#layoffs

Is there any consensus which divisions will be hit the hardest in upcoming merger layoffs? P+ was already decimated rather recently. Thoughts or knowledge on if streaming will be hit hard again? Not sure what to expect with the combining of HBO Max

In case I’m one of the folks getting laid off, trying to make sure my finances in order. Does anyone know what the severance pay usually is?

This morning’s Town Hall included a quick reference to 1500 roles/teammates will be impacted around 8/1 or 9/1. That is about 48% of RMO. Anyone else hear the same or have any details?

I can't stop thinking about the unfairness of how all this works. A small group of people at the top repeatedly make one short sighted decision after another, often ignoring warnings from the people who actually understand the business. Then, when those decisions inevitably blow up, the same people announce layoffs and call it a necessary adjustment. Not one of them takes a pay cut. Not one of them gives back a bonus. Not one of them faces any real consequence at all. Meanwhile, the rest of us, the people who had no say in any of those bad decisions, are the ones who lose our jobs, our stability, and our peace of mind. I'm so tired of watching executives protect their own wallets while ordinary employees pay the price for mistakes they didn't make. At some point, we've got to start demanding that the people in charge actually take responsibility for their own failures instead of just using layoffs as an easy out every time things get difficult.

I just wish this was already over and done with. I’d rather it had happened on Wednesday and I knew one way or another than sit here for days letting my anxiety spiral. This waiting is the worst part of it. I really do think being left in limbo like this is inhumane.

Dan has been give 20-30% reduction in costs now. There will be massive cuts for 3P and employees. Expect layoff, expect old investigations opened up, and expect minor issues to result in termination. The teams that will be hit are EDAO, P&C IT, Corp and Bank. No one is safe but those are the target areas

I started here not too long ago, and with all the talk about more layoffs, I'm trying to figure out what my situation would be if my name came up. Does anyone know whether people who've been here less than a year typically qualify for severance, or is that something that only kicks in after a certain amount of time?

I've been hearing whispers for weeks now, but nothing official. If anyone has any real information about whether another round is coming, please share what you know. The silence is making me nervous.

It seems to be happening all over again. Usa in favor of other regions or ai

Xbox, LinkedIn, data centers... Is anything safe from cuts these days?

Managers don't care about their teams, they just assign work at the last minute and nitpick every little thing. Employee engagement is basically nonexistent, and we've got layers of middle managers who contribute nothing. The disconnect between our teams in different regions is huge, and nobody seems interested in fixing it. They send out surveys asking for feedback, but nothing ever changes, and the town halls are just performative. Then there are layoffs. I don't know a single person who's actually happy working here. Some people are comfortable, sure, but happy? No.

Started here not even half a year ago. Put in the work, learned the systems, made an effort. Now I'm being kicked out with people who've been here for years. What was even the point of hiring me?

I wouldn't mind signing up for it one bit.

My doctor believes I should take short-term leave; and I’m wondering if a person is on short-term leave can they be fired or laid off during that time.?

We have a baby due in just a few months and I've never been this scared about job security. I can't afford to be laid off right now. Not with hospital bills coming and a new mouth to feed. Every rumor about cuts makes my stomach drop. I don't know how I'll be able to deal mentally with constant layoff rumors through all of this.

How many employees are left?

I thought I'd retire here, but now I doubt I'll last even until the end of the year.

"The Royal Scam"; an album title from early Steely Dan, that is fitting for today's announcement.

I'm this close to quitting because it'd be a better option mentally to search for a job in this market than have to worry about having one 24/7.

Clearly, AI is going to do all the human empathy and communication work of humans...

If there were multiple people impacted in the group there is a high probability that more will be targeted in August. We lost three good members and more than likely this group and will be impacted soon. MIGs.

There were so many cuts lately that every person on my team now does the work of two people - if we're lucky! Some are doing even more. When will this end? When we start keeling over?

There's nothing I hate more than when layoffs start on Tuesday and then stretch out throughout the entire week. Everything being done in a single day is much better on my nerves.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical is implementing workforce reductions. The company will eliminate 58 jobs. These cuts are at Amicus Therapeutics' Princeton headquarters. The layoffs are scheduled from August 7 to October 30. The action stems from BioMarin's acquisition and overlapping roles.

I’m pretty low on the totem pole but how big of a change allows for a layoff?

There have been a few high manager changes and I can’t tell if it’s just reshuffling from the layoffs last week vs just flattening out a team reporting line. Anyone have more info?

While Takeda is eliminating 4,500 roles across its global operations, the company has some 2,200 jobs currently open for hiring, for which internal candidates will be prioritized.

Economic opportunity is one of the societal issues of our time, and Linkedin has been and will continue to be the platform that professionals and companies turn to as they navigate the changing world of work. For us to meet this moment, we must ready ourselves to deliver a step change in impact across our products, businesses, and platforms, while continuing to operate more profitably. We need to reinvent how we work, with agile teams focused on our highest priorities, and by shifting investments toward areas such as infrastructure to fulfill our mission and vision over the long term. This requires hard prioritization and tradeoffs.

Today I'm sharing the difficult decision that I, along with our leadership team, have made to reduce roles across GBO, Marketing, Engineering and Product. If you are impacted, or proposed to be impacted in EMEA & APAC, by these changes, you will receive a calendar invite to a notification meeting within the next hour. For impacted teams, you'll learn more about your org-specific information from your leaders shortly, and updates will be added to go/CompanyExchange throughout today.

In addition to role reductions, we are scaling back investments in some areas including marketing campaigns, vendor spend, customer events, and underutilized office space, so we can focus teams on priorities that have the broadest impact with the highest ROl. You will receive details about these changes from respective functional leaders.

I want to acknowledge and thank those who will be leaving Linkedin. You have helped build LinkedIn's culture and platform into what it is today, and I hope you are proud of the lasting impact your work will continue to have on our members, customers, and colleagues.
For those staying, first and foremost, I would like to invite you to support our impacted colleagues. We will move forward together with focus and clear priorities to reach our potential as the platform that the world's professionals and companies increasingly turn to.

Thank you, again, to our teammates who are departing, and to everyone across LinkedIn who continues to show up and support each other.

The Hamilton Southeastern Education Association criticized HSE Schools. They opposed the district's decision to lay off 18 teachers. The union proposed retirement buyouts as an alternative solution. HSE Schools cited financial pressures and enrollment adjustments for the cuts. These 18 teachers represented over 100 combined years of experience.
