OSU CUTS

Oregon State University is laying off non-tenured faculty as part of a budget realignment that took effect July 1, following the Board of Trustees’ May approval of a plan to cut overall expenses by 5.2%. The changes, driven by rising costs that outpace tuition and enrollment growth, also anticipate a potential 15% reduction in federal overhead reimbursements, which fund research-related expenses. In the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, all non-tenured teaching staff are being let go, including professors Allen Milligan and Stephen Meyers. Milligan, who teaches phycology and aquatic botany, said his fall term course will be his last, leaving no faculty with his expertise in the department. He explained that non-tenured faculty rely heavily on grant funding to cover portions of their salary, and the new model makes retaining such positions financially unsustainable. While OSU says it aims to minimize impacts and is still hiring for some roles, it has not indicated plans to rehire affected non-tenured instructors.

Cold Chain Technologies Layoffs / Massachusetts

Franklin-based Cold Chain Technologies, a manufacturer of specialized thermal packaging for life sciences and other industries, will permanently end manufacturing at its Massachusetts headquarters this fall and lay off 82 employees between October 1 and year-end, according to a state WARN notice. The company will shift production from its Franklin facility at 135 Constitution Blvd. to other U.S. sites in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas, while retaining some staff locally for unspecified “certain operations.” Cold Chain Technologies also provides digital shipment monitoring services and works with airlines and freight companies. In addition to its Franklin global headquarters, it operates facilities in multiple U.S. states and internationally in the Netherlands, Singapore, Panama, Uruguay, and Brazil.

Maverik Layoffs 2025

Maverik, the Salt Lake City-based convenience store chain that purchased K-m & Go from the Krause Group in 2023, is significantly scaling back its operations in Des Moines, Iowa, where K-m & Go had been headquartered since its founding in 1963. According to an August 6 letter from Maverik’s human resources chief to the city, the company will lay off 100 employees in Des Moines while retaining 63 and offering relocation packages to eight others in departments such as category management, HR business support, continuous improvement, and operations systems and support. The layoffs, which began with a price book analyst on August 6, are scheduled to occur in stages, with additional rounds on October 6, December 1, and January 2, 2026, before concluding on April 2, 2026.

The affected positions span a wide range of corporate functions including HR operations, retail IT support, accounting, procurement, category management, foodservice, marketing, and merchandising. Nicole Mason, Maverik’s chief development officer and a K-m & Go veteran since 2002, is the only senior executive confirmed to be leaving as part of this reduction. Those retained will work in areas such as foodservice, supply and trading, retail and commercial sales, merchandising, IT, site development, and maintenance, supporting what Maverik describes as a “limited presence” in Des Moines to address geographically based business needs.

Maverik stated that the move is part of its ongoing strategy to improve efficiency and better serve a growing customer base by consolidating headquarters functions at its “Base Camp” in Salt Lake City. The company emphasized that it is working with affected employees to develop individual transition plans, including relocation opportunities, and is committed to providing transparency and support throughout the process. Since acquiring K-m & Go, Maverik has added roughly 400 locations to its portfolio, doubling its store count, and has begun rebranding K-m & Go stores in Iowa and Nebraska under the Maverik name. The rebranding is notable given K-m & Go’s Iowa origins and its decades-long presence in the state, and it reflects Maverik’s focus on positioning its stores as adventure-themed destinations that cater to outdoor enthusiasts while incorporating local community elements into store design and concept.

Maverik / K-m & Go - Layoffs

Maverik, which acquired K-m & Go in 2023, is reducing its presence in Des Moines, Iowa, the former K-m & Go headquarters, and will lay off 100 employees there while retaining 63 and offering relocation packages to eight others in various departments. The cuts, which began August 6 and will continue through April 2, 2026, affect roles across HR, IT, accounting, procurement, marketing, merchandising, and more, with only one upper management member, Chief Development Officer Nicole Mason, among those laid off. Maverik cited a plan to consolidate headquarters operations in Salt Lake City while keeping a limited Des Moines presence for regional needs, following its rebranding of K-m & Go stores in Iowa and Nebraska.

New Layoffs!

Amdocs announced the launch of a new GenAI & Data division aimed at integrating artificial intelligence into all aspects of its products, services, and operations, consolidating product, engineering, strategy, and go-to-market teams under one unit led by Senior Vice President Ilan Sade. While the company positions this move as a strategic step to strengthen its leadership in the global IT and telecom market, it is also preparing for another wave of layoffs expected to impact hundreds of employees in Israel and worldwide. This follows recent workforce reductions, including 2,700 layoffs in 2023 and 1,500 in 2024, as Amdocs adapts its organizational structure to align with business opportunities and efficiency goals.

MINI WARK FOR WA

Washington State has adopted a "mini-WARN Act," joining other states with laws that require advance notice for certain layoffs. The piece falls under Employment Law & Compliance and is aimed at HR professionals needing to stay informed about evolving state-level labor regulations. It highlights the growing trend of state-level protections for workers, similar to the federal WARN Act, and indicates that employers in Washington will now have to meet specific notice requirements before conducting large-scale layoffs.

Talent Advisor Job Postings

I heard several HR peeps got laid off just last week.
Then I see that Jackie Richardson, HR Executive is hiring several Talent Advisors.
My question is to Jackie and/or her team please.
Are the job postings just for show, because protocol require you to post ? In other words, are these job postings reserved for the peeps who just got laid off and having to re-apply for their old jobs back as a different job title?
Is posting for these jobs a waste of everyone's time?

Let’s wrap up the layoffs quickly

Communicate the timeline clearly. Dragging this out would only prolong the anxiety and disruption in our lives. A process that stretches on for months, without any of us knowing if or when the axe will fall, is both a disservice and deeply disrespectful. We have lives, bills to pay, families to care for, and plans to make. Being given a clear schedule and honest intentions is a basic courtesy. Leaving us to sit in uncertainty and stress for weeks or months is unfair, and entirely avoidable.

To sum it up: Layoffs won’t stop so don’t get cushiony

It’s initially good. Because of this change there might be new trust into the company strategy and boost sales/confidence/stocks from external peers.

However medium/long term we will see what the new CEOs strategy is. If they will downsize the company or what. Layoffs won’t stop so don’t get cushiony. However there’s a chance with new external confidence in leadership lowering the frequency or amount of restructuring.

Agree, @a1+1k2cdja1v. No place for too much optimism.

Two rounds of layoffs

End of Q3 we will see first round of layoffs impacting enterprise group, which will include some architects, CL's, squad leads.
There's too much chatter going on to ignore, these are no longer rumors but confirmed cuts.

Q1 2026 will have another round of layoffs with summer street location moved to WTC.
If Fido doesn't reduce Boston count by at least 550, there will not be enough space for individuals, even with alternate week schedule.

Intel is laying off 24,000 employees and retreating from some countries

Intel says it will retreat from planned projects in Germany and Poland, end its assembly and test operations in Costa Rica, and finish 2025 with just around 75,000 “core employees” in total.

Intel employed 109,800 people at the end of 2024, of which 99,500 were “core employees,” so the company is pushing out around 24,000 people this year — shrinking Intel by roughly one-quarter.

Major US & Israel HC Cuts... What about Asia and Low Cost GEOs?

We've all seen the headlines where there's thousands of US headcount being laid off, and some teams in Israel being impacted. But I haven't heard much if there are big HC cuts in China, India, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, Costa Rica, or other lower cost countries/GEOs? Anyone know if the HC cuts are also taking place elsewhere? Or is this the old sleight of hand trick where they fire 5K US employees... but hire back 3K in Asia/Low Cost GEOs?

Cruise Layoffs Continue in San Francisco and Sunnyvale

San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California

  • Cruise, the autonomous vehicle company owned by GM, has laid off another 101 employees as it pulls back from robotaxi development. The affected workers span three Bay Area locations, including the headquarters. These layoffs follow earlier cuts of nearly 1,000 positions and come after a pedestrian incident and subsequent permit suspension. GM is shifting focus away from public robotaxi services to internal testing and integration of Cruise technologies with its broader driver-assistance systems.

Amazon offshoring and use of H-1B/OPT visa programs

Amazon offshoring and use of the corrupt H-1B/OPT visa program destroys U.S. jobs. Amazon is not alone in this scam. They are, however, one of the top abusers. And, as Amazon opens new locations across the U.S., taxpayers foot the bill in the form of TIFs (Tax Increment Financing agreements) and other subsidies.

Example data (H-1B jobs 2025): https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=amazon+&year=2025

The chart (available in X posting) shows six roles at Amazon, all previously based in mid-to-high cost U.S. metros like Seattle, NYC, Phoenix, and Nashville.

Every one of them paid $145K–$165K in total comp. Today? These same functions are being filled in India, Costa Rica, and the Philippines… for as little as $28K to $40K.

The result? Cost savings of 71% to 78%. Per employee.

These aren’t theoretical roles. They’re pulled from:

Archived U.S. Amazon job listings

Live offshore postings on http://amazon.jobs

Verified salary data from http://Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, H1B/LCA filings

And internal comp benchmarks from Accenture and Cognizant vendor contracts

And here’s the twist: Many of these offshore hires are contractors, not full-time Amazon employees.

While digging into H-1B isn’t my thing, this should explain a bit more to those wondering why it is so hard to find a job. This isn’t new. But this is perhaps a snapshot explanation.

WSJ: GM Ontario Layoffs

GM has temporarily halted production of its BrightDrop electric delivery van and plans to cut workers at its Ontario plant when it resumes scaled-back output, labor union Unifor said Friday.
The Detroit automaker confirmed it is making operational and employment adjustments to “balance inventory and align production schedules with current demand.” The company said it was committed to the future of BrightDrop and its CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, where production of the van and EV battery assembly would remain.
The decision from GM adds to worries in Canada about the wider ramifications from President Trump’s trade policy on its manufacturing sector and economy. The Trump administration last week imposed a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars, in a bid to persuade auto makers to move operations from countries such as Canada to the U.S.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said earlier in the day the tariff-fueled market turmoil of the past week has led to a “marked tightening” in financial conditions, and is weighing on Canada’s labor market. The economy shed about 33,000 jobs in March, the worst one-month performance in three years.
Last week, Stellantis NV said it would temporarily halt production at its minivan plant in Windsor, Ontario, for two weeks, a day after the White House’s tariff aimed at imported vehicles went into effect.
GM’s decision was due to weak demand for the EV van, and not related to the U.S. administration’s trade policy, according to a person briefed on the matter. Recent data from GM indicated the company sold 274 BrightDrop vans in the first quarter, a 7% increase from the same period a year-ago. Overall, sales of GM vehicles rose 16.7% in the first quarter.
Lana Payne, the president of Unifor, Canada’s largest private-sector union, said tariffs imposed on the country and Trump’s policies regarding EVs played a role in GM’s decision. The administration’s policies are “disrupting investment and freezing future order projections,” Payne said.
Unifor said GM will initiate temporary layoffs starting April 14, and workers will return in May for limited production. It said the company informed it production would then be halted until October, during which time GM plans retooling work to prepare for the 2026 model year of commercial EVs.
When production does resume, the plant will operate a single shift for the foreseeable future, which is expected to result in the indefinite layoff of almost 500 workers, Unifor said. The union represents more than 1,200 workers at CAMI, where BrightDrop production began in early 2023
Payne called on the company to do everything in its power to mitigate job losses, and for all levels of government to step up and support Canadian auto workers and Canadian-made products.

Not So Squiet

Perhaps the rumour mill is working overtime. Nicolas Not So Squiet visiting EMEA. Escorted by the lead singer of The Undertones. Maybe it should be the Undertakers! Production is moving out of what is left of a decimated footprint in the UK. Another Tireman hire who can only see cost-cutting as the best route to business growth. As for Sharkey, well, what do you expect? Has not got the slightest clue about manufacturing, a puppet on the outpost, anticipating retirement any day soon. I just hope the Layoff compensation is decent and people get the best chance of finding something new.

The 2025 surprise might be that Floundry is not spun off, but made profitable then broken up.

IDM 1.0 Product groups benefited from having access to lead nodes (ahead of what other companies could access), to the point that the fabs were run as a loss-leader, with max emphasis on output and yield over cost.

This led Finance to grind their teeth but no one cares about that.

It seems clear that external customers want Floundry to be a separate company from Products, because of the concern over IP sharing and wafer start conflicts.

But that leaves Product groups with low margins when they rely on lead nodes from TSMC. This is because they no longer have pricing power and that will only worsen over time as x86 is supplanted by ARM.

So Product groups NOW need Floundry to be a more cost effective supplier TSMC (and close to leading node). This was the point of IDM 2.0.

MJ tried to mumble something about this in a more positive light, but the reality seems clear enough.

What this likely means is deep cuts in Floundry spending, as that group gets real about the capacity needed for the pace of customer onboarding which is possible.

The pushout of Ohio and halting of other projects shows the effort is underway to rationalize capacity to demand.

Pat was pushing to do a full buildout, which only made sense if he was able to bring high volume customers onboard.
A smarter approach would have been to do no greenfield projects.
Just add a few mods and wait for customer growth to justify Ohio and Germany.
This is what appears to be the current plan (much to Pats deep chagrin)

Next is to slow down the ramp, and stop building speculative capacity.
The company has being driven into the ground by reckless expansion and it must stop.

So at the existing facilities, that means fewer tools, which means less headcount. Attrition may be sufficient.

It seems possible that a few HVM fabs could be spun off into an independent company, to satisfy external customer concerns.
Considering how few customers there are, that could just be at one site, like Ireland or something.

For Product groups, it is way past time to stop projects and groups that have no roadmap to profitability.
Because that x86 market share, it ain't coming back.

If Product groups need the combined margins then they will have to retain some fabs in the same company, and likely TD as well, in order for it to be funded.

So the big surprise of 2025 may be that the company is not particularly broken up, but that the fabs are broken up, in order to sustainably serve the needs of internal and external customers.

Aramco wastes money like crazy ... yet squeezes employees and contractors

There is a long list of Aramco's failed investments over the years. Let's start with Chemicals: Sadara, Petro Rabigh, Rapid and there are more coming. Wall Street research suggests that Aramco will be lucky to get their money back from these over 20 - 30 years, and Rapid isn't even in Saudi Arabia and thus creates no jobs inside the Kingdom. And all of these pale in comparison to Jafurah unconventional gas. The government has given Aramco over $100 billion to build infrastructure for gas that has yet to arrive in meaningful quantities. Management's solution to all these bad decisions seems to be to squeeze employees and contractors. Oh, and borrow more money ... or as Aramco's CFO likes to say "optimize the capital structure". I think I can safely say that everyone outside of Senior management is disgusted. Its not just Expats, good Saudis with options don't seem to want anything to do with Aramco either.
