For those being here for many years, was there a cap on severance (#weeks paid per yr)?

Are there layoffs happening right now or are people talking about cuts that already happened last week and last month?

Anyone can confirm that when impacted, you remain on payroll 60 days and then two weeks per year for severance? Seeming like things have changed over recent years, looking for confirmation since seems like these layoff rounds will be the norm for a... — read more 

My SVP has about 600 directs. There are way more senior directors and managers than actual employees who do ALL the work. I’m not exaggerating. I’ve just spent an hour on teams browsing the organizational structure and I’m in shock. Only the... — read more 

Is that a possibility?

Anyone have knowledge if next round will take place during earnings week again? (If so, we're looking at the last week of January.) I know next wave is supposed to be similar in size to July's. I've started to look for jobs now, but trying to... — read more 

Record profits. Billions in buybacks. Wall Street applause. And on the ground? A culture running entirely on fear, silence, and institutional burnout. Question a flawed strategic decision, push back on an impossible deadline, or bring real... — read more 

The cuts keep coming, and I no longer believe the reassurances we're given. At this point, another promise that things will settle down doesn't mean much to me. I'll be looking for a way out any way I can just to get away from this mess.

Are impacted employees taking severance in Foster City eligible to apply for California unemployment benefits? If yes, how soon should we apply for it? After the 2 month period when actual termination happens?

Feels unreal to me. How long will these layoffs last? This is crazy, what’s happening.

It feels worse than I expected, to be honest. I'm petrified, considering how bad the job market is. The severance doesn't seem enough considering how low everybody's chances are at finding something new any time soon. Good luck to the rest of you... — read more 

Use this thread to post what you learn about layoffs today (orgs, levels, offices, severance, etc.)

I spent years building my reputation as a strong employee, with nothing negative on my record, only for things to go completely downhill under the newer management in my group. I've been experiencing threatening and retaliatory behavior, and it's... — read more 

I've heard some talk about changes coming this week? The comments below seem to also push that direction? Does anyone here have any indications with any sort of clarity they know what they are talking about or is this just people speculating?

Buckle up.

I was given a pip this october. How long till I get fired

Heard from grapevine that between Oct to Feb, another round of axing going to happen across the board. How true is this?

I see several LinkedIn posts about getting machete as of Oct 1

Performance layoffs seem to have started. Some are getting NS but is there really a layoff this October?

My coworker has given the same standup update for four weeks: "No updates" Either he's on the layoff list or he's about to be promoted to Principal. HR is flipping a coin.

What are his chances of actually making it without getting fired at the end?

Department mergers are ongoing. They’re planning to remove “duplicate” positions—basically transferring one team’s responsibilities fully to another, with no pay rise. One VAS team was recently absorbed by Sales and Operations: about 100 people... — read more 

Is it going be mandatory performance cuts in October like Meta or do we wait until winter? Ryan’s message indicated it will be in the “coming years and quarters”, which implies one’s definitely happening between now and next summer.

I don't understand the hold Rajat has on Ryan and the board, it's like the old fable The Emperor's New Clothes, our senior IT Joe parading around that AI is going to save the world, that the OpenVisaNet project is going to finally replace the... — read more 

Not knowing is stressing me out.

VATC is such a joke, my prediction is Visa will rollback on their layoffs and try to hire back alot of people next year after they realize the tool is a complete failure and waste of time and money and literally has caused incidents to shoot... — read more 

Got confirmation of October layoffs today in my org. Anyone else? Trying to see how big this one will be...

Are all remote workers eventually going to be let go regardless on performance?

20% cuts in product and tech, will the admin functions get a worse round? Typical industry layoffs cut admin workers twice as much as ops. Are we looking at a major reorg for everyone outside sales/prod/tech in Q1 FY27?

Did they announce who is being let go in Warsaw office?

No really, why don’t we start a union at Visa?

What did everyone think about Ryan saying layoffs are now part of the “new normal” and to expect them going forward?

They could have added a zero to the six and nobody would have batted an eye. We have so many completely useless VPs who are somehow always safe. Not hard to figure out why. (hint: nepotism/cronyism)

Wondering what’s involved?

Went through the CA EDD WARN report for Visa's recent notices. The filing from 7/31/26 covering the ~320 positions is listed as Foster City, CA I haven't found a single WARN entry naming Mission Rock in San Francisco. Anyone in SF seeing a different... — read more
