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.

Would someone be kind enough to monitor Slack's #General count?
I am ex-Oracle and have no access.

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

If anyone is impacted today from Ireland can you say what dept you are in just so we can have an idea

So many rumors that today is the day for Ireland with numbers ranging 170 to 450

I'd say the 170 number seems more realistic

If nothing happens today I'm going to put it out of my mind and just continue on with my day to day at work

Living with this constant dread and threat hanging over us is absolutely draining and it's ruining my mental health

It seems like for people working at T-Mobile layoffs are not a matter of "if" anymore it is "when" because sooner or later it will be your turn. They like making people work under that fear. All these gimmicky chit and benefits when the ship is clearly sinking.

September’s layoffs will be fu--ing brutal but don’t worry, Nike’s galaxy-brained leadership will graciously ‘support’ you all the way to the exit, then congratulate themselves for showing empathy.

Rumor has it that IT is due for another round of layoffs. Does anyone Dir+ know what teams or functions they’ll be targeting or timeframe?

• Long Beach faces a major budget shortfall: The proposed FY2027 budget seeks to close a $58.2 million deficit by eliminating 483 positions—263 filled and 220 vacant—along with cuts across city departments and services.

• Top officials are still scheduled for raises: Mayor Rex Richardson’s salary would rise by $5,763 to $198,086, City Manager Tom Modica’s by $11,487 (3.01%), and City Council members’ salaries by about $1,829 each. Many increases are mandated by the City Charter, contracts, or labor agreements.

• Department heads are getting raises while their departments lose positions: For example, the Fire Chief is budgeted for a $7,392 raise while Fire faces reductions equivalent to about 33 positions, including the proposed elimination of Fire Engine 14. Library, HR, emergency communications, and technology directors also have higher salaries budgeted alongside staffing cuts.

• The mayor and city manager say they’ll donate their increases: Richardson says he will donate his $5,763 increase to libraries and community organizations, while Modica says he is donating his entire $11,487 increase; Modica already donates money from previous raises toward homelessness efforts.

• The raises have become a “shared sacrifice” issue: NBC4 asked all nine councilmembers whether they would decline, delay, or donate their raises. One councilmember said the City Charter prevents simply declining the salary increase, while seven did not respond by the deadline. The mayor’s and city manager’s donations are tiny relative to the $58.2 million deficit, but the controversy centers on whether senior officials should share in the sacrifices imposed by layoffs and service cuts.

Has anyone heard any intel on layoffs or restructuring in September? Will it impact everyone? Or is this just the ongoing rumor?

Layoffs and work transferred to offshore. No new software development effort. Company is in "keep lights on" mode. No new hiring in US. Only transfer of India employees on L1 visa allowed, and that too in rare and extreme cases.
There will be wave after wave of layoff coming up. Employees at staff level are just numbers. Executives level don't care anything other than their bonus.
We are all stuck in mud, waiting our day to get riffed.

When layoffs start again in Verizon anyone know?

Dozens of reserve firefighters in South Tucson received termination notices via email. This action follows the city's decision to partner with Rural Metro for fire services. Some affected employees expressed feelings of deception, stating they were not directly informed of the changes. The transition meant these part-time firefighters, who relied on the income, lost their positions with little notice. The city maintains the department's branding will remain the same despite the operational shift.
