Mexico done.

More layoffs at end of March 2026 after a previous round earlier this year. After being told no more layoffs, thee were apparently still more needed. Approximately 35-40 invited to a conference call and let go effective same day, and many with substantial years of service. I do know of at least 1 other person from another department that was not included in my group, but was laid off, so not really sure just how many were actually laid off company-wide in this round. A reason in the separation paperwork I received was that the company was going to be moving more work offshore - assuming to India like the other jobs offshored in the past. Perhaps not everyone's reason, but that's what my paperwork mentioned.

I see some groups had engineering cut heavily. This is typically a very bad sign especially when the 'process' professionals who mostly bring no value and simply get in the way of innovation (at this company) remained unscathed. The budget cut requirements could have been serviced by dealing with those groups while giving innovation in engineering a chance going forward. There was a belief this was a Mark B. policy but clearly that is not the case as this goes right to the board and IS the business model. Time to accept that.

Performance based. Attainment and manager reviews. Some teams will lose more than others. Most managers were sent a list of 2-3 “qualifying reps.” Were able to use some discretion with who they selected from that list, based on their required reduction. Ie. Maybe 3 names were provided but they only had to choose 1. But higher ups have final say. March 31 is confirmed happening in USA. Very stressful week. Not every team will have to cut.

Meta, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is continuing to shrink its workforce, like many of its peers in the tech industry. After laying off hundreds of employees earlier this week, a leaked document revealed the tech giant’s bizarre plan for several of its remaining staff as it shifts in a new direction.

The new AI visit tool is effectively handling much of the DL's workload. As a result, we could expand the number of stores per district, and downsize the number of DLs in the FS by at least one or two per region. The payroll savings from this reduction could be reinvested into increasing hours in the FS, where actual customer-facing work occurs.

ExxonMobil will be a case study for how not to do strategic workforce planning. All of the HR Talent management programs are being put together to deliver the lowest cost organization for the long term which is very different to an organization that can continue to deliver. Give it 5years and the organization will be unable to deliver. The HR Leadership team don’t realize the impact of losing our friends in Canada, Australia, UK, Malaysia, Europe and there’s more to come. India is the future but not going to deliver what the organization needs or wants. BIg bet is a gamble for the future. Get our now

I've been watching the number closely, and it had been going up, but as of Saturday 3/28, 6:40 AM - down to 165,527. Around 1600 people less than the last time I looked.

Buckle up - maybe Tuesday the 31st is really the day.

Have most regions already started to get rid of the BCR role? Our facility is one of three that have not switched in our state yet, but it is coming sometime this year I heard.

Same pattern as before. Layoffs started in Mexico, then move to USA/IDC the following week.

This week, layoffs in Mexico happened on 3/25 and 3/26, cutting about 15.46% of the workforce.

This round seems larger than before since it took two days to complete.

If you want to verify, check the not-mdc-social channel. You can see the dates, pattern, and posts from people affected. Also compare with the previous layoff pattern across Mexico, IDC, and USA.

Let me know if your data shows something different.

I just had a candid conversation with band 5 director offline. They said no on-shore hiring at all, first look for HIH if you can't find there, then contract one of the vendors. Some of the vendors already moved to fixed bid and to provide unlimited resources, i.e. whether you get 5 contractors or 10, the pay will be set once, fixed. The goal is not 70 HIH and 30 On shore, it's way less, only select managers will be around supervising HIH - When are we going to stop this? do we even have a government that cares about American workers anymore.

Realistically they keep doing this on and on and surely they will have to stop doing this eventually I am not seeing the end game here. Soon no one will want to join and you will have ki-led off most of the workforce?

They may no longer be obligated to WARN in those states locations with 50+ employees, so VZ won't have to pay the additional money to keep them around doing nothing for a extra 30 or 60 days. It makes it cheaper to do layoffs after this is done, harder to count and trigger the thresholds.

We have 9k staff at GT right now. Will the cuts be 500, 1,000, or 2,000?

This isn't ending anytime soon. They've been cutting consistently through the last several years and that seems to have turned into a business strategy. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. If numbers need to look better, why bother with trying to come up with something long-term and business related when you can simply cut people and have it all align nicely on that spreadsheet?

I can think of three rounds that consisted of more than just a few people. Am I missing anything?

2013 120,000
2012 115,000

With the constant cuts, how the he-l do we have more employees than almost ever before?

Anyone else hearing of a layoff tomorrow
