The Social Security Administration is undergoing significant workforce reductions. Over 7,000 jobs, representing 12-13% of its staff, are being eliminated. This restructuring is part of federal cost-cutting initiatives. Lawmakers and advocates express concerns about potential service delays for millions. Critics argue these cuts are weakening the system and worsening backlogs. The SSA maintains these changes will modernize service delivery and improve efficiency.

They're either being laid off or pressured to quit. I don't know what an advantage of getting rid of the best part of your workforce could be either in the short or the long run. Shouldn't we be making sure they remain here? Isn't that what a good company would be doing?

35% reduction for VCG, notifying in July
OP: @an+1kt4wbswz

Just had manager discussion and was notified last day will be July 2. Normal cr-ppy US severance of 3 months. Went through the normal we're not picking people because of age and the 3 others RA'd in a small team were all of 45. One people was listed who is not being RA'd in that same age range... so, definitely older, more expensive people are being targeted.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• may01-may31: 2241 reductions, and 942 additions

• aug01-aug14: ?2900 reductions in IDC (based on media reports)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

What is called "layoff estimates" are partially part of normal attrition, limitations are covered in details in comments.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

Many companies rushed to replace employees with AI, but the reality is that advanced AI tools like Claude and others can become expensive at scale and still require human oversight. It wouldn't be surprising if organizations start correcting course and increase hiring again. The best results often come from AI assisting employees, not completely replacing them. The next few years may see many companies finding a better balance between technology and human talent.

Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters is facing backlash after telling reporters the bank plans to replace "lower value human capital" with AI.

The phrase immediately sparked criticism, with many interpreting it as a reference to employees whose jobs may be automated. While Winters later apologized and said he was referring to workplace transformation rather than the value of workers, the comment has continued to circulate widely on social media.

The controversy highlights a growing tension across industries as companies accelerate AI adoption. Workers are increasingly concerned that executives view AI primarily as a cost-cutting tool, while leaders argue that automation will improve efficiency and reshape job responsibilities.

Regardless of intent, the phrase "lower value human capital" struck a nerve. For many employees already worried about AI-driven job displacement, hearing senior leadership discuss workforce changes in those terms reinforces concerns about how companies view their people.

As banks and other large employers continue investing heavily in AI, expect greater scrutiny of both workforce reduction plans and the language executives use when discussing them.

Was this simply a poor choice of words, or an honest glimpse into how some executives view employees in the AI era?

Anyone know if there will be new layoff rounds in June? Hearing rumors that layoffs could become a quarterly occurrence. Any insight on whether there might be cuts next week, and if they would be concentrated in STS or spread across multiple organizations?

What’s the latest buzz about the apparent mass SC exodus in EMEA?

Is this another round of layoffs, or is it simply frustration finally boiling over under the always-smiling RL? Rumor has it that a few feathers were ruffled during a recent partner roadshow in India, along with some interesting interactions involving colleagues along the way.

What’s particularly intriguing is that there don’t seem to be many people left to let go anyway. Most have either already left or are quietly waiting for a generous severance package so they can move on happily.

At this point, it feels less like a workforce strategy and more like a waiting game for employees and a losing game for Appian.
