Linkedin peans

It’s really ridiculous reading these bragging about Q1 financial success and people excited below in the comments with peans. This results cost hundreds suddenly laid off employees, not raises, not focal for every singular worker. That’s exactly the politics - you are important, you bulid our success.

If there are layoffs, I hope they let us volunteer

I’m really hoping they give us a chance to leave voluntarily because I would take it immediately. Things have been so tense and uncertain, it feels like the best move to step away before the stress really hits hard. Having a way out would be a huge relief and give me a chance to reset and find something better.

Massive round of layoffs coming

Heard from multiple reliable sources who make the calls......This will be the biggest one the company has ever had.....it is confirmed. Nobody knows about "when". It will include everyone from every department, every project, no matter the seniority. Even VPs won't be spared. Junior or Senior, it doesn't matter. Could be as soon as mid September or it could be 2 months from now. Stop the work and start looking for a new job RIGHT NOW. Good luck everyone.

“I think we can do better, and we will do better,” Nadella said.


Factory Workers & the Labor Movement: A History of Manufacturing & Layoffs - History Repeats Itself

The beginning is very warped. The film explores the impact of labor-saving machinery on employment and the economy. As factories ramp up production for defense needs, workers face potential layoffs due to automation. The narrative follows a group of factory workers and managers grappling with rising inventories and the challenge of selling increased output at higher prices. Despite aggressive marketing efforts, the lack of consumer purchasing power leads to a failure in sales campaigns. The film ultimately raises questions about balancing technological advancement with job security and the need for economic prosperity to enable consumer spending.

We made the list!

Michigan made the list for job losses. Specifically, the automotive sector.

PEP needs major Layoffs ASAP !!!!

This is the performance of PEP's management: PEP YTD return of (- 2%) SP500 is +12%, PEP 1-Year Return of (-15%) SP500 is +18% , PEP 3-Year Return of (-8%) SP500 is 62% !!!! Gross incompetence doesn't even begin to describe this. They have absolutely no clue what they are doing. Their only strategy has been "we hope nobody notices". Elliott Management can't get here fast enough.


Market Cheers While Jobs Disappear

The real story isn’t that Wall Street doubts Oracle — it’s that they’re buying every bit of the spin. The market’s reaction after the earnings call just hands leadership a license for more cuts.

To be fair, none of us should be shocked. Everyone who signed on here knew the culture, the playbook, and the trade-offs. Oracle has always been masterful at controlling optics: Salesforce and others get front-page coverage for layoffs, while Oracle quietly trims headcount in the shadows.

The 10-K makes it plain — only a fraction of the 2026 restructuring has hit the books. That’s a roadmap, not a surprise. And while Larry takes the crown as the wealthiest man alive, thousands are out of work. That’s not “new,” it’s just the ethos we all bought into.

For those still employed, don’t confuse relief with security. The market just rewarded this strategy, which means we’ll see it again.


Not a good place to work

Highly suggest not to work for CDW. They used to sell technology to consumers, and now started selling services which they are not good at either. Not a consulting company but a part seller. Don't waste your career time working for or with CDW. This company only cares about meeting profits to keep their investors satisfied, and DO NOT care about their employees. Countless layoffs based on poor performance, and out dated technology acumen/leadership teams.


What are employees in North America supposed to do?

The layoff list was reportedly prepared starting in June and July, and it is now being referred to as "P25 Version 2." What’s concerning is that many positions in North America are being eliminated and shifted to lower-cost countries. This raises a critical question: what are employees in North America supposed to do? This feels like regional discrimination, and there's a complete lack of transparency in how these decisions are made. Previously, employees had the option to ask anonymous questions during all-hands meetings, but that feature has now been restricted. It’s hard not to wonder if there’s a hidden agenda behind these changes. Transparency and open communication are essential leaders should be willing to face tough questions without fear.
Moreover, has there ever been a consideration to reduce executive salaries many of which are quite substantial as a cost-saving measure? Even a partial reduction could potentially help avoid job cuts and reduce the overall operating cost. Doing so could also restore some of the goodwill that SAP was once known for.
Finally, assessments should be made mandatory across all roles, including for managers. Employees’ futures should not be left solely to the discretion of their managers. A fair and skills-based evaluation system is necessary to ensure accountability and equality across the board

Bumping this from @ne+1k4m2z208 for being on point.

Rosenbury confronts layoffs and other issues

Nineteen months later, tensions between Rosenbury and the Barnard community have reached a boiling point. Despite hailing efforts from her administration—like the completed renovation of the Francine A. LeFrak Foundation Center for Well-Being and the implementation of a long-overdue maternity leave policy—Rosenbury has also seen a tenure marred by suspensions and expulsions of student protesters, layoffs of 77 full-time staff members, and the faculty vote of no confidence she received in April 2024, the first in Barnard’s history.

This is not a winning strategy

The so-called “low cost country” strategy has gutted entire departments and cost us some of our best people. Moving work overseas might save money on paper, but the loss of knowledge, morale, and quality is enormous. The people making these decisions never deal with the fallout.


Should we believe this will last?

U.S. Steel will end production at the plant, likely in November, but it won’t lay off any of the roughly 800 workers there or reduce their pay, it said. Workers will maintain the plant so that it is operational in case anything changes, U.S. Steel said.

It's not WFH

Everyone keeps blaming work-from-home for performance problems, but it’s not the issue. Morale has been crushed by layoffs, budget cuts, and chaotic changes. Not taking away peoples' flexibility might actually build some goodwill and help fix some of the damage.


September layoff running total

Sep10 4:30am UTC - Sep11 6:30am UTC totals: 190 layoffs.
September totals (except Sep01): 4538 layoffs, and 279 additions.

Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

I got confirmation that lay offs are ongoing in Pacific region, but in some countries they have a 2 week delay after the notice, while they still have access to Slack. Thus, there are more layoffs in reality which will catch up in these totals in couple of weeks.


Enough with the mass hiring sprees followed by mass layoffs

It’s like the company has turned the workforce into a seasonal commodity instead of actual people. Every new round chips away at any remaining loyalty or pride in the work. Enough is enough. And if you don't know how high our hiring is, go and check. Makes no sense amid constant layoffs.


How many layoffs do we need?

We have had cuts after cuts after cuts in the last few years. Nobody can convince me any of it is necessary. It's all about greed and we're the ones paying the price. I'm already looking for another job at a company that has actual job security - something we used to have once upon a time.
