Since CGI layoffs are underway, anyone know what they're offering for severance pay depending on years of service?
Never mind that the CEO told the press in February that the company did not plan any layoffs, that on the contrary they wanted to take the opportunity to hire people...
2026 It’s been a tough few months at CGI.
Many people across Canada — including senior leaders, VPs, directors, and long‑tenured employees — have been impacted by recent layoffs. It’s difficult to see so many experienced colleagues suddenly affected, especially in an organization that has historically been known for stability.
These changes have raised real concerns about the company’s direction, performance, and the overall state of leadership. Morale has taken a hit, and many employees are feeling uncertain about the future.
In times like this, it’s important to support one another, share opportunities, and help those impacted land on their feet. If you know someone who has been affected, reach out. If you’re hiring, consider giving these talented professionals a chance.
Challenging moments can also be turning points — for individuals and for organizations. Let’s hope CGI finds a clearer path forward, and in the meantime, let’s stand by the people navigating this transition.
I was at CGI Technologies in USA. Laid off 02/2023. Had been there perm 18 months.
Got four weeks of severance. Had to sign for it not to sue. They took taxes out of it.
It has to be signed after my last day of work and not before.
Which departments layoffs are happening ?
I was told you got 2 weeks for every year worked, capped at 8 weeks. I was capped at 8 weeks. There's no guarantee in the states for severance and fighting it is futile.
i just got laid off, i worked there for almost 3 years, so i got 3 weeks severance. But, i believe if this is a mass layoff, we are entitled to a higher severance
Where's layoffs happening @ CGI?
