#cuts

Everyone watched it yet? 20-25% through 2026.

largest layoff in FIS history. Directors, Senior directors, grunts like me, etc... maddening.

Which areas?

Sep 02 layoffs estimate for the 24 hours: 3430 jobs lost

Methodology: $general slack channel participants count change. So those are people who lost access right away.

Can anyone confirm if the goal is to reduce the work force to around 30k employees? That would mean a major layoff compared to the current staff size. I came across a comment about this and wanted to see if anyone senior here can confirm this information

Have heard multiple reports within ISG at least of folks having 1x1 meetings put on their calendar last minute for today. Hope it’s not too large of a group this time around. 2H budgets must be tight

..so when exactly would the plug be pulled for the rest of this division, as we all know there is going to be a shift to partners?
Some say end October/Start of November? What are you hearing?

These layoffs are consistent with Oracle's business model. That is to say:

1. Acquire technology/companies
2. Titrate down all investment in that product's innovation, engineering/dev, support
3. Milk the support stream (possible since the customers are now "over the Oracle barrel")
4. Discard the dessicated corpse.
5. Rinse, repeat

Given this model there is no such thing as too many reductions.

Questions?

All the layoffs currently happening are outside of the U.S., right? I was under the impression we'd be safe at least for a while before we're hit again. Was I wrong?

Almost every holiday weekends, executives start showing up talking to top management on numbers - likely they preparing for cuts and organization changes.

JPMorgan Chase, which reported $15 billion in profit last quarter, is cutting 99 jobs in San Francisco even as it expands its presence downtown.

The bank disclosed the layoffs in an Aug. 27 filing with the state of California.

Tomorrow or next week?

Jeff hates costs and his employees, and he's all out of cost cuts.

Sam Burd is 100% sidelined, only kept on salary so he won't bolt for Lenovo or HPE.

Rumors are Jeff and cronies are laying out a massive downscale and will hit in Q1.

I’m committed to ensuring compassionate support for our colleagues who will be leaving the company as decisions are made - JR

What decisions and who is the axe coming for?

259 ISP’s. Not exactly the “100” ISP’s they told us to expect. For those who said yeah but they said it would be 100 “roles”. BS. That was just corporate speak to disguise the real numbers. If they are so transparent, how come they didn’t publish the number of demotions??? From this thread, it seems like there have been quite a few… Yet another way to disguise the numbers.

Do FTEs get severance if they’re laid off while on a PIP or Warning?

258 roles closed from vsp and 259 got isp
I'm not a math genius but that's 517. Six months of me in panic wondering how both me and my wife who worked here until she just found a new role would pan out to feed 3 kids for 517 roles??????
This place is ran by id--ts.

Does this mean layoffs are completed for Mike Sicilia’s org or could we possible have more layoffs until town hall?

looking to cut workers pad thier bonuses

Volunteering won't do it. The defiant nature of the leaders here will just give you more work, laugh at you struggle, and will try to make you quit.

You have to put yourself on the chopping block by simply reporting your manager to Employee Relations. They will take the side of your supervisor, BUT you are a target now. A person who doesn't go with the flow, and can potentially expose them. Therefore, becoming a financiql liability and a source to empower others.

I guarantee you will be on the next list.

This is the next meeting where they talk about the new portfolio model and yet, there is no info on what the structure will actually be. Will we be notified only on 9/3 if our leaders were let go?? The layoffs on 9/3 and the portfolio model must surely be the same thing?

Go ahead and sign so they know who the disgruntled people are and can put the sc--ws on you harder. The goal has not changed and the goal is still to get rid of as many people as possible without having to pay ANY severance. Even if you sign you can be terminated before a layoff is approved. If you have been keeping up on the layoffs/mass firing of federal government workers then you are up to date on what's about to go down.

Is anyone else just holding their breath until next week’s layoffs? This past month has been one of the toughest I can remember. As a Director, I couldn’t even enjoy my holidays this month.
I keep putting on a brave face for my family and my team, while feeling the stress build up inside. In 15 years with this company, I don’t think I’ve ever felt pressure like this.

It’s pretty clear leadership isn’t thinking beyond the next quarterly report. The long-term impact of shedding talent, experience, and skill doesn’t seem to matter at all. No matter how well or poorly a company is doing, there are always cuts, so there’s more money for the people at the top. Leadership doesn’t care about efficiency. They care about the bottom line, right here, right now.

Does anyone know? We’ve been stuck in a constant guessing game for weeks now.

Dexcom, the San Diego-based maker of continuous glucose monitors for diabetes patients and prediabetics, announced Wednesday that it is laying off around 350 workers, or 3% of its global workforce. Most of these reductions, or 196 people, are in San Diego, and of those, 134 are in operations and manufacturing.

Could you please clarify which level of management is informed in advance about upcoming layoffs within their teams?

On reddit it was just mentioned that QAs will be impacted on Sept Anybody know which org?

RIFs are occurring across multiple areas today..CCB and CIB

Around 15 employees, including someone holding a managerial position, were laid off at Freeport, IL, USA

How many frac crews have been put down this year?

Have they been cutting in other PSL's yet?

Not sure why I still waste energy worrying about layoffs. They're basically a given at this point. Leadership made it clear - more cuts and “savings” are coming through the end of the year. That means stay ready, keep some savings if you can, and always have an eye out for other options.
No point in stressing, it's out of our hands.

It’s increasingly unclear what’s happening within Moulis’ former organization in OT. There’s been little to no communication about the long-term plan, while people keep leaving or being let go. Rumors of another reorg continue but with no transparency on timing or impact. Leadership — including the new VP — has not provided clarity or support. Does anyone have additional insight on this?

I work for WellMed. We are now under Optum, it's been about a month. I was told with this transition, they will be making cuts immediately as soon as next week. A lot of people dont know this is gonna happen so i know its going to shake people up (rightfully so). Its very unsettling the amount of layoffs the entire organization goes through every year. I've only been here for 7 years and every year, there are layoffs. They cut people, don't replace them, or if they do its with AI or they dont promote employees.

The Mercury News reported two WARN act filings by Oracle - disclosed on August 13, filed again on August 14.

"Oracle America is cutting 101 positions in Santa Clara, the company revealed in a WARN notice filed with the EDD on Aug. 14. These staffing reductions come on the heels of a disclosure by Oracle on Aug. 13 that it had decided to cut 188 jobs, consisting of a loss of 143 positions in Redwood City and 45 in Pleasanton."

Does this mean that the disclosure layoffs (Aug 13) already happened but the filed (Aug 14) layoffs have up to 60 days to execute?
