#redundancy

Marketing teams working under their respective geos will be absorbed into WW E-Commerce on January 1st. Many are concerned with redundancy and eventual reduction in workforce. Not much else has been provided aside from this being a global change but layoffs seem probable by end of fiscal year.

Just got a meeting request for changes to the organisation that may affect my employment.

Fu-k.

RTO with clients that have signed $80m this year and convinced to go to vcf9.

Disappointed

The usual post Christmas cuts have happened in UK with everyone going on 28th November.

Yet again there's no handover or plan for the work of those going.

Usual dead weight avoid the axe

Yet another display of MENSA level menials going on right now due to some stupid Lingen hand dropping a large TAR related distribution list into a random reply in German.

Now we’ve got droves of drooling keyboard riders doing the “pLEaSe rEMoVe mE!” smooth brain shuffle. Forget phishing, can we get a “Report” button that auto-redundancies anyone that’s replying all to any distro list >100 users.

USPB is no more. Decisions will be made over next 6 weeks how to align the former USPB functions (Analytics, Risk, COO, and Client Experience) into Cards and Wealth. There will undoubtedly be layoffs in 1Q26 for these groups impacted. I’m sure redundancies will also occur in Cards and Wealth for the incoming people as well.

I heard from our AVP and SVP today that all of our department’s roles in El Segundo are being made redundant and backfilled to Dallas. So it’s either pack up your bags and join the herd in Downtown Dallas or leave.

Exactly how bad is it down there in Dallas. I hear the commute, parking, and desks are an issue. How does a Fortune 50 company have such major real estate problems?

Folks with 10+ years tenure…who can say they’re enjoying themselves right now? How many are merely holding on in the hope of redundancy? Anyone contemplating a future beyond the IT industry?

Am I alone?

The gist I took away was we’re centralizing more engineering in the US, using tech centers more and only staffing manufacturing sites with under potential 30 types. I’d expect when the current batch of lower potential 26-29’s get told they’re stuck, the “redundancy” problem takes care of itself.

Saw a very talented guy being laid off for cost-cutting and redundancy.

Funny part, Many of his ideas improved TU's core products and saved a ton of money for the company. I as one of his previous manager was more devastated than he was. He was moved from my project to Onetru forcibly for his talent, now laid off because of onetru/onedev's management failure.

Neustar management is firing loyal, talented full time employees in favor of contract for hires which I bet they have an under the desk deal to line their pockets.

Decades of experience tossed aside. They could have been redeployed but Waters has decided that when a product is no longer wanted by the business then neither are the people involved.

Limited support will transfer to Brasov who will only be making sure UNIFI can continue to function in waters_connect, even though the backbone of waters_connect is UNIFI.

A bunch of dev teams are getting hit hard, some seeing up to 50% redundancies. AI tools are apparently going to pick up the slack

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone’s heard anything about potential redundancies or layoffs at PayPal in the new year? There’s been a bit of chatter lately, but nothing concrete, so I’m curious if anyone’s picked up on any rumours or has a general sense of what might be coming down the line.

I'd love to know how the heck we get any leaner out here in the CO's. Can't get the most basic stuff needed for years, and covering an unrealistically large geographical area ALONE when on OT. My suggestion is to start the "leaner" process with the redundancies up at the top, Dan!

So 14000 is only 4% of corporate. 27000 was in fact the largest in history.
And there are so many redundant layers of management still.

Look back at the layoffs from 2015. The excuses are the same. Too many layers, too much inefficiency, too much redundancy, too slow with technology, costs out of control, and a business model in perpetual catch-up mode.

The only thing certain about this company is its ability to keep spinning and spinning without actually solving anything. This was a broken company then, and it’s broken now.

Is anyone hearing insights on “flattening” the redundant CTB CTV and GSP roles in particular WH (western hemisphere). Seems like other areas are flattening and going back to pre-merch like transformations. Others have said that Bills pyramid will not be touched but that doesn’t seem plausible

Renault is set to propose voluntary redundancies for around 3,000 employees in support functions, in a move to streamline operations, as reported by Reuters, citing L'Informe, a French newsletter.

In collaboration with its alliance partners Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors, Renault Group recently announced that it is entering a new phase focused on the development of electric vehicles and the pursuit of industrial synergies within Europe.

P24 seems like a golden age now that Project Mongoose is in effect. Instead of (for most countries) voluntary redundancy, your name and role are on a list. Works council stated this will be an annual thing. So much for the feeling of community at SAP. Also when did the T4 level become poison? Speaking informally with HR T4 positions are not really sought after. T1, T2 highly sought. It's brutal out here now.

We must reduce the corporate surplus population!!

What are the odds JW and DL were visited by the ghosts of Imperial Past, Present and Future this weekend?

Has anyone else had a business update today?

It's been very carefully worded not as redundancies in the update however colleagues in Germany reporting redundancies to the CI department

Employees were told the layoffs were about redundancy and not being strategic enough. Sure, some low performers were cut. Plenty of solid, capable people were let go in HR, Marketing, and Sales all over the world. Meanwhile, the company SPENT A LOT on acquisitions and EXECUTIVE LEADERS WHO HAVEN'T DELIVERED. The people who actually kept things running were the ones who got cut. This isn't strategy, it's protecting LEADERSHIP and their image.

ANZA has deleted many working staff via redundancy due to the excuse that there is no work forecast.

Will any of the leadership team or line managers be removed ?
If there is no work, why are account managers and sales executives needed ?

Should ANZA stop sending executives to junkets such as Mobile World Congress and Telecommunications Industry Excellence Awards ?

The layoffs will take place in phases over the next eight months, though most of the positions will be eliminated by mid-November.

Avoiding Redundancy Costs: By using temporary workers who are not permanent employees of the company, the business doesn't incur the same obligations for redundancy payments and other entitlements as it would for permanent staff.

Not sure what’s happening in Ireland, a lot of people are going and have left. Not sure if there getting redundant package. I think most are leaving because of attrition. Any know what’s happening here

Just announced and Sept 15 is the impacted area notification date

Looks like they over hired during covid now tossing people out so the option to move to another area or take voluntary severance

Reduction IS coming for external associates

I got summed to my managers office yesterday, no warning nothing , HR walks in sits down and here we go again., 3 months notice from today after 8 years of service, the worst package that they could possibly offer , total joke of a company, Potentially 15% going next 6 months they said with more next year. Get out while you can.
