Whoa, looks like Stripe just didn’t like what they saw. Now the next guy gets even cheaper. I wonder how long until Enrique gets fired? He was brought on to execute faster but he can’t even do layoffs timely. We’ve been talking for MONTHS layoffs.

If you or if you know anyone that got laid off this coming Monday/Tuesday, which country/region is the person from?

Any worried about this reorg taking place? I’m worried it could mean layoffs, apparently multiple directors were pulled into HR offices at EOD today.

We are back baby !!

The Third Digital Transformation is under way. Here are some sights, sounds, & scenes on the way courtesy of the Layoff’s TIAA site:

By July 2025
the overall Accenture/TIAA recordkeeping performance scorecard was flashing red due to missed milestones and other failings.

In September 2025, the TIAA Board was finally made aware of the critical problems with the TIAA/Accenture Recordkeeping partnership.

Let the greatest show on earth begin !

If this does not happen, reach out to your representative

I worked as a contractor for couple years and fell in love with the culture back in 2010-2011. My contract got terminated couple years later but my manager was so supportive and inclusive that an attempt was made to convert me to full-timer but the contract did not allow that. Nevertheless, I kept in touch with a hope that someday it might work out. Couple years later, one fine morning, I saw a job opening (Linkedin) in that team and I applied. It took a month or two to go through bureaucracy but my manager was more than happy to recruit me having seen my technical skills and got the job. I did not negotiate at all and just accepted what was offered to me even though it was way below market rates. I was very happy and promised myself to retire from this place with a belief that a great job and mental peace is more important than tons of money. I even celebrated my success with a long vacation at Disney's along with my family.

I was so enthusiastic about my work that time was never a constraint when it came to work. I put in my sweat and blood into the job. People came and left around me, including most of my colleagues and managers, but I stuck around watching how Pearson culture fell from being a lovable people's company to corporate greed, nepotism and a disposable view of human capital. Then one fine afternoon, in Jan 2026, I was a victim of nepotism and laid off unceremoniously. And here I am still looking for a company that I loved so much, it now feels like a lost cause.

I received no raise, while execs... including Hemsley... continues to receive mega comp packages. If employes are being asked to accept stagnant pay because of the company’s performance and financial challenges, exec compshould be subject to the same scrutiny... and sacrifice.

I have been with UnitedHealthcare for more than 20 yrs & it is frustrating to watch longtime employees feel undervalued while leadership continues to be well compensated. Folks are tired of hearing the same corp messaging quarter after quarter without seeing meaningful improvements in our compensation or working conditions.

At some point, leadership needs to recognize that employee loyalty has limits. Period... If the co wants to retain experienced people, it needs to demonstrate that through competitive pay and meaningful raises - not simply words of appreciation. Employees cannot continually be expected to absorb the consequences of management decisions while executives remain financially insulated from them.

Its sad discouraging to see news about employees receiving little or nothing in additional compensation while the company's stock responds positively. That sends a terrible message to the people who have spent years helping build and operate this organization. Please start listening to employees and appropriately compensating the people doing the work. Otherwise UHC should not be surprised when experienced employees decide they have had enough and leave.

I know we dont have many folks from the stores on this forum, but wanted to share this as well. These folks are working as hard as us and they are often impacted by cuts more than we are. Anyhow, I am sorry they have to go thru this and hope all laid off folks find better jobs soon.

It's over, sycamore ran it into the ground. Sad day for past and present employees.

It’s maddening how toxic this place is. So many layoffs, no budgets for promotions raises etc. everyone is just so burned out in my org. Layoff after layoff, doing more with less. Meanwhile, record sales and the company livestreams GSX to all of us poors. Sales, product and engineering are all crutial parts of a business but it’s clearly a sales-over-everything business.

What's the change Ayman skirted around during today's town hall? Solutions and teams moving "out of the Core". He is waiting for a recommendation from "the team". His way of putting a WFR blame on others since he is going to follow "the teams" recommendation.

WFR coming.

I’m reading there are supposed to be more layoffs in October for management in retail stores. Does anyone have any details on this?

Another round of layoffs, affecting a limited number of back-office positions. Recurring pattern in August and November.

If there are layoffs it seems the pattern is that they occur in September or October. Always right before the holiday season.

We are being told to create more lower level roles and limit/eliminate the amount of higher level roles. I was looking at some of our postings for C12 roles. They are asking for 5-8 years of specific experience and stating an advanced degree is a plus. I am sorry but 5-8 years of this type of experience should easily demand C13.

The message is clear. Do more with less people and less experience. Sad thing this is the whole damn market. Good luck to all that have been impacted and those that will be. Ugh

How astonishingly cheap has Imperial Oil’s management become that they expect employees to bring their own lunch while celebrating one billion barrels produced at Kearl. Fifty billion dollars in potential revenue, and the big reward is… packing your own sandwich. John Whelan, hope things are comfortable up in the penthouse while everyone else is told to brown‑bag it.

AI is positioned to be removing many jobs in the name of OBD.

My company was just purchased by Ametek. What can we expect?

Historically, we see org changes and layoffs in September/October. No one really knows but we are good at reading the signs. Anyone reading anything?

Unclear how many

So, as of this morning, there was a huge shakeup in Canton. Many people who supported the field and leadership are now gone. It seems like the clowns are now fully in charge of the circus. Not going to drop the names, but take a look around... and this is just weeks after another round was done. This is only the beginning; it's going to get worse.

If our CEO spent a little less time on social media maintaining his network and relevance for whatever his next role might be—and a little more time actually leading this company—maybe the rest of us would spend less time on Layoff.com wondering when the next restructure or round of layoffs is coming.

Employees cannot focus on growing, innovating, and thriving when they are constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Leadership isn’t about likes, visibility, or staying relevant in your network. It’s about giving your people a strategy they can believe in, creating stability, communicating a direction, and actually executing.

We don’t need another LinkedIn post.

We need you to do your damn job and lead.

I have heard from several sources that 4,000 employees are being let go on Monday. Take it with a grain of salt because this is all a game of telephone

Has anyone else heard the same?

No reductions expected?

There's going to be waves of people leaving in September when the RTO policy goes into effect, and when Executive Leadership(ELT) realizes the reduction in payroll expenses isn't quite hitting the goals set by TPG, they are going to do mass layoffs. Entire departments will be eliminated if not reduced to a skeleton crew. High cost centers like Product Development will probably see substantial cuts, simply because most of that department live more than 30 miles away from an office, they're not going to cover relocation fees so it's easier to just cut. We are already seeing hiring freezes in PD when long-tenured software engineers left with no backfilling, budget constraints is the excuse given. I estimate that there will be massive RIFs in mid-October through December, then they will probably announce it in January 2027 just like last year.

And I couldn't be more grateful. That place is a disaster, and getting out was the push I needed to find something better. Being let go feels like a punishment when it happens, but with time you realize it's a gift. Go find something that doesn't drain you. You'll thank yourself later.

There are just too many people between the work and the results. Managers of managers, directors of nothing, and their only real skill is creating more meetings and more politics. They think they're helping, but they're really just slowing everything down. Get rid of them in the next round of cuts and we'll all be better off.

Las Vegas is experiencing a tourism slump, leading to job losses in the hospitality sector. One local strip club has seen a significant increase in auditions. Many new applicants are from traditional hospitality roles and are trying dancing for the first time. The club's management notes a difference in the applicant pool compared to previous years. This trend highlights the search for alternative income streams amid economic challenges.

Hearing whispers of some restructuring of the branches in CA. Specifically the South LA branch becoming the main branch and OC and the Ventura branches being closed or turned into ghost warehouses. Anyone have any more info on that?

Spirit Airlines has permanently closed its operations, resulting in the layoff of nearly 1,000 employees in Las Vegas. The airline cited sustained deterioration in business conditions and rising fuel costs as primary reasons for its closure. Despite efforts to secure capital, the company did not receive additional operational funding from the U.S. government and its lenders. This decision impacts flight attendants, first officers, and captains at Harry Reid International Airport. The airline is assisting affected employees with travel arrangements home and has advised them to avoid wearing uniforms for safety.

Hearing its the end of the road for a number of staff in a number of locations, looks like hubs are the focus now.

Warehouse employees at a major beverage distributor were reportedly laid off and replaced by AI robots. The affected workers stated the layoffs occurred on Sunday, March 8. Their daily tasks of picking and palletizing products are now handled by machines. Approximately 50 out of over 100 warehouse workers were let go. Drivers were reportedly not impacted by these specific layoffs.

Anduril Industries is investing an additional $1 billion into a new campus in Long Beach, California. This expansion will include facilities for offices, labs, and prototype manufacturing. The company is developing advanced technologies such as drones and autonomous fighter jets. In contrast, Autodesk is reducing its workforce by approximately 1,000 employees. These layoffs are attributed to strategic realignments and a focus on artificial intelligence leadership.

When you never know if your job will exist next quarter, you can't focus on anything but survival.

The Long Beach Unified School District has laid off more than 500 employees to address a significant financial deficit. These cuts include temporary certified staff, federally-funded Head Start program employees, librarians, and various support staff. District employees express deep concern that these layoffs will negatively impact student learning, wellness, and increase the workload for remaining staff. Despite these concerns, the district maintains that core student services will be protected. The decision comes as the district faces a nearly $70 million budget shortfall.

Long Beach is proposing significant layoffs affecting over 260 city employees to address a $58 million budget deficit. The cuts will impact various departments, including fire, police, and homeless services. Over 200 vacant positions are also slated for elimination. This measure is necessary due to rising personnel costs, legal payouts, and a slowdown in tax revenue. The city aims to balance its $4 billion spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year.
