#layoffs

Sending support, my heart goes out to everyone impacted. I’m truly sick to my stomach.

With this new wave of layoffs, are you seeing any evidence of a reduction of the number of management layers as mentioned by Enrique? Managers, Directors, etc...?

Just found out a few people that I work with from Pittsburgh were let go( cash team) This is crazy!!!!!

Based on recent organizational/Team changes throughout the company, recent executive departures, plans leaving states, hospitals/PCP going out of network ( Especially in NY) and the employee sentiment on this page, Centene feels like a sinking ship, and is sinking faster than anyone could have anticipated.

being cut from paypal was like being freed from a dumpster fire. managed to find something way better and never looked back.

More lay offs coming from commercial plans exiting

I have no hopes for tomorrow. Dell has successfully gotten rid of the people who could fix things, and this leadership is only focused on their own pockets. There's no saving this.

Nutanix has become filled with outsiders from Dell In VMware. They were worthless at their prior companies and they’re being brought over by their friends. Nutanix strives at finding new ways to pay you less. When I first started the company you had really good opportunities to make money. Those days are gone. My manager was a joke. He managed up and didn’t care about the people that worked for him. He would set one on one calls and ask you what you wanted to talk about. I didn’t wanna talk to him because he was useless. The great people have been let go one by one and the clowns run. The circus morale is in the toilet and people are looking for jobs. I wish all the people there are the best of luck get out while you can.

Well said, @3zv+1kz6hy1a0.

Some people have heard that these layoffs will continue all week, while others are hearing it will be fully finalised by COB today. Thoughts?

Were they impacted too or is it too early to tell given that this is most likely an all week affair.

what is happening in ontario
all the layoffs. seems to be in usa

lots of rumours about September layoffs, outsourcing...
who is relocating to London Costco building...
any updates?

a well planned mind fu-k? Several groups have been subjected to last minute (or are they) changes to their status. Some with RIF dates are then given different assignments within days of their change dates, some inside the company, some not. Now, the only update is that these offers are now given, allegedly, with the option to take severance or accept the extension keeping their severance offer intact. Be sure to get that in writing.

For as cr-ppy of a place to work as this place has become, I have seen a few people boomerang back, which made me curious. If you left and regretted it, what changed your mind? And for those who came back, what made you return?

Japan Airlines was $25 billion in debt. Bankruptcy declared. 16,000 jobs on the line. CEO Haruka Nishimatsu didn't call a press conference.

He cut his own salary to $90,000 - less than his pilots. Canceled the executive dining room. Took the bus to work. No bodyguards. No reserved parking. No perks. While other CEOs drafted layoff lists from penthouse suites, Nishimatsu stood in the cafeteria line with ground crew. Workers noticed.

Morale shifted. In 3 years, Japan Airlines went

from the largest airline bankruptcy in history... to the most profitable airline in the world. It relisted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2012. That wasn't a turnaround plan. That was one man choosing accountability over comfort. Lesson: Most companies don't fail because of bad markets. They fail because leaders protect themselves first.

It's not miracle that saved Japanese airlines. It's the attitudes of leaders that saved. Hope ppl notices.

Just fyi if you have DLA recently added to your MyAccess OIM Accounts it is over for you. Layoffs tomorrow 6am.

anything happening today?
last day of the month!

Are the voluntary packages usually sweeter than the involuntary packages?

It’s honestly wild, good for them buddying up with M.L. from the start and getting in his ear on who to cut, that’s worked out well so far! (For them) ….But hey smart move by HR, they all get promoted and never laid off. I’m not saying they don’t provide value overall, but I find it odd/maybe the reason that they are the kingpins of this failing company…

https://www.dundalkdemocrat.ie/news/dundalk-town/paypal-job-losses-described-as-terrible-blow-by-louth-td-8951398

I took a CST job years ago, but the company never changed my job title. The CSTs in my office are being offered a package. Is the union able to get a package for someone who was not offered the package, because the company didn’t change their title? Has anyone heard of this happening before? I am waiting for a call back from my local.

Anyone from Sweden impacted by layoffs?

Heard from someone it will be all week which is so brutal. What a nightmare of a company. I’m sure I. Cruz over HR is sleeping just fine though.

The stock is soaring. You’d expect the attitude to be high energy and people to be in full support of the company. You’d expect to see new products going to market, more hiring, more bonuses, more investment in people. You’d want free thinking people who are inventing and thinking outside the box.

It’s the exact opposite. It’s dreary, dismal and there is an overall black cloud across the company. Every email seems like it could be your last. Services are taken away from you, like coffee cups (really??), promotions to the “liked” and layoffs are happening left and right. The totally incompetent are getting promoted because they’re “yes men” and people are totally unmotivated. There is no more technical leadership, there is just no leadership. Just politicians who use buzzwords and jockey for positional power.

It’s pathetic and sad to see such an opportunity to take advantage of the hype Dell is getting and motivate your people. Reward them and support them. Greed is clearly an enemy of the people and greed is rampant at Dell. Every SVP and above have proven they are soulless ghouls who would do anything for a dollar. They seem to be missing the big picture. That they’re titled and who they are doesn’t matter to anyone. Nobody cares. In fact, they’re making more enemies than friends.

It’s a sad, pathetic time at Dell and is the worst I have ever seen it. Something needs to change or this company will crash and burn. As far as layoffs go, expect them every single month until these greedy, fat ba----ds get their fill.

Hearing whispers about possible layoffs, reorganizations, hiring freezes, or team cuts?

Post what you’ve heard below. Please label everything as unverified rumor/speculation, avoid naming or identifying individual employees, and don’t share confidential or proprietary information.

Useful details:

What was the rumor?
Which department/area was it about?
When did you hear it?
Was it firsthand or secondhand?
How confident are you?
Let’s keep this thread focused on separating rumor from confirmed information. If something gets officially confirmed, update your comment so others know.

Anyone who got impacted can you please share what are they saying in the meetings. On what basis this is being done or how long it will continue? Also which levels and orgs are impacts?

I just want it to be over with. The stress of waiting is one of the worst feelings. Time to leave it behind us.

The ideology in Citi Tampa is simple. Make Indians sit in director or SVP roles. Keep hiring Indians in h1b under them - promote those h1 Indians. No more h1 grace periods and no more h4 abuse whatsoever. Our governments message is crystal clear. Our kids spend 300 grand for their undergrad education and are jobless. Why give jobs away to outsiders and it’s a shame that our jobs have been taken away. No more exploitation in Citi Tampa.

Hearing rumors about a VLO opening up in the Spain office. Can anyone currently based there confirm? Is this connected to the recent Work From Home (WFH) policy changes?

I posted below a post a few days ago that I received an invite from my skip and HR for today. Turns out it was entirely for a layoff. Today, there was a big wave that hit me and several others at the Bangalore office. Not sure if other countries are impacted so far. Anyway, stay strong and good luck everyone, wherever you are.

What is going on?? Every week people are being tapped. Zero morale left onsite. Limerick has lost it's buzz entirely. Everyone fretting. You can feel the damn tension in the air! Dub & Cork are ye in the same boat??

Very excellent engineers have been laid off……
Businessmen like Sassine only know about profits and keep reducing his holdings of the company's stocks at low levels, which shows that he has no intention of bringing the company towards normal profitability and only has his own interests in mind.
As a CEO, such a person will cause the company to collapse

Anyone in the US getting invites for the dreaded call?

sadly, the weak stock price keeps the management and the board on edge.

Wall Street won’t spare the management, and the management won’t spare any of us.

Go luck everyone and hope that everything works out for you.
