Do we have an idea of timing for this “leaner workforce”? Will it be slow throughout the year or a big hit in January?

Oshkosh Corporation to Lay Off 160 Plant Workers

Oshkosh Corporation plans to lay off employees. A total of 160 plant workers are set to be affected. The layoffs impact production areas at the Oregon Street plant in Oshkosh. The company reported a $52.8 million decline in third-quarter sales. Union leadership also cited the loss of a military contract and USPS truck production in South Carolina.

According to Volvo Group North America, the Hagerstown plant will be laying off 97 production technicians, effective January 5th. The plant, Volvo said in a statement, is adjusting “staffing to reflect ongoing weakness in the North American truck market.”

Amazon is laying off 370 employees at its European headquarters.

These cuts represent about 8.5 percent of the workforce at that location. The layoffs primarily affect software developers as AI increasingly handles coding tasks. Amazon cited "business needs and local strategies" as the reason for these adjustments. This move follows broader company-wide workforce reductions and a deeper embrace of AI.

Looking back, it seems that fewer people were cut this year compared to recent ones. Yes, there were layoffs, but not as many as last and previous years. Curious if others are seeing the same thing.

Any insight to rifs being talked about on Dec 16 or Dec 18? What parts of wellmed will be affected?

Don’t teams need a minimum of six? On my site many are down to four and many of the ones that aren’t they are having managers plan to cut down to that. This is in research. When will managers get cut? Didn’t see any in last round get cut and none through PIP either

Discussing a 10% workforce reduction in non-client-facing departments.

• Whatever goes around comes around - "It's the kind of advice the firm might offer one of its clients, and comes after headcount exploded between 2012 (17,000) and today (40,000). " Enough said !!
• "The advisory model is dying - consultancies would increasingly need to underwrite outcomes rather than bill hours" .. Duh !

Chubb plans to cut workforce massively thanks to automation. Is AIG going to follow? We have cut a lot already but automation isn't our cup of tea for now, let's be real. Can we compete in the market with our present level of costs? I wish good luck and happy Christmas to everyone, I hope 2026 will be ok.

“Win Now” assumes a stable foundation. Many here question whether the organization is repairable, and others note it has yet to stabilize. Since the comeback strategy began, repeated executive turnover and workforce reductions make the end state hard to understand.

When integrity feels absent, professionals have to anchor to personal values—knowing when to stay, help, or move on without bitterness. The harder question is why so many remain while clearly unhappy.

If anyone has firsthand layoff experience or concrete insight that could help others make informed career decisions, it would be valuable. Merry Christmas.

These workforce cuts are creating a deeper problem that isn't being discussed. We haven't been attracting top-tier talent for a long time because the word is out about how things work here. By letting some of our most capable people go and filling spots with unprepared new hires, PepsoCo is slowly dismantling its own future.

I guess I was wrong.

Tennessee is projected to see more than 8,500 layoffs in 2025, nearly a 19% increase compared to 2024. The forecast points to a growing trend of job cuts statewide, without naming any specific companies. Instead, it highlights a broader impact on Tennessee’s employment landscape.

This needs to be stop.

Can you be more transparent and honest?

Just asking.

I have been with Nike for a bit longer than 2 years. If I recall correctly, the rolling layoffs started just 3 months after I arrived at Nike! Since then, I have lost so many senior colleagues including a 10-year veteran , 18-year veteran and some one with 8 years at Nike. A handful of them also resigned.... I am constantly worried for my job security and if I have a job tomorrow. I am breadwinner with a mortgage....I don't know how much I could keep it together

That’s what we’re looking at from now on.

What is the estimated or projected number of lay offs for 2026?

there are layoffs every year usually before end of q1 and early q4 before the US holidays. q1 layoffs are always to tighten budgets after year end numbers and jan month end numbers. this year obviously layoffs are much more than just that but expect additional tightening before end of march next year

Bumping this for info from @rp+1kbwqk6k3.

Stagflation -

Dr-g developer Rezolute is considering potential layoffs. This decision follows the recent failure of a late-stage clinical trial. The article does not specify the number of employees targeted for these reductions. No details are provided regarding the specific departments or roles that will be affected. The company's strategic evaluation of its workforce is a direct result of the clinical trial's unsuccessful outcome.

Expect to see the recently reported forever layoff model. This is a persistent, all year method for layoffs where they happen in artisanal small batch format to prevent investors from getting alarmed.

Large companies do the showy layoff where they announce large layoffs then hire the same or greater number with h1b or offshore. Thus keeping the same headcount to keep from alarming investors.

Which groups were impacted and locations?

We know so little about what’s actually happening. The rumors are endless, and I’ve heard from several people that most cuts will wrap up by Friday, with a few lingering into Monday. But I honestly have no idea if that’s true.

They do only if you care exclusively about the short-term bottom line. We’ve been losing good people and destroying well-established and efficient teams. And it doesn’t really matter that it’s happening right before Christmas. That fact just makes the greed, incompetence, carelessness, and disregard even more jarring.

ConocoPhillips has laid off 10 to 12.5% of its North Slope workforce, the company confirmed Tuesday, as employees at three oil fields move to form a union.

Two hundred forty-three ConocoPhillips employees at the Kuparuk, Alpine and Willow fields have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to join United Steelworkers, citing recent staffing changes that organizers say threaten employee safety and reduced pay.

According to the organizers’ website a confidential organizing campaign has been underway for months.
