Why are people acting like this is done? Many more will lose their jobs before this is truly over. This is, at best, a short reprieve.

Any idea? It’s really inconsiderate, to put it mildly, to keep us completely in the dark. We’re all stressed out of our minds, and the only “info” we have comes from each other, half of it nothing but unsubstantiated rumors. Way to leave us with our livelihoods hanging in the balance, while we have no clue what’s really happening.

Rumor is the FRA is going to allow for less frequent signal inspections. Crossings will go from monthly to quarterly inspection intervals. Yes this would free up time for signal maintainers to work supporting maintenance of way which is very much needed, but as always this is causing fears of further headcount reductions to the signal dept. What this doesnt address is the constant need for additional headcount for trouble calls. With current staffing levels there still isnt enough employees available for trouble calls.

Federal projects are in potential danger due to the funds are been cut, close to 1000 Employees situation in deep worries

It appears that another major reorganization may be announced this week. I’ve heard it could affect benefits—possibly pensions in particular. That said, the source isn’t especially reliable, so it’s difficult to know for sure.

friday, i saw someone ask if anyone have intel on the difference between this opt-in severance vs what they might offer if you get laid off in nov.

sure it might be a d-mb question to some, but its a honest one. ive seen d-mber things that're being posted here all the time, why would this site proactively deleting just that

Also heard multiple people voluntarily quit due to the RIFs. Is this true?

Are they offering any severance or pip? It may be my turn at the year end point so just want to plan ahead. I just hope I get a few weeks severance and bonus for the year.

The marketing research company has allegedly laid off 1,000 employees who worked at its Gurgaon, India office, located near the country’s capital city of New Delhi, information shared by Reddit users on the r/Gurgaon subthread showed...

The stock also snagged price target cuts from many analysts, with UBS downgrading it to ‘Neutral’ from ‘Buy,’ citing the company’s soft contract value growth, the Fly reported. The firm stated that the company now appears to be a 3% organic grower in 2026, down from the previously expected 6% rate. According to the firm, this will limit stock upside.

Wells Fargo cut its price target for the stock to $225 from $345, citing a wide contract value miss in the second quarter. The firm based its toned-down expectations on macro uncertainty pressuring the selling environment, as well as cancellations and non-renewals of federal government contracts.

It noted that 40% of federal contracts would come up for renewal in the second half of 2025.

1000 people got laid off at Gartner Gurgaon in the past 2 days

All rumors points to the second Tuesday of September. Will report back what I learn around me on the learning day!

Incoming new hire here. What’s the current culture at Citi within HCOL offices in the US? Specifically NYC/Boston offices? Is the whole bora bora project (mass layoff) still going on?

"Another round of layoffs expected to impact 10 to 15 percent of our workers must be completed by November in order to meet our dividend needs."

This was told at the director's meeting this evening. When will this stop?!?

Will there be cuts in EMEA? I haven’t seen anything so far and me and my colleagues are freaking out. I’m talking about ops mainly, in the GIUs (which apparently are not called GIUs anymore)

I was going to apply for a job in that group but second guessing because of instability being caused by mass layoffs.

People just want to be told what the plan is. The company should just quit with the management speak and tell everyone what the plan is. They want attrition right? Maybe admitting what the future looks like will help some people on the fence decide to leave.

Are we all done for this round? Or do we have more days of stress remaining?

Myself and a slew of members from my team. (But not all of them are from my team, and not all of my team was invited).

My assumption is either: "Changes are happening and you were not affected, but we're sorry", or "You were affected by these changes and here's the next steps."

When will we know about benefit changes and when will layoffs begin? Some of us will base our futures on this information!!

With Tuesday being the big day? Just want to make sure I’m understanding this right.

So like. Are we actually expecting layoffs, or did that guy just shout "fire" in a movie theater for kicks?

Over the past two years, Dell has fired more than 30,000 employees, with waves of layoffs continuing to hit the workforce. At the same time, top executives are frequently selling off their stock, raising concerns about confidence in the company’s direction.

Inside Dell, sweeping process changes are underway, but few employees know what the endgame looks like. The lack of transparency has created an atmosphere of fear and speculation, leaving morale at an all-time low.

Some employees are even speculating about the possibility of a voluntary separation program as an alternative to ongoing layoffs. While many doubt Dell will ever offer such an option, the fact that it’s widely hoped for underscores just how deep the uncertainty and anxiety run within the workforce.

Michael Dell himself has a reputation as a cut-throat businessman who prioritizes profits above all else. While that approach may appeal to investors in the short term, it raises questions about the company’s long-term stability and its commitment to its people.

As Dell continues to navigate this turbulent period, one thing is clear: uncertainty reigns, and the human cost is mounting.

It's about to get nasty. Big wave coming.

Teams were running on fumes when I was there, and I walked away two years ago. Who are they planning to get rid of now?

All the layoffs currently happening are outside of the U.S., right? I was under the impression we'd be safe at least for a while before we're hit again. Was I wrong?

It’s a no-brainer, really. I just hope cuts won’t be massive. Most of us need this job, no matter how little we like it or how underappreciated we feel.

Anyone got any ideas if Liverpool is to remain open? Lots of uncertainty at the moment.

Tomorrow or next week?

Does this mean layoffs are completed for Mike Sicilia’s org or could we possible have more layoffs until town hall?

This is the next meeting where they talk about the new portfolio model and yet, there is no info on what the structure will actually be. Will we be notified only on 9/3 if our leaders were let go?? The layoffs on 9/3 and the portfolio model must surely be the same thing?

Does anyone know? We’ve been stuck in a constant guessing game for weeks now.

I took VSP and will be gone in ‘26 Understandably I’m far less important right now than everyone else who’s getting meetings or emails about their fate My heart goes out to all of you I’m wondering if / when VSPs will bear anything at all I want to be here for the people I work directly with each day and I’m hearing murmurs of impacts. But I’m at a complete standstill right know - I have heard crickets this week To spite everything around me being shifted - I haven’t had a meeting an email or anything And my work is at a complete stand still because I don’t know what’s happening with all of my peers - crickets

Who will be voted off the magenta island next?!

Rumor mill is saying Frier announcement coming before retail season kicks off.

I’m guessing Sievert is gone in January. New year and whole new senior leadership team.

Indicator for your org is usually the all-hands, it is typically scheduled after lay-off rounds are complete. They are never truly complete though, but may be paused for 6 months, a year if you are lucky.

For instance, Chris' all-hands in Fusion is second week of October with universal agreement that firings will start on September 2nd, so they will go for 5 weeks.
OP: @a7+1k3kjayrf

The company said it would encourage the affected employees to apply for open roles, which could lower the final layoff figure. The cuts are out of a total workforce of 15,638 employees as of last year.

Since Paramount and Skydance merged I think Ive read somewhere there could be more layoffs soon..... Im not 100% sure so can someone back me up?

If not, I afraid there will be another mini wave

If you think it is, you're being incredibly naive. We'll get a month or two reprieve before more cuts are announced. And that's how it's going to be from now on. The writing's on the wall, people.

Those who survived this round, are you feeling relieved? I'm not, at all. Number one, I still can't relax, even though I know it's over for now. And number two, since I know there'll be more down the line for sure, I don't feel any safer than I did yesterday. So not much of a change.
