I wanted to check if any positions got impacted by layoffs this month. I heard a few roles were affected here and there, but I'm not sure of the exact count.

@tf not sure what department you are in but ive consistently observed the opposite -- people going above and beyond their job title to get the work done.
Coworkers are laziest lot I have seen working in multiple companies. They will take a sprint for basic stuff that an intern could do in hours. Lazy culture with lack of ownership!
Confirming that 'roles' were eliminated in parts of the company.
Actually mother mutual stopped layoff after 2018. They are in a mission to push fulltime employees out by PIP's or forced resignation. Mother mutual wants to save the severance payouts to buy real estates and make money out of it.
@e9 NM thrives from being one of the few large companies in an otherwise mediocre job market in Milwaukee. NM used to (pretend to) pride itself on being a tech hub for the city and trying to help the city's tech ecosystem grow, but all it does now is buy vendor tools instead of building, and lay off local long-term FTEs for temp contractors and H1B's. Mother mutual only has had significance when compared to the other options
I am a lurker after getting laid off months ago, and LinkedIn is a layoff party this week. I'm seeing tons of engineers from other top Wisconsin companies announcing their layoffs right now, so it wouldn't surprise me if all the companies are doing a downsizing speed-run this month.
@ec I dont think it is just the citizens that got impacted. I know some people who are not citizen's got laid off too.
Inefficient, underperforming H1b's are layoff proof. Why do they layoff only US citizen? Its time to report to DOL.
What happened to mother mutual? I get things needed to be changed but...... this.... constant layoffs. Why would anyone want to work for a company like that?
