#layoffs

You'll see layoffs at end of Q3 followed by more targeted layoffs in Q1. You will see RTO for Jax office and others will be forced to move there or be replaced

Highly suggest not to work for CDW. They used to sell technology to consumers, and now started selling services which they are not good at either. Not a consulting company but a part seller. Don't waste your career time working for or with CDW. This company only cares about meeting profits to keep their investors satisfied, and DO NOT care about their employees. Countless layoffs based on poor performance, and out dated technology acumen/leadership teams.

Layoffs until November will be paid severance after that no payout! Hoping yo get a package so I can retire!

The layoff list was reportedly prepared starting in June and July, and it is now being referred to as "P25 Version 2." What’s concerning is that many positions in North America are being eliminated and shifted to lower-cost countries. This raises a critical question: what are employees in North America supposed to do? This feels like regional discrimination, and there's a complete lack of transparency in how these decisions are made. Previously, employees had the option to ask anonymous questions during all-hands meetings, but that feature has now been restricted. It’s hard not to wonder if there’s a hidden agenda behind these changes. Transparency and open communication are essential leaders should be willing to face tough questions without fear.
Moreover, has there ever been a consideration to reduce executive salaries many of which are quite substantial as a cost-saving measure? Even a partial reduction could potentially help avoid job cuts and reduce the overall operating cost. Doing so could also restore some of the goodwill that SAP was once known for.
Finally, assessments should be made mandatory across all roles, including for managers. Employees’ futures should not be left solely to the discretion of their managers. A fair and skills-based evaluation system is necessary to ensure accountability and equality across the board

Bumping this from @ne+1k4m2z208 for being on point.

Layoff thousands, see profits rise, isnt that basic business 101 in Wharton???

.Goldman Sachs has implemented a fresh round of layoffs that will affect 343 employees at its global headquarters in New York City.

According to an amended WARN notice filed with the New York State Department of Labor on Monday, the layoffs began on June 22 and will continue through October 14.

Per the notice, the layoffs will affect about 3.4% of the 9,965 employees who work at Goldman’s New York City headquarters.

People are starting to talk and it's making me nervous. Are we really headed for another round?

People start turning on each other, and work becomes a battlefield overnight. The saying “dog eat dog” has never fit Intel better than it does now.

There have not been any WARN notices posted in either Texas or Alaska. Is the company serious about this or just trying to get people to volunteer ahead of the layoffs.

Nineteen months later, tensions between Rosenbury and the Barnard community have reached a boiling point. Despite hailing efforts from her administration—like the completed renovation of the Francine A. LeFrak Foundation Center for Well-Being and the implementation of a long-overdue maternity leave policy—Rosenbury has also seen a tenure marred by suspensions and expulsions of student protesters, layoffs of 77 full-time staff members, and the faculty vote of no confidence she received in April 2024, the first in Barnard’s history.

The so-called “low cost country” strategy has gutted entire departments and cost us some of our best people. Moving work overseas might save money on paper, but the loss of knowledge, morale, and quality is enormous. The people making these decisions never deal with the fallout.

U.S. Steel will end production at the plant, likely in November, but it won’t lay off any of the roughly 800 workers there or reduce their pay, it said. Workers will maintain the plant so that it is operational in case anything changes, U.S. Steel said.

https://www.timesleaderonline.com/news/national-news/2025/09/u-s-steel-to-end-steel-production-at-illinois-plant-but-no-layoffs/

Everyone keeps blaming work-from-home for performance problems, but it’s not the issue. Morale has been crushed by layoffs, budget cuts, and chaotic changes. Not taking away peoples' flexibility might actually build some goodwill and help fix some of the damage.

Hey guys, if you've been laid off can you comment region/job title/team if possible?
And if in OCI that would be helpful thank you!

Sep10 4:30am UTC - Sep11 6:30am UTC totals: 190 layoffs.
September totals (except Sep01): 4538 layoffs, and 279 additions.

Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

I got confirmation that lay offs are ongoing in Pacific region, but in some countries they have a 2 week delay after the notice, while they still have access to Slack. Thus, there are more layoffs in reality which will catch up in these totals in couple of weeks.

Is October 28th still the date they’re working toward for layoffs?

It’s like the company has turned the workforce into a seasonal commodity instead of actual people. Every new round chips away at any remaining loyalty or pride in the work. Enough is enough. And if you don't know how high our hiring is, go and check. Makes no sense amid constant layoffs.

I've heard we're safe for the rest of the month, how reliable is this?

We have had cuts after cuts after cuts in the last few years. Nobody can convince me any of it is necessary. It's all about greed and we're the ones paying the price. I'm already looking for another job at a company that has actual job security - something we used to have once upon a time.

Well, the RTO purge has pretty much run its course. Anyone who couldn’t relocate, wouldn’t commute, or flat out refused to play the badge swipe game is already gone or has one foot out the door. That was the whole point, force attrition without paying severance. Mission accomplished.

So what now? The RTO hammer can’t keep falling because there aren’t many left to force out. The novelty is wearing off, and the execs can’t keep blaming remote work forever. Sooner or later, the whole RTO obsession will fade into the background, and we’ll be right back to the good old AT&T tradition: cyclical layoffs every 6 months.

That’s the real playbook. Not collaboration. Not culture. Just headcount reduction on a timer. Watch, the headlines will quietly shift from “RTO enforcement” to “restructuring” and “realignment.” Different buzzwords, same outcome.

RTO was never about making the company stronger. It was a temporary stick to thin the herd. And now that the herd is thinned, the machine goes back to business as usual: cut, shuffle, repeat.

How is this RTO thing even "news"? This was already announced and widely covered months ago.

I was a victim of the layoffs today at JRC. And I don't understand why management is not telling the truth about another round of layoffs in November. An employee in HR told me two weeks ago that FE/RDXT is closing down in November. And when I call another employee in a different area, he said the same thing. They just don't know if they want to lay them off or move them. If you look at the order book, all of the orders stop in October. The manager told everyone that there area wasn't involved in this round. Why isn't he being truthful. The even put a new PGL in there, just to have the area close down. All of these guys lives are being impacted by lies.

Heard from a colleague in EMEA that they are being laid off, others affected too. Is thus just within ISG?

Also heard AMG have a hiring freeze into 2026...more job cuts looming there too...

Qorvo is burning through money. Layoffs are coming.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our operations due to our acquisitions and certain other operational activities (2026 Restructuring Plan). The total estimated restructuring costs associated with the 2026 Restructuring Plan are up to $1.6 billion and will be recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our condensed consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred through the end of the plan. We recorded $415 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the 2026 Restructuring Plan during the three months ended August 31, 2025. Any changes to the estimates of executing the 2026 Restructuring Plan will be reflected in our future results of operations.

Here’s how it all went down. I was on vacation at the beach, sipping a piña colada, when my manager sent me a text message saying it was an emergency and that I needed to get back to her immediately. I couldn't believe it. Was I really that important? Feeling a rush of self-importance, I replied, "Yes, boss, how can I help?" She then sent me a Zoom link.

I joined the meeting with my camera on so she could see how hard I was working - taking calls at the beach like a LinkedIn entrepreneur on the grind. However, I was surprised to see my skip-level manager on the call, complete with the classic Oracle fake office Zoom background. That's when it hit me: I had read stories on thelayoff.com about situations just like this. I was about to get laid off!

Thinking quickly, I decided to flip the script. Half-drunk, I blurted out, "I’m sorry to inform you that your positions have been eliminated. You will receive an email from HR shortly." The women on the screen widened their eyes in shock, and as they began to protest, the AI system took over and promptly shut them off. Their desperate cries echoed in my ears, and I couldn't believe it. I checked my Slack, and they were gone.

A few days later, when I returned to the office, my peers told me how our managers had indeed been laid off, and their anguished cries still echoed during subsequent Zoom meetings. And here I am, still in disbelief. Now, the last round of my RSUs will vest this month, and with the stock price where it is, I can retire and spend the rest of my days sipping piña coladas at the beach.

Just remember, if you find yourself about to be let go, flip the script, and daddy AI might just rescue you.

Beginning of 2026, the workforce reduction will be 10% globally.

stock falling to double digits, forget double digit growth. Too many SVPs with no work from GBS fired, yet no difference. some one in leadership should ask, instead of bull dozing on the employees, what is the company doing to grow and make life better.
layoffs, forcing people to do mundane work, no innovation, what more?

Owens Corning, a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing company, confirmed it would be laying off a large portion of its staff in Utah.

The Utah Department of Workforce Services’ pre-layoff notification service lists 67 expected layoffs at its Nephi location. The date of the anticipated layoffs is Oct. 27, 2025.

I’m from Ansys, this entire acquisition has been terrible for morale. We’ve had little to no layoffs in decades operating along, even when we acquired other companies. Ansys was performing fine with no signs of layoffs and record breaking quarters without Synopsys. We’re less than 2 months in to the acquisition and are likely losing half of our staff.

Sassine's first act as ceo has been a terrible one, at least for the resources at Ansys.
OP: @ct+1k4r879jw

This. And now we are all going to pay the price for the acquisition, especially the Ansys people.

Novo Nordisk is cutting some 9,000 staff across its global operations in a bid to generate around $1.25 billion in annualized savings through 2026.

The layoffs amount to an 11% headcount reduction, according to BMO Capital Markets.

Wondering what the latest round of lay-offs generally paid out.

Is Optum going to ki-l our business? Should we all be looking for new jobs?

Total 2,035 headcount reduction

5 countries headcount got the most impacted

USA 763
China 328
India 294
Brazil 59
Malaysia 43

Wow! Payday for Larry Ellison! CK and DA are watching
