#dismissal

Today I and several other people in Citi Frad division were laid off as well as representatives in Quality. The average tenure of those dismissed was 4 yrs or over. It is devastating and I’m just still in shock.

And already some good deselections… who should go next ?

My manager told me in front of my entire team that if I am so unhappy here, he has a replacement ready and I am free to leave. I was so stunned that I just said okay cool and went back to my desk. How out of line was that?

Senior Director: Its not about performance that we lay you off.
Me: ok.....
Senior Director: Is there anything we can help you?
Me: Yes, don't lay me off...... (I just be nice and didn't say that)

After 20 years..... this is the conversation i got. Its so fake and insincere.....

Or just pawns?

My role has been eliminated effective tomorrow. Just had a call with my manager and HR.

Niner Bikes operations have been paused. All employees were laid off today. United Wheels, its parent company, made this decision. The Fort Collins, Colorado-based brand pioneered 29-inch and gravel bikes.

Is there a way to tell if someone got fired on the term report?

JLJ gone. No “thanks for your service”. Just appoint interim long timer and business as usual.

Good for 3M. He was very bad at his job.

Pleasanton City Council recently reviewed the city's financial health. Financial advisors warned of a potential downward shift in conditions. The council halted a plan to eliminate 16 city positions. Officials also voted to terminate City Manager Johnny Huizar. The council will now seek a new city manager and review Huizar's contract.

What triggers and when will Shell nominate a new CEO?

An oil industry CEO is typically fired when they fail to balance the "iron triangle" of shareholder returns, operational discipline, and strategic pivots.

Common Triggers for Dismissal:

Capital Indiscipline: Overspending on new drilling or expensive mergers that don't immediately boost the share price.

Activist Pressure: Investment groups (like Elliott Management) demanding a return to "traditional" business models and simpler corporate structures.

Safety or Environmental Scandals: Major leaks or safety failures that result in crippling fines and "brand-ki-ling" headlines.

Operational Stagnation: Falling behind competitors in integrating new technologies.

I really hope you read this.

Eff you! We are better off without. Take your money and go hide your face. You are a failure and always have been. You gaslight the rest of these clowns into thinking you were some EV god but the rest of us knew from day one you were a joke. How you bamboozled Ford leadership into thinking we could take a bunch of rejects and failures from Apple and Tesla and build a successful will be a mystery but now if we can only get rid of the rest of the your lackeys and your “20x” skunkworks team.

Go eff yourself with a J1772 connector.

I would just like to give the middle finger to where it’s deserved. Fu-k you GK + her following a-s kissers. I will not be joining any town halls or taking the survey.

I'm so, so tempted to just not show up, but I don't want to burn any bridges, sadly. Does anybody know if I'll be asked to work my two week notice period or will I be dismissed right away?

Yeah, right. There’s no way he didn’t know or wasn’t at least involved somehow. I can buy that he wasn’t the final decision maker, but I call bullsh-t on him not even knowing.

Apparently SB has just been told to hit the bricks

Entering it in Workday. Isn't that grounds for dismissal?

It was an arduous and painful seven years with her at the HR helm. Good riddance!

I know of 2 people let go today- not sure if they were riffed or just fired.

I can confirm random dismissals without consideration of overall performance or necessity for the company. More than 100 employees are on the final list across all departments.

Goodbye growth! I think that, regardless of the consequences, the wrong horse is being backed here and core competencies are being neglected in the long term.

And here we have the Nuvia boss leaving...nobody likes gladiator and Su-k.ash....for the good of the company they must be fired

We had a guy all of a sudden “leave” our group. We all think he was either fired or laid off but our boss says he will be out “X amount of weeks.” No one believe him. I have been with the bank over 20 years and never heard of someone removed from the system and then put back in when they come back—?! Comments?

Let go from Hagerstown after 11+ years, no reason given.

Found a management person was having an affair. I never said a word till now. But did my accidental discovery cause my layoff?

Head of UX Design at Strategy & Transformation was dismissed this week. Role terminated immediately. He clearly won’t be missed considering his reputation and poor legacy. What other senior roles at S&T were impacted this week?

ASTLs being offered severance or to reapply for open TL spot end of Q1 2026

KM is gone!

JS has been dismissed and alot of new faces from brightspeed and verizon have joined.

From a Google search :

Wrongful Termination: Companies cannot lay off an employee in a specific position and immediately hire a new person to fill that exact same role domestically without risking a wrongful termination lawsuit. However, replacing the position with an offshore role is generally considered a valid business decision.

Would this qualify for anyone who holds a position that will remain and then gets "kicked out" by another person? Would this qualify as grounds for wrongful dismmisal as the company didn't actually downsize or move out that role?

I was working closely with an individual who was unfortunately let go..

Are they still suppose to work? I hope NOT. I am not sure how to approach or not approach at all.

I sometimes wonder how someone who is 81, and serves a 79 year old President can tolerate the dismissal of dedicated staff simply because the workers enter their sixties?

Nasrin apparently thought it would be fun to fire a bunch of us on a group call. Classy

The union believes that Nokia in Poland is carrying out illegal collective dismissals.

Nokia's Polish branch refuses to recognize a legal trade union. A pattern of union busting that betrays Finland's democratic labor values

" Zwiazkowa Nowoczesna is a legally registered trade union founded in 2024 at Nokia Solutions & Networks Poland. From the very beginning, Nokia's local management has employed tactics directly drawn from the classic union busting playbook: refusing to communicate, denying legal status, and obstructing any form of dialogue with employees. These are not isolated missteps—they form a pattern, suggesting intent rather than confusion.
Recently, Nokia Poland reiterated in an official letter that “your trade union does not exist for us,” despite receiving multiple formal notifications required by Polish law regarding our activity and membership. This position is blatantly illegal. According to Poland's Trade Union Act, employers must recognize and communicate with every duly formed trade union, regardless of size. There are no legal grounds for denying recognition of our existence, and doing so constitutes a violation of fundamental labor rights protected both by national and EU law.

This conduct reveals bad faith. It shows that Nokia is not merely misunderstanding Polish legal standards—it is consciously disregarding them. Such behavior would be unthinkable in Finland, a country where trade unions helped shape the very foundations of the modern welfare state and social economy. The contrast is striking: a Finnish company that thrives within a strong system of social dialogue now exports authoritarian labor practices to Central and Eastern Europe."
