Another 300 redundancies. Has anyone got more information on this?

Bitwise Asset Management has reduced its global workforce by 14%, impacting approximately 155 employees. CEO Hunter Horsley stated this adjustment positions the company for continued growth despite the current market conditions. The firm's net assets have seen a significant decrease in the first seven months of 2026. Despite these layoffs, Bitwise has pursued strategic acquisitions, including Chorus One. This move aligns with a broader trend of layoffs across the crypto industry as companies adapt to market pressures.

Baltimore Gas and Electric plans to lay off 67 employees by next spring, according to the union representing its workers. The company cites a sustained lack of work, attributing it to proactive maintenance and leak repairs reducing the need for internal staff. The union criticizes this move, stating BGE has increased spending on more expensive contractors recently. They also highlight BGE's profitability and warn of future service reliability issues and increased customer costs. BGE acknowledges the layoffs as a necessary restructuring for affordable and reliable service.

No more layoffs for at least a while?

If the goal is to reach the minimum number of people we can have and still manage to function properly, can we just go ahead and get there now? Just have one huge layoff round, get rid of everybody you want, and then let us go back to work without layoffs hanging over our heads 24/7. These incremental cuts are so much worse than anything.

There were 300 layoffs last week in PSS globally. It’s being kept very hush hush.

Well after being laid off for a year, I got a call from an Infosys recruiter asking if I was interest in my old job as a contractor .. I laughed and said, not interested .. I suspect that other groups like the Torretta Org will do the same thing and continue layoffs to shed cost and pick up no benefit contractors to backfill .

I’ve seen the article and all the rumours, but there’s one thing I can’t reconcile. We have some actual history to compare this against:
• Last summer, Oracle filed WARN notices in Washington ahead of layoffs — including filings covering 161 employees in August and another 101 reported in September 2025.
• For the March 31/April 2026 cuts, Oracle again triggered WARN in at least some locations. Washington reported a WARN filing covering 491 employees. (Bizjournals)

Federal WARN generally requires 60 days’ advance notice

Business Insider is reporting another round of Oracle cuts planned for August, with some teams potentially facing double-digit percentage reductions.

I’m not seeing the WARN filings so thoroughly confused. I know that doesn’t mean layoffs aren’t happening.

How are the cuts structured so that we aren’t seeing WARN notices? Are they spread across enough U.S. locations that individual sites stay below WARN thresholds? Are a significant percentage outside the U.S.? Is timing being staggered? Or is the reported scale simply being overstated?

And I don’t think “it’s remote employees” automatically answers it.

That’s the piece I’m trying to understand. The lack of WARN activity seems off given what happened in spring & last year

I was let go last September and at least had a Zoom call, unlike the March mass e-mail RIF. Now that Oracle has a taste for e-mail RIF I can't imagine they go back to hundreds or thousands of zoom calls. Either way, if you are on the list your computer access will be disabled almost immediately after notification. Get your personal documents off of your work computer while you can, and ask for the personal contact information for people you want to keep in contact with. You won't have a chance later on. When Oracle decides they are done with you, you are done in an instant.

It’s been real quite. I want to say that we are safe… no more layoffs ??

I’ve recently been offered a corporate position in a software development role that pays more than other offers I’ve received. I’m a US citizen, and I’d have to relocate to Jersey City for the role. Is it worth relocating to a more expensive city with Schwab?

My current company is constantly laying departments off and outsourcing, and I’m worried about going to a similar or worse environment.

Can the H1B petitions be filed simultaneously after already laying off 21K and now another similar double digit number within 3 months.

This is absolute mockery of immigration system.

Sharp Healthcare-256 just let go across the system, 150 @Mesa Vista. What is the quality of care going to be like???

I am very curious how a company like Dell, where layoffs happen almost every Monday, even survive for so long?! How do we support our products and quality?

I was told the ISP is done for my department so I'm safe. But makes me wonder for how long. I just started at Centene in April after being laid off from another company. I'm so burnt out. I'm acting happy and taking on extra work but my morale is gone. I don't know how much I can handle the lack of ceos caring about their employees.

I haven't seen anyone cite the Federal WARN Act in their posts or responses; with this being a layoff of more than 50 people, would the WARN Act not apply in this situation? If so, they would need to provide 60 days notice, or at least the equivalent in pay/severance. At least that's what I thought. Is my understanding incorrect?

Seriously, how many VPs does one company need?

At Omnicell, the org chart sometimes feels less like a lean healthcare technology company and more like a VP convention with an occasional product roadmap thrown in.

You have to wonder:

👉 What does everyone actually do all day?
👉 How many “strategic alignment” meetings or “workshops” can one organization possibly have?
👉 And how many VPs does it take to schedule another meeting with the other VPs?

Then there are titles that make you stop and wonder whether the role exists because the company genuinely needs it—or because somebody needed another box on the organizational chart.

And yes… VP of Internal Communications.

That one might actually be justified. Someone has to spend all day figuring out how to turn:

“We’re eliminating your position”

into

“We’re strategically realigning our workforce to unlock future opportunities.” 😂

Maybe the real innovation at Omnicell isn’t automation.

It’s automating the creation of executive titles.

How many VPs are too many?

Asking for the shareholders. 👀

Anyone hear if layoffs are happening in the October timeframe?

If there were any staffing changes affecting your team today, please share:
