The rumor on the street is that Germany will be hit with a 30% reduction in force. Can someone local or from EMEA confirm?

After watching most major auto companies slash jobs, it was probably naive to think we’d avoid it. But 20 percent is steep. I guess we’ll see how it unfolds, though cutting staff to make up for tariff losses feels like the easy answer, not the right one.

Heard huge layoffs in various fraud departments are coming 3/3. Apparently they're using a new location strategy as an excuse.

Can’t wait for the first level apocalypse that’s surely coming this year.

Yep. RIF today. Not sure how many, but it affected the Health/Pharm area.

Anything more?

Three of Los Angeles’ longest-serving TV anchors were abruptly laid off Wednesday as corporate owner Nexstar slashed jobs at KTLA.

The cuts included longtime weekday morning meteorologist Mark Kriski and veteran midday anchors Glen Walker and Lu Parker, along with weathercaster Kacey Montoya and reporter Ellina Abovian, according to NewscastStudio.

The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring at Nexstar Media Group stations in Los Angeles and New York.

I see some people mention they'd love to be laid off, but I'm certainly not among them. Not when jobs are this hard to come by. I'd rather suffer through a bad workplace than unemployment. But apparently, some feel the opposite. And I'm just wondering, how many of you are there?

I mean sure thank the folks you let go... Who are not able to join the meeting... Who aren't give the opportunity to retrain... Who get to enter one the harder labor markets.... Take it from these well paid folks who are getting bonuses during such strong business singles thanks...

Got laid off from the NY office a while back and only got 60 days notice. Apparently NY requires 90 days notice… has anyone experienced this ?

Nexstar Media Group implemented layoffs at its New York and Los Angeles stations. These reductions affected WPIX in New York and KTLA in Los Angeles. Roles in newsroom, production, and sales were impacted. Several anchors and meteorologists were among those let go. Nexstar is likely reducing costs due to debt.

They have done it before and WILL do it again. Then they will throw a party to congratulate themselves for doing it.

I’ve been fine up until today. Super nervous
How’s everyone feeling about tomorrow? Very stressful

The San Ramon Valley school board has a crowded agenda for its upcoming meeting. Trustees will consider affirming planned layoffs for both educators and classified staff. These reductions are due to the district’s current budget difficulties. The board will also review revisions to the district's grading and assessment policy. Additionally, community polling results for a potential new general obligation bond will be shared. Other topics include immigration enforcement response and categorizing the district headquarters as surplus property.

Heard of a few people being let go. Just wondering if there was a big layoff or only about 5 to 10 people.

Anyone have any insight to the fate of those that started at landmark, then HBMC and now Optum at Home (OAH)? SO much has been cut, not much left..has the feeling that everyone will be RIFd by EOY..any intel??

Everyone just sits around feeling unsettled all the time week after week just pull off the damn band aid and do all the layoffs at once the bad press will pass and WF will just rebound as they always do cuz they are too big to fail

After 12/19 cut I now can’t seem to access my benefits or Fsa. Also stock. Anyone else have this problem and solved it? Thanks!

Who got whacked and why don’t they let Jenn T go already

Are about to feel the digital impact. Sounds like “shut down “ conversations are underway.

Yes — **Verizon Communications has WARN Act filings listed for 2026 at its Basking Ridge, New Jersey location. Public state WARN tracking data shows two separate notices for that location in 2026 — one in February 2026 and another dated November 1, 2026 — both affecting around 1,319 employees. 

Here’s what that means:
• Yes, they filed a WARN Act notice in 2026 for Basking Ridge.
• These filings indicate planned workforce reductions that the company notified to the state.
• WARN notices give advance notice (typically 60 days) before large layoffs are carried out. 

So the answer is yes — Verizon has WARN Act filings in 2026 for that office. 

If you want more details on what a WARN filing entails for employees (notice period, benefits, etc.), I can explain that too.

Aravind/ Blanchard’s org “flattened “‘even more.

Aravind is the one leading the effort to outsource to India- FYI

Anywhere else, I'd start looking. Now.

Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

What's going on in IT? Two years ago there was one VP/GM position, the CIO, although they were approved for two. Now there are three VPs, including the CIO; the second VP position (then GM) was filled in 2024. That's a big increase in comp as VP's are a min of $850K (salary, VCIP, and RSUs), plus other benefits. I guess the recent layoffs in IT paved the way for the increase in comp for the newest VP. Welcome to the club!!

It’s getting to be that time again. I’ve been hearing rumblings about layoffs coming next month… any news?

The company is already training AI agents to work directly with techs in the field to configure routers and diagnose troubles without an engineer. Tech chats with a bot directly to configure, test and turn up a router. Whole teams will probably be gone in next two years.

This question is for people who got impacted and no longer at VZ. In regards to stock award. I got 2 of the payouts and this week was rolling into the 3rd payout which is actual shares of VZ stock. When does it actually become available? When I log on to view it it says the following

“We currently do not have vesting dates on file for this award. Don't worry, it's nothing you did. Once we receive vesting dates for this award we will make it available to you.”

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Hearing some wild news from a former colleague out of the Canadian Federal group today.
Apparently, a massive engagement was terminated or paused effective immediately, sending 200+ people back to the bench overnight.
Looks like Leadership is keeping the details tight-lipped. Anyone know if this is a sign of broader public sector budget cuts or just a specific project imploding? Seems like a huge hit even for a firm this size.
