I’ve been hearing rumors of layoffs being planned before year‑end. Normally I wouldn’t worry about those kinds of rumors, but I’ve heard the same story from several completely unrelated sources now, and it’s starting to stress me out. If anyone has additional info (or can say with confidence that it’s not happening) I’d really appreciate you sharing it.

Layoffs are inevitable
Ok someone somewhere knows exactly what is coming in the next 4-6 weeks, if I am getting a layoff then some time to apply to other better companies would be very welcome! Someone has walked by a conference room and seen the closure lists or the new Org charts so come on spill the beans? Orlando got a big bunch of the frontline gone and by my calculations we need about 2500 more to go to hit the number we all keep hearing about!
KD Out!
She knew (as is knew-knew, iykwim) about BL and covered up. Done 1/1!
Pluto Tv Longevity
Has anyone heard about DE’s plans for Pluto? I’ve seen rumors here that Plutos days may be numbered… but would it make sense to spend all this time and money converging P+ and Pluto to then just ki-l Pluto?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Anyone know what orgs will be impacted on Monday?
I hear notices going out. Please share what you know
What’s this rumor that some people were notified yesterday?

Quiet Layoffs
I guess they aren’t going to bother to address the quiet layoffs they’ve had this week at HQ?
Is that 25% management cut number true?
Heard from 5 people in different departments that that 25% number being floated around is basically accurate.

Any BA reports / rumours?
I keep seeing post about RIF's / layoffs / etc, but wondering if those have more to do with local field maintenance technicians and not Building Automation staff.
I haven't heard of anyone in the few hundred people I deal with on a monthly basis getting let go. I'm not based out of any major hub.
RIF 950
While we don't know exact count, rumour and water cooler chats are a buzz about ~1k cuts at each location / BU.
Majority of these are are level 6,7,8, squad leads, scrum masters and few 4,5 to make it seem random "business strategy alignment"
Sick joke, FU Bob 🖕🏻
This headline is a lie. IBM didn't say 1%, it said single-digit, it could be 5% or even 9%.

RIF Incoming
Talked to two Grade 8’s - both in FI, who are extremely confident that there will be some sort of RIF this month, maybe 11/18. Sounds like a sizable cut.
Another person I used to work with in PI Phones, high up, confirmed. Anyone else hearing anything?

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone’s heard anything about potential redundancies or layoffs at PayPal in the new year? There’s been a bit of chatter lately, but nothing concrete, so I’m curious if anyone’s picked up on any rumours or has a general sense of what might be coming down the line.

Request for Manager Feedback from a VP?
Anyone else ever receive a request for feedback about their Manager/Director from the VP of the chain of command? I received a request but no one else on my team received one. Wondering if this is a screening for them or for me ahead of the rumored January layoffs?
