LAHSA will issue layoff notices to 284 employees. Their final day of work is scheduled for June 30. This action is part of a restructuring plan. The agency cites impending county funding cuts and a shift in its role. LAHSA will now focus on governance, data management, and federal funding.

BNY employees increasingly describe changes that align with the AI‑driven cost‑reduction strategies McKinsey promotes to large financial institutions.

The most visible shift we see is the steady automation of repetitive, rules‑based work that RV brags about in the media — onboarding, KYC refresh, reconciliations, service requests, and exception routing. Employees report that tasks once handled by full teams are now processed through AI‑enabled workflows, reducing the need for manual roles and shrinking job families.

Decision‑support AI is also reshaping middle‑skill positions. Workers note fewer analyst roles, broader spans of control, and more “AI‑assisted” oversight, which mirrors McKinsey’s recommendation to streamline mid‑tier functions by embedding intelligence into platforms rather than people.

The Platform Operating Model (P-O-M) accelerates this transition. Employees describe work being standardized, centralized, and moved offshore once AI reduces the skill threshold required. This matches McKinsey’s model: automate first, relocate second.

The impact on employees is becoming clearer. Career paths in legacy operations, service, and processing roles are narrowing as automation absorbs institutional knowledge and reduces the value of tenure. Job security is declining in functions where work can be digitized, offshored, or both. New roles are emerging in AI governance, data quality, and exception management — but not in volumes that offset reductions.

Employee reports consistently reflect the same conclusion: AI is not just a tool at BNY; it is a restructuring engine.

BNY Mellon’s transformation now resembles a tightly coordinated execution of the McKinsey cost reduction playbook, and employees on TheLayoff.com have been documenting the pattern in real time.

What appear to be uncoordinated, isolated decisions — RTO pressure, minimal merit increases, shrinking teams, selective backfilling, and quiet office closures — align directly with the consulting frameworks used to drive sustained operating expense reduction. This is all by design.

The Platform Operating Model (P-O-M) is the structural engine behind this shift. By standardizing processes, consolidating technology, and centralizing work into platform hubs, P-O-M enables organizational delayering, automation, and location strategy at scale. Employees describe this as work being “platformed,” automated, or reassigned to lower cost regions, particularly Pune.

International labor laws also shape the strategy. In the U.S. and U.K., strict notification rules, severance expectations, and WARN Act thresholds make large layoffs expensive and highly visible. In contrast, offshore hubs operate under more flexible labor regimes, allowing faster scaling, easier restructuring, and lower long term cost commitments. This is why employees increasingly observe that even offshore roles are not permanent; as the cost model scales globally, work continues migrating to the lowest cost compliant jurisdiction available.

RTO, low raises, and real estate consolidation are deliberate levers within this model: RTO increases voluntary attrition, minimal wage growth suppresses labor cost inflation, office closures reduce fixed costs and concentrate work in platform hubs.

The TheLayoff.com threads reflect this architecture in motion — “stealth layoffs,” “jobs shifting offshore,” “constant reorganizations,” and “RTO used as a filter” — all consistent with a long horizon, platform driven cost transformation strategy.

Morrisons plans to cut approximately 200 roles at its Bradford head office. These reductions will affect positions across marketing, commercial, and technical teams.

Technology companies globally laid off over 80,000 employees recently. These job cuts also impacted workers in Tennessee. Nashville-based Oracle Corp. engineers were among 25,000 company layoffs. This restructuring aims to invest in artificial intelligence infrastructure. Amazon also laid off 16,000 workers, including some in Nashville.

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.

Job ads will mostly disappear. Senior positions will be T3 and T4 only because they refuse to eliminate any T5 roles. Executives across the board mainly just listen to the executive board without doing much work themselves. The actual work is handled by the T5 and T4 beneath them. Right now, the talk is that the cuts will mainly target T1 and T2 roles to significantly reduce numbers. The idea is that T4 and T3 can take over those jobs with the help of Claude AI. They’re also planning to cut several T3 and T4 positions. These will be replaced by key resources like HR, who are shifting to become development managers. A new position called "SAP AI Architects" will be introduced. This role is similar to other architect positions but is designed to assist HRs in adapting to their new responsibilities since they lack technical expertise. However, some other architect roles will be eliminated. Product Owner and Product Manager roles will also be eliminated under the name of HPOM efficiency. Much of this has been discussed for months now and this seems like this is pretty much the final version.

Performance Management will be we-ponized against anyone who voices too many complaints. It will also serve to keep everyone’s loyalty in check. In 2026 and 2027, benefits and salary budgets are set to be slashed even more to boost share buybacks. And of course to give more bonuses to the executive board and executives in all areas. Unfiltered surveys will be above 70% for trust in the board regardless of how employees vote in 2026.

It’s crucial for employees to grasp where things went wrong. The supervisory board elected two years ago has been quite anti-employee and pro-layoffs. They’ve actively worked to increase bonuses for the executive board while cutting salary budgets and benefits for regular employees. The new Works Council is mostly made up of the same people as before. Sadly, they seem more focused on securing a good layoff deal for themselves and then leaving. This pattern happened four years ago when half the Works Council left and it is repeating itself now. The answer is to elect pro-employee, anti-layoff candidates to both the Works Council and the Executive board. These candidates should hold the executive board accountable for SAP's strategy. And honestly, executives in most areas should be laid off. A majority of them are millionaires already and are only here to drain as many Euros as possible from SAP into their own pockets. T5s who have been with SAP for a long time are pretty much useless as they are disconnected from reality and only interested in building their "empires".

Hi everyone, I’m looking for any insight regarding potential restructuring within Aetna. Specifically, has anyone heard whispers about upcoming layoffs or organizational changes hitting the DDAT (Digital, Data, Analytics, and Tech) side? Any info would be appreciated.

With Mortal Kombat II hitting movie theaters and video game platforms this summer, employees here swear RV has been studying for a cameo. Not as a hero—those roles require budgets—but as the impeccably calm, soul-stealing iconic super-villain who whispers “Your soul is mine!” every time another “efficiency initiative” rolls out and heads must roll.

In this corporate remake, positive operating leverage is his finishing move.
Shareholders cheer as expenses drop, margins rise, and the stock price performs a “flawless victory. “

Meanwhile, employees brace for the monthly and quarterly “global realignments,” which arrive with the predictability of a franchise sequel.

Associates joke that RV has mastered a rare power: absorbing the power of others, all while maintaining the GLP1 expression of someone who already knows the next round’s outcome.

In this Mortal Kombat remake, no one throws a punch. DM's spreadsheets do all the fighting.

Today is the day that many folks in SP1 are moving offices. What is the intent of the office building reshuffles? Will space be sublet out or is this just to free up space for future growth?

The modern Ford Motor Co. has emerged, CEO Jim Farley said Wednesday as the company detailed some restructuring and said it will refresh 80% of its North American vehicle volume by 2029 as a part of its efforts to compete against new competitors like Chinese brands.

Former Apple Inc. executive Doug Field, Ford's chief EV, digital and design officer, will depart over the next month as Ford prepares to launch next year its new Universal Electric Vehicle platform.

This won't be layoff in the traditional sense, it will be realign/restructure/RTO for company needs orne forced out maybe some early retirement for people. But SF doesn't need layoffs when they can just pull the right levers and force people to leave. That last giant survey we did a few months back was just them finding out how far they can turn the dial each time to achieve the desired effect.

Hey everyone, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the layoff situation at CVS, but I’ve noticed something strange: there haven't been any major WARN notices filed lately. Given the restructuring talk we heard last year, I’m trying to make sense of this.

Does the lack of filings mean the company is actually doing well and the 'efficiency' goals were met without more cuts? Or is this a sign that the broader economy is stabilizing? I’d love to hear if anyone inside the company has insight into whether more rounds are coming or if we're finally in the clear.

Rumor here is they are reducing the amount of SL per market - and putting the reduced amount of them at the market level here - to visit stores, etc.

In his first month of being interim CIDO, "Hot Mess" has already announced another restructuring for IT. What an innovative strategy that will absolutely not backfire. But don't forget to do your Time tracking (give me a break).

At this point, it makes the most sense to file CH11 now and start a planned slide into restructuring, ensuring the best possible outcome and odds for survival. Save the company, and as many jobs as you can.

They will not do that.

As bad as things are, life is still pretty good in the command bunker. The EC is paid well and treated like royalty. They go to their F1 races, and attend sporting events in skyboxes with vendors they will eventually default on their line of credit with. It's nice, they run things, and have a comfortable standard of living; it is ideal.

What is not ideal is giving up control, giving up the perks, giving up the excessive compensation to drive the company into a ditch.

Actually saving the company would require sacrifice from the EC. They have chosen not to do that. Instead, they attend F1 races, spend lavishly (on themselves) and run out the clock on a company that could be saved. The company is an end to their means - nothing else. Whatever happens will be a lot worse that it needed to be, because they want to go to one more race, sit in one more skybox for a hockey game, lord over you for one more day, before a mandated bankruptcy trustee reined them in, and put an end to it.

Remember that when they say WE have to make sacrifices, WE have to do difficult things. WE, isn't we, it's YOU.

The next month will bring a lot of restructuring and layoffs. It is a harsh reminder that none of us are indispensable in the corporate machine. Remember that this job is not your identity or your measure of worth in this world. Best of luck to all of you. There is life outside of Medtronic.

The best people being kicked out again? When I was let go last year, what was left of our team was a joke. Just a few a-s-kissers. I wonder how that worked out for them. I hope things are better and at least they're getting rid of actual low performers this time, but I doubt it.

"This is not any reflection of the strength of our business. We have the biggest opportunity in Pendo history ahead of us. We are setting ourselves up to move at a faster speed to capitalize on it," said CEO Todd Olson in a statement. "We've been in a process of 'refounding' Pendo over the past six months as the technology landscape has changed dramatically. We had many of the largest companies in the world here, and they consider Pendo mission-critical infrastructure as they build agents, build with agents, and change how they work with AI. These operational changes are necessary to help us move faster and meet the needs of these companies as they transform."

If we had a honest fireside chat right now the following would need to be said; please add what else you think is missing
·      Xerox currently has a hiring and retention talent problem where we can’t hire or keep the right level of staffing. (Stated in 10k)
·      Xerox currently has 15-25% staff within positions that need to be re-organized into GBS positions sooner than later.
·      Xerox currently has 25-45% staff that need to be released with 25% being residue from the purchase of Lexmark.
·      Xerox when purchasing Lexmark made a mistake by acquiring $1.5 Billion in debt above and beyond the debt we already had on the books.
·      Xerox will not be able to make debt payments starting in 2027 and will most likely be filing Chapter 11 in 1st Quarter 2027.
·      Xerox is not paying vendors on timeframes favorable to the vendors to save money; every penny we get in interest is needed.
·      Our stock price in the next 90 days will go below $1.00 starting the count down till we are delisted or transferred to the penny stock section of the news paper.

Massive reduction in force aligned for June under the code "restructuring". Starting July, company will operate under a completely new model. Won't get it into it here, but huge paring of middle managers (team leaders) and entire functions run under separate teams eliminated. 15 - 20 percent of workforce, to include all levels, VP, directors, IC.

Today I was informed that a restructuring occurred
Your position was impacted or so I heard

To say I was surprised would be a lie
For I saw this coming in my mind's own eye

To be fired now would seem a sin
But I saw it coming. I'll take this on the chin

On day one I was told this will never last
Prepare for the worst, work hard and work fast.

I toiled and worked long hours for sure
Implementing specs, features and more

The days flew by as they do
We all go through this, we all knew

Do not feel sad for this is a new beginning
This is not the ninth, it's only the sixth inning

To the new college grads I have one request
Work hard and stay strong and be at your best

To all I have known throughout these good years.
I say to you now, be happy and of good cheer.

Ciao
