#layoffs

I know at least 50 folks were let go across the board - maybe more…

OK, so I have sympathy for everyone who's impacted, and nobody deserves this. They don't need to get rid of all the directors and VPs because some of them actually know what they're doing. But seriously, and objectively, they should get rid of the ones who have no understanding of the ins and outs of the team. Their biggest contributions are taking credit for their managers' and ICs' work, creating unnecessary bureaucracy, and dragging everyone into endless, pointless meetings. The team/org would honestly run much better without them.

Recent Town Hall someone asked about more layoffs and the answer was clear - Enbridge isn’t doing any more mass layoffs. So they told us what we want to hear but they are just playing games. They are doing micro layoffs instead and just keeping quiet about it.

Is anyone on this meeting with Marissa??? What is happening….. why are they allowing people to change their minds. What a poorly lead organization. This is PHCO. We can also request a negotiation of our separation date…………

Was just laid off today. Cloud Engineering. I know of at least 6 others

Visa is implementing significant layoffs, cutting 2,600 jobs, which represents nearly 7% of its total workforce. This decision comes despite the company reporting substantial double-digit revenue growth in its latest financial quarter. The payments giant is strategically realigning its operations to enhance efficiency and integrate artificial intelligence more deeply into its processes. This move by Visa follows similar workforce reductions announced by other California-based companies, including Intel, Uber, and Patreon. These collective actions highlight a trend of restructuring and automation impacting various sectors within the state.

Whatever you just saw was 7%. No where is that anywhere near enough for whatever Visa is trying to achieve as part of the 2030 strategy that is constantly being touted.

Layoffs will be an annual strategy moving forward. More offshoring to lower cost regions like Poland. For those teams with sister teams in lower cost regions, you're merely training your future replacements.

By the time Ryan and Rajat leave the company, Visa will be a shell of its former self, and they'll just point to CBDCs as the cause instead of take accountability for their actions.

Pixar is reducing its workforce by 108 employees, with most departures scheduled by late September. The animation studio's layoff notices have drawn significant attention due to the use of branded stationery. The letterhead prominently features Mrs. Incredible, a character known for her resilience, in place of a letter in the Pixar logo. This choice has been widely criticized online as tone-deaf and ironic, especially given the context of job losses. The cuts are part of a larger restructuring effort by The Walt Disney Company.

Central Oregon school districts are implementing significant budget reductions for the upcoming school year due to declining enrollment, increased expenses, and insufficient state and federal funding. Bend-La Pine, Redmond, and Jefferson County school districts are making substantial cuts, while Crook County has made minor adjustments. These districts have managed to eliminate numerous positions through attrition and reassignment, avoiding actual layoffs for staff. The primary drivers for these deficits include changes in state poverty weighting calculations and inadequate special education funding models. While efforts are being made to minimize impact on students, some class sizes may slightly increase.

Visa achieved a historic milestone by surpassing $4 trillion in quarterly payments volume, demonstrating robust growth in both consumer and commercial transactions. This strong performance was further bolstered by a significant 34% year-over-year increase in value-added services revenue, largely driven by FIFA World Cup marketing initiatives. Despite this financial strength, the company announced a workforce reduction, primarily impacting technology and product roles. Management has raised its full-year earnings and revenue growth forecasts, signaling confidence in continued business momentum. The savings from these layoffs are intended to be reinvested into future growth areas like stablecoin and agentic commerce.

Electronic Arts executives received substantial bonuses despite recent employee reductions. CEO Andrew Wilson was awarded nearly $39 million, with other senior leaders also receiving multi-million dollar payouts. These bonuses were reportedly tied to the successful achievement of game development and performance milestones. The company's report detailed successes across franchises like Battlefield, EA Sports FC, Apex, Skate, and The Sims. This compensation structure has drawn attention following the undisclosed number of non-development roles eliminated in the US and India.

The last few years of your career should be your best and most enjoyable as you are supposed to be in roles where you can mentor for succession planning to keep your investment in the company and stock prices continue to rise. XOM has now made those people a target to eliminate. I see senior technical people retiring and some surprisingly resigning before retirement eligibility in a company that is already stretched for talent and experience. Once they get rid of the NRE's which is evident in their plans, there won't be anyone to pass on the practical knowledge on to the next generation. But, do they care?

With the cuts to stuff by the trump admin this was going to happen. For most of us, long term finding work not directly affected by d-mb populist government decisions is probably going to be a good thing.

Next round will be layoffs focused on VPs of all levels and Directors of all levels. Any director with a small number of direct reports to be fired.
