#rumor

My original assumption is that fully remote workers are going to get laid off soon since this guy is adamant about enforcing full RTO. But who knows these days..

Be cautious of what you take from this forum -- there is a bias. People paranoid, with a negative mindset, or disgruntled are more likely to be on here -- that should be obvious.
Additionally anyone can post on here -- and if a Chinese group went through the trouble hack into the company, then this is low hanging fruit for any country that wants to cause chaos in the US economy. Just pop on an anonymous forum, and spew off rumors about upcoming layoffs -- incredibly easy way to manipulate the stock market.

Any change in prabhat org? Suddenly townhall canceled.

Been hearing rumors through the grapevine of more RIFs at RFAB

November 19th has been confirmed as a Wednesday blood bath. Then later in the week, or the next week for a 2nd RIF round. I was told not just US staff either.

Bumping this from @we+1k9zcd9zv for important info.

Some say 10% WFR, others say 30%

Anyone hear rumors at all about Verizon Connect?

So the day has come and gone. And I’m sure the goal post will also be moved. Everyone’s wear Monday morning. The senior directors will know. Then commenters I know it’s in the afternoon or close of business. Well, the time is coming to pass. Tomorrow apparently we were supposed to see mass resignation emails. I’m sure that goal plus will also be moved. Can any senior director confirm if they’ve gotten notice?

Heard the NRB is going to be hit off with the amount of excess engineers hanging around

What do we collectively know so far?
When is the next round and who will be affected?

Has anyone heard about accounting or specific departments?

Can anybody shed some light on rumored December cuts?

I've heard from a few people that there's no need to worry about layoffs until next year. The higher-ups don't want to upset people too close to the holidays. Is this true or is it just wishful thinking?

People who are having extended life, wait until Q1 2026 round?
60K 2026 is the new normal?

Country specific as each European countries have different layoff laws.
A lot of field sales will go.
Accounts will be managed centrally in a lot of cases. Enterprise contracts won’t be renewed as they come up on term.
This is what happens when you run a company into the ground.
The international VBG backbone network will massively shrink in size, countries will be exited..
the on again off again BT global JV or merger seems to at least being discussed again.. And or rumours of VBG enterprise going to HCL.. that I doubt though as when MNS went to HCL they let HCL RIF everyone who transitioned over.
Can count on 1 hand the amount of large clients left… cost base is approx double actual revenue has been like this for a decade and year on year getting worse.
Basically looking at a VBG exit strategy internationally.. This is what Dan meant in Q3 analyst call - we have parts of the business that are costing us Billions in margin.

Are they going to layoff first then re-org at a later time? Or is everything happening simultaneously?

T-Mo planning a 10%+ cut in force and is gunna use the VZ announcement as cover. We’ve being used!

Has anyone heard anything going with T?

Has anyone else heard this rumor?

No trolls please. Only want to hear from folks who actually have credible information.

I've been seeing more people who leave the team chats recently. When I click their profile to see their orgs, I don't see any report chain, not even their manager. When I go see their LinkedIn profiles, their profiles state that they are still working at BP, and many are early-career professionals. Is this common recently?

With stores closing it doesn’t look good for r2b. Will they move them out of stores or RIFd entirely?

I heard a rumor the layoffs have begun.
I hope it's not true. If it is true, I'm very sorry to those affected.
It's astounding they (Cenovus/Meg) were planning this in advanced, and couldn't at least have the decency to wait until after Christmas but I guess the C Suite want their bonuses.

For the curious former employees, what happened? Who got laid off?

And then days later leak the news and every source reports 15k job cuts?! Was this Franz's first task in office?

What is Xerox even doing with CareAR at this point? I thought I heard rumor of an acquisition that never happened?

Or staying?

So kudos to people keeping slacks open to the public, most people probably saw the 29k reference. However I found a new one showing 200 people under Kevin Z... also OWBPA report was referenced. So it looks like the retail rumors are definitely true. One more week till we all know if we have a job or no job going into 2026. Really su-ks that this is our reality, hoping for the best.

Does anyone have real information on next RIFs by area? This site is becoming more useless with no real info while before it had good insight. Now it’s just a site for people to complain about their boss or job or past associates to come troll. Real info, please!

There’s a rumour that Atleos will leave the new office building in New Belgrade and move to a village called Šimanovci. I hope this isn’t true, but still…

Nobody knows anything. I'm not saying layoffs aren't happening but seems to me nobody has solid proof of what's actually happening on the 20th, if anything at all.

All these news articles are saying same thing word for word and it's all taken straight from this website. They have no reliable source.

So many new unnecessary threads. Impossible to read them all. We went from 1 or 2 a day to 10 an hour. This is ridiculous!!!!!

I know there are plenty of trolls, but please, for the sake of the rest of the thread. Just leave the trolling for somewhere else. Have any band fives been asked to give a list or have been given a list?

Wasn't able to join, but saw the slack thread and didn't see much on there about what actually happened

Word around town, next week is round 2.

Rumored 750 cuts.

Anyone heard anything with R2B or mid-markets? Clearly if retail locations close it will impact R2B so mid-markets seems to be the safest place. Thoughts?

SBG and Collab will be hit a bit based on rumours
