#layoffs

They just laid off a whole team of US base virtual customer service representative yesterday, April 29, 2026

Hearing of layoffs across the company from SVPs, VPs, Directors to the Operations level

Unpopular opinion: many of the people who were let go weren’t adding enough value to justify their roles. If we’re being honest, there’s probably more inefficiency still left in the system.

Anyone know about this? I saw it on nj.com

40 let go last week. A couple were people that were the only person that worked on their particular project in their capacity. I wish them well. It's basically monthly now.

Doesn’t seem like any layoffs are taking place today????

Did you anyone receive them email that was sent out this morning about Cigna getting rid of IFP plans starting in 2027? What does this mean for our jobs? If Cigna is no longer offering IFP PLANS starting 2027, does this mean employees in that department will also be fired? I’m just trying to understand all of this.

If you are placed on 60 day no work notice. Do you accumulate PTO during that time to be paid out on or catch up to PTO used but not yet accrued? Thanks!

Workday IT support and legal have reviewed everything. They are now testing the data loads into workday. Pipeline is built out and the final kinks are being worked out now. Its been 6 months since the last one, most leaders are worried, on high alert, and ready for movement to get going next week. Lists were made a couple months ago based on the scripting and code prompts being run in workday for testing the last 2-3 weeks. If your manager doesn't think this is true they just have their head in the sand. Q1 results good or bad would change stop this from happening, this is Dan's plan "cut cut cut and cut so more". We took on billions in new debt, cutting employees is the only way to pay that back. Expect another one next quarter before the stock grant is given in October.

hi,
Hoping anyone impacted today might find this thread and post whatever info they can for the rest of us anxious souls.
Good luck everyone! ❤️

Nike has just posted multiple openings at IRC to backfill the roles that were laid off.
So, in other words, it was not a layoff, but simply outsourcing.

Over hiring in past 5 years
AI is coming
Space is limited
100% in office is coming
RIF coming to go back to headcount 65~70K

Seems to be no rhyme or reason for who was placed where and the decisions that were made. What the Fu*k?

Anyone from the previous round willing to share their age and salary grade? Curious if the same age groups or grades are being targeted in the cuts rumored for today.

I believe we'll only be safe come Monday.

How’s it going in the stores without their beauty merchandisers?! Are the cosmetics associates doing the job? Visual captain?! Is stuff getting done?! Why would anyone think it was a great idea to cut them? If anything there should be a full time and a part time at every store! They’re important because they do a lot in 40 hours a week! Mind you, the pay should align better too.

A beverage distribution company reached an agreement to sell its Texas operations. This sale could result in 90 local job losses. The potential layoffs are expected in June. Texas law requires 60 days' notice before potential mass layoffs. This notice protects workers and their families.

North Thurston Public Schools board paused proposed layoffs. This decision followed significant public outcry at a recent meeting. The district faced a $10 million budget deficit. Proposed cuts included mental health specialists and physical therapists. Enrollment decline and rising expenses contributed to the financial shortfall.

Marsden Services is laying off 106 employees at its Louisville facility. The company's facility services warehouse permanently ceased operations. Layoffs are scheduled to begin on May 10.

New Jersey City University (NJCU) recently notified employees about potential layoffs or demotions. These notices followed the Middle States Commission on Higher Education's approval of a merger with Kean University. The university aims to address a projected $25-$30 million budget gap. This is a second wave of reductions, after 151 employees were cut in February. NJCU will become Kean-Jersey City University on July 1.

Anyone have any info on what KSC clinics are closing for good? I know our path of growth was too aggressive, but didn’t think closing clinics was the solution. I always assumed they would just do a hiring freeze instead of laying off WellMed employees they just onboarded within the last 6 months….Good luck to anyone who gets cut today. It is tough out there.

Thoughts? One more Wave? Two? All done.

Almost all folks in my circle think it's at least one.

Since my ISU got a big cut, I’ve officially entered my "Linux Villain Era." I finally installed Ubuntu 26.04 and banned my work laptop from the house in the evening and weekends—mostly because I prefer my OS without a side of corporate heavy eavesdropping. If the budget is gone, my "extra mile" just hit a dead end.

Seeking some verification regarding potential headcount reductions within TDKYC and the AML remediation project. Reports suggest that both full-time employees and contractors may be impacted as project phases conclude or as part of the bank's broader restructuring. Can anyone provide insight into whether these specific groups are currently in scope for layoffs?

Anyone hear anything yet about upcoming layoffs? Saw a loss of $1.9B loss in 2025 in the news. I know there is integration work going on in Medicare. What's everyone thinking?

Talked to a former coworker who has survived the carnage at AirMI. The breadth of layoffs on the technical team is breathtaking. Either the plan is to move airbag manufacturing overseas and ignore all of the IP-related arguments to keep production in the US, or the forecast for future airbag development and production is dismal for many years out. Either way, a team that was creative, talented, and nimble has been decimated and will never be the same.

In 2025 Nike’s seven highest paid executives were paid a combined $101,255,247.

If you assume the average Nike corporate employee in Beaverton makes $115,000/year, that means in 2025 those seven executives made the same amount of money as 880 Beaverton employees. Combined.

Remind me, how many Beaverton employees were or will be let go this week? Isn’t that number in the same neighborhood as 880?

Sometimes I wonder, “Why do facts like THIS never seem to garner the attention, and understandable anger, they deserve?” I mean, if those execs were simply paid half that amount they’d STILL be incredibly well-compensated and incredibly wealthy. And 440 jobs could have been kept with no net, negative outcome to Nike’s financial bottom line.

But that wasn’t a priority, was it?

Even now, those execs could voluntarily take a substantial pay cut as a gesture of good will towards those employees laid off and those who remain. But does anyone want to bet money on that happening? Yeah, I wouldn’t make that bet either.

There’s plenty to be mad about with these layoffs. Unfortunately most people will continue to ignore the gross, frankly disgusting pay inequity that - as I demonstrated above - had a direct and negative impact on hundreds of employees and the families who rely on those people.

If you aren’t fuming mad, you aren’t paying enough attention to the corporate looting that’s occurring right under your noses.

Hey everyone I was let today and just want to see if we can get some numbers.
Sorry to all affected we're in the same boat

Roles / TC / Location also would be appreciated

Heard through the grapevine that there would be layoffs this week, can anyone confirm?

Hi everyone, I was impacted in this round of layoffs. I'll spare everyone the s-b story but I was with the company for 15 years, which is almost my entire professional career, and it's my first time in this situation. I'd appreciate any advice

How do I know if my severance package is good? Should I get someone to review it even if it is good, just help me understand what the he-l all of the corporate jargon actually means?

When can I file for unemployment? Yesterday was my last day but that isn't my separation date. When I tried entering it, the unemployment site told me the separation date couldn't be in the future.

Pretty neat cnbc got the CEO email before employees. One positive I guess is that 15% layoffs are on hold, for now, but seems like we have a solid number in mind now.

Curious everyone's thoughts

Florida's teacher compensation ranks 50th among all states. The National Education Association published this annual report. The state's starting teacher pay ranks 19th. Teacher wages increased 3.3% from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026. Low compensation leads to staff layoffs and fewer students.

Hershey has reportedly reduced its workforce for a second time in April 2026. The exact number of affected jobs remains unclear. Impacted non-unionized staff in Canada are seeking legal advice regarding their rights. Severance pay for these employees is determined by common law, not just internal policy. Workers are advised not to sign any severance offers immediately and to seek legal counsel.
