Please don't let yourself get lulled into a false sense of security. This is far from over. This round is maybe done - and that's a big maybe - but I'll bet you we'll be seeing many more in the coming months. The fact is we have lousy leadership and... — read more 

Finally everything settles and hopefully that is it. Wish the ones impacted find better opportunities soon and ones staying in Corning have a calm and safe year 2024

hello, would you be able to post a recap of the townhall? Also would you be able to recap the layoffs? Was it 1,500 global? How many in Valley? Are they coming for union workers next? Erwin?

What do we know about more layoffs today?

Anyone hear about the rumor WW is retiring and hq will be relocated to North Carolina ?

What happened in the end?

Folks, it's here. Use this thread to add the news, if you hear any. Best of luck to everyone.

This forum as I interpret it is to bring information surrounding layoffs to the groups attention. I agree that future work, R&D & IP should not be discussed. And please be civil, we all know someone or could be that someone who will be affected.

Whether you are happy with Corning not, we all have friends who work here and want to keep working here. We probably shouldn't use this forum to comment on specific business technologies that we think are good/bad. Let's stick to bashing management... — read more

Corning I joined no longer exists. It is now a completely different company with a completely different culture. Things have turned too political and toxic for my taste. I would lie if I said that getting severance to leave doesn't sound tempting at... — read more 

Do you predict that there will be Corning layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I am hearing from multiple secondary sources that massive cuts (around 20%) will be coming to Sullivan Park and downtown mid-January . The stories are consistent, so I think they have merit. These substantial cuts will be part of a reorganization... — read more

Are we expecting some cuts after Q3 call?

Do we have any idea how post-Q3 is going to be? Any potential leads on future cuts? Should we start working out on resume for a new job? Let us know!!

I just heard that a few weeks ago there were more significant layoffs in the Wilmington & Concord plants. Anyone else heard this or know anything? With Q3 just ending, what are everyone's expectations for the next couple of weeks?

My spouse was laid off from Optical Communications in Wilmington, NC on 6/27, after working nearly two decades for Corning. A 5% layoff had been previously announced (internally) but was not mentioned in the Q2 press release on 7/25.

Anyone care to chime in here with the layoffs next week after the Q2 call?

We've heard of some layoffs coming in fiber, but apparently also a couple of rooms at SP were reserved for layoffs, and also in other groups/divisions?

Despite layoffs between 5% - 45% depending on division, hiring freezes, no raises (after raises so bad last year managers got 'talking points') ... it has come to light that the LTI raises (only for higher $$ individuals/managers/leaders) are still... — read more
