#layoffs

For a large corporation exxon is the run worst. I truly hate the place and people at exxon. The toxicity, gossip, underhanded backstabbing, favoritism,neopotism and extreme bureaucracy are impossible to tolerate. Promotions are based on who you are and how much the supers and managers like you. If you are a snitch also helps with promotion as well. Employees who move up on the backs of others. I have never worked at such a vile, disgusting and evil place in my life. I am on the way out as my ranking is dropping but I don't care. I was constantly told I needed to work harder or longer hours so I did sometimes 60 hours per week. It was never enough though. Meanwhile other employees only worked 35 to 40 hours per week. These others were protected individuals. I was given a good rating while the protected got excellent. It is a totally unfair and rigged system that I am sick of. I am leaving to join a smaller company at 2/3 the pay off exxon. The insurance is better and I get the same amount of vacation. The working environment is not toxic and the employees are happy. There is no forced ranking or pds system. I tolerated 8 years at this he-l hole and cannot take one more day at it.

Can we stop these micro layoffs and just do a big one and call it a day? The anxiety of the impending due does not help morale.

Big round today and tomorrow affecting all sites but especially North America after a previous round in December. Robotics BU shut down in December, Machine Vision hit hard today, Software BU coming up, tough times…

Me and another co-worker got layoff last months.

Through the rumor mill ….. protocol and AM are next. Their leaders will tell them they are safe and no way WRS can do what they do….. lies. All lies. Whole place is lies.

Happening this week, could be as many as 200 heads, doing it same week as earnings call, will be announced as a restructure charge, likely effective immediately or with extremely short notice once you’re notified, good luck

I saw a post earlier in here that layoffs were going to happen this week, but I was under the impression it was going to be in march. Does anyone have any updates on that?

It looks like a lot of the comments under the post are about NY, but will that extend to other areas of the company?

I know there are people active on this site that have been helpful as we’ve faced these recent layoffs.
I’m curious if they, or anyone, has credible information on the strategy here. It seems this past round had a large focus on remote, performance review, and a bit grading. Is there a magic number of reduction we are aiming for? Or a magic number of remote workforce?

Also says that things will stabilize for the next couple of quarters.

TIFWIW

I can't believe they waited until the end of the day to start the walkouts. 3 so far when they got to me. I hope they can actually afford the severance they offered.

...right? Someone here knows. Come on, give us the intel.

WARNAct website shows a filing again in april time line Layoffs agian ?

Was laid off last Wednesday with the rest of the team. Was told HR would help with finding employment and it was encouraged to communicate with hiring managers. How can I communicate without slack/internal email? Also, I need remote employment and none of these other jobs offer remote. They simply don’t care about members and their own employees. So much for the culture and leadership. This place will go down. It is just a matter of time!

I am hearing we could see some major cuts tomorrow.

Heard that big layoffs are coming in next couple of months ..
And one more round before the end of financing year .

"Reduction in workforce" dropped around 15-20% of their employees at the Chandler, AZ. Advantest Location and Fremont, CA..

Is there any truth that an EIPP will be offered to coincide with the management RIF?

They gave us 90 days to find an internal role. This period is with base pay and benefits. Then 3 months severance package.

Any info on when the fun will begin?

Bank First will lay off 47 employees in the coming months. This action follows its recent acquisition of First National Bank and Trust.

According to the Employment Security Department (ESD), 2,198 Seattle-area employees were among the approximately 16,000 roles cut. Amazon first announced the layoffs on Jan. 28.

Can we assume the cutting is done for a few weeks at least, or should we still be on high alert?

Did I miss something? Was this announced? Expected? I feel sick to my stomach because I honestly had no idea this was coming today.

Amazon is closing all its Fresh and Go stores nationwide. This decision will result in 516 layoffs in the Sacramento area. Three local stores in Roseville, Citrus Heights, and Elk Grove are affected.

Is it true that construction is the next big hit coming? Heard it was???? Anyone have any news or rumors?

Zipcar will no longer maintain a separate corporate headquarters location at 35 Thomson Place, and the corporate roles based at that location will be eliminated.

It took a while. The financial turmoil is going to reveal a lot about a decade of corporate failure to strategize. I suspect we'll also discover that discarding human capital, treating people as a low-value input, has always been the stupidest mistake, driven entirely by short-term greed. A textbook example of cutting the branch you are sitting on.

Writing on the wall for GVS and mid market reps RIP

Eight Michigan employers announced plans for 1,707 layoffs in January. General Motors accounts for the largest portion, cutting 1,140 Detroit workers. GM cited a production schedule adjustment due to slower electric vehicle adoption. Other companies include UPS, Post Consumer Brands, Utz Brands, and Yanfeng. These job cuts are based on Federal WARN Act notices filed with the state.

Dow managers will decide who to lay off based on complex factors like personal disputes, retaliation, maintaining dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often stemming from cycles of stupidity , lack of opportunity, trauma, and loyalty, with layoffs often escalating through social contagion and misidentification in social networks.

Mettiki Coal issued a WARN Notice for its Mountain View Mine. The company plans to lay off all employees and cease operations. Nearly 200 workers will permanently lose their jobs. Production will stop immediately, with full closure by April 1. Reduced demand from a key customer made the mine unviable.

More than 200 different job titles are impacted, according to the filing, including analysts, engineers and technicians, as well as directors and managers.

I’ve learned the hard way over my career that stressing over a job takes a devastating toll on your health and well-being. We also know performance has little to no impact on who gets laid off. Believing you can curry favor by working yourself raw, only to feel guilty later for not doing enough, helps no one. Do the bare minimum professionally, but don’t go the extra mile. Always be on the lookout for other opportunities. Don’t take anything personally, and stop stressing about office politics or the next potential layoff. Be good to yourself.

TX A&G department got lay offs, no more coming as of now. Happened today.

Liquidating departments as we speek

I never expected all these recent decisions and developments to lead anywhere good. I’ve finally landed an interview for a decent job. It’s not much of a pay raise, but it looks far more stable. I hope it works out, because staying here just waiting for things to get worse until the axe falls is a disservice to yourself. I’d recommend putting your own interests first. Maybe the rumors about immediate massive layoffs aren’t true, but they are coming. Oracle has become a hot mess, and we’re the ones who’ll end up holding the short end of the stick.

The philanthropic organization, formed by Meta cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, is cutting about 70 jobs, or roughly 8% of its workforce, a CZI spokesperson confirmed to Fortune.

One, two, three
Two chairs—the music stops.
Follow the decree:
One of you will drop.

Central, East, West—
You’re safest in the middle.
This isn’t a test,
Or a well-thought riddle.

Experience used to matter.
Results were once measured.
Now talent’s grown scattered,
And good work? No longer treasured.

Does it end with you or me?
Customers first, the message repeats.
Hello, goodbye—latest casualty.
One less chair—fewer seats.

Did you see the culture survey?
Breakfast and mingle with leaders.
RTO and layoffs underplay
The truth beneath the speakers.

Am I the next to go?
Be cautious of the meeting.
Does anyone know
When comes the next reaping?

One, two, three—
Only one chair left.
You’ve been set free.
You can drop the heft.
