#layoffs

A good life. I was so used to that place that I stayed way too long when I could have been working at a place that has better pay, is actually staffed well, and doesn't have managers who get off on yelling at the rest of us. Give it a try, folks. There are much better employers than Macy's.

Supply chain companies recently announced over 800 job cuts. These layoffs affect warehousing, trucking, and last-mile delivery operations. Contract losses, non-renewals, and facility closures are primary reasons. Saddle Creek Logistics, Ryder System, and Day & Ross USA are among the affected firms. This trend signals ongoing pressure in dedicated and contract freight markets.

Watch how a company makes money. If they're healthy, they invest, they grow, they expand. Profits come from doing more. If they're sick, they cut. They restructure, they lay off, they squeeze. Profits come from doing less with fewer people. That tells you everything about where AT&T really stands.

Will there be more cuts?

I think I've been so stressed for so long that I've finally crossed a hill and now I simply don't give a damn anymore. If they're going to lay me off, fine. It's not as if anything I do will change that decision, so why worry over it? I just do my job and don't think about it anymore. Life's been much better since I adopted this attitude.

I'm still a wreck and stressed beyond words. And at the same time I'm still grieving people who weren't just coworkers, they were family. We ate together, struggled together, celebrated together. Now they're gone and I'm still here. I thought this feeling would pass by now, but it's not. I'm stuck with it.

How much money did we waste on Metaverse? Upwards of $90 billion? It was obvious for years it was a bust but when somebody's ego is so big they can't accept that their brilliant idea is pure sh-t, that's what you get. How many jobs that money could have saved?

No number given, but it's in addition to 66 people affected in February.

The next round of layoffs in Germany was announced today. The plan is to cut 300 of the current 1,400 positions. Since Europe, and Germany in particular, has strong employment protection laws, Oracle will now negotiate the measures with the works council. During the last round, this process took 6–8 weeks.

Please share info on severance. I'd just like to know if there have been any changes (reductions) compared to previous rounds.

Dear Team,

Today we are announcing changes that will impact approximately 1,000 team members at Snap, including 16% of our full time employees, in addition to closing more than 300 open roles. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and I am deeply sorry to the colleagues who will be leaving us. You have made important contributions to Snap, and we are committed to supporting you through this transition.

Last fall, I described Snap as facing a crucible moment, requiring a new way of working that is faster and more efficient, while pivoting towards profitable growth. Over the past several months, we have carefully reviewed the work required to best serve our community and partners, and made tough choices to prioritize the investments we believe are most likely to create long-term value. As a result of these changes, we expect to reduce our annualized cost base by more than $500 million by the second half of 2026, helping to establish a clearer path to net-income profitability.

While these changes are necessary to realize Snap’s long-term potential, we believe that rapid advancements in artificial intelligence enable our teams to reduce repetitive work, increase velocity, and better support our community, partners, and advertisers. We have already witnessed small squads leveraging AI tools to drive meaningful progress across several important initiatives, including Snapchat+, enhanced ad platform performance, and efficiency improvements in our Snap Lite infrastructure.

If you are part of our North America team, please work from home today. In the US, impacted team members will receive an email notification within the next hour, including information about next steps. For non-US locations, you will receive additional details about next steps from leadership and HR.

To our departing colleagues: thank you. Your hard work has helped shape Snap, and we are deeply grateful for your contributions. For U.S.-based team members who are leaving, we will provide four months of severance, healthcare coverage, and equity vesting, along with career transition support. Outside the U.S., we will follow local processes and seek to provide comparable support aligned with local norms.

To everyone continuing on this journey: change of this magnitude and at this speed is never easy and it will not be seamless. Thank you for your resilience, compassion, and commitment to one another, and to the community and partners we serve. Our responsibility is to move forward with clarity, empathy, and determination as we build a faster, stronger, and more durable Snap for the long term.

It would have saved quite a few jobs, I believe, for those who wanted to stay. I know for a fact I'm far from the only one who'd be happy to take severance and run. It's a win/win, so I really can't understand why it's never an option. I know plenty of other companies that offer VOB.

The bodies are there but the people aren't. Hundreds have already left in their heads. We do the minimum, watch the clock, and wait for the day we can physically leave too. Schwab did this to itself.

They finalized my layoff on my birthday. Some gift. That tells you exactly how much they value people.

Can confirm that company is actively monitoring office attendance and employees who are not complying with what is now policy will be terminated. Also, outside of sales-coded roles, there will be NO hiring for virtual employees. Waterloo is the primary favored location due, in part, to a lower salary range for Canada and the fact no health care contribution is required. In short, Canadian employees cost less.

Company IS eliminating 15-20 percent of the current workforce through WFRs, carve outs, performance and violation of policy.

Watch your back. Managers and leaders also work from company sites as they are also required to adhere to office policy outside of sales and yes, they will report you if they see coffee badging.

Bumping this from @jq+1kpeh2t5w for info.

They've been offshoring us into oblivion already.

1. They’ve been delayed to add more names to the list.
2. But they’re ready to go now. Week of 4/27.
3. Leaders have been asked to provide team productivity data.
4. I heard 10% and 20%. Worst number was 40% (of PHK Tech, not Global), probably over several waves.

Which companies are laying off the week of April 20?

I’m at the skunkworks, and since the Doug news broke, the mood has shifted pretty noticeably. A lot of us feel like the clock is ticking. Once Farley’s out, we lose our last real advocate for keeping this operation in California, Alan Clarke aside, but Dearborn’s not going to fight for us. I’m expecting a mass exodus, and the wild part is they haven’t even finished the Long Beach construction. We all know what Blue Oval City represents, so nothing feels off the table right now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When I first started working in tech many years ago, layoffs were something to be avoided at all costs due to worker impacts. Companies did everything possible to avoid them. I quickly learned the difference between layoffs and reduction in force. It seemed layoffs were temporary and you went back to the same job RIFs meant your job was gone mostly to changes in business versus offshoring. No leaders took joy or reward with either event. Of course, times are different now, but taking pride in how many consecutive quarters you can purge people is still wrong. I hope Charlie get karma for the manner in which he is conducting his CEO actions. God Bless Wells Fargro American workers.

That's my manager. Everything is burning around us, we have so many issues, don't even get me started on layoffs-related morale drop, and all he does is ignore everything and drinks his coffee. And these are the people that are considered leadership at this place?
