Oracle has implemented new job reductions impacting its Stargate data center in Abilene, Texas. These layoffs coincide with a significant increase in the company's capital expenditures, particularly for artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company is forecasting substantial spending in the coming years to support its AI initiatives. This workforce restructuring is occurring simultaneously with aggressive investments in computing capacity. The affected employees were notified through email after their access to company systems was revoked.

Please only reply with factual information. Are we expecting any layoffs for this Thursday with expecting a big layoff in October? And do we have a date for October? Areas/teams to be hit? All grades? Optum/UHC/CHC employees? I know its the last quarter and it can be rumor mill on this site, so don't always like to get worked up over nothing, but also can't change what's going to happen.

Johnson & Johnson Services Inc. is laying off 87 employees at its New Brunswick facility. This action contributes to over 1,000 layoffs in New Jersey for September. The affected workers will be let go on December 18, 2026. This subsidiary handles corporate and administrative functions for the healthcare giant. This filing is one of nine layoff notices received by the state in September.

Smaller, frequent layoffs are impacting Seattle's technology industry, contributing to a significant slowdown. These consistent reductions are quietly eroding the economic foundation that has driven the city's expansion. State filings reveal numerous layoff announcements affecting local workers throughout the year. The cumulative effect of these cuts is a notable decrease in information sector jobs. This trend signals a substantial shift for the traditionally high-growth tech industry.

Is it true they laid off all the site managers, or field operation techs, or whatever they call them now?

It seems like there are senior leaders that peruse this site. If they were to ask your feedback about the upcoming org changes and layoffs what would be your recommendations?

Since the onset of all these recent changes, reduction in workforce, and major leadership shifts we have seen so many changes in the organization. With the way they are shifting away from the normal process for formulating our campaigns and it makes it look like they’ll likely start purging people from Marketing and Demand Generation based in this new model they are leveraging. I do not feel like I have job security. To speak candidly, I was more cautiously optimistic prior to this and now I am legitimately worried for me and fellow coworkers. Am I the only one that feels this way? I can just feel there’s going to be another round of layoffs before the end of the year. Thoughts?

(the post keep disappearing, hopefully it works this time)

This might be entertaining to some.

A friend of mine was interviewing for a new role and got asked 3 specific questions: why he left his previous job at Cigna, and if he still had a good relationship with them. Then interviewer asked why he thinks Cigna laid off a lot of people and the friend told them about HIH and how most Cigna IT jobs moved to India.

The interviewer explained that they were building a US-based team specifically for a Cigna client account, and he would need to interact with them regularly.

The funny part is, my friend’s skillset is highly niche, and Cigna only has one specific team that uses this tool. When the interviewer started laying out the specific systems he'd be maintaining, my friend casually replied, "Yeah, I was one of those who built those."

The agency was unknowingly trying to hire him back into the exact same team he had just left.

Anyone with similar experience. Is Cigna finally realizing their mistakes?

Anyone else feel like a VZ Pulse Survey is just an indicator that another round of RIFs and restructuring is coming? I’d guess, from the timing, that an announcement will happen in October with severance dates effective December/January. I have no proof, other than historical rounds following survey these last couple years.

I mean how low can we go.

They have a new rule once you leave imperial you can’t even come back as contractors.

Any layoffs in CEGBU Australia?

You should buy a piece of bull sh-t for $200 each or a piece of bear sh-t for $20 after a layoff ?

I am hearing about many people let go.. How deep were the cuts?

FICO 235%
LN 78%
Verisk 22%
Equifax 32%
Experian 15%
TransUnion 8%

Yet I'm the one losing my job? WTF.

What a joke. I'm fine with the 3-day RTO enforcement, but not counting holidays as in-office is a kick in the teeth, for sure.
The corpo-rat doublespeak is glaring. Sure, "we are proud of the flexibility of our hybrid model," BUT here are a lot of things making it as inflexible and inconvenient as possible. Also, "most colleagues adhere to the requirements," BUT we felt the need to hit everyone with brutal collective punishments.
I don't know who believes this cr-p; they are not even trying anymore.

Team halving. How on earth are GenPact going ro do construction admin? Males no sense

So that is NRE, NCI, NBUY impacted and NBC restructured and take 10 of the NIT affected people

Atherstone will look very different next year

Today when the bell rings. The final reckoning begins. Nike is going to reap what its owed. The years of woke advertisement, DEI, the coverups, the bad choices they kept making. It's all boomeranging back. The allainating of the man in the street, it's over.
Today it begins, and October 1 it ends.

With all the layoffs and closings, you'd think we didn't have money for such escapades, right?

Does that mean we shouldn't worry about layoffs for a while?

Things changed dramatically after my last manager was laid off and the new one came in. The constant criticism, micromanagement, and obvious favoritism have made the job exhausting. I'm actually finding myself hoping my position gets eliminated because leaving with severance sounds better than continuing like this. That's how bad it's gotten.

Employees across several functions were said to be affected, including:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Customer Hardware Support
Enterprise Engineering
CI/CD and Observability teams
Customer Success Services
Oracle Health
HR Technology
Data centre compliance functions
NetSuite sales operations

More layoffs last week. More coming. Those in tech need to be aware the new tech center is absorbing their role!

The next person with most experience has been here for a little over a year. Needless to say, I spend most of my time explaining how things work instead of doing my actual job. I'm this close to just quitting and lettings them figure it all out by themselves. I wonder how that's going to work out for the management who got rid of everybody with any experience.

Is it the same like in the last round?

Every single one brings layoffs. Somehow roles which have nothing to do with it are always classified as redundant (I've seen it happen again and again) and people are kicked out. Every single time it's used as an excuse to get rid of good, hardworking people.

When we made toys every kid wanted to have? When layoffs were not something we had to think about all the time? Can we go back to those times? I miss them.

They really conditioned us well, didn't they? To the point where knowing there won't be layoffs during a given week seems like something out of the normal.

• Wells Fargo shed almost 80,000 workers since 2019 and expects more cuts.
• The bank uses autonomous coding agents to replace hiring and contractor work.
• AI helps Wells Fargo reduce costs in legal, finance and call center operations.

I'm hearing there'll be more cuts in October. I'm honestly not sure how many more people they can cut without the whole system crashing, but I guess they want to find that out. Anyhow, I was just wondering if somebody knows more about the next round. Please share if you do.

Layoffs are now always a possibility. I'm not saying to leave, though. You can be happy with your job and still pay attention to what's happening outside the company. Know which employers are hiring and keep track of what your skills are worth in the market. That doesn't mean sending out applications every night. It just means you won't be starting from zero if something happens.

If any. I'm just curious how this will affect employees.

Will there be more?

Will USAA drop TCS? They operate out of a GCC in India which was named a national security threat. If this happens, will they resort to freezing the layoffs of those recently affected in areas like fraud and aml no be able to make
Up for the work that would be illegal for TCS to do?

Sad days for American Citizens!

Another round of layoffs in CCG with an excuse of budget cuts.

I have been impacted when I was promised promotion next year. They said I will get promoted because of my performance then why layoff( confused)

I worked so hard and still got laid off, this is depressing😔

seems like they're starting to get targeted, anyone else see them at your locations??
