In full force layoffs are back on. Starting with the people who work the hardest to be loyal to their job

I hear chatter of layoffs coming to HL. September is right around the corner and it typically happens before Employee Appreciation week.

We know we still have like 26000 people to layoff before the year is over according to Jane’s press release

What departments and locations are being impacted?

Now that Mike Lipps is running Coupa, I’m curious what former/current Qlik employees can share about his operating style there.

How did he approach layoffs, reorganizations, replacing C-level executives, acquisitions/integration, and cost cutting? Was he generally a “steady the ship” CEO, or did he make pretty significant changes when he came in?

I’m particularly interested in what actually happened on the ground versus the official company messaging.

Has anyone heard of any layoffs in august so far?

Is it time to have a conversation on who was a worse CHRO? RM or MG? Entire organization is falling apart while looking head on to more layoffs.

Finally, I got my first PIP today. Even that I was doing lot of work and in my opinion I was top performer finally my manager decided that I deserved a PIP... Crazy company... I guess, all the posts saying RAs in September are gonna be true...

Dear Shell employees, please l will like to get some advice from current and former Shell employees. Shell has been my dream company to work for and l am thinking of pursuing a career with Shell.

Widespread corporate layoffs are prompting many individuals to consider significant career changes. These job reductions, driven by factors like AI advancements and restructuring, are pushing workers to evaluate their transferable skills and identify new opportunities. A successful transition involves researching job market demand, acquiring necessary new skills, and making a strategic move for long-term stability. While some may need immediate income, developing a thoughtful long-term career plan is crucial. Many professionals can leverage existing experience in new fields rather than starting over at an entry-level position.

Any office middle management from Gulf of America teams laid off? There’s significant amount of middle management in need of being discarded to face the real world.

What has Gunjan done since making cries about inequality, racism, not having a seat at the table, and how the C suite is full of the good old boys club to get to where she is? Nothing but major cuts, more unqualified offshore hiring, bad business practices and decisions, achieved nothing meaningful, and worst performance then her previous predecessors. It is sad to watch the downfall of US Bank.

If you think the layoffs in 2026 are bad, wait until the bloodbath coming in 2027.

At this point, its literally mental abuse. How I am supposed to work if I don’t know what I am doing is even relevant if I get laid off. This is so frustrating

Did I miss something?

From what I can remember, layoffs almost always start on Tuesday, so I'm going to assume it's going to be the same this time. I don't buy this "layoffs are canceled" talk, we all know it's going to happen.

It be your boss that's laid off, or you yourself

We post so much about the micromanaging the layoffs , those people don’t care. More money for them.

I just saw an ad with Ryan Reynolds bashing our not so simple Simplicity Plan, and then offering Mint Mobile for $15 for 3 months.

I feel like it's going to be a carrier di-k measuring contest at this point and we'll all just go back and forth with cheap plans, perks, layoffs, repeat.

We'll just recycle everything over and over again, pretending like it's all so revolutionary of an idea 😵‍💫🤮

So apparently the August layoffs are completely canceled again.

At this point, does anyone actually know what’s going on at Oracle?

For weeks we’ve been hearing about another major round of cuts coming in August, managers supposedly making lists, double-digit reductions on some teams, 6 a.m. emails, cuts before September 1, etc. People have basically been sitting around waiting to find out whether they still have a job.

And now… nothing? Canceled again?

The constant back-and-forth is getting ridiculous. One week everyone is convinced a huge RIF is imminent, then the date moves, then rumors start again, and now supposedly August is off entirely.

Has anyone heard anything credible internally about what changed? Are the layoffs actually canceled, just postponed into September, or is nobody—including management—really sure what the plan is anymore?

Would especially like to hear from Oracle employees/managers who have gotten an actual update rather than another round of Blind rumors.

I was laid off this year and I snagged a better job that's more money and remote. I also canceled all my policies and went elsewhere for big savings.

It gets better, plan now and walk away. If i can do it so can you. Usaa is dead, let it die.

Seems like no one has any official word on what restructure will look like, how many can expect to be cut, when it may be announced vs when it will take effect. Any word from the “rumor mill?” Seems to be all we have. I’m a CC in a heavy Humana state.

Could someone from management please let us know what the plans are for the three GSCs? At this point, we don't care anymore lol, we just want some clarity on whether layoffs are coming and, if so, when so we can prepare accordingly.
