More layoffs coming today and tomorrow. Small batch, not big batch.

Freight transportation provider Alan Ritchey Inc. is closing its Phillipsburg, New Jersey logistics facility. This closure will result in 176 employee layoffs effective July 17. The decision stems from the nonrenewal of a U.S. Postal Service contract. This marks the company's second major workforce reduction tied to lost USPS business this year. Earlier, 729 employees were laid off in Aurora, Colorado, for similar reasons.

It sounds multiple offices will be closed. Will they cut ppl in these office in the next step?

Was told today by Market Manager (my old store manager ) Flooring Specialist going away .

What is the goal ? 8K? 5k? Endless ?

There are some high profile visitors to the Edinburgh office this week. Is it to announce the location is closing? What could be the reason to visit a site with less than 50 people in it

Hearing people who work on the mainframe are being informed that they are no longer needed.
Any truth to this rumor?

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but this seems to be a deeper one.

Given all the cuts, do we really need two chief network officers (wireless and wireline)?

Seems like they created a job for someone who was complaining. Just saying.

What are your thoughts ?

1. How was the list prepared ?
2. Why another round when previous one is still going ?
3. What percentage you are losing from your team ?

I know someone who lost their job in P.A. today who said a dozen of their colleagues did too, including U.S. based managers.

Yes entire team. We all got invited to a single business update meeting and then the director told us, this team is redundant.

I heard sales people will be targeted as per previous treads but will managers from different departments will be too?

I heard Billing, Collections and CS was hit this morning. Anyone know of any other depts that got hit? Everyone in the US is being hit.

Layoffs have taken place already this morning. I got a text message from someone that they and another person in the SR office were let go.

When do the layoff meeting requests start coming in? I'm hoping today is the day!

I heard the Command Center and Help Desk departments were recently outsourced before the New Year? And now from seeing this site, it seems that a lot of departments are being slashed? Wow. How is this affecting the day to day operations with the app support and daily prod processing that was always deemed critical?

Mate, the skunk work just blew up in our face but exposed why we will have prod dev and prod dev test layoffs going into next FY. G2 Happy shoes tapped to reduce 15% across his org

In IL only 5 offices will be left. I cannot say which 5.
Customer Service has 3 waves, that will last to end of Q3.
All other states, likely main HQ will remain.
