#layoffs

All the 40+ middle managers survived while most L2s and some L4s in my department got the axe. How did your department fair?

Most of us have been fed up with our jobs here, but we still need them. And it’s getting harder and harder to find something else. I truly hope everyone impacted today finds another job soon, ideally a better one, with a better company.

Just got terminated anyone know when is last day ?? got no info besides being eliminated

Puma plans to eliminate about 900 more corporate jobs globally by the end of next year, the athletic brand announced Thursday. The company, which has about 7,000 corporate employees and previously cut 500 roles this year, said cost savings from the layoffs will be released later.

any minnesota updates?

I hope he Axes VPs and high ups, those money su-king actors. They are the axis of all evil. They don’t know anything about the frontlines and the struggle. They come in to take pictures and F off. Get rid of them!!!

I’ve been hearing that layoffs strategy was/ is being reviewed due to WARN filing issues from this year (class action). Anyone hear of a RIF plan solidified for Q4/ Q1?

CBS did incur layoffs very few in sports many in news and some in CBS E even union jobs
for what's it's worth - and HR here can absolutely correct - management could be gaslighting us to calm down

were told no more planned layoffs this year no round two planned RTO will take effect for both phases Remote only jobs will end
that early 2026 is streaming related

and that yes news is a wild card with new sheriff - i'm not in news
--just conveying what was told me

So let me get this straight. When the analysts are citing CM and his sale of stock as a reason for downgrading and selling stock, and lowering the outlook, under already existing pressure about future revenue, you have to wonder. All the layoffs (savings) that have come under CM are moot when it comes to a downgrade because of what CM did. I think SC needs to take CM out to the shed because his layoffs took good people out of Oracle, and maybe his layoff plans saved millions, and his boneheaded sale just cost ORCL billions. Way to go.

After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of positions as we realign functions and enhance operational effectiveness as part of our ongoing transformation. We are working directly with affected individuals to ensure they have support during this transition.

Just told that I was laid off and last date will be 11/13.

They'll wrap up the whole thing today?

With how things are going, getting severance might have been the better outcome.

They laid off half the staff here this morning. The rest of us have our meeting at noon. And already laid off two clinics fully this am at 7.

Did Optum CA have any department layoffs today? Which departments?

Has any department/subsidiary on the West Coast been hit today?

Every day there's somebody saying it's happening tomorrow. Until we have official word, stop worrying and get to looking for something else. Whether you're laid off or not this round, there's always going to be the next one. The only useful thing to do right now is be proactive in your job search. That's it.

Politics over work
Preferences over people
Too much favorism

Such mind set allowed to grow Arista

All DC leaders should be fired in next layoff

Amazon Games is winding down support for New World: Aeternum amid layoffs in the division and even deeper job cuts across its parent company. The game debuted on PC in 2021 and it landed on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S just over a year ago.

Reddit Collins/RTX laying off all over the place different states. Whole engineering teams gone.

Every fu--ing round we lose more people and the rest of us are left scrambling how to the work without them. Well I'm done. Fire me if you won't, I'm not picking up any more work. Not a single thing is getting added to my plate this time. In all honesty, now I wish I was laid off. Who knows, maybe there's still time.

If you go over to the Optum Layoff threads you will see that many are being notified today for layoff and as to their last day, which appears to be in January.

Not me but one poster over there posted the following, which I thought was interesting and seems to sound very familiar.

"We already have openings in India to replace people we let go from our team today. This is offshoring." -- This is true and will continue because all at the top has their own bottom line at the expense of employees here is USA, unless government put some check balances these greedy corporate will not stop.“

I bet Prime Minister Narendra Modi is rubbing his hands together regarding all the money his government will take in from American Health Insurance companies. And I know from research that India does a lot of trade with Russia. And a lot of Indian workers work in Arab countries that hate Americans.

For any of the PBEs that were laid off yesterday, can you share what your pay out is, if any at all? I believe staff is given severance and WARN if they qualify, but I am curious to know if non-renewed contracts are a potential loophole that they are taking to not pay out these employees.

Massive layoffs just started this morning.

Just got the word that it’s coming soon. Strap in (or strap on if you work in ops) and get ready for the show. Gonna be the largest slice and dice since covid. God speed.

Doing more with less was the theme. Even though there has been revenue and profit growth every quarter they expect more restructuring for layoffs in the US. Budgets will still be tight. They will be focusing on hiring more in call center work in Mexico. US panel jobs will start to be consolidated. Self install pilot has
been approved to move forward. Call center team had concerns about capped bonus and quality. Overall expect more call center and remote work and less in field work into 2026.

Many nurses and APPs in NYS laid off effective 1/8/25

Heard about surplus within the org from old coworker. I believe all impacted individuals have been notified. Sorry to everyone impacted, wanted to share.

The market expects almost doubled Earnings from Oracle, putting intense pressure on the company to deliver rapid growth and justify these numbers.
Leaders/Engineers with stock holdings will be trimmed more.

Due to the company's high profitability, there's a low need for massive layoffs. instead, expect targeted layoffs (mostly performance-related) , hiring freeze, project cutdowns and more reorg.

Oracle is safe till next 3-4m to stay for sure but pressure will mount. Leaders will face more problem to deliver with less salary to employees and more mounting pressure.

New email from Tina Wilson, did anybody understand? Is it over for all other countries?
When will they close them?

Let us know how you and your team are impacted.

Not a great news for this new plant in KY.

All the best to the valued colleagues who have been laid off. Good luck. It's International's turn now.
Given that in many countries layoffs must be communicated a month in advance, when can we expect them? Any date? Thank you very much.

This really says it all right here:

we effectively managed Adjusted selling and administrative expenses, offset by softer Insight Core services and hardware performance

Basically they fired more people to try and turn the sinking ship around as it is their only lever to pull when you can't get KrustyBurger to deliver on numbers. You can see in the numbers just how much they are spending in offshoring in EMEA as well as continued offshoring in the US. Buckle up kids, looks like this is the new Insight, slash and burn your way to profit! Keep your heads down and hope that your teammates don't turn on you so that you get tagged in the next on-going episode of "RIF or Sink", coming to you on a major network soon!

Dave Watson is stepping down (yay!) and will become vice chairman.

Steve Croney (why?) is replacing Dave Watson.

Pretty sure if you want to change the trajectory of the company, stop hemorrhaging subscribers, and increase revenue, you shouldn’t promote someone who has been a leader during the hardship times.

Guess more layoffs beyond the latest announcement is in our future for 2026.

Lots of rumors around today. Can we use this thread for updates?

None of the H1Bs were fired in my group, how about your group.

sure seems like companies should layoff the H1Bs before US citizens, for a US based company.
