#layoffs

does that mean we can officially do less than the bare minimum? I mean, hard to stay “deeply engaged” when there’s a decent chance I’ll be shown the door very soon.

After each round of cuts I stopped doing something, whether it's the overtime or the extra polishing that used to matter to me. At first I fought to keep standards up, then I realized it was nothing but self punishment. Now I guard my time and try not to let the job eat me, and I make sure to do just a bit less after every round.

An employment backbone in Momence since July 1962 is permanently closing its doors, and 318 workers will be out of work.

Baker & Taylor, a book publishing company on the city’s southwest side, made the announcement to its workers on Monday.

How sc--wed is everybody? I know every single acquisition comes with layoffs, I'm just wondering how bad it's going to get. I'm no fan of ABB but I've been reading up on SoftBank and to be frank, I haven't exactly been happy with what I've read so far.

At the end of this week? This month? I just want to be able to work without always thinking whether more layoffs were threatening my livelihood every single day.

T-Mobile is set to lay off 121 employees in western Washington, starting October 13, 2025. This decision follows T-Mobile's acquisition of UScellular for $4.4 billion, which expanded its customer base and infrastructure.

Reasons for Layoffs
The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring strategy after the acquisition.
T-Mobile is transitioning towards a more digital-focused model, potentially reducing the need for in-store representatives.
Impact on Employees
Affected employees will receive assistance from the Washington State Employment Security Department.
WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notices have been filed, which require companies to inform employees and state agencies about significant layoffs.
Future Outlook
There are rumors of further layoffs and restructuring, particularly in retail and IT sectors.
T-Mobile aims to maintain a positive relationship with regulatory agencies while adapting to market changes.
This restructuring reflects T-Mobile's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance profitability in a competitive telecom landscape.

Might be helpful.

This time my manager was laid off. That useless, d-mb weasel of a man managed to avoid every layoff so far and was even close to a promotion when this happened. I admit, I did a happy dance. That man made the lives of his entire team miserable on a daily basis, and for once, literally for once, they actually got rid of the right person. So yes, I hate layoffs, but this one I kind of enjoyed.

The SLT and legal team are experts ant appearing to follow the law while behind the scenes, discriminating on age and other attributes; anything to make the stock price go up. Real business leaders don’t layoff good loyal people during good times. Wake up world to what the Cisco SLT has been doing the drive the stock price up! We need a good class action lawsuit to make things right. Nobody in the world has the resources to stand up to the Cisco machine, but there are plenty of voices out there that want to be heard. While I doubtful that all the people impacted can coordinate a class action lawsuit, one thing I know for sure, is these SLT folks can look at their big bank accounts, but they have to live what they’ve knowingly doing to us!

Well said, @b1+1k6zc141p.

Maybe before the end of the year?

Poor MEG. I feel bad for their people. They will surely be taken over by CVE now. $8.6B really?? $17.6B to get out of FCCL. Phillips paying them $1.9B for their share of the refineries. The only thing this company is consistent at is overpaying, getting ripped off and then laying off. No wonder their stock is always in the toilet. Employees should get out now!!!! Go across the street. Go anywhere. What a dumpster fire.

T-Mobile continues the show by creating unnecessary Senior Manager positions only to back track and layoff a handful later on each year. I am honestly surprised T-Mobile employees don’t file a class action for miss leading career promises. Don’t take my word for it, wait for Q1 2026 and comment here! Any Senior Manager or RMM with low amount of stores are in question from what sources are sharing.

I heard that McKinsey will be moving on from PSBU and going to EBU. Have fun with that. If you dont know who they are I would check out John Oliver's last week tonight deep dive on them. With the slow downs in EBU (shifts being cut, layoffs, reduced work weeks) and now McKinsey, I would watch out there.

Some folks have received the memo, communication already.

Others will have the decision communicated today and in stages rest of the week.

Bob's reshuffling at the top has fueled another change, no one is immune.

If the numbers are to be believed, expect ~6k associates to be impacted

Entire 6k will not be this week but in stages, until Q1 2026

If your manager tells you otherwise, they're lying of course

How is nobody talking about this? Should I be applying elsewhere?? "Truist is undergoing internal restructuring. Sources indicate that between 500 and 700 contractors were cut last Friday in Digital and Technology divisions citing "policy concerns". Additional reductions are on the horizon, including cuts to employee benefits, further contractor downsizing, and full-time staff layoffs.'

This quote angers me so much:

“It won’t be anything special,” Chief Financial Officer Dominik Asam told the German newspaper Handelsblatt, saying the annual job reductions are “like brushing your teeth.”

It shows arrogance and lack of empathy of the CFO. These cuts mean so much to everyone affected by them. And even to those not directly affected. It affects the community of SAP immensely.

Layoffs in Spain were confirmed again today via an early morning email, following a pattern similar to the previous announcement. Thoughts are with all colleagues.

Rumor mill is swirling around the office with another round of layoffs coming at the end of October? Has anyone else heard this?

How are things right now and are there any layoffs?

layoffs are definitely coming...or happening now
where is that department ? -it is just empty space now
who turns off the lights?

Is it going to be WARN + Severance? given its a mass layoff.

Anyone hearing what areas might be impacted? So far planning and IM merging are the rumblings.

What is this FA test sent out with extreme urgency? Seams like finding reasons to layoff staff!!?

My team had a very short notice 15 minute teams call yesterday with our Sr. Manager letting us know that another different Sr. Manager on our team was no longer with the company effective immediately.

The Sr. Manager who was let go regularly interacts with our entire team so the main point of the call was to instruct us who to reach out to directly going forward for issues the former Sr. Manager used to deal with.

To all of our knowledge the Sr. Manager was an extremely high performer and was very well liked by our Director and Executive Director.

Trying to figure out if this was a one off or part of a larger batch of layoffs.

Used to work in a department of PP, they recently hired a bunch of people that live in India and then PP did a mass layoff of almost all of the US and Canada support teams, including me. I'm just frustrated.

We have been holding hands together and singing "Kumbaya, My Lord" so much for One Weatherford Week that we forgot how bad our stock and market are at the moment. Could this mean that layoffs are right around the corner after this One Weatherford Week?

Read an HR post that they were due yesterday, is that confirmed?

Was his message: We did a few layoffs to invest in ai, but it was not performance based AND our focus for the next 6 months is to integrate AI in all our code so that they can more easily get rid of us?

Layoffs are coming EOY, maybe BOY. Losing 3 out of 6 clients, along with the consistent effort of moving support off shore....

Cannot wait to see the results after laying off most the geos with proven successful exploration experience.

With all the lay offs and facilities closing, when will they off the next VERP, early retirement package? If 2nd quarter 2026, that would be 3 years since the last package. 4 years would be 2027, hope not that long.

Pulte Divisions are starting to let people go 1 or 2 at a time to avoid the mass layoff optics and attention. Employees beware.

Will the layoffs hit the GRC staff? I remember on May 2025 they announced the support will no longer be delivered to customers, so it switches on user’s responsibility. Is GRC employees included in layoffs plan?

1- You think Dell can go back to full remote for everybody ?
2- and you think that layoff can be stopped at a certain time ?

This place is driven by the top management who's only focus is to get their big fat bonus come next spring. So Bloody October is an every year occurrence for this company. Worker be where this place does not care about you.

Heinemann is getting hit HARD today by layoffs. Approximately 10 so far and the calendar invites with HR keep coming.

There are a lot of rumors going around, and it’s hard to tell what’s actually true.

I couldn’t sleep all night last night as I realized the lucky ones just got laid off with nice, little severance packages. I can’t do all this work alone on my team. I have no chance of job satisfaction with looming layoffs in the future. I’ve been set up to fail. It’s become obvious that there will be no promotions anytime soon let alone one every three or four years. We all just got neutered. Ironically…that’s what we thought just happened to all the guys who just got laid off. What a dumpster fire.
