#layoffs

Iowa experienced its highest number of layoffs in twelve months during June, with 656 workers affected. Whirlpool Corporation and the Iowa Department of Management were the primary drivers of these job cuts. Whirlpool's Middle Amana plant saw significant reductions, continuing a trend of declining employment there. The state's IT sector also faced substantial job losses as the Department of Management privatizes services. Additional manufacturing closures contributed to the overall increase in affected workers.

Does management genuinely believe the recent PADP/MLPR changes are the best way for EM to meet its goals? If the real aim is headcount reduction, there are far less damaging approaches that don’t undermine morale. Does EM HR, the MC or board truly see these changes as strengthening the company, given the risks they introduce?

“When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them”. Same goes for companies. They’ve been showing you that they don’t value you or your contributions to the business and you should believe them! They’re not kidding.

You have skills, whether it’s in sales, engineering, analytics, or other. Use those skills to shift to an industry that is more stable and that acts like it values you.

Local manufacturing leaders are stepping up to assist employees facing job losses at Four Winns. B & P Manufacturing is actively recruiting and encouraging displaced workers to apply for open positions. A dedicated job fair is scheduled to connect these individuals with potential employers in the area. Several other local companies are also seeking skilled tradespeople, emphasizing the continued demand for their expertise. The community is working to retain these valuable workers and prevent a significant exodus of talent.

+/-4500 for total reduction across various orgs and stores. I

Like others here most would like to keep their jobs, to not have to start all over again. Nobody wished for layoffs, firings, etc. There were many times since the layoffs started that I would pray for that Golden Tuesday after payday. One would post about here and hear the smug response, I'd like to keep my job. Well wouldn't any person working just to survive. Now like others around me, the staged mid years are going on and we're getting not meets. Not meets we're told means NO severance. Like they're saying, chase the new carrot. Improve by year end or get fired, no severance for you. The kicker is they've changed the formula used for evals, where you're going to be not meets no matter what you do. They've hired 1,000's of new hires. I guess they've filled the quotas of cheap labor in the Philippines. The new hire class should be hitting the floor we're told in Roanoke, VA in the near future. Seems like that's when the closing Richmond site, will start the firings and the layoffs. As for me, since the cushy keeping the job is not an option...I am praying for a Tuesday after payday displacement. I'm envious of those fortunate to have been laid off with the golden ticket and 60 day non-working period. In retrospect, what good did it do to stay waiting for severance?! They've made it a no win situation. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The firings will continue, and they're saying sc--w your morale...they just want you to F off.

I wish people would stop parroting the "impacted" euphemism. It's either "laid off" or "fired". Not even "RIF", because that implies that the job is gone. The job is never gone, it's just done by someone else that remains.

Layoff decisions should not rely solely on manager recommendations. They should also be supported by objective data from internal systems, including actual work completed, project contributions, performance metrics, and productivity. Using verifiable data alongside manager feedback can help ensure a fair and transparent process and reduce the risk of incorrect decisions.

Instead of relying only on manager recommendations, layoff decisions should also consider employees’ actual work, contributions, and performance data available in internal systems. This would help ensure that hardworking, high-performing employees are treated fairly and that decisions are based on objective criteria rather than per

Layoff decisions should be based on fair and transparent criteria. It’s difficult to understand why some employees who were away for weeks were retained while regular contributors were laid of

If I survive another round of layoffs rest assured I will be doing the bare minimum as I have been for months. I will be expect nothing more from my teams. This company is trash and are crazy if they think I will give more than 30% and that is on a good day. I am here buying my time, cashing a check and enjoying the benefits. F Verizon !

Real estate ad shows the BD site in San Antonio is available. I know they had cut staff before, but did they shut the location?

Has anybody tried to negotiate their severance, especially from this most recent layoff? Tips, tricks etc … they denied my counter

Is it true that they just let go all of customer care on the 4th floor of Lehi?

Anyone know when we will know if we are safe or not? Sure heard first week of August but how is that when they keep changing the dates of everything else?

No one wants to lose their job including myself. Does anyone know if they are still offering the 2 weeks per year. I would think so but some band 4-5 might know.... I'm band 7 so I'm sure I'll find out or maybe not. Please share if you know, and sorry to all those hit. This really does su-k, I'm in PSO.

This good…..

Cisco Systems Inc. President Jeetu Patel said artificial intelligence is likely to reshape the global workforce by creating more jobs than it eliminates

"I've been saying this for months, and the early data is beginning to support it. Five years from now, I believe AI will create more jobs than it eliminates,"

Is there one other person saying this? Certainly not CR with all the layoffs.

Any news on what stores in WA are impacted?

There's a bit of some odd astroturfing or something going on right before/after the layoffs? Not going to call on anyone here. Mental heath issues? Trolls?

Layoffs confirmed at the support office today, on the owned brand teams, over 10 individuals. Managers were not notified, employees got meetings on their calendars the night before. Terminated effective immediately... Any other teams affected?

Who all got affected?

Well the news is out…. Over 250 stores, directors, sr directors…all because someone “accidentally” sent the email out today instead of tomorrow

has anyone heard of any stores in california closing or turning indirect?

From another district and just got off a call these stores will be impacted and or going to indirect with options to either take the package or continue with indirect once fully transforms

Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago is outsourcing the entire helpdesk department to India. All of the American employees will be fired on September 1st and are currently training their Indian replacements.

Since all of the layoffs over the past 6-12 months, I’ve been actively applying for internal and external jobs. I finally got an interview internally, but I’m curious what are everyone’s opinions on what parts of the company would not be worth moving to? Thanks all, have a good week.

Has anyone heard anything about the older and tenured employees being offered severance if their age + tenure is over 60? I would gladly volunteer to go so that someone younger could keep their position.

Several have been communicated to today. The rest in the morning. Any word on what groups are impacted?

If you’re a Band 6 people leader in the CXO, you’re impacted. About 90% of Band 5 is impacted and already informed on Monday.

At this rate, I don’t have much hope for individual contributors. I also don’t know what Tanya is going to do with her VP, Digital Channels title.
Good luck everyone

How many were impacted and what areas

CEO said

‘If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world.”

Regarding why we have not reduced the number of the personnel, it is true that our business has its ups and downs every few years, and of course, our ideal situation is to make a profit even in the low periods, return these profits to investors and maintain a high share price. I believe we should continue working toward this ideal. If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, however, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world. I believe we can become profitable with the current business structure in consideration of exchange rate trends and popularization of our platforms in the future. We should of course cut unnecessary costs and pursue efficient business operations. I also know that some employers publicize their restructuring plan to improve their financial performance by letting a number of their employees go, but at Nintendo, employees make valuable contributions in their respective fields, so I believe that laying off a group of employees will not help to strengthen Nintendo’s business in the long run. Our current policy is to achieve favorable results by continuously cutting unnecessary expenses and increasing business efficiency. Thank you for listening

Anyone got any info on the employee survey or when it may come out? I want to see if they are brave enough to send it while the tons of folks they just surplussed are still on payroll or if they will bi--h out and send it after (i.e September or October before the next round of layoffs hit)

Given what's happened to spcx, smh, igv, smci, are we seeing the peeling off of the AI trade that now appears to have claimed ibm?

Heard there were many rounds over the last two weeks…

Also saw that a ton of internal team members got promoted at the same time 🙄

It often feels like employees with strong connections or managerial support receive more flexibility, while regular, hardworking employees are the ones most affected during layoffs. Performance should matter more than favoritism.
