Anyone who thinks there's a real plan behind all this, with every detail figured out, is kidding themselves. We've watched the same pattern play out, mainly cuts based on the bottom line, while bad managers and useless roles sail through. The only difference afterward? More work for the people who stay. And yeah, it's always worse.

SDH Education West, LLC, doing business as Sodexo, filed WARN notices. The company plans to lay off 489 employees in Phoenix. Sodexo provides catering and facilities management services.

Hey folks?
Is it true that whole IBM EMEA Talent Acquisition Team (90%) is laid off who was supporting Kyndryl Account?
Only a few are retained who were on B5.

Any comments?

After every layoff round, they grow even more. I think most of us have stopped even trying to meet them. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. Bending over backwards to do extra work and deliver results isn't going to save anyone's job. We'll just regret the wasted energy later.

I joined four months ago, should I be worried about layoffs?

Results are great, but I haven't been here long enough to know if that means that layoffs are not a threat for now? Does Comcast cut people even when results are good? I'm asking because my old company sadly had layoffs even when we were achieving record profit.

Even when we're supposed to be safe, there's always that thought in the back of my mind, ever since we were completely blindsided one time. I just want to be able to focus on my work once again without stressing and worrying, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Geodis Logistics is closing a facility. This closure will result in 185 layoffs. The facility is located in Middlesex Township, Pennsylvania. It will close no later than August 31, 2026. The company filed a WARN notice regarding the permanent layoffs.

While it took me a while to accept it, now I know there's no future here. It makes me sad since I've been here for over a decade and I've had some good times working here, but it is what it is.

Frequent cuts, endless political games, and ever-changing job descriptions are just few of the things wrong here. There's also no clear direction from the top. Most of us just show up and try to survive whatever the day throws at us.

But kept the H1B/OPT/visa holders.

There are many things wrong with Wells Fargo right now, from bad management and toxic culture to constant layoffs, but the worst part is the politics. It feels like every decision is about someone's agenda rather than what actually makes sense. I've never seen anything like it in my 20+ year long career.

With how often we have layoffs, all of us have two choices. Run ourselves into the ground and hope for the best, or just kiss up to our boss and call it job security. One is a gamble. The other is gross but effective. Pick your poison.

Will be closed down.

Expect sometime in early Q3 to be announced.

I remember having job security once upon a time. We switched to a constant threat of layoffs too easily. It bothers me how all of us just accept that this is normal, when it's anything but.

Many Massachusetts school districts are facing budget cuts. These cuts follow recent agreements on new teacher contracts. The contracts included substantial pay raises and benefits for staff.

That is awful news for Nike because after collapse of DTC, Nike needs more doors than ever before!!! There are no new stores coming down the pipeline and existing ones are going down the pipe.
I guess that is when you say Nike is stuck in a rock and a harp place!!

Brick and mortar shoe stores are done!!! So it is up to Nike to create new source of doors to move their product.
Brick and mortar is done!! So what Nike should do is open third party sellers in amazon, walmart and ebay to sell in that platform who are there with proven good standing status.
Nike cannot open more independent brick and mortar stores since nobody in right mind will open stores.
So Nike needs to go outside of box and open independent third party sellers in internet!!!

How many of you will stay (or leave) if the eliminated the pension plan?

Many people post on here about where is all the work going to go with layoffs? None of this has been addressed since VSP 1.0.. We were wasting so much money of useless “projects”, meetings, reviews, slide decks, paralysis by analysis, that the thousands and thousands of people RIF’d have made no significant impact to progress. VZ is changing and those useless projects will all cease once the gutting is done. It’s unnecessary work and those doing to work will not be replaced. The end of VZ as we knew it is happening in front of us, daily. Su-ks, but that’s reality when you are up to your eyeballs in debt and only answer to analysts and shareholders.

I think revenue will continue to decline, staff numbers will decrease every year and the company might survive as a content company , cloud based with around 8k employees

It's also conceivable that content may not even save us as better products become available. If this is the case then the company will likely dissolve in around 5 years time

The constant layoffs, getting treated poorly, the “f* you attitude, acting like vipers, the politics, blaming all from management builds an incredibly toxic environment that we have become products of. When we push back and act short, direct and have the same “f” you attitude management needs to stop clutching your pearl necklaces. you built this, you made this environment. Do you not think we can’t get new jobs? We can, but not before we tell you to go “f” yourselves.

It might not stop there though. We are living in a very dangerous world and it’s important our managers watch their steps.

Remember - you made us.

I can't think of a single reason to stay here, but I can think of about a hundred reasons to leave.

Thank you for your service :).

Any word on if there’s going to go thru with in in New England? Should be soon, the higher ups are in for a surprise if they do. A lot of good talent will be leaving from what I hear..what a joke, let’s make this like 2005 and put these managers in the spotlight and talk about their cr-p numbers that we can easily look up. I can see director and above but individual managers !? Bye bye verizon for many if this happens

Meta's problems cant be solved by current leadership. Its time for Priscilla Chan to step down as CEO.

Most of us hold meta stock either directly or indirectly. This stock will go the way of cisco, ebay, yahoo if changes are not made and soon!

Nepotism has largely captured large swath of the company. Performance reviews no longer mater in those orgs. pip's are unheard of especially If you share the same ethnicity as your manager - you are often safer than safe. You enjoy large refreshes, fast easy promotions and high performance ratings. In this org, credit often belongs to someone else that cant speak your mother language.

For those not in the protected class. Wondering why they were let go despite exceeded expectations rating. You know why! Do you joke in the same language at lunch with your metamates ? This probably always felt off. You will never be in their tribe. You will never be one of them. Your manager can put you on pip and not think twice. Because you just don't feel like a team player -- because you can't joke with them at lunch.

Innovation is largely dead at meta. the company has been captured by a protected class due to nepotism of low performers that will never ever be pip'd. They are bleeding the company dry both of treasure and IP to give to mother country. Just simply running out the clock waiting for their green card in hopes the latter comes first.

Given the latest layoffs and the constant threat of more cuts, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much cash I have available and how many months of unemployment it would carry me through. I didn't like the number at all. Three months tops. I’m curious where other people stand when it comes to fully liquid savings, not stocks, retirement accounts, mutual funds, or anything you’d have to sell or wait on. Just money you could access immediately if things went sideways. Am I the only one who's utterly unprepared in all of this mess?
