#layoffs

Today italian office announced the layoffs of 35 people (out of 120 FTEs)

As Perrigo continues to slide despite laying off hundreds of people and affecting many families they are now advertising that they will give 52 weeks pay to anyone who stays on at the Vermont site until 2027. Considering long term employees received 1/4 of that (or perhaps nothing going forward) its shameful.

Any Allina legacy people read this? Any of the Epic people get hit yet, or was it just infrastructure(me and friends) and almost the rest of help desk?

Big companies are laying off and repositioning themselves to run more like a start up. Why? Because everyone has AI FOMO! Everywhere you look billions are being invested in AI. The work force is getting trimmed before companies understand whether or not AI can deliver on all that it's developers promise. Sending all your employees the message that they need to worry about their employment just days into your new position is not the definition of leadership. This is not how you build a winning team. The posts on this board are a reflection of Dan's leadership. You have yet to share the substance of your vision on just how Verizon will pivot. All you have accomplished so far is the demoralization of the work force. You are getting off to a very disappointing start.

I don't know if this is a company thing or a district thing but why would Walmart make Team Leads have to do an evening shift two days a week? Our store has informed all Team Leads that twice a week they have to work a 7-4pm shift and a 2-11pm shift of they have to step down as team lead. Many of our team leads, who are great, have kids or are single parents and cannot take off or find child care for this. Why does Walmart ask what days and times you can work and then make a rule like this.
Also, why does everyone in the store now have to have open availability? Again, why have me fill out a form and ask what days and times I can work and now tell me I will work when and on what day they want me too or I wont get hours. One of our best associates has a special needs child and has to take him for treatment on a certain day and a certain time. Now they have scheduled her for that day and time but she can't make it so she has been cut from 40 hours to 25 hours. Seems unfair and maybe illegal. Thoughts

I have been part of the business for nearly two decades, and it’s clear that the IT department is in need of a significant overhaul. The current approach of allowing offshore teams to make critical decisions is creating disconnects with our actual business needs.

Recently, a data engineer who had been associated with AAP for 11 years on contract was let go with very short notice. Before his departure, he was required to train other team members for several months — far beyond a standard knowledge transfer. This decision not only undermines morale but also poses a serious risk to business continuity.

From a humanitarian perspective, the timing of this decision is concerning, as finding new employment during November and December is extremely challenging. When employees feel insecure about their positions, their performance and commitment inevitably suffer.

• Irrespective of performance
• 3-6 month packages

I can’t believe how much talent will be forced out over the next year through the country studies. We are struggling for good people already and we are walking off the edge off a cliff blindfolded. It’s not if but when this will blow back.

RVP’S and GvPs are told to churn and burn all store managers and associates

Push as many people out as possible (managers included) get em out, get em in at a lower pay rate

They now want frequent turnover to keep costs down, always hiring at a lower pay rate

The quality of the person they hire does not matter as long as they are low cost

Some people won’t quit, so they increase workload, micromanaging, favoritism, ect….you see this at belk time and time again

It will only get worse

Get out if you can is my only advice

I know certain roles in RMC cannot be outsourced but curious what the rumblings are on where and when they will be doing layoffs?

Q is like swimming pool. There is an implicit honor system in a large company that people should behave professionally and with integrity and respect for each other. Instead, at Q, everyone, especially the shameful middle managers and VPs, just sh!t in the pool every chance they get. It's disgraceful. They'll do anything for a buck and job security. People who stick around get what they deserve. Its one big cessp00l.

Got letter saying there are openings to apply for. Did they let too many of us go?

I’m out. I’m a financial advisor in the cac. I feel like they have made me shove my nose up a moose an-s. I am heritage Bb&T and really thought we had something good. I am still mad about Tim and furious about Murdock (again. Seriously, the best guy in the company). I’m out. We are dropping like flies. This place is cr-p. I will say no more. It’s just bad from top down. I am out.

When do you guys think we will know lay-off numbers and timing? I am hearing >200 with over 80% of what’s left of The Woodlands office. Anyone else hearing differently?

In today's all hands meeting, the CTO pretty much said Citi will follow the lines of Amazon and Meta and will be laying off people. He didn't say specific numbers and exactly when but the message to me sounds like there will be layoffs coming.

Team of the usual suspects working on a plan to fully outsource Permian operations. Similar to Guyana SBM Model. Being close to the wellhead to be safe was never true. Timeline for change is unclear. Those in operations will be offered to switch over to third party service provider as was done previously with groups like IT and GREF with the associated cut in pay and benefits.

Anyone got their document pack yet? It’s been over a week since last pay check.

https://x.com/TheLayoff/status/1985891026205360626

Those who are on the list shall perish.

Who do we think from leadership should be on the list?

I’ll go first, Scampath.

Demolished. Down $111.00 in 18 months, with buybacks. I guess the investors just don’t trust us yet? Put the guy from Slalom in. Or anyone.

I heard the “pu”s are safe: cpu/gpu/npu

Which teams are going then? Please be bangalore!

I at one time worked in the Pro Support department for a year before I moved tf on from that god aweful job..

But I'm curious with all the layoffs in IT/tech support, is there even a US based Pro support team anymore?

I remember that one of the differences between pro support and pro support PLUS was that with PLUS, you were GUARENTEED to talk with someone in the USA.

Post Enterprise Reimagined, I am struggling in my new role. I had no onboarding, just a whole lot of department meetings with no context. My new leader has no experience in this work and spent their entire career in a different discipline. My partner in the work also has no experience in this discipline. We were thrown headlong into a project with no guidance other than, “You are smart. Figure it out.” A month later, my work was just doubled because we are short handed on our team because of layoffs. I am scared and sick and stressed out. And my leader has made it clear they don’t care. I am frustrated and angry. Anyone else dealing with this scenario? How do I handle it?

The remote workers not performing should be the first to go! WFH doesn't equal watching Jude Judy and going to the mall or getting your hair done etc. Those acting like that did put themselves on this list while those that preferred to be in the office and PERFORM should prevail as well as the WFH employees that actually do their jobs! The lazy as--s are ruining it for the legit WFH employees. Just watch! The WFH 3 days a week hurt us bad! Complacency is through the roof! We also have too many damn AD's. Everywhere I turn there's an AD making $150-$180K. It's stupid! Get Russo out!

Significant surplus coming to Caleb D org. All positions and locations currently under evaluation for surplus. All locations on the table. Being in a hub is not going to save you this time.

Looks like it’s layoff season again — folks at Truist have been getting hit last week and this week. Hope everyone lands on their feet!

Wellsfargo stock will crash soon. More payoffs to come.

does anyone know the exact numbers of each and which dept's and how many at each level ,wireless and wireline ,like real numbers?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-04/ibm-to-cut-thousands-of-roles-in-focus-on-software-growth

International Business Machines Corp. will cut thousands of workers this quarter while it continues to shift the focus of its business to higher-growth software and services.

“We routinely review our workforce through this lens and at times rebalance accordingly,” a company spokesperson said. “In the fourth quarter we are executing an action that will impact a low single-digit percentage of our global workforce.”

IBM shares have climbed this year on investor enthusiasm for the software business, which is fueled by acquired divisions Red Hat and HashiCorp. Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna has pushed the unit to become IBM’s largest business, especially as the consulting division has been buffeted in recent years by customer concerns about the overall economy.

The company employed about 270,000 workers as of the end of 2024. Some US workers may be affected by the job reductions, but employment in the country is anticipated to remain roughly the same year over year, the spokesperson said.

Getting kinda scared by the figures some folks are quoting on here…if 20 or 30% of Verizon is leaving then what does that mean for those left behind? I think some employees will not be able to cope with that amount of change and a huge shift in workload

Our team got butchered in software and we're still concerned if all notifications have been sent out and it's just waiting on the interview or if more are coming?

So Uniti lay off levels reaching a size to push Windstream employees to switch the online community group to a new URL subdomain is happening, time 2 upgrade the crew to a bigger, better telecom layoff group. Why complain to ex-co-workers with Uniti, when there are ample AT&T RIF'd doinks to gripe at. And Verison, and Frunteer, and Tmobile, and

Sincerely,

Another Ex-Circuit Jockey

American Airlines Layoffs Started Yesterday 11/3/2025

Effective immediately, Fujifilm North American Business Innovation have reduced their U.S. based staff by several hundred. All areas of the business have been affected, except ex-pats from Japan.

Fuji's U.S. operations has been hemorrhaging for the better part of the past few years with declining sales and market pressures due to ongoing import tariffs.

Keeping the ex-pats in the U.S. protects reducing personnel in Japan and abroad.

3% of 275,000 is approx another 9,000. Ouch. https://www.tipranks.com/news/ibm-plans-to-lay-off-thousands-of-workers-this-quarter-shares-fall
