After record year, ASML is to cut 1,700 jobs, mainly in NL

January 28, 2026

Chip machinery maker ASML is planning to cut its workforce by 1,700 jobs in the coming period, despite having its best-ever year in 2025.

The jobs, the company said in an email to staff ahead of the presentation of its 2025 earnings, will mostly go in the Netherlands and involve “streamlining” its technology and IT divisions to improve the focus on innovation and engineering.

The reorganisation, the company said, is necessary to ensure further growth by bringing back “the fast-moving culture which made us so successful”. ASML has a global workforce of 43,520.

The company booked net profit of €9.6 billion in 2025, on turnover of €31.7 billion. ASML expects further sales growth to between €34 billion and €39 billion this year.

Orders totalled €13 billion in the last three months of the year, almost double the same period in 2024. ASML also announced a new share buyback programme of up to €12 billion, to be executed by 31 December 2028.

ASML is one of Europe’s biggest companies and a major player in the Dutch economy.

Based in Veldhoven near Eindhoven, the company has been at the forefront of efforts to persuade the Dutch government not to discourage highly skilled workers from moving to the Netherlands from abroad and plans to develop a second campus in the region in the coming years.

Rumour has it some of the old guard are coming back and rebranding into a new processing shop - hands up who would abandon their ship to join ( my hands are up!)

Been here for long enough to know that Jane is a zero with shoes. She's ineffective but somehow or another got the Chairmanship last year. I guess you can say it's the age old concept of "F up, Move up?" Meanwhile 15,000 people are gonna lose their jobs this year all while the mo--n in charge counts her $25 million payday.

Constant reorganization is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. The bank is garbage. The culture is even worse. The OCC should just put the damn thing into receivership.

SC re-org starts today. Post what you know below!

Any murmurs of COP reorganization and possible divestment of North Slope assets?

There were some off sites last week and it's been confirmed a Reorg is coming

Anyone know when ? And if so will there be layoffs or just people moving around

Both Microsoft and Oracle are increasing their stock price massively to increase their market capitalization. They are also laying off employees to be less cash poor.

On the other hand, SAP is performing several steps to prepare for an acquisition. there have been share buybacks to negotiate a better deal. There are regular layoffs planned to stabilize the share price to negotiate for a better deal. HPOM and other reorganizations are bringing SAP closer to how Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce operate. SAP is also cutting down salary hikes and benefits to match those at Microsoft and Oracle. The new performance management system is a vehicle for moving away from role-based compensation and adopt region-based compensation. This is in line with what Microsoft and Oracle does as they determine compensation based on zip code. The newer acquisitions by SAP are also inline with the offerings from Microsoft and Oracle. In fact, SAP is bridging the gap so existing SAP products and products from these acquisitions can be easily rebranded. SAP is also steering away from European worker protections and want a more Silicon Valley like approach where employees live in fear and the executive board makes millions to create more disparity and give them more power.

Do you think that all these actions are taking place to bring SAP into an acquisition mode for Microsoft or Oracle? What do you think the impact would be on SAP layoffs?

I can’t say much but be prepared

Converse people - does anyone know the week we should be expecting reorg and layoffs and to work from home? Getting tired of waiting around.

It looks like we have lost our full year's vacation if xerox sells or breaks up the company. We are not garenteed anything past the day there is a reorganization.

Is this how it is or can someone clarify?

I was impacted by the recent layoff after nearly seven years as a cloud security engineer. During that time, I worked hands-on across architecture, automation, and platform security, often supporting end-to-end execution.

One reflection I’m sitting with is how, during reorganizations, decision-making can shift toward newer leadership roles that may not always have deep technical context — even when long-tenured engineers have been heavily involved in keeping systems running and helping teams ramp up.

Curious how others have seen this play out:
• How do experienced technical ICs stay effective as orgs change?
• In security teams, how much does deep technical ownership still factor into decisions today?

Appreciate any perspectives.

New Geo's coming soon

What will happen with CS? As APLA will sure to cease.

Sooner or later it’s happening.

TIAA does this: Quiet cutting is an employer strategy to reduce headcount indirectly by reassigning employees to less desirable, lower-paying, or less critical roles, hoping they quit voluntarily rather than facing direct layoffs, often disguised as "reorganization" or "redeployment" amidst economic uncertainty. It's a response to rising labor costs, creating an alternative to traditional firing. A--holes.

First week of February announcement of RVP and DPR position being eliminated. New role “Senior Operations Manager” to replace RVP/DPR. DM role will have average of 25 stores that reports to new SOM.
Front end and Pharmacy will be separated for DM and HCS.

Good luck to SM that will have two bosses!

Strong rumors about massive reorganization in SBG. Several executives were axed. Consolidation of several BUs. More products will be integrated under Splunk.

Heard some folks will be RIFed on Jan 31st or before. A lot of org changes going on. Any updates?

I've be at NM for a decade, working in tech. Idk if it's just me, but I feel like the recent reorg emails and town halls have been more fluff-filled than I've ever experienced at NM. I've been genuinely shocked at how many words are said and written without actually conveying anything of meaning, or adding any clarity. I don't remember it being this bad. Is this a testament to the age of ChatGPT where we're now seeing our leaders convey purely AI-generated fluff? Or is this just a testament to new SLT members not being as personable as previous years? I know I'm not the only one feeling a bit unsettled by recent SLT communication, but I don't know how widespread that feeling is.

We all know that the timeline to make a room OPO employees at Deerfield. Based on that what could possible time line look like for re-org and may be layoffs.

Here is what I think it may look like:

Identify who they will still stay with the company by the end of this week.

Identify which teams they will belong to by end of next week.

Identify where the teams will sit and communicate with affected employees by the end of the month.

Here is what the structure could look like:

C-Level (CEO, CFO, COO, CIO etc)

• Eight Directors reporting to each
  • Eight Managers
    • Eight Team members ( Leads if managing large offshore team)
      • Eight Off Shore Resources

All would be aligned to achieve same goals every 15 days to a month.

There might be product management team who will continuously be managing prioritized backlog. Their whole deliverable every two weeks is to add new approved items to the backlog.

Indirect sourcing job posts slowing being posted but no information about the new org chart available publicly. Any insights on this?

This week the long awaited Geo restructure will take place;
AMER (North and Latin)
APAC (except GC)
Greater China
EMEA

CS will transition to their new CEO role mid-year (by FY 27' - 1 June)

Expecting all legacy products to be wiped out and most middle managers to be let go. Director counts will be reduced.

Hearing the next big move is in April, and it’s big news. I’m sure a someone knows more than I, please share.

So now the rumors are that any layoffs will be in February, once the impact of OPO closing and related resignations can be seen. Likely reorgs across the board. With so many resignations, will there even be layoffs? Thoughts?

Hello, 2026 please don’t be worse.

On a call with leaders and managers. 25,000 layoffs last year, expect another re-org (or as it was said in the meeting; 'reshuffle') at the earliest mid-February.

Employee confidence in Cisco, it's direction and future are at an all time low according to leadership. The only positive is RTO reigniting local hire after years of stagnation.

I have a feeling it's going to be a most excellent year!

What's the chance of another re org after Wheatstone TAR?

SAP has money for share buybacks but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits. SAP has money to increase executive board bonuses but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits. SAP has money to invest in AI products that have no future but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits.

In addition, Joule and other AI slop added to flagship products do not have a good adoption rate. Customers are not willing to pay a premium price for AI features that are unnecessary or downright bad and only increase costs. So they will look at alternatives for one or more products within the SAP ecosystem.

And every single discussion regarding these exact points is derailed by unsavory comments. I sincerely believe that SAP does not need any layoffs but they are doing so simply to instill fear and use this as a bargaining chip to pay less money to employees while the executive board maximize their bonuses. Every good comment here is followed by some bad ones that force the topic to be derailed.

And the only way to fix this is to highlight the real reasons why Dominic Asam, Christian Klein and others want layoffs.

We need to stop the infighting. Because the only people benefiting from this are the executive board and highly paid area heads and VPs and managers who don't add value but have very high salaries. And the losers are ALL SAP EMPLOYEES if we keep fighting between ourselves.

On that note, can someone please share more details about the reorganizations in 2026 Q1? And if there are any more details about any potential 2026 layoffs.

Many pieces moving in the business channel, but what do you think the next steps will be?

What org changes to expect in TIS?

With BS out, another org shake-up to cut spans and layers is unavoidable. A wave of senior exits is being politely labeled retirement, but it’s really a reset.

And while leadership churns, IDC’s forecast is inflating expectations.. numbers will spike whether execution is ready or not.

Less patience. Less cover. Bigger pressure.
The next phase won’t reward tenure.. it will expose performance.

I have yet to experience a reorg or set of cuts that actually resulted in leaner, more efficient teams. The bloat always seems to stay, critical roles disappear as a rule, and the workload ends up being distributed in ways that make even less sense. If they are planning a major reorg now, I dread what things will look like on the other side of it.

Wondering how many folks are seeking mental health services for the last 2 years of rolling massive layoffs to now end with performance management to reach the final HC. At least with Pat, there was compassion and empathy with the reorganizations.

I know it can be a stressful time with all the changes happening with Medicare and Medicaid at the end of the month. I've been hearing some concerns about potential reorganizations, and I understand how unsettling that can be. If anyone has any insights on which areas might be affected and when, it would be really helpful to share that information. We're all in this together, and any guidance would be appreciated.

I keep hearing mentions and whispers of reorgs. Anyone have insight to that? What areas are involved and when?

Looking into 2026, there is alot of chatter around yet another sales reorganization, one that is more aggressive and drastic than any we have seen in prior years. Look back at the investments that have been made in both New Brunswick inside sales in addition to the Texas based inside sales offices - neither are by accident.
I've heard a few different "values", but what's consistent is the message that more customer relationships will be moving to both the Canada and Texas inside teams, with only customers billing in excess of $75,000 annually ($6,000 monthly) staying in the field.
I don't have specific insight into what this means regarding manpower , but common sense would quickly say that there is a large reduction coming into the sales organization - reps, managers, and specialists.

Is anyone else hearing anything more on this topic?

I was among the lucky few who actually had a great team. A few a--holes here and there, but otherwise solid, reliable colleagues. Somehow, we managed to overcome management’s shortcomings, make our tasks easier, and even have fun, or at least feel a sense of accomplishment. Yes, it was a cosmic accident, but it happened. I actually liked my work because of it.

Then the reorg came and destroyed the team. A few exceptionally competent and experienced teammates were let go, some were reassigned, and now my team is hollow and definitely less efficient and productive. The inability to recognize an excellent team says everything you need to know about leadership and management. I can only imagine the end result of reorg.

If the rumors are true, not only will there be a major reorg with entire teams vanishing, but massive layoffs across the board too. Oh well, it’s not like I ever thought my job here was secure, and I don’t like it enough to be upset about losing it anyway.
