George Washington University's Law School has implemented layoffs as part of a restructuring effort. This decision stems from ongoing financial challenges faced by the institution. The law school's dean cited new legislation, shifts in funding and financial aid, and demographic changes as contributing factors. These layoffs follow similar reductions at two other schools within the university this fiscal year. The university has announced broader budget cuts to address its financial position.

HOUSTON - Sept. 13 - The DISH Wireless Debtors issued a Sunday evening statement filing that their restructuring could collapse into liquidation if creditors do not support the amended Wireless plan, even as a newly announced two‑week litigation pause drew immediate scrutiny due to creditor pushback. Sections 7 of the Debtors’ Statement acknowledge that failure to reach consensus may result in consideration of other alternatives including conversion to chapter 7.

The filing framed the requested pause in litigation as collaborative, but it contradicts the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee’s earlier filing accusing the Debtors of previously imposing a “one‑way pause of discovery” and refusing to produce key Rule 2004 documents.

The contradiction is expected to be a focal point at Monday’s status conference, ahead of a critical requested September 23 answer on governance failures and conflict‑of‑interest allegations involving White & Case.

Things are getting pretty bad on the Medicare side of the business. Anyone paying attention should probably get ready for some major restructuring.

HOUSTON, Sept. 13 - The DISH Wireless Debtors dropped a sweeping amended plan on Saturday, carving their case away from the DBS Debtors and adding new governance controls as they brace for a high‑stakes courtroom clash over counsel conflicts.

The Saturday filing is a full redline of the Amended DISH Wireless Plan and Disclosure Statement. The new filing by White & Case, the lead counsel for the debtors, formally bifurcates the estates and hands insider‑related litigation authority to a newly created Special Governance Committee, a move aimed at defusing objections from the U.S. Trustee and unsecured creditors.

The revisions tighten FCC Trust rules, introduce new claim‑treatment exhibits, and clarify that DWLLC’s intercompany loan claim cannot tap FCC Trust recoveries. The changes however stop short of addressing the U.S. Trustee’s central allegation: that White & Case helped structure the disputed intercompany loan and failed to disclose its role.

The timing of a Saturday drop also follows a wave of Friday Ordinary Course Professional Declaration (OCP) declarations and is expected to draw scrutiny at Monday’s hearing. Creditors may challenge the last‑minute filings show the Debtors scrambling to contain governance fallout and avoid removal of restructuring counsel.

Judge Christopher Lopez will need to decide whether parties need more time to review the redlines or proceed directly to argument. A separate Sept. 23 hearing will determine whether DWLLC can remain a debtor‑in‑possession or whether a trustee is needed to take control of the Wireless estate.

The amended plan marks the most aggressive restructuring shift since the merits‑track split, but it remains unclear whether the changes will satisfy the US Trustee's concerns regarding lead council and the creditor's pressing for independent oversight.

There are so many woman taking LOA as of September 30. What a luxury to take a year off amid massive restructuring! Right now in the Finance everybody knows there are huge cuts coming. Everybody knows after Polaris is implemented there is no need for that staff. And everybody knows if you are late 40s early 50s your risk to get PIPd is high. And I’ve heard from several people now in the after Polaris they will begin offering packages to those close to retirement.

If you can afford a year or two without salary because you saved or have an executive husband, you save being PIPd, still get years of vesting, health insurance, and leave with a package.

The Ontario Science Centre has eliminated 30 positions, including its entire science department, in a significant restructuring. These layoffs represent an 18% reduction in the unionized workforce and erase over 540 combined years of service. The organization stated that science expertise will be integrated across remaining departments rather than isolated. This move comes as the centre operates from interim locations while awaiting a new facility at Ontario Place. Critics question the future of a science centre without dedicated science staff.

Etsy announced significant workforce reductions, impacting approximately 12% of its employees, primarily in product and engineering roles.

The stock experienced a decline in after-hours trading following the announcement.

It seems every quarter Medtronic is going through another massive restructure. How are we supposed to keep up when entire teams are being made redundant or individuals just get fed up and quit?

The last quarter has been awful. I'm doing the work of four people. I'm stressed and stretched thin. My own manager up and left without warning. She just decided not to come in, hand in her notice and take all her holidays.

She text me today (after a month) saying she is working for a competitor, she is happy and I should do the same.

I'm so upset. I am left with so much work. A new line manager who has no clinical background - only sales.

I am not sure what to do. The workload is piling up. I'm working overtime just to meet deadlines. If I mention anything - my manager is like well everyone is on the same boat.

Surely this can't be the strategy moving forwards? Then I see weird promotions for people who actually don't do any impactful work..

How is this.fair?.

Harvard College Dean David J. Deming described the recent summer layoffs as a "horrible" and difficult process. He stated that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences implemented these cuts to address a significant structural deficit. Despite the challenges, Deming expressed pride in the College staff for largely maintaining student-facing programming. He acknowledged that some programs were impacted, but emphasized that most remained intact. Deming believes the restructuring, which reversed some prior administrative decisions, was a responsible approach.

If the company were to announce any year-end workforce reductions or restructurings, could anyone clarify what the typical timeline looks like?

Specifically around

Notice Period: How far in advance are affected individuals/teams generally notified prior to an official announcement

Offboarding Timeline: After an announcement is made, what is the typical length of time employees remain active on payroll

The title says it all.

Based on the town hall discussion, there appears to be considerable uncertainty regarding the company’s strategic direction and the implementation of the new operating model. The analogy that the “aircraft is being built while being flown by Captains JS and SS” may have been intended to acknowledge the complexity of the transition; however, for an organization with a market capitalization exceeding $30 billion, it could also reinforce employee concerns that the restructuring is proceeding without a sufficiently defined plan. The messaging did not provide the level of clarity, transparency, or reassurance employees reasonably expect from senior leadership during a period of significant organizational change. Some of the analogies used also seemed disconnected from the practical concerns facing employees, particularly regarding accountability, organizational stability, and the future structure of the business. This risks undermining trust and does not appear fully aligned with Pembina’s stated values of respect, transparency, and collaboration.

It would be helpful for senior leadership to provide a more direct update on the maintenance restructuring, including the intended organizational model, decision-making timelines, potential impacts on technical and engineering roles, and whether any further workforce reductions or layoffs are anticipated. The place is in a mess at the moment.

Did anyone saw this in Q1 results ? Seems O has stopped reporting it’s restructuring plans due to hype in media

Posting this because a lot of us are anxious, and anxiety plus rumor is a bad combination. Here's my honest read on what's actually known, and — more usefully — what you can do regardless of how it lands.
What's actually known (and what isn't)
A large restructuring is underway. Leadership has signaled it. That part is real.
But the announcements are running top-down, in order: the senior leadership layer first, then each leader defines their own organization, and it propagates down from there. The practical consequence: the org structures below the top have not been drawn yet. Until the connectivity/COO organization is laid out, most "who's safe, who's cut" talk is genuinely premature. That's not reassurance — it's just honestly where we are right now.
One caution I'd offer anyone reading layoff forums this week, including this one: a confident, insider-sounding theory is still a theory. Real sourcing above a certain level is rare, and a coherent story is not the same thing as a confirmed fact. Be especially skeptical of the posts that tell you the outcome is inevitable and you're powerless. Panic doesn't help you make a single decision — and neither does the "this is an unstoppable, brilliantly-run machine" narrative. Both just make you feel worse while you wait.
What you can actually control (do these now, whatever happens to your box)

1.  Read your severance plan. The Summary Plan Description is on the benefits portal — you can pull it today. Know three things: weeks of pay per year of service, the cap, and — the one people miss — whether declining a "comparable" internal role can void your severance. Understand this before you're ever in that conversation, not during it.
2.  Document your equity. Write down your vesting dates and amounts. Then find the plan language on how a spin-off converts or adjusts your RSUs — that mechanism is moving under everyone's feet right now, and it can change both the value and the timing.
3.  Know your WARN rights. Federal WARN generally requires 60 days' advance notice for qualifying layoffs; some states add to that. Know what notice and protections you're owed.
4.  Get your house in order early, not at the gate. Resume refreshed, network reactivated, references lined up. The best time to do this is before you need it. It costs you nothing if you stay.
5.  Use the real resources. The EAP for counseling — this is a stressful stretch and that's legitimate. Any outplacement that's offered. Your state's Rapid Response / dislocated-worker program. And check your unemployment eligibility so you're not learning it under pressure.

The new chain of command has to happen first. We have Angelakis’ reports, the new HR and the new Finance announcements. Now we need Croney’s. Who are his new directs? If we follow the pattern, this should be the next announcement. Everything else is premature. No doubt this will be the most significant restructuring in Comcast history, but we need Croney’s structure to understand how everything will newly align.

Now that ric is gone.. what’s the probability?

The flashing lights are blinking red,
The servers groan and cry.
The "Think" signs hanging on the wall
Are watching tech hopes die.

An email lands at three AM,
"Restructuring is here!"
Which means your budget got slashed down
And mainframe teams disappear.

The cloud is mixed with legacy,
The software’s glued with tape.
They bought Red Hat to save the day,
But there is no escape.

The consultants pitch a massive plan,
With slides of pure design,
While engineers are pulling hair
To keep the code online.

Oh Watson AI used to rule,
The champion of the screen,
But now it’s just a broken cog
Inside a sad machine.

So raise a glass to Big Blue skies,
Now overcast with gray.
The storm is blowing through the tech,
And blowing cash away.

The Trade Desk has implemented a global workforce reduction affecting approximately 15% of its employees.

In a new emergency filing submitted on September 6, 2026 (Docket No. 1361) in the DISH Wireless bankruptcy, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors alleges that EchoStar insiders created a $19.9 billion “intercompany loan” and used it to justify transferring Boost Mobile out of the DISH Wireless estate, a move the filing describes as benefiting non‑debtor affiliates at the expense of Wireless creditors.

The motion to appoint an independent trustee or strip case exclusivity represents the highest-stakes maneuver yet to wrest control from EchoStar insiders. The Committee is asking the judge to appoint an independent Chapter 11 trustee or terminate DISH Wireless’s exclusive control of the case, citing conflicts of interest, undisclosed FCC actions, and looming administrative insolvency. Based on the filing’s evidence, the motion is asking for either trustee appointment or loss of exclusivity, both of which could trigger an investigation into the Boost transfer and shift control away from EchoStar. If the judge grants either of the UCC's demands, EchoStar will lose control over the restructuring timeline.
