I heard there were several let go at the Gray TN site. Anyone know the number and which departments impacted today?

The entertainment giant is repurchasing $8 billion in stock while simultaneously implementing layoffs and stricter office policies. Recent workforce reductions have impacted various divisions, including marketing, ESPN, National Geographic, and Pixar. These cuts follow earlier layoffs and a pullback on remote work flexibility. The company is also offering early retirement buyouts to executives, signaling potential further job eliminations. This strategy contrasts with the company's historical reputation for employee loyalty.

Any truth to the rumors of major layoffs on the digital team?

Two concerns currently:

1. AI is super concerning after some of the news this week that it could eliminate the entire human race in 10 years.. don’t understand how the company can force it on us and constantly question how we are using it. Not comfortable with it in any aspect of my life.

2. Their rationing oil in the US at this point. The cost of an oil change is about to skyrocket. We won’t be able to afford to maintain our vehicles. Many top performers don’t live in a city where public transportation is an option when it gets to that point. Thank God, I only have one kid because the cost of daycare and an oil change in the same month means I don’t eat.

I don’t know what the best solution is, but in Office mandates has put a tremendous amount of stress on the workforce - America and the American companies are failing their people who are truly trying to push forward through some very challenging circumstances.

Everyone knows that RV is all about replacing American workers. Here’s the factual numbers that prove it.

Number of employees - 47,097

US employees - 19,187
Non US employees - 27,910

Of those non US employees , India specifically equals 15,925

42 unionized jobs no longer?

I've been thinking about how the layof pool actually gets selected...my guess is it goes something like this, roughly in this order. Would you agree? Am I off on the sequence or missing a category? Reply with what you've actually seen so we can get closer to understanding the process...

• HR offenders/issues AKA "problems"
• Low performers
• Duplicate/redundant positions
• Remote employees
• High-cost employees
• Teams/functions being consolidated
• Employees on canceled/deprioritized projects
• Overlapping management positions
• Low direct report count management
• Recent hires in areas that over-hired
• Random employees to meet the headcount quota

Is there a way to know how many were cut just in the US?

Oracle is providing laid-off US employees with four weeks of severance pay. This includes an additional week for every year of service. Previous reports indicated a maximum severance cap of 26 weeks. This package appears less generous than those offered by other major tech companies. The company recently initiated another round of workforce reductions.

Are they usually in the morning or any time of day?

Well the Fall layoff has begun!

CSX announces cuts across the system, several locations, mostly BMWE track forces. UP will cut track workers after the merger with NS.
Just saying

Some crude Math - if $1.8B was ~21000, the new $700M should be around 8100 people. Looks like ~3000 in the US today so far...

Not sure when exactly, so if you know more, please share.

Are only PIPs used to reduce workforce?

How many are still expected to be laid off? Is there a number? Any indication that we might be nearing the end?

Layoffs could still be coming. In fact, they most likely are. Make sure you're ready for it.

You can see where this is headed. US employees will be obsolete

The Ontario Science Centre has eliminated 30 positions, including its entire science department, in a significant restructuring. These layoffs represent an 18% reduction in the unionized workforce and erase over 540 combined years of service. The organization stated that science expertise will be integrated across remaining departments rather than isolated. This move comes as the centre operates from interim locations while awaiting a new facility at Ontario Place. Critics question the future of a science centre without dedicated science staff.

VP for our org is based in India and has used these layoffs as pretext to totally decimate US employees.

He treats few remaining US employees as contractors and not part of his team.

IDC employees as "us" and US employees as "them" .

The product was incepted by the US employees when the VP never existed and slowly over time most of the US employees have been laid with systemic knowledge transfer.

Now the product has become a Sh-t show.

I'm praying for layoffs to happen. Never thought this day would come, but it did. I just need this to be over.

Good Luck!

If the company were to announce any year-end workforce reductions or restructurings, could anyone clarify what the typical timeline looks like?

Specifically around

Notice Period: How far in advance are affected individuals/teams generally notified prior to an official announcement

Offboarding Timeline: After an announcement is made, what is the typical length of time employees remain active on payroll
