#layoffs

There is some rumblings going on anyone have information

Those who avoid being laid off might be considered lucky, but think about it. These layoffs will be huge. Teams will be losing multiple people. Who'll be doing the work they used to do going forward, since it certainly not going to disappear? People are about to have their workloads double and their pay remain the same.

Following the purchase of HVAC business Johnson Controls this summer, the Bosch Group confirmed “a workforce reduction of around 200 jobs” in Wichita happened on Tuesday.

For the past five years at least it's been one bad thing after another. Why can't something good happen, for once? Why is it always layoffs and lost benefits and other similar cr-p? I really, really hate this place.

I'm thinking if it was happening today, we'd have heard something about it by now, right?

History doesn't repeat, but it does have echoes: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/03/10/target-layoffs

Good luck to all who wish to keep their jobs (and to those who hope to get laid off to get some paid time to search for something else).

HP/Poly is undergoing a significant restructuring, resulting in extensive layoffs that notably affect senior and higher-compensated roles. This strategic shift carries a substantial risk of eroding trust with key customers, partners, and channel stakeholders, potentially impacting Poly's market position and service delivery.

Let’s continue to pay for extra directors, extra seniors to work from home.

Then let’s talk about layoffs for the people who actually run the company.

Does anyone know if we are done with the current round of layoffs or should we expect more notifications coming in the following days? When we will know if we are safe or not until the next round?

Obviously if you got this "error" email, you are on the layoff list.
If you got the email before 8am CST then get your resume polished. If you got it after, then you are probably ok. They sent some extra ones out to throw us off the scent. HR is putting all their braincells together to cover this up.
It went to your personal email.

I’m greatly disappointment in this company for sending an email encouraging employees to sign up for their annual benefits knowing most won’t be here in 2026. It feels incredibly insensitive and tone deaf. I understand that this is business, but we are also human and that should come with some sort of empathy.

did layoffs happen in Oct?! In September I had so many people I knew get laid off but last week when I thought we were going to have layoffs, I heard nothing!

The Comcast bloodbath has begun; knowledgeable and tenured employees are being slashed with no plan to capture or transition their knowledge. Many jobs are being cut, then re-posted with lower salaries and greater demands, or being moved to offshore sites. Severance packages are demonstrably stingier than in the past. Thanks to the "Big Beautiful Bill", Comcast has a windfall in tax breaks. Kudos to all the fools who still believe in "trickle down" economics. I wonder who Comcast. Amazon, Meta, etc. will sell to when the American working class is eliminated entirely?

Trying to ease the anxiety over here - good to know what's down the road for us. No way Deerfield can handle the OPO overflow. Parking lot is full most days. Earlier someone posted expected layoffs of 400 in January. Does anyone have any updates on this. Still January, or sooner/later? And first week of January, or later in the month? What's the pattern with previous layoff timing?

If you think we are a telecom company, think again.
BlackRock owns ~75% of T, VZ, and TMUS.
How is it possible Stankey is still CEO after the historic TMUS, DTV, and TWD blunders?
Because Stankey doesn’t work for T, he works for BlackRock (“the board”).
When Stankey fu---d the TMUS acquisition, T was looking to acquire them for ~40B.
Today, they are worth ~260B, you read that right.
From 2011 to 2025, TMUS shares gained 650% while T gained 20% in the same period.
Do you think still think Stankey works for T?
2025, AI is the hot thing. We are still not a telecom company, but an employment company.
T is MSFT’s bi--h, and what does MSFT want more than anything? T to embrace their massive OpenAI investment as MSFT’s customer.
As we know T execs don’t innovate if it was the last thing they do, so why would we do this?
The execs know that we have too many employees, and that they can backfill any “AI cost savings” by simply firing employees at any time because they know we have too many.

We’re not a telecom company, we’re a firing company.
We are a legacy asset like much of the F100 that only can be more profitable via layoffs, growth at T is dead and Stankey ki-led it

Coworkers open to work, saying they are let go. Was there another round of layoffs?

They tell lies to us through official channels. Remove Corwin and Donley.

I’ve been hearing a mixture of things in the forums around who gets laid off. This is what I’ve gathered:

Outside consultants, Accenture, came in to decide which parts of the business we are reducing head count in.

For legal reasons, Target can’t use some sort of metric to determine who in each part of the business specifically will get cut.

High performers aren’t safe either, but I also heard a contradictory claim that past performance reviews will be used to decide who gets laid off.

Direct managers won’t be involved in deciding which of their direct reports are laid off, since those decisions are being made at a much higher level.

They will target high paying jobs L6 and above, but at the same time they can’t seem as if they are doing age discrimination.

Tech seems to be “safe” because of attrition.

Merch org will get hit hard due to ?. No one really said why.

Anyone hear anything I haven’t mentioned?

Will there be more cuts?

Is anyone actually sleeping normally with all of this going on? I’m almost at the point where I just want it to happen tomorrow, whether I’m laid off or not, just so I can move on. This whole situation is taking a toll on my mental health, and that’s starting to spill over into my physical health too. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

HP San Diego Closure, the end of an era (the era when HP put employees above stock price).

"The handling of the closure of HP’s San Diego office has been a mess. Some people have received move or exit packages and know their last day and others have received nothing. We are being told that it is with HR and only they know. The site is closing on Oct 31 so the final date is known but nothing else is. Anyone else seeing this? This is really disappointing how badly this is being handled."

For those interested, I found the user group in Active Directory that IT uses to facilitate the walkout process and prevent system access by terminated employees. That user group had 793 accounts added to it today. A handful of those were duplicates (folks to had elevated access privileges via ADM accounts. So I'd estimate some 750-775 got walked out today.

Bumping this for info from @b4+1k844zhfv.

Hello, I recently received an offer from AWS Proserve for a Sr Deliver Consultant role and wanted to know about the team.
Few points are :

1) How stable is the team? Are the frequent PIPs and layoffs?
2) How’s the medium term future of Proserve? Are there projects?
3) Is the delivery consultant more hands on role or is it more talking?

Thanks

Let have some numbers so we can see how many more people need to be laid off this round.

Can Halliburton continue to outperform and deliver pretty impressive results with less personnel and more anxiety in the work place

The Interior Department plans to eliminate more than 2,000 positions across its headquarters, agencies and bureaus throughout the country as part of a reduction in force that officials say is not related to the ongoing government shutdown, but happened to coincide with it.

Costs went down, but so did quality. Now we spend twice as long fixing mistakes that never used to happen. Figure that.

Creative Testing Solutions, the largest nonprofit blood donor testing lab company in the U.S., notified the Texas Workforce Commission that it will permanently close its facility at 4401 Freidrich Lane and lay off all employees at the site by Dec. 12. The positions range from managers and supervisors to testing technologists and trainers.

Layoff today in JA org!

But that never happens, because they don’t give a damn about the employees or how any of this affects us.

Looks like they want to replace a lot of claims positions and coding roles with this new AI system Optum Real?

All areas in Optum insight are impacted, each team is looking at a 10-20% reduction. 10/30 is the date, but due to the number of people, may have to do it in waves.

Should know by early Nov. There is QBR on 3 Nov in Singapore. It's with HT so it's basically final by then. Mid management being trimmed.

Nearly a dozen positions that directly support students were among those eliminated in a sweeping round of layoffs at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences earlier this month, according to a document obtained by The Crimson.

Roughly 35 staff members — or about 15 percent of SEAS’ total staff — were affected by the cost-cutting measure designed to mitigate the impacts of federal actions, the document showed.
