There are no roles that can’t be back filled so why not take volunteers to assist in the mission of reducing workforce. Many would take it and be gone already.

KC site to layoff ~150 employees over the next 3 years. This is roughly 1/3 of the site. Any more specific news?

Your leaders are training AI to replace them.

There’s been about 1,500 let go in the first two rounds So if the “2000 employees by end of February” is accurate, then yes, there will be more.
OP: @ar+1kj82pds4

Will be communicated through unions and worker councils depending on local laws. That's what I heard but do not know how the numbers break down.

This is major news Honeywell. Company is going role by role and assessing the roles in new company.

If you were laid off, could you please state the area you were laid off from and your role or grade level. Just want people to keep informed.

I don’t know specifics, but Optum Learn experienced a RIF today.

Team I'm on is mandating AT LEAST 50 PERCENT OF ALL NEW CODE be generated using copilot. No longer "use copilot to work faster" but now "replace your development skills with copilot". I do not doubt, FIS will be rolling this out to ALL of development over time

If there were any doubts that FIS was taking the path of using AI to reduce workforce, well. That seems to be EXACTLY where were headed

Can't wait for the brain and skill rot from forced use of copilot to bite them in the a-s

Executives are coming for our jobs and we have to come together to stop it. We need a white collar union!

NP here. Me and 3 others laid off this morning.

My account manager told us a new round of wfrs are coming down the pipe. I wish our shared service manager would stop being such a brown noser and stand up for his people. You no who you are and thanks for telling me abut this site

I'm seeing people report layoffs all over the place.

Roche is currently undergoing a significant global restructuring of its Roche Digital Technology (RDT) organization (former Roche global IT). Under the leadership of Wafaa Mamili, the company is centralizing operations through a new technology hub in Hyderabad, India. While total headcount is projected to grow globally, this strategy involves substantial workforce reductions at key sites, including Basel, Mississauga, South San Francisco, Mannheim, Costa Rica and more.
These transitions, which also include the departure of high-level and high-performing specialists and long-term contributors, are expected to continue throughout 2026 in accordance with local labor regulations and social plans. It may no longer be a "great place to work" especially for IT specialists.

With AI coming, should engineers unionize? I believe upper management is going to continue to squeeze engineers and with knowledge worker tasks being transferred to AI agents... it makes the work of an engineer procedural rather than design. That's very much like factory work.

I don't see any other way to spread the wealth. The alternative feels like "to get squeezed".
