Managers are wary of not having any humans left to control and exploit their hard work to generate wealth for the globalist rich 1%. Nerds can now exploit bots and managers’ jobs are becoming redundant.

If you're good at your job you have nothing to worry about. If you're not, then well... start updating that resume my subnormal friends

They come from every organization, bringing a wide range of expertise and experience. Together, they could potentially form a new team or company capable of competing for—and even taking—contracts currently held by Hughes.

Are there any rules around this? I'm scheduled to come back from my leave of absence in October

Theres more chance of Jesus Christ reappearing on earth this week than there is of PayPal announcing layoffs

They are a bunch of absolute scaremongering sc-ms

Boycott them for life

What entire teams have been laid off etc? I’m hearing entire teams were laid off :( this is awful… I’m in the MO area . I wish they’d send some sort of update on all of this already instead of keeping everyone in the dark ab stuff…

While forcing employees to return to the office and laying off office workers, the director of security response and his direct report have been working from home in their sweatpants from Texas for years.

Well into 2026 and nothing have changed, will there be an end? anybody affected recently?

After the layoffs, they placed people who have no idea what they're doing in management positions over teams, they have NO clue what they do. It's so insulting to a team, to have a manager ask you "what exactly do you do" or "how do you do this?" because you laid off their supervisor who handled all of this work.

No training or anything, no wonder why Cigna wants to sell us.

Those getting NI at meta are coping by saying 'we are still top 1% of all engineers in tech'. Can you imagine the arrogance ? Many mediocre DEI hires are still working here. They were hired NOT for their ability. Combine that with ethnic favoritism where a true NI never gets NI b/c manager and report are from same country. Meta needs a deep cleanse, a reset. The toxicity has hit a new high.

I will be leaving Exxon soon, but will likely have a couple week gap before starting my new role. I will likely be gone before end of August, but new job starts mid September. For anyone who has recently left Exxon, either through layoffs or voluntarily, how did health insurance work after your last day?

Specifically, does Exxon coverage continue through the end of the month in which you leave, or does it end on your actual termination date?

Also, for anyone who used COBRA, was there a gap where you could wait to elect it and then have coverage applied retroactively if you ended up needing it?

Trying to understand how people handled a short gap between Exxon coverage ending and coverage starting with a new employer.

Thanks!

INCOMING!

Heard this location is closing in Nov 26'. Can anyone confirm? Bank relocating wealth MGMT and I heard they're getting rid of short term cash/money desk.

Getting laid off from Truist was the best thing that happened to me. It just took time to see it.

It's the same everywhere. New people come in at a discount, and people who've been here longer and cost more get pushed out the other side. It's not about skill or loyalty. It's about the spreadsheet. The room only holds so many people, and they've already decided which door you're getting pushed through.

That's No Moon, a game studio founded by industry veterans, has recently undergone layoffs.

Been here for six years, top performer, got zero promotions. "Promotion coming" has been a chorus I've been hearing almost weekly for the past three years. And yet here I am, still waiting. If you want to grow your career, make sure to stay away as far as you can from Cigna.

Technology giant Lenovo is implementing workforce reductions. These layoffs will impact employees at its Morrisville campus. The exact number of affected individuals has not been disclosed.

Socorro Independent School District has seen its credit rating improved from negative to stable by Moody's. This upgrade reflects significant financial progress made over the past two years. The district achieved this by implementing budget cuts and workforce reductions. These difficult decisions included eliminating approximately 150 positions through layoffs and incentive programs. The improved rating provides the district with greater financial flexibility and demonstrates responsible stewardship of taxpayer funds.

It's losing its reason. It used to be a way of life, then a career, then a job. Now it's just an insecure paycheck. The current management seems focused on running it into the ground, and nobody's fighting to save it. Watching a once-great company circle the drain is brutal.

Live Nation and Veeps have laid off nearly all employees at several influential music publications. These publications, including BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine, were vital to underground music culture. Experts note that corporate acquisitions often lead to such outcomes for independent media. The loss is seen as a significant blow to alternative and punk music scenes. This move comes despite Live Nation's recent strong financial performance.

So Cameron is interviewed by “Business Roundtable” who in-turn post on their LinkedIn page , QUOTE- “ The American Dream is all about opportunity, the belief that with hard work, determination and the right support, you can really accomplish anything in this country “ -Cameron Brady

Are you kidding me ? What kind of lies from the straight pits of he-l is this non sense and did McKinsey write that for him . Tell that to the countless bodies, families and lives shattered over the last years since his tyrannical leadership and 1000’s of folks ( many really good folks ) laid off after their “hard work and determination” got them a big fat RIF.

Nobody that has any sense and knows Global Payments believes this cr-p and is drinking this kool aid juice are they ?

Oracle is initiating another round of layoffs, with some departments facing significant cuts. This move follows substantial investments in AI infrastructure and a previous reduction of 21,000 employees. The company is seeking to complete these cost-saving measures before the second fiscal quarter begins. These actions come as Oracle's debt and lease commitments have grown considerably. The company has also acknowledged AI's role in past job reductions.

Got word yesterday that enough people took the vsp so we were all safe……for now. Any idea if Centene will do another round of layoffs after today? Im surprised our roles weren’t outsourced to illiterate overseas cheap a** laborers

Expect more today and tomorrow.

I remember when AT&T meant quality, not layoffs and bad news. Miss those days.

Thousands of nurses are protesting proposed layoffs at 17 CommonSpirit Health hospitals across California. Over 5,000 nurses signed a petition urging the company to withdraw its plans. The union argues these cuts will negatively impact patient safety and care quality. Hospital staff were notified of the proposed layoffs in June. CommonSpirit cites economic pressures and rising costs as reasons for the reductions.

I get the anger, I've certainly felt it myself, but I don't understand people who want to see Dell crash and burn. What good would that actually do? It would saturate the job market, leave thousands upon thousands of families scrambling, and solve nothing. I want things to improve, not explode. I'm not sure what hoping for destruction is going to achieve for any of us.

And it never gets easier. I'm now almost hopeful about getting laid off just to put a stop to it. Almost.

A state watchdog agency has indicated that the Los Angeles Unified School District could have avoided its current financial crisis by not replacing departing staff. The district is now facing significant layoffs to address a $3.6 billion deficit. Despite authorizing thousands of layoffs, only a fraction were implemented, resulting in minimal savings. The district's solvency plan includes further job reductions, furlough days, and benefit changes, all requiring union negotiation. Ultimately, the school board must demonstrate the commitment to execute these necessary cuts.

g'day mates!
Cisco Earnings Call today. Layoffs will be announced (prolly)

It is not whether an LR happens today but rather the toxic culture Cisco has become. Annual goals have shrunk to half-year goals. Sales got consolidated with a paycut. partner 360 is an unpopular, overly complex disaster that was the solution to a problem that never existed.
Cisco has gone all in on AI at the expense of their core strength which has eluded them for years now. They simply forgot that it was the people, specifically the ravenous horde of engineers, that made Cisco successful. Those engineers are being replaced by upskilled sales people because the ELT believes the magical AI genie can replace a CCIE.

The sad truth is that it can and it will. Not yet but the ELT has shifted their focus from long term profitability to value extraction. They are just pulling the meat off of a dead elephant.

reminder that Cisco exists to generate profits and returns for shareholders. Thats it. Stock valuations are forward looking. The stock price is a reflection of the predicted future earnings of the company. CSCO stock did not rise because Cisco had a good quarter or year (in the past) . CSCO rose because Cisco leadership showed that they are willing to engage in permanent, ongoing labor cost reductions (in the form of frequent LRs) and drive down wages (changing roles and compensation plans) in order to generate profits and returns for shareholders. The street loves that. Fewer employees and lower wages per remaining employee leads to great short term profits and creates an enormous amount of pressure inside the workforce. AI is used to surveille and monitor employees. AI is getting better at replacing tasks and complete jobs. The coveted CCIE is now an LLM (Deep Network Model) that was trained by long term cisco employees.

The Hunger Games have begun inside Cisco. Wage reductions have started. Its a race to the bottom and the ELT will squeeze every drop of profit out of the survivors while they train their AI replacements in real-time.

Distributor Essendant has warned of a possible shutdown, impacting at least 1,100 employees through layoffs.

This new transportation grant program aims to ease the burden for families utilizing open enrollment. Eligible students can receive up to $1,000 to cover travel costs to higher-rated schools.

Mission Simplify: layoffs, outsourcing, and offshore hiring (through Alorica and JobHai). Employees ask: who's really benefiting?

Mission Simplify cuts jobs while offshore hiring grows. Employee trust and morale continue to erode.

As U.S. jobs disappear and offshore roles expand, many see Mission Simplify as anything but simple.

$365M in severance. Offshore hiring expands. Employees question the direction of Mission Simplify.

The bridge between leadership and employees weakens when layoffs and offshore expansion occur together.

Mission Simplify: American jobs out, offshore jobs in. Workers and members are taking notice.

Someone in India is more valuable than you right now.
