Fitch Ratings upgraded Avaya's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and its first-lien term loan to 'B+' (RR2) in November 2025, driven by a stable outlook, successful post-bankruptcy financial restructuring, improved profitability, and a reduced debt burden

In a move that underscores the continued volatility of the American retail pharmacy landscape, the newly private Walgreens Boots Alliance has announced a significant expansion of its workforce reductions and a finalized timeline for its massive store closure initiative. Under the leadership of the private equity firm Sycamore Partners, which completed a landmark $10 billion acquisition of the company in August 2025, Walgreens is slashing hundreds of additional corporate roles and shuttering a major distribution hub as it battles the systemic pressures that have already claimed several of its former peers.

I work in optum insight. I was moved to new team due to a restructure last year.
3 other people on the team have a job title that is 1 above, so they are eligible for bonus and I am not, along with 2 others.
This means we all work very similar roles, with now more pressure due to layoffs, and I get a 1.5% raise and no RRP due to my level, while they get 5k or more bonuses plus possible merit and a bigger base salary.

Why would I ever work hard when 3 other people are getting bonuses while me and others are not? For almost identical work. It would be different if they did a different job, but with the restructuring, our jobs are basically the same now with the same goals and metrics.
I am at the point of being extremely bitter.
Someone make this make sense at all.

2 DCO position's eliminated. Constant reduction and restructuring. Have has several immediate teammates eliminated as well.

Word on the streets is that they’re going to be “restructuring” my department. Anybody on here have that happen to them? Just trying to prepare myself for anything.

Qualcomm needs a comprehensive organizational restructuring to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry. The company should streamline its structure, reduce layers of management, and build a leaner, faster decision-making organization. This may require a workforce reduction of around 30%, particularly focusing on eliminating unproductive senior and staff engineers who are sitting there for years, and aligning and recruiting new graduate talents with future growth areas.

The leadership team must be refreshed with a forward-looking CEO who deeply understands the future of semiconductors including AI acceleration, edge computing, advanced node design, chiplet architectures, automotive platforms, and custom silicon. The new strategy should prioritize innovation speed, stronger execution discipline, and accountability at all levels.

Key additional priorities should include:
Reducing bureaucratic overhead and simplifying reporting structures
Investing aggressively in AI-driven chip design and next-generation architectures
Strengthening partnerships in automotive, IoT, and data center markets
Improving cost discipline and capital allocation efficiency
Retaining and rewarding high-performing engineers while upskilling talent in critical future technologies
Encouraging an ownership-driven, performance-based culture

A leaner, technology-focused, and execution-oriented Qualcomm can regain stronger market leadership and shareholder confidence.

Hey, its me. The person with almost a decade of experience at your company that you laid off Thursday. Its okay, though. I knew. I knew before you knew because I know this company better than you. I've been on the ground floor while you've been on the golf course.

The company has changed. Have you even been around long enough to witness it? Im not talking about the missing "snack budget" or lack of team outings. I thought it was bad when talented people were leaving years ago. In the last year its gotten much worse than that.

Pay closer attention! Are you listening? Do you hear the tension in the meetings? The crackling of constant fires consuming your teams? Endless "Priority" and "No budget for that" rings in your ear like tinnitis.

There is a collective amnesia worsening as the brain drain sets in. Teams start to make the same mistakes that have been made before because there is nobody around who was there the last time it was tried or failed. So they have the same conversations, but this time nobody is left who is brave enough to speak the "quiet part" out loud for fear of "being next". The wrong choice is made this time.

But you're managing how many teams now? Did you even notice? Did you see how the work is rubber stamped before being sent to production? The person who actually took the time to thanklessly review it is gone. They won't be patiently fixing or correcting the HIH hire's issues either.

But thats okay because of AI, right? That'll make up for the skill shortage? And the severe understaffing? A trillion dollars has been invested in it! All the world's digital data fed into it! Its "the future" and "inevitable" or so they say. Uh oh, you ignored that silly SME (subject matter expert) who could actually tell the AI was hallucinating? Don't worry, that SME is gone now! You no longer have to hear about how they had to scrap the AI's work because it was "worse than a junior intern" or "if a human had broken the project this bad they would be fired". You can't even fire the AI because YOUR manager would fire you!

I could go on, but let's be honest: they dont pay you to read, think, or care. Your job is to get the CEO rich by helping pump that stock by any reckless means possible. Too bad its failing. Even with stock buybacks, outsourcing, layoffs, etc. Im sure you're safe, Mr. "Top Dog". What's that? An org restructuring is happening? ...HR would like you to read this prompt to yourself. Thank you for your service to the company.

Due to restructuring in Ortho, aka giving all the jobs over seas to Costa Rica, all the TX design team, clinical advisors, DC and FMQC, US based employees, are being laid off effective in March. Hard to say official numbers but it's upwards of 40 people. Many were here since clarity alligners started nearly 10 years ago. Pretty sc-mmy way to save a few bucks the day after they announced 1 Billion dollars for stock buy back.

Dear Blackbaud,

We are writing as a collective group of Blackbaud employees in response to Mike Gianoni‘s message regarding the next phase of the Workforce Strategy.

While the message states that the workforce will not shrink overall, it clearly acknowledges that valued colleagues will be made redundant over the next 24 months. For those directly affected, and for those remaining, this distinction offers limited reassurance. A strategy framed around growth does not lessen the reality of job losses, role displacement, or the anxiety created by prolonged uncertainty.

The expansion of roles in India and the use of AI as a driver of saving costs is simply unacceptable.

If this strategy is truly about shifting capabilities rather than shrinking Blackbaud, then we believe the following commitments are essential:
1.A clear retraining and reskilling guarantee for impacted employees before redundancies are considered
2.Transparent criteria for role evaluation and location decisions

1. We demand a fair and equitable severance package for all impacted employees that reflects their service, contribution, and the disruption caused by these decisions.
   4.We demand that employees with outstanding vesting shares retain their full equity entitlements, with no forfeiture as a result of redundancy.

Given the erosion of trust and the uncertainty created by these decisions, we respectfully ask Mike Gianoni to consider resigning to allow for leadership better aligned with the values and stability employees expect. We are asking leadership to work with employees, not simply inform them.

We remain committed to Blackbaud and to our customers. We are equally committed to protecting our colleagues and ensuring that this transition is handled with integrity, transparency, and fairness.

Should leadership fail to engage transparently and address these concerns, we will begin organizing collectively and will consider industrial action

We look forward to meaningful dialogue.

Shares of Gemini dropped over 14%. Three senior executives are departing the company. This includes the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. These changes are part of a broader restructuring effort. The company also reduced its global workforce by 25% and scaled back foreign operations.

Sabre’s operational trajectory reveals a profound leadership failure to translate a $323 million five-year investment in software development into genuine innovation, as these funds have served primarily as defensive "keep-the-lights-on" expenditure rather than a catalyst for non-linear revenue or structural cost efficiency. This stagnation is starkly evidenced by an efficiency paradox where the company shed 38% of its workforce—collapsing from approximately 7,500 employees in 2022 to 4,650 in 2025—while simultaneously handling 21% higher booking volumes, exposing a staggering level of historical dead weight and persistent resource mismanagement. The reality is that Sabre’s "transformation" is fueled not by software-driven productivity, but by an aggressive cycle of layoffs; nearly 100% of the $70 million in technology expense reductions in 2025 came from labor and professional service cuts, while cloud migration contributed a mere $18 million in hosting savings. With leadership planning to sink another $65 million into restructuring and further layoffs for 2026, it is clear the primary strategy remains shrinking for survival, confirming that half a decade of massive capital outlays has yielded no meaningful innovation-driven value or digital scale for the enterprise.

Roche is currently undergoing a significant global restructuring of its Roche Digital Technology (RDT) organization (former Roche global IT). Under the leadership of Wafaa Mamili, the company is centralizing operations through a new technology hub in Hyderabad, India. While total headcount is projected to grow globally, this strategy involves substantial workforce reductions at key sites, including Basel, Mississauga, South San Francisco, Mannheim, Costa Rica and more.
These transitions, which also include the departure of high-level and high-performing specialists and long-term contributors, are expected to continue throughout 2026 in accordance with local labor regulations and social plans. It may no longer be a "great place to work" especially for IT specialists.

“Lenovo is restructuring its Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) to sharpen its focus on AI server, storage, and edge computing, driven by a $285 million charge in Q3 FY25/26. This initiative aims to improve profitability, accelerate AI growth, and reduce annual costs by over $200 million within three years”…$200 mil in cost reduction over three years means a whole lot of us are going bye-bye.

With decisions centralising and more governance and finance leadership coming in, what outcomes have people seen in similar situations — tighter oversight only, portfolio moves, or does this usually end in restructuring and layoffs?

Kuehne+Nagel Inc. is implementing significant restructuring, including closing its Locust Grove, Georgia facility around March 31, 2026, which impacts 153 employees. This is part of a global cost-cutting program aimed at reducing 1,000 to 1,500 roles (announced late 2025) to combat weak freight demand, overcapacity, and margin pressure.

I’m just going to say it.

There’s talk about job changes and possible layoffs on the 19th, and the sudden shift in communication lately doesn’t feel normal. When leadership starts moving differently, there’s always a reason.

So I’ll ask what others may be thinking but aren’t saying — what do you know?

Have you seen the signs before? The random one-on-ones, increased leadership visibility, vague messaging, restructuring language, or sudden urgency?

For those who have been laid off before, what were the red flags you ignored — or only understood after the fact?

Let’s be honest. Companies rarely warn you. They reposition, they stay quiet, and then they act.

This isn’t about spreading rumors. It’s about recognizing patterns and being prepared instead of blindsided.

If you know something, saw something, or experienced this before, say it. Silence only protects the company, not the people.

Something is happening. No clue what. But all associates were instructed to work from home tomorrow.
"We will discuss important organizational updates and critical information about our organization."

Harley-Davidson experienced a challenging year with declining performance. Its revenue fell by 26%, and global sales also continued their downward slide. CEO Artie Starrs announced plans to reduce costs significantly. These efforts may include workforce reductions as part of broader restructuring. Union workers in Milwaukee are aware of potential job losses for both production and salaried staff.

Centene is navigating significant financial pressures heading into 2026, including a massive $6.6 billion loss in 2025 and projected 20% increases in 2026 ACA premium costs, which have driven ongoing restructuring and, for 2026, an environment of continued instability and potential, ongoing, or expected job reductions rather than a single, massive 2026 announcement.

Continued Instability: Following 2023's 2,000-job reduction, employees have reported ongoing, major layoffs and restructuring as of early 2026.

Financial Pressures: Centene reported a $1.1 billion loss for the fourth quarter of 2025, with a $6.6 billion loss for the full year 2025.

Market Challenges: The company is managing lower-than-expected enrollment in ACA plans, significant hits to Medicare Advantage revenue, and rising Medicaid costs.

Expected Trends: Analysts and reports suggest potential further cuts as the company attempts to stabilize after facing immense pressures on Medicaid and marketplace plans.

Although a specific "2026 headline" of X,X-X jobs has not been announced as of early 2026, the company is actively undergoing restructuring to manage significant losses, according to reports in early 2026.

Seres Therapeutics announced a significant workforce reduction. The company plans to cut its headcount by 30%. It will also stop investing in its SER-155 phase 2 study. Operational focus will shift to high-value earlier-stage programs. This follows a 25% workforce reduction just months prior.

First of all, the on boarding process was absolutely horrendous, and I've had 3 different positions within the company, all of which my training was absolutely non existent. Every single day at work you have absolutely no idea what your doing, and cant ask for help because no one else knows what they are doing. The constant lay offs and restructuring have ruined this company, we lost all our talent and only wonder when our day comes of getting the boot as well.

The stock is down 34% in a year and 65% over five years. Meanwhile, inside the company, we’ve lived through constant restructures: minimal pay rises, responsibility changes, de-levelling, demotions, removal of ratings, mass exits, elimination of People Partners and leader support systems — all under the banner of “transformation.”

Experienced talent keeps leaving. The people who knew how things worked are gone. Morale has taken hit after hit.

At the same time, the company has spent multi-millions over the past three years on external consultants to define strategy and redesign the operating model. As employees, it’s fair to ask: what has that delivered? Because from where we sit, strategy keeps shifting, products are launched with big promises and then fade away, and priorities change before anything has time to succeed.

Now we have a portfolio/solution structure that many are still trying to understand and explain consistently. That lack of clarity shows up with clients.

It feels like the people in the middle — managers, delivery leaders, client teams — are absorbing the impact of decisions made far above them.

This isn’t bitterness. Many of us care deeply about this company and want it to succeed.

But at some point, accountability has to apply at the top too - something should be done - the CEO, CPO, CFO, CCO all need a change in career.

Converse employees were told to work from home this week. Layoffs and restructuring are expected at the brand. Converse CEO Aaron Cain sent a note to employees about the changes. The Boston-based brand reported a 30% drop in quarterly sales. These actions are part of Nike CEO Elliott Hill's turnaround plan.

He made it known when discussing RTO that there is still a 150 million restructuring charge to "right size" the company

Wonder what the reason for that comment was

On February 9, 2026, Forrester Research announced a workforce reduction of about 8% across geographies and functions, following notifications that began on December 15, 2025 and are slated to conclude by July 31, 2026. The company expects pre-tax expenses of roughly $10 million to $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first three quarters of 2026, primarily for cash severance and employee benefit costs tied to these layoffs.

So now that AP has had all of its powers stripped and the new boss has laid off all of oversight, restructured technology to lay off people, and cut all of the district taskforce teams to replace only some of them with 1 investigator, how do we all think this is going to pan out?

I doubt his desperate attempt to offset the future losses (from his policies) by cost cutting everywhere else will not work. I expect store AP teams to start being cut by end of FY26 to cover for increased theft.

Also, what a great idea to cut technology! Not like 80-90% of the stores are running equipment from the late 90s that barely works or doesn’t work at all. This company loves to talk big about investing in our stores when they haven’t provided a comprehensive investment to safety & security in the last 30 years.

Like the saying goes it is better to be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.

This is my hope. After the storm passes and we sell Fiber and Small Cell we have the money to hire many of these talented, loyal, and hard workers back. It was obvious the layoffs weren't well thought out. It was just a scramble to meet the numbers.

Maybe I am naive in thinking that is possible, but hopefully Crown wins and pull this off. Hate to see this company destroyed by all the bad decisions they made. I remember the glory years when it was just a tower company. The get togethers at the finest resorts, and it really felt like family.

Anyone hearing we are getting new CEO? Nick from Frontier? He did major restructuring at frontier. So if news so true buckle up guys.

A longtime Petaluma maker of tools for manufacturing electronics and devices for medical and dental treatments plans to cut 30 jobs this spring as its Swiss parent company restructures globally.

Buried in the PowerPoint today, 1.3B for restructuring charges including layoffs. Coming soon to Europe and Detroit!

Anyone know the details of this decision? That’s a long term relationship coming to an end. Is there more state plans to come?

It’s going to be a massive restructuring followed by years of downsizing as more and more customers move to inexpensive and better quality AI tools. They are trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the sales force in Q1 and Q2 before they have a big layoff.

50% sure they will announce chapter 7 restructure.

In January 2026, U.S. employers announced 108,435 job cuts, the highest total for the first month of the year since 2009. This surge represents a 118% increase compared to January 2025 and a 205% jump from December 2025.
Primary Drivers: Massive restructuring at UPS (30,000 cuts) and Amazon (16,000 corporate roles) accounted for nearly half of the month's total layoffs.
Sector Impact: The hardest-hit industries included Transportation (31,243), Technology (22,291), and Healthcare (17,107).
Hiring Stagnation: Parallel to the cuts, hiring plans dropped to just 5,306, the lowest January figure on record since tracking began in 2009.
Leading Causes: According to the Challenger Report, the top reasons cited were contract losses, economic conditions, and organizational restructuring. - All companies are on the same path.
