#layoffs

Is that true?

I'm at three now. Each one felt like the end of the world at the time. And each one taught me the same lesson, that you're just a number to them. No matter how hard you work, no matter how much you give, they'll cut you if it fits the spreadsheet. Sad but true.

OEM got hit today

Now its not just I.T. feeling the pain , and navigators are mostly remote

Just remember this is a reminder for you to get on your knees to your RIF overlords and thank them for the job you still have and a reminder what an absence of a job feels like. More psychological fear mongering wrapped up as "FIS Gives". Crickets all over the company, no real plans, no roadmaps, no clear direction. More RIFS to come, stay tuned.

Since raises have not appeared for multiple years I am adjusting my hours to give myself an hourly rate increase while I continue to look for a new job. I recommend you do the same.

When is the next lockout? As company profits and executive compensation soars the workers just keep getting squeezed

Congrats to the lucky 10 people that won a TSHIRT!!!!!

And the runners up that won a bag of candy filled with all kinds of unhealthy cr-p!!

What a slap in the face

I was moved under a new director earlier this year and she acts like a narcissistic bulldog that has had too much coffee. Constantly yelling on calls and on the floor, making people feel stupid, and challenging all sorts of work things that don't impact her group, and just an bad vibe all around. always loud and angry.

I'm looking for jobs elsewhere but its not easy, and I doubt HR would do anything if I Iogged a complaint (other than get me laid off next, trying to avoid that as much as I hate working here).

Hoping that Saint Louis no longer being a hub gets me reporting up to someone else soon but nothing has happened since the announcement last year. Anyone hear anything recently on the folding up of ops in saint louis??

large global layoff soon around 20,000 employees

No other company out there subjects it's employees to this kind of stress. Sure there are layoffs and restructurings but they are one time thing and once they happen, people go about their business and lives. Fannie Mae on the other hand has been laying off for a year and a half now. With no clear communication to anyone. How fu---d up is that. Incompetent buffoons and morally bankrupt leadership throughout. Disgusting.

Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!

What a joke. Swore up and down that there would be no changes and he wants stability then immediately lays off hundreds. Time to leave

How is FIS getting around filing WARN notices in states with all these rounds of layoffs? I know there're legal issues in Washington state after layoffs last year but I am amazed that no WARN notices have been filed this year (Wisconsin). It seems the March & June layoffs should met the requirements for a state notification. Anyone know more about how they are getting around this?

HR to managers - don’t bully reps into thinking they have to be here 100% of the connect weeks. The requirement is they have to be here 50% of the connect weeks.

Managers to people - per HR you need to be in the office 100% of the time or HR won’t give you a bonus.

HR to managers - no that’s literally what we told you NOT to do. Also don’t blame us.

HR to managers - let’s try this again, we’re going back to the office full time. No assigned seating.

Managers to reps - the higher powers of being decided they want all the sociology majors to quit so they don’t look bad by firing them. We’re working on a seating chart.

Months later

Managers to reps - ok we have your assigned seating come find where you will sit. Also remember there is officially “no assigned seating”. Just remember this is your desk and you cannot sit anywhere else.

That’s it? Does this mean we’re still in talks with Stripe because my understanding was some actual RIF’s in the thousands were coming.

lets all just stop working and spend hours setting up mini golf courses around the building. and spend hours playing mini golf. has this ever been done?

Based on Shankar’s email, can we conclusively assume that layoffs are done for TPG at least? It seem to hint at that direction I would say.

All these layoffs are unnecessary. The only reason they're doing it is to keep artificially inflating the stock price. Greedy mother F@#$&@$!!!

Kraft-Heinz and Disney just partnered… former PEP leaders…Hershey has two former PEP execs.. thriving…so what do we make of this?! Seems like strong leaders are thriving once they leave here. Will the PepsiCo BOD wake up?!

This is embarrassing, but I didn’t have any job lined up, so I had to choose PIP while actively searching. I found this website and others experiences... they completed every PIP task and still got terminated. Is it really out of my control?

Stock was crushed because free cash flow is weak. Translation .... no more buildings to sell, not enough free cash anymore to buy back shares, component costs hitting margin, lack of innovation has resulted in stale comiditized products.

The only way to increase cash flow now is a massive layoff.

It has already started. People are dropping like flies in India, just vanishing from the office and address book. In Palo Alto, directors have been presented with a list of names in a closed-door meeting last week, but lower-level managers know nothing.

Here's what I think about the US timing:

We have an all-hands on Wednesday. They will probably say something about job cuts.

Our dictator-in-chief will swing by for his "Coffin Talk" on Thursday. He will do his normal routine about profits, AI, and money, and avoid the subject of job cuts unless asked. Then he will neither accept nor deny (typical Hoc).

After he flies back to Castle Dracula, the US layoffs will begin on Friday ( 9/11 of all days) though anaonomous 9am zoom meetings.

This will likely be a rolling layoff through the fall until December.... after that, we will get the regular smaller-scale cuts through 2027.

Good luck everyone... God be with you.

Because all I have seen are Directors and below let go or impacted. But the ones that planned it out seem to still be here. The org chart looks like a broom now instead of a pyramid.

Im one of the Sales representatives that are being let go on October 2nd. Im in northwest Missouri. They are also expanding my territory into Iwo and more stops in Nebraska. I have over 30 years of experience with this game, and I'm totally sick of this!! They're running this crazy business in the ground!! Never had enough help and they always say they're looking and recruiting but always the same answer! Can't find anyone!!

Over 100 hourly people laid off today. Smaller number of salary laid off today.

So they got rid of all us retirement age folks good luck with Sam Mehta what a statement on the first month of taking the helm. Et tu Brute?

There was a recent director meeting which was stated "we have to many sales manager" expect cuts here.

New company purchased as I see more layoff posts on LinkedIn and numerous posts from India about just getting hired (as well as interns accepting roles).

New company is Ai related so at least they know stuff.

Any official layoff news apart from ongoing regional studies?

Sometimes I can’t tell if this company is a giant parody or not. Whoever is leading TA/HR is missing brain cells

I heard they hired a lot of the Sellers that got let go. Anybody know anything about them? Are they any good (to work for)?

Georgia-Pacific Gypsum LLC will close its Tacoma facility in October, resulting in the layoff of 120 employees. The company filed a notice with the state detailing the permanent closure of the plant. Affected workers will receive at least 60 days of pay and benefits as required by law. The positions being eliminated span various roles, including production, maintenance, and supervisory staff. Some employees may stay on temporarily to assist with the shutdown process.

TScan Therapeutics is significantly reducing its workforce by 75% to reallocate resources. The company is pausing its hematological and autoimmune programs to prioritize preclinical solid tumor initiatives. This strategic shift aims to advance its solid tumor pipeline and seek partnerships for its paused programs. The decision was influenced by insufficient capital for ongoing trials and a recent collaboration termination. These changes are expected to extend the company's financial runway.
