#layoffs

Another surprise layoff that impacted the Support organization in the US and EMEA.
Almost all (if not all) of the Technical Support Specialist/Technical Support Agents got axed.
Technical Support Engineers got impacted in every vertical except Platform.
Each team is now down many members (my team down 4) and we are scrambling and wondering how to handle the excess workload and power apps that got their whole team cut.

So much for the promised "better communication" from leadership last year. What a joke.

Does anyone realize once you are laid off you will not be rehired. Doesn’t matter who you know. There is a systematic shift to not rehire. Make sure you are good to go for years before letting go of your job!

Dont work for this place. The anxiety of losing your job is real. Constant layoffs happening at this place. Terrible employer, no raises, no bonus, nothing.. Employer is terrible.

I'm hearing Boise Idaho, I'm in San Antonio but haven't heard of anyone here being affected it looks like SA was exempt this round but we have confirmed layoffs for SA in march

As a longtime Verizon engineering employee, today's outage is no surprise to me. In 2024, the company eliminated over 4,800 jobs in a voluntary severance program, followed by another 13,000 jobs involuntarily in 2025. Many of the people who left were senior employees who understood the network and whose jobs were to find and fix problems before they could impact customers. In their place will go an "AI" system that's not yet in place. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to restore normal operations.

Several Meta Reality Labs studios are reporting firings this week, and the studios themselves are apparently closing outright. Among those confirmed at this time are Twisted Pixel Studios and Sanzaru Games, as reports came out earlier this week that Meta (formerly Facebook) was set to cut 10 percent of its VR/AR department.

I have a feeling that everything will fall apart one fine day in the near future, seemingly without warning. You can't be averse to quality, race to be the cheapest, cut everything and do pretty much nothing else on your way to success, and still expect great results.

Firing "higher cost" employees, replacing with cheaper, less experienced people that will be kept around for only a few years.

Higher mid level "yes men" managers who just wanna make VP/SVP/ESVP.... coming up with schemes to turn a higher profit (on paper anyway) to sell to the next higher level sociopath. Many large companies operate this way and it is ki-ling the middle class.

In a WARN notice sent Tuesday to the Connecticut Department of Labor and Cheshire Town Council Chairman (Mayor) Peter Talbot, Macy’s said its fulfillment center buildings located at 475 Knotter Drive and 181 West Johnson Ave. in Cheshire are closing and 993 full-time and part-time positions are being eliminated.

I hope those who want out get laid off, and those who badly need their jobs get to stay. May everyone get what they need. That's all.

The letter, which confirms the company will be laying off 15% of its workforce, impacting around 500 employees, follows reports from two months ago that Playtika was preparing to lay off about 20% of its workforce, or roughly 700-800 employees. Playtika employs around 3,500 people globally, including about 1,000 in Israel.

Got the boot today, best thing every happened to me. Thank you Citi! They plan on canning everyone on Transformation projects. They said lay off are due to AI. What AI? All data exists in excel sheets and not even applications.

Citi doesn't care to truly transform anything. Only so little of consent order was done, I highly doubt they ever had intentions of completing anything. It's a show horse.

Still baffles me how complete id--ts who know nothing are always retained with zero critical thinking. No smart or good employee will ever work at citi in right circumstances. Retention is 100% for a certain type of employees

First impression, layoffs. Second impression, major outage. FAFO is all I'm going to say.

Barely two months after laying off 350 employees, including many locally, CarMax has just cut hundreds more jobs. The Goochland-based used car giant announced today another mass layoff of 230 workers at its corporate offices.

Massive outage likely resulted from layoffs. Same thing happened with AT&T.

Just heard from a friend in fraud with a C05 position that they basically laid off everyone in Boise Idaho.

I understand concerns around speaking out and facing retaliation but think about this like utilizing your right to vote. If you don’t use your voice then you lose it!
There’s nothing stopping PNC from including you in layoffs whether you use your voice or not - and let’s be honest, it’s coming. Just be smart & respectful about it…

Times are changing. Don’t let yourself be just another number.

WFC is crashing. More layoffs in next 3 months.

Just in case you thought you were safe. You're not.

TRM requests started going on....

Lately it feels like my brain just isn't firing the way it used to, which is far from ideal in the time of layoffs. I'm slower, more tired, and small things keep slipping through the cracks. I have made some changes and seen a doctor, but progress is uneven. I feel like I'm signing my layoffs notice myself.

What happened?

Today CarMax laid off 240 Home Office positions - most are long term positions.

Go figureee! After the massive layoffs we can now see the affects! Haaaaha

whats next after the stock dropping? 100's of them in the office with no work?

GoDaddy is undergoing significant layoffs that cut across multiple functions — sales, engineering, and leadership. This isn’t just a small adjustment; it’s part of a larger restructuring that reflects the company’s current instability and shifting priorities.

Employees across different levels are being impacted, from quota‑carrying sales reps to technical engineers and even senior leaders. The breadth of these cuts suggests that GoDaddy is not simply trimming excess headcount, but rather redefining its operating model in ways that will reshape the culture and future direction of the company.

For those inside, the environment feels uncertain. Compensation plans have been changing, transparency has been questioned, and now entire teams are being reduced or reorganized. These layoffs are hitting both revenue‑generating roles and product‑building functions, which raises concerns about how GoDaddy plans to sustain growth and innovation moving forward.

Externally, GoDaddy continues to present itself as a global brand with strong market presence, but internally, the reality is different: morale is low, trust is eroding, and employees are left wondering what comes next. The fact that leadership roles are also being eliminated underscores that this is not just about performance management, but about a deeper strategic reset.

If you’re considering opportunities at GoDaddy, be aware of the current climate. The company is in transition, and while it may still offer brand recognition and scale, the risk of instability is high. For current employees, the message is clear: prepare for change, advocate for transparency, and recognize that the company’s priorities are shifting rapidly.

I'm in fraud analytics and a bunch of my coworkers got pulled in for a surprise meeting today, one I was not part of and I'm extremely anxious and on edge. Has anyone heard anything yet? There's nothing out here that will pay me the same as I make and I really cannot afford to lose this job.

Procurement employees I know are being asked if they live within 50 miles of L3Harris location. It won't be long now.

I was let go last year along with 200+ people. I considered myself lucky cause at least we got an informal notice ahead of time and that allowed me time to make financial decisions. Last day of work was end of March, followed by 60 days of pay work (all the way to end of May), followed by vacation pay in June and package arrived beginning of July. So lucky, some people experience longer delays. That said, nothing prepared me for how bad the job market is. It's 1000% an employers market. I have a graduate degree, certifications, 15+ years of experience, I stay current with technology (not a dinosaur), I live in the suburbs of major city, etc yet I'm still out there. I am not the only one from my group, some are back to work but took significant pay cuts working for smaller institutions, others are doing odd jobs, others went back to do extra certifications/school, etc. So if there's a strong signal your team will be impacted, I suggest you to start looking and start saving money. It's wild out there, it's as bad or worse than the 2008 crisis. This is not fear mongering! If you have some savings and have stayed many years at citi wait for the package, its good and will give you a buffer but if you don't have a money cushion then don't wait and start looking. I will add, I have kids and no other potential employer has match Citi's health insurance (as expensive as it's) so bear it in mind.

Usually happens in January. I am thinking at least 100 million with bonus and stock award. He cut jobs. That is what his p1mps on Wall Street care about.

I see at least 50 for Krabanaugh. He got his wish. IBM over 300 a share.

When do we get our 2% Pay Rise this year.
Any Mandatory Redundancy planned for this year.

Grab your life vest, and jump ship. You heard it straight from the CEO.

Let me guess, let's promote the heckler and layoff more of the hard working smart people.

Project Managers rebadging. 90% and 10% stay as GW (for now).
Consolidation under one VP + mass rebadging + downgraded benefits usually means cost restructuring and positioning the company for a transaction (sale/spin/outsourcing). Whether the “sell off” is confirmed or not, the pattern is consistent with that kind of move.

Developers.

Congratulations to the CEO for just destroying the work life/balance at PNC. Work/life balance no longer exists at PNC. Good bye to all the talent and hard working people at this business. He has no idea what he just did to his employees.
