#layoffs

3 month package, effective 30 days, US, not for performance reasons. Could you give me some advice?

Does anyone know if any departments within EFCC will be affected with layoffs due to Reynolds departure?

Don’t worry there’s about to be plenty of “open chairs” what a DB

Is everyone signing their agreements? Has anyone engaged a lawyer to review?

Any credible news about GBU layoffs in JAPAC today? P6,Unifier and Aconex?

They have started the next round of layoffs without having to pay severance. They are cherry picking which employees are allowed to remain remote and those that need to report to either Lake Mary or Pittsburgh. Failure to relocate is considered voluntary termination / resignation by the Work Together policy. It doesn't matter if you were previously approved to work in remote location... The worst is inconsistent enforcement. Many people on team remote - only certain individuals given mandate to relocate. It should be illegal to consider it voluntary termination. If you are going to layoff someone do so.

I can't relax no matter what. I'm in the permanent state of anxiety.

Had a 1:1 on Tuesday AM. It was labeled "Sync: Discussing Updates." Next thing I know, I'm read a script being laid off. I was told after this, my manager was laid off.

What the he-l are the survivors supposed to do? Quadruple their workload?

What percentage of subsurface is being cut? Hard to estimate as spread over multiple organisations (CNE, Exploration, Offshore, Subsurface etc..) Anyone have an estimate?

I think the government is more modern than Dell. The initiatives they drive to modernize are basic engineering practices that our management rejects, because our management teams at the SVP level and up have no idea about technologies or industry practices. The operational models they’ve put into place in ISG and CSG are steps backwards. They couldn’t possibly be more bureaucratic and foolish. Just huge power grabs made from people who have no idea what they’re doing and are so philosophical and unrealistic it’s embarrassing in practice.

Meanwhile you add the layoffs, cut throat attitude and poor strategy and you’ve got yourself one of the worst businesses of all time.

Dell is a company stuck in the 90s that has no strategy, poor management and terrible engineering practices. They don’t really want to modernize although they like the word.

It’s pathetic and sad.

This is ask for all Directors and Executives who got impacted by Layoff.
I've been working in Oracle for 10+ years now and I am impacted by layoff. I don't regret the layoff. One question which was lingering in my mind was despite my honest day and night contributions to the project, I was not even considered for promotion or growth.
I had been exceeding expectations of my managers/executives and each time I raised my bar level and was able to meet it. At the end of focal cycle all I got was a 2% or 5% hike to maximum which was almost equivalent to lowest performer in my team.
I even attempted to jump to another project offering a senior role but was cut down by internal recruiters saying I can't move up in lateral jumps. The project seemed like a dead-end for me and I wasn't even allowed to move to another project which looks promising technology atleast but in vain.
What was the Ego which prevented you guys from helping your employees grow. Is it typical asian mindset ? to slave one person and extract everything ?
All I noticed was some monkey executive coming from external company (Infact he was less experienced than I was) and started controlling us. He doesn't even know half of the architecture I know about org. Is this the fate ?

Yes, lot's of companies are announcing layoffs

But can anyone really understand our org structure?
What the end goal or strategy is?

Yep. A $25M office renovation in round rock. Totally unnecessary while they’re laying off thousands of people.

But they want you back in they get tax breaks because of it. POS company.

I was part of the layoff but I feel the cut was not needed in my department and it was a way for my manager to look good since we had some retirement coming up and the person did not get touched but I did and another member did. A senior member indicated that won’t get impacted.

Anyway I’m out it su-ks I worked so hard and cared. I looses sleep over this .

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs?

I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs were released.

So is the process like a shark tank? Talent Card flashes up on screen, advocate stands up and addresses the group which has your job owner in it? A bidding war erupts?

Or is this a “we will make the square peg fit in this round hole”, or a “we will fill the square hole with whatever square we can find”, or a “square holes don’t exist because all the square pegs have already been set aside”?

I’ll be ok till the end of the year, I think. I’d rather not move to H-Town as I am actively avoiding it for the time being, however it’s becoming clear the industry is centralizing there. I know…brilliant deduction.

2.5 weeks left. Unfortunately, my “open for work” will always be visible to hiring managers from now on. Loyalty is but a faint memory.

Anyone impacted in A&C ?

Really feeling down about not getting any offers for months now since Dell laid me off, severance and unemployment running low. I’d love to hear some success stories from anyone laid off this year that got new roles they’re happy with.

Coming to a pink slip near you.

Here we go again

Can somebody please explain to me how is this good for Oracle?

Sep03 total layoffs estimate for the past 24h: 408.

North America contributed less than half and layoffs there trickled down and stop first half of the day. However, other locations picked up in IDC and Pacific timezones.

Totals since Sep02: 3838

la's main homelessness agency, lahsa, will cut or reassign staff due to a 5 percent budget reduction this fiscal year. the agency faces city, state, and federal funding cuts and must act by october 15, with outreach roles most at risk. lahsa hopes to limit layoffs by moving employees into 125 vacant roles. leaders say the cuts reflect wider fiscal strains and shifting county funding plans.

Not suprised oracle is laying ppl off. They’ve done 150+ acquisitions and the same thing happens every damn time... staff bail or get cut. This Has Happened MANY Times Before!!!!! oracle doesnt care about your job, they care about tech, customers, and $$$. once they buy a company, they gut the overlap, toss people they dont need, and shove the rest into whatever buzzword strategy they’re chasing (cloud, ai, whatever sounds cool to wall street). turnover there is already huge, so add an acquisition and yeah... ppl are basically walking severance packages waiting to happen. remember sun microsystems, peoplesoft, bea? same playbook. oracle buys, oracle cuts, oracle moves on. so if you’re shocked, idk what to tell you. layoffs are not a bug in oracle world, they’re the feature. ....

You know what that means folks! Which group will get cut the deepest?

Hi All-

I’m sorry you are going through this. I worked for Walgreens for a long time and then was laid off when my family was going through unimaginable loss and grief. I promise you there are better opportunities and companies out there. Please take care of yourselves and your families.

Hi All-

I wanted to let you know that there are better opportunities out there. I was laid off and found a much better opportunity afterwards. For those that stay I hope things improve, for those that are considering leaving please know that there are better opportunities out there. Take care of yourselves and your families.

What will we be finding out 9/12-9/15? Leadership saying more to come but haven’t said what.

Would love to know if any REAL managers have insight as to how/why employees are let go versus others.

This is MY opinion so take that as you will. It's worked out for me in every job I've had and, Dell being a company that is on a 24/7/365 layoff frenzy, I'm still sitting pretty good.

If you don't want to be laid off then just be a middle ground employee. Try to border the "top performing" employees area but don't go much further than that. Be easy going, easy to get along with everyone and don't start arguments/conflicts; and don't voice any strong opinions or cause controversy. Basically, just stay as neutral as possible because the more you are "known" - for good or bad - the bigger the target is on your back during layoffs.

Managers always say "they had no choice in who to let go" - That is 100% BS unless HR/execs are simply wanting to get rid of high earners to save money. HR and execs have NO idea who you are, what you do and how well you do your job. Your direct manager does, though.

It's more beneficial to get rid of 5 people making 150-200k/year versus letting go 10 people making 50-70k/year. The math doesn't math up but you get my point I hope.

Strategically speaking, you get rid of the highest salaried low performers first, then the bottom performers overall, then if necessary, low performers in between.

Managers/directors have a checklist for layoffs that determine who they have to let go/who stays. It's more of a 1-10 type of check box but to keep it simple... Kinda how Tell Dell surveys work.

Does he perform well in his job? yes/no (1-10)
Is he easy to work with? yes/no (1-10)
Is he liked by his coworkers/others? yes/no (1-10)
Does he go above and beyond? yes/no (1-10)
Does he call in sick often? yes/no (1-10)
Does or has he had complaints against him? yes/no (1-10)
Do they volunteer to take on tasks/projects? yes/no (1-10)
Are they habitually late? yes/no (1-10)
Are they reliable? yes/no (1-10)
Have they had any write ups/coaching plans/PIPS?: yes/no - this will do it right here if you have and many/most of the answers are "no/indifferent" in the above questions.
Any HR tickets filed against them? yes/no (1-10)
Have they willfully broken any company policy? yes/no (1-10)
Have they attempted to steal confidential information? yes/no (1-10)

I made all of this up as I have NO clue but these are my guesses as to what some of the criteria would be. My dad was a sr. manager at Motorolla, Freescale and AMD for 20 years and he told me that when he did have to do layoffs, he had a "matrix" type sheet in which he'd rate employees on based on a bunch of questions; similar to the above. I'm sure Dell does it similarly.

I don't think most people are laid off at random though.

4000 RIFed times average salary of $100,000=$400M include
4000 times vested RSUs which are clawed back on an average $150,000 = $600M
Bottom line Savings of ~ $1B.

Halliburton just laid off several engineers at the Duncan Technology center 8/3/2025. No PSL was safe. The leadership at Halliburton has never and will never care about their employees.

Halliburton’s upper management motto is “faster & cheaper”

Gone in Burlington. Been in the company since last decade. Anyone else here?

Anyone know how many layoffs there were in California? Wondering why they didn’t file a WARN notice in CA.

What will the layoff mean for contractors?

How did Moran not get fired? He is so much worse than those Juan let go. All he knows is to talk and pretend that he runs the bank, truth being his Uncle Brad is running it for him. He does not even know the industry or products or innovation or tech to grow the business, so HOW, is here he here? Sometimes stupidity and Mo--ns also get good times, it seems. He will keep cutting more people as he knows nothing more
