Cognizant plans to lay off 10-20% of their USA workforce in the next 6 - 8 weeks. They are forcing every business unit — Even profitable revenue generating ones — to cut their workforce to move over to India or bring in lower level talent. HR was blind-sided by this and has very little info so it’s clearly coming from Ravi or Surya. They are trying everything to get the stock back up, so why not blindside the workforce right after being named a great place to work. Yeah right.

Lots of foreigners (Americans, Indians, Malaysians) under the guise of “specialty skills” Canadians can’t apparently perform in their customs letter. All lies! Folks forced to signing these bogus letters to allow these foreigners through and steal OUR jobs.

It’s not that Canadians can’t perform these jobs, but that the company doesn’t want to hire or have laid off Canadians that used to do the same job.

Companies like Imoerial should be taxed more. They’ve taken jobs from tax paying Canadians.

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern: when full-time employees in my role leave, they’re almost always replaced with contractors rather than new permanent hires. That shift feels telling. It suggests that Truist may no longer see this position as a long-term investment, instead opting for the lower cost and reduced obligations that come with contract workers. No benefits, no paid time off, and a built-in exit after a fixed term.

This wasn’t always the case. Historically, Truist staffed this role with full-time employees, which reflected a different level of commitment. What makes the change even more striking is that a closely related job family within the same organization continues to be filled exclusively with permanent hires. The contrast highlights a clear shift in priorities: one job family appears to be viewed as strategically important for the long term, while the other, despite having the same pay grades, is treated as more temporary or expendable.

We are realigning Professional Services to ensure our structure and staffing align with current and forecasted customer demand and expectations As part of this change, up to 40 positions across Professional Services may be eliminated These actions are not a result of the pending NEC acquisition.

As part of this realignment, up to 40 Professional Services roles within the Solution Delivery, Ascendon Delivery, and MS/Delivery Enablement teams may be eliminated

Nickle LaMoreaux, chief human resources officer at IBM, discusses how the company is reimagining HR and the broader workforce through the lens of AI and experience-driven strategy.

April 16 (Reuters) - "More than 500 CVS Health (CVS.N), opens new tab drivers and warehouse workers at the healthcare conglomerate's Fredericksburg, Virginia distribution ​center have voted to authorize a strike on ‌May 1, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters said on Thursday."

Just curious if anyone knows how many people have already been let go this year, and what they're trying to reduce down to. If you take all hGP and hWP combined at the start it was around 27k people, right?

Fact's -

The Fed under Chairman Jerome Powell since January 2026 has printed an additional $125.0 Billion in currency to prop-up the U.S. economic-financial system.

Fed money printing over time since 2009 does add to the (current) U.S. National debt of $39.1 Trillion (and rising) with a (current) debt-to-GDP ratio of 124.87% (and rising).

Note - The U.S. taxpayer pays the Interest on the U.S. National debt (each year) to other Investors that finance it (U.S. based, Japan; China; etc.).

Interest paid on the U.S. National debt (just surpassed $1.02 Trillion a year per usdebtclock).

To think that the Unemployment rate approaching 15.0% through AI workforce disruption through 2027 (at least) wouldn't cause (Very significant) damage to the U.S. economy is ludicrous.

It (actually) easily could.

These are the facts.

Laying of 10% of the workforce will boost the company stock. Ford has too much waste in their workforce.

I’ve heard that another wave is expected in the next two quarters. Seems it’s being done in batches???

I have heard that 20% of NTWs will be rolled off by 5th May. Is it true? Are they coming back to full timers again after this? When will be the end?

Anyone else hearing how big an impact today's layoff is/was? I know of at least 2 managers in the call center that were given 30 day notice today and were told there were a lot of others as well.

The US technology group IBM has begun a new round of job cuts in Bratislava, with hundreds of roles at risk as the company continues to scale back its workforce in Slovakia.

Slovakia’s labour office has recorded a planned reduction of 439 positions in the business services sector following a notification submitted in mid-March.

When do the layoff meeting requests start coming in? I'm hoping today is the day!

Just got off the phone with my AD and I was told April 23rd there will be a 10% RIF across all departments within Verizon. They are going after highest paid workers now NOT based on your PAD or time served in the company. My AD wanted me to help develop a plan to put into play with the reduced staff starting May 24th.

Half of the team size? This is endless.

Mate, the skunk work just blew up in our face but exposed why we will have prod dev and prod dev test layoffs going into next FY. G2 Happy shoes tapped to reduce 15% across his org

Are random layoffs still ongoing? I’ve noticed a few people randomly disappearing this last week.

Ideas??? Who is on the chopping block??

In IL only 5 offices will be left. I cannot say which 5.
Customer Service has 3 waves, that will last to end of Q3.
All other states, likely main HQ will remain.

Rumors floating of 15-25% layoff coming.

this has to be some reality show at this point, where are the cameras? All you can do is laugh. Who in their right mind will voluntarily raise their hand to be terminated… only to find out volunteering yourself does not gurantee termination. They just did layoffs not even 6 months ago and now this. I would rather them come out and say they are going bankrupt because this is just comical.

Can I nominate someone else? A few names popped into my head when I read about this.

This is a legitimate concern I have. If they are going through these great of lengths to HUB employees, the employees who they pride themselves on wanting, what does that mean on what’s next for remote workforce?
It seems each month something gets worse and the bank just took a large swing of the bat at its prized hub population.
