#uncertainty

Brace for impact.

How do you settle down in this environment? How do you buy a house, have kids, make any kind of long term plan when your job could disappear next month? Endless layoffs mean endless uncertainty. And endless uncertainty means you can't build a life. Working at Dell offered a certain security for many of us that the new generations don't have.

Seems all leaks have been sealed and no one has any insight into the future of their jobs or this pathetic company that profits off of human misery and disease/disease management. Interesting

rumblings that major organization activity will commmence this week

Or let me put it another way, any credible news on more cuts?

Anyone have any insight into ECS and layoffs? It’s been really weird with such little work available. Is AI being used covertly?

Got a bad feeling that phase 2 of Dan”s Secret Plan (DSP) will be unveiled tomorrow. Really hoping it’s not as bad as phase 1

Shortly before the FY2026 results will be announced on May 6th a global RA will hit all Northern European and north American teams. The scale of the RA will be unprecedented but is timed to address the disastrous financial results.

Fasten your seatbelts folks - this is the beginning of the end.

the volume of posts and replies on here rises like a tsunami

We can't go on like this forever. There has to be an end to layoffs. Are we supposed to stress over potentially losing our jobs for the rest of our working days?

Anyone else still just going to do the 3 days in and roll the dice and see what happens

I'm hoping we're at least safe for the rest of the month.

At least the month?

Does anyone have any updates from all CECs? Are we just waiting ducks? Or did we assume to soon about this week’s layoffs??

I am so confused about this week and how it will go. It’s sad that a company has everyone thinking the worse with just small changes. Smh

Monarch Tractor, an agricultural tech startup, faces an uncertain future. The company recently laid off nearly all its remaining staff. Its Livermore, California headquarters has been vacated and equipment auctioned. Monarch Tractor developed the MK-V, an electric autonomous smart tractor. The company had raised over $200 million and was valued highly less than two years ago.

3 team members and 1 upper management got layoff last week in Gentex. The reason was unclear but some say its because of it might have something to do with Gentex losing 42% of its stock value in 2 years. With the Iran, US and Israel war & tariffs, the future seems pretty uncertain as the stock keeps dipping.

That's torture. The stress never lets up. I'd take a few big and quick rounds over that any day.

I'm at the point where I'm dreading each Monday because I'm not sure what they'll drop on us. Will it be layoffs, loss in benefits, or whatever else they can think of to make our lives more miserable. God, I hate this place.

Is that a good thing? Or the calm before the storm?

If that happens to me personally, I'll consider myself a complete failure.

I've been job hunting for months. Calling the market "slim pickings" is generous, and it's only going to get worse. We're heading toward a place where beggars can't be choosers. Anything, anywhere, for any amount of time, will have to do.

I'm trying to stay positive, but it’s tough to picture things improving in any way without major changes. And I don't think we'll be seeing such changes any time soon, if ever.

Or is it just speculation?

Please share any updates.

It's been over a month since we were told there would be GT layoffs. How much longer do we need to complete this "rationalization"? Fu-k the spring holidays, just pull the ripcord and send the emails already.

Does anyone know the extent of layoffs that happened in the last few days? Was there any layoffs today also?

Different people are reporting differently. I’d appreciate if anyone has analyzed this and can share their findings. Someone is maintaining a running total from Slack (Thanks a ton!), and that says about 12,000 people were let go.

Terrible to hear about layoffs and see our coworkers let go. I hope this madness stops soon so we can focus on work. Tired of being on the edge for the last 6 months. Thanks!

YET?

Seeing LinkedIn goodbyes - what groups are getting cut this week?

From what I can see, this was a pretty limited round, which makes me more worried. Instead of feeling like it’s over, it just feels like the start of something that’s going to continue.

Can we say with certainty that everybody affected has been notified by now?

People saying ORX isn’t affected but more than 25 pharmacists were laid off. It’s unsettling.

Peak combo of constant crises and steady decline, with the daily expectation of joblessness.

I would otherwise be out without a second thought. I don't know what your experience is, but there are barely any jobs out there. I reached my peak burnout just as there are no options left. Well, I'll just tread water here until better times, trying not to go nuts from having to show up here every day.

It’s bad all the time. I mean if there is anything in particular not to look forward to?

Or when the next round will hit, or how many they think it makes sense to cut. Leadership overextended. AI is a black hole they all fell into, and now they're operating on pure sunk cost fallacy. They may end up shooting themselves in the leg to save the arm. Basically, anything can happen in the near future, and none of it will be good for us.

Maybe tomorrow can happen, by April 3rd it can happen? How many still pending.. How much percentage of Mexico gone?

Non-Core layoffs, who's actually been affected?
I'm a US-based remote employee in an SMBC Non-Core unit. I was certain I'd be laid off, but the axe hasn't fallen on me or several peers.
Is this a real stay of execution, or just a holding pattern before they sell us off?
