he can get away with it. #burnout #FDT

It's down to $25 usd. That's a 28.8% 6 month low.

Someone in ELT is going to push the layoff button because they don't have any other buttons.

I am "offboarding" this wonderful place in the US.

Of course, the links to the offboarding processes do not work or time out.

All I really care about is COBRA (they can take their surveys and shove them).

Has anyone that has recently ejected priced US High deductible family COBRA plans?

If so, what was the cost?

As CVX price and bbl go up with the multiple conflicts, will that save us from additional layoffs?
Or is this short term?

Will cuts begin before or after the merger is finalized?
