Any news of any layoffs in HR?

The question is, who is left to rif? Any news on rif calls going out week after next which will be a non-paycheck week? Or will they continue to make up more ridiculous work requirements to get the rest of us to quit or retire earlier than planned?

I can confirm there were layoffs well beyond TA, as I was part of group more than 110 research support staff that were unceremoniously informed that it was their last day at Gartner and given less than 24 hours to download their paystubs and say their goodbye to their colleagues. It was truly a brutal and emotionally devastating experience.

KM4 roles. Outsourcing

I can confirm two more people left Lima and one more left Calgary this week. Two more also left Toledo although I can’t confirm whether it was voluntary or involuntary.

A CU leader just blurted out “there’s another round of cuts coming [2025Q4]”. Other NYP leaders have mentioned gaps that need to be closed.

What’s the official word? Personnel are going to impacted? Focusing on OTPS only?

I work in the BU in Dallas and last week we had hundreds of people laid off but I haven’t seen any exact numbers or big news outlets talking about this at all… I feel like this was a very dramatic cut but I’m confused why the media isn’t talking about that and instead they’re talking about the much smaller December layoffs…

Seems like there is still speculation around a VSP, not surprising given the age demographic of the RIFed employees (mostly under age 60?). Anyone hear anything, or is this wishful thinking?

What info does anyone have regarding RIFs in the upcoming months?

I can confirm a method to see if your role is impacted in an imminent RIF: Go to your HCM Service Apps > Personal Info > My Compensation and look at your "Effective Period."
If it has changed from "Ongoing" to a specific future date (a week or 5 days from now), that is very likely your termination date. This is exactly what happened to a colleague who was just laid off.
Has anyone else verified this? It seems to be a reliable early signal.

I'm sure some other state will be affected. Overall this is not good!

We all know what means… India about to grow and take more American jobs

Will Cisco engage in another round of layoffs? yes. 100%
Will Cisco LRs happen next week? in November on the Q1 earnings call? in February on the Q2 earnings call? in May for Q3 or August for Q4/FY ? yes, probably.

Is Cisco bad? no. Cisco us a soulless entity (a corporation) that exists to enrich it's owners (shareholders). Some of the people who lead Cisco may be 'bad' but that is a value judgement.

You, the employee, have a choice to make. You can work and consume based on yesterday's economy or you can make some changes now.

You WILL get laid off and the economy, hiring environment and future looks bleak. These are facts and why you and your colleagues are feeling hyper stressed right now. IT feels unnatural. It feels different.

In the past a looming LR was a bad feeling, now its panic.

Use that panic to do something.

There are essentially two levers that you have control of, Your personal investing and your personal spending.

one the spending side the alarm klaxon should be wailing right now. start with the big rocks, for maost of you these are housing, transportation, healthcare, debt servicing ann education. For some of you it's bourbon, handbags or gadgetry.
This is not a "Latte Factor" discussion, saving $4 a day will not cut it.
Go hard. Be relentless. Sell your luxury car (while you can) and buy a reliable one. no one cares.
Trade down to a smaller, more affordable house in a nice neighborhood.
Review all of you insurance and healthcare needs and find ways to reduce expenditures.

on the investing side, build a cash reserve equal to 6 moths of expenses (at a minimum) Money Markets still earn close to 4% which is a great return for short term investments.

while you are doing that make sure you are investing enough into your 401K to get the company match (I don't work for Cisco but assume 4-5%) once you have your 6 months of expenses, max your 401k.

One benefit this gives you is that it helps you to remain tied to your ethical anchor. your principles and values matter. Financial stress creates ethical dilemmas. Financial Independence allows you to avoid many of those.

Cisco doesn't care about you because Cisco can't care about you. Some people at Cisco are good, some are bad. Embrace the good, reject the bad and stay true to yourself.

Let’s not let the government off the hook as they are enabling ExxonMobil and others. They had no problem letting blue collar jobs off shore for cheap products that are “reduced carbon emission” which is a joke in itself. And then letting wages be undercut by illegals given free access across the border.

Now high paying high skill jobs are being worked remote along with rotating “temporary” jobs under L1 visa which are in fact a permanent displacement of a full time person.

The government not only doesn’t care but don’t understand the magnitude and impact of all this and without a drastic shift in policy, it’s going to be very hard to put the genie sick in the bottle.

My take- AI layoffs coming. HR gearing up to handle. Heard Natl Genl is now on all Allstate computers and systems. IT will be hurt. More unnecessary extras in same roles will be riffed. Waiting to see when. What do you think? What have you seen or heard? Packages?

Read carefully and between the lines. HR expanding- that’s to handle rifs, see if they can use people who job cut by AI. Looks like IT stuff going there, Lots of “alignment”. Good luck

RIF impacting North America-California. Unclear on other Global Regions.

On Monday there was a small RIF on some of the staff. Not large numbers but a shakeup in most functions at Mercury. This is directly after Q1 just ended. The only news that came from the execs. was an email about the Fremont shutting down and 'strategic' changes. You'd think with the company finally making money and getting wall street confidence there could be just 1 quarter that didn't have layoffs.

Here it comes, reduction in force on PC side. Operations or STS getting a group in the next few weeks. executive leadership, cashed in their stocks!! Let’s get it started!

It looks like more people will be let go in December. High-cost countries will be affected, but also Serbia and India. Serbia is usually left out (minimum impact) of the RIFs, as there is a huge turnover there, and Service Desks are decimated. Serbia is raising its minimum wage by January so entry-level jobs will be in the same range.

RIF today in the very last days of the 2025 fiscal year for Siemens Industry Automation group.

Anyone know what days this might be coming up?

Any new dates, details, etc for upcoming rifs?

Greetings! This is my first time posting here. I have heard through the grapevine that RIF's are coming to EMEA in October for some of the Irish sites. Can anybody confirm if this is true?

Friday was the last day for over 1/4 of the contact center and from what I hear similar rifs occurred elsewhere in the life & retirement area. Next big layoffs are planned for November-December timeframe af the division winds down and transfers servicing to Everlake/NTT Data/TAG.

i was the only one riffed in my team and probably the product. Was working ok, not so excellent but not so bad that i will be riffed. Have been in Oracle for 2 years

Need some help. I was part of the RIF earlier this month. Given WARN, my last day is Nov 3. However, I got the equipment return box this week. Am I supposed to return the equipment now (within 5 days) or wait until Nov 3rd ? I have no use for the laptop but since I am still on the payroll (albeit garden leave) until Nov3 , I wasn’t sure if I should return things now.

The past year I've been settled in cruising, super productive, high touch customer engagement activities that were directly tied to a revenue stream, 5 rating all around, visibility up to my VP. The thought of a RIF was the absolute further thing from my mind. And guess what, I got that 15 minute appointment scheduled in my calendar a few Monday's back, and it all ended. So for everyone left at Oracle thinking you're untouchable because of what you do, think twice. You/we really are just a number and when your time is up, someone up high will punch your ticket and you'll get that tap on the shoulder from your manager.

How has TI historically handled RIFs? I haven’t been at TI long enough to see other RIFs of this magnitude

I can't afford to just up and quit in this economy, but I've started mass-applying for positions at various other companies that will truthfully probably pay better than what I make at HCSC anyways.

This RIF has been the catalyst I needed to get the f--k out of here.

If the board put it to the masses for a vote..

Would you vote to suspend ALL bonuses and pay raises for a year to avoid a RIF?

It’s all or nothing, if we vote to suspend bonuses and raises.. nobody gets them.

Did this impact the state plan roles?

I’m also hearing that it’s not just Mortgage being impacted. Please share any info.

Does anyone know if people were laid off from the NBS team? Or any potential RIF?

Sad day for a lot of people. So far I’ve heard C&D shifts impacted. Anyone know if A&B shifts have been called in yet? Curious because rumor is a 2nd round of cuts goes down Friday.

I was told that the margins in the insurance business is getting smaller because of "Washington". that is the major reason of the rif. Thoughts and opinions? I leans towards this is not truthful. this is what the managers were told to tell the rank and file. the real reason is imho bad decisions from c-suite.

Analog Power Products division laid off today

“Hi everyone,
I heard there may have been some layoffs today (09/25) at HCSC/BCBS. Can anyone confirm if staff reductions actually happened and, if so, which departments or levels were affected? Just trying to get clarity and hear from those who may have direct knowledge. Thanks.”

It’s going down now mainly c13 and c14. As I posted earlier this month.
