#uncertainty

I feel like I haven't seen this many execs decide to step down with no announcement of a new position somewhere else. If these were retirements, would they be announced as retirements? Or would they say "stepping down" and "spend time with my family" and keep retirement under wraps? Has this many step downs happened at HP before.

I’ve heard so many different versions of what’s coming and when that I can barely keep track anymore. I know we’re in trouble. It would just be nice to know what’s ahead so we can at least try to prepare.

Hi, any word on today’s layoffs? I am on vacay this week, but kinda stressing. Anyone got updates?
I heard it's not going to be pretty at all.

I really hope we find out soon what’s going on. I can’t afford to lose my job right now. It’s just one of those tough stretches. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

I’m already getting cryptic comments in meetings and people are talking. If you hear anything before whatever change is coming next week, post it here!

Where I am, there’s basically nowhere else to go.

I have seen a surprising number of coworkers walk away without anything lined up. That says a lot about how rough things have gotten. When people would rather deal with uncertainty than stay here, it really hits you how bad the situation is right now.

The stress from the layoff rumors and the economic uncertainty is just constantly hanging over me. It feels like the job has taken over every corner of life, and there’s no real break from worrying about what might happen next. It’s exhausting, and this isn’t how anyone should have to live. But here we are.

With all the recent changes, it is difficult to feel settled in your job. Especially when you see roles shifting around or disappearing entirely all the time. It makes planning for the future feel almost impossible. I just wish there was more stability for everyone.

Not for long, I'm sure, but it's something.

Since the layoff conversations last week, I’ve noticed my coworkers have been extremely quiet/distant. I get it, life does go on and no one owes me anything, but I find it interesting and eye opening. Happy for everyone who survived (this round), cheering for anyone impacted. We’ll get through this.

Have not seen any published yet, but I know there have been layoffs.

But I’ll put up with whatever nonsense they throw at us, because there’s basically nothing out there right now. It feels like we’re completely cornered, and I hate that feeling.

I’ve tried to accept that I could be cut any day and just live with it. I’ve been focusing on job searching, but that’s only made me feel more depressed. I can’t shake the spikes of anxiety, and I’m barely sleeping. This has dragged on for so long that it’s taken a real toll on my ability to cope. A couple of days ago I realized I can’t even switch off for an hour. Nothing holds my attention long enough for my brain to actually rest. How are you all dealing with this?

I lost a job I didn’t even like, and I definitely won’t miss my manager, or a few people on my team, for that matter. But I’m still terrified of what’s out there. I’ve saved enough to bridge myself over for a bit, which helps ease the anxiety. I’m giving myself some time to decompress, and then I know I’ll flip straight into panic mode the moment I start dealing with the job market. I have this feeling things will get worse before they get better. It’s really hard to feel even remotely optimistic these days.

So we all know Fido moves slowly but based on water cooler chats, the mind has been made up

They are just delaying the announcement until Q1 2026.

There's no Q1 planning for our team apparently this year so not sure what that means??

Shankar’s AMA session today once again confirmed that additional workforce reductions are expected within TPG in 2026. He also acknowledged that leadership was not able to complete all planned organizational adjustments before December, as had previously been anticipated. This round of impact appears notably smaller on the Ansys side based on empirical data collected through internal high-level communications, which now aligns with the delayed timeline because the leadership is still trying to figure out these legacy Ansys portfolios, e.g., under MBU, FBU, etc.

Given this uncertainty, it might be wise to use the upcoming holiday season to prepare for potential changes—refresh your resume, explore job opportunities, and take steps to strengthen your position for next spring. Taking proactive measures now can make a meaningful difference later.

Agency just sprung the December furlough on me. 3 weeks this time. This is getting old real quick.

are we crash landing or what, make your predictions below!

Hi, all, St. Louis WFA office still has a large Supervision and Controls presence. Anyone have any intel, insight, or forecasts on the future of this group in St. Louis?

..depression is setting in. Thoughts are going to worst case scenerios. Can't help to think everything that I have worked for all these years is in danger.

Fiserv being heavily dependent on H1B visa holders.. the new rule taking out the auto-renewal of H1B effective October 30 2025 could impact the overall workforce seriously.

"The end of H-1B automatic renewal for those filing after October 30, 2025, creates uncertainty for H-1B holders, as their work authorization will cease on their current card's expiration date, potentially leading to unemployment gaps while waiting for USCIS to process their renewal. This change can jeopardize careers and financial stability for both the worker and their employer. This impacts not only H-1B visa holders but also their dependents (such as those on an H-4 visa) who hold work permits based on their dependent status. "

It was the silence and uncertainty that was ki-ling me. Waiting for the hatchet to fall. Created so much intense anxiety. Especially since EVERYONE and their mother knew that the layoffs were coming.

Yes, I’m out of a job. It’s not what I wanted, but at least I know. I’m going to take a few days to digest this unexpected turn of events. Then I’m moving forward in putting this dumpster fire of a company in the rearview mirror.

Anyone else here wondering how we’re going to cover all these big gaps we took with the amount of people that left ? Peers in SP were already busy and losing 4 people is just going to add more uncertainty. Those who stayed , get ready to work for the equal amount of pay.

I’ve been hearing all kinds of rumors, some of them pretty outlandish. I can’t figure out what, if anything, might be true.

It’s a rough time right now. A lot of us are worried about our jobs, not because we’ve never lost or changed jobs before, but because the market is terrible. Everyone’s on edge. So if you share anything, make sure it’s reliable or at least somewhat grounded. We need to be mindful of what people are going through. This is the time to support each other, not stir up fear or spread bait.

If we get laid off?

Need to set the alarm, don't want to miss the call and pi-s my boss or HR off, they may fire me.

Folks with 10+ years tenure…who can say they’re enjoying themselves right now? How many are merely holding on in the hope of redundancy? Anyone contemplating a future beyond the IT industry?

Am I alone?

so who is being cut? is it reps, online channels, managers, assistant managers? under performing stores/reps? it’s all confusing

With all these layoffs happening tomorrow and early next year. Do we still expect for a strike to happen out in the east coast or will the new CEO settle ?

Hard to believe it’s this tight lipped. It’s like we’re a boat heading to sea. On the horizon we see the big storm bubbling and everyone on the boat is just paddling straight in. Get ready for the waves I guess. Hopefully we actually learn something tomorrow. I find it difficult to believe there’s not one member of leadership that knows what’s going on.

Anyone know what’s going on with CMO?

Has anyone heard anything about the CISO org?

Has anyone heard about VCG Operations? Any talks of who is being riffed or any impacts to that department? Have they been notified? Are they being restructured?

As for me, I can’t see the silver lining in any outcome. I used to think I’d be relieved to be let go with a bit of money, but now I’m just anxious about what happens next if I am laid off.

Old Webroot office in Broomfield has been sold.

Not sure what will happen to staff in the office, maybe RIF or be made virtual
