Its first chance is when 90 days expire. So you are looking at just before the Labor Day.

Comment on how you feel being isolated, while others wait their turn for next round. This happens every round, laid off employees dropped off the bus, while ELT preaches Cisco impressive leadership, AI prowess and caring for employees.

Nice touch. Great empathy.

Just found out that they drill up to location and grade level on survey results and HR sees even further. Do not take the survey as you just put the target on your back. Anonymous my a-s.

I found Robin Vince’s LinkedIn post last week… fascinating. He calls it a “full circle moment” with his Goldman buddy Lloyd Blankfein, yet it plays like another round of leadership cosplay. It might even be touching if BNY employees weren’t here describing a workplace stitched together with fear, offshoring, and corporate theater. Nothing says “excellence” like inviting a billionaire mentor to discuss humility lessons learned at Goldman while thousands of his BNY employees beg for clarity, stability, or even basic honesty.

Vince praises Blankfein’s lessons on uncertainty and values — meanwhile BNY’s workforce is drowning in ambiguity, morale is on life support, and “risk taking” mostly means gambling with people’s futures.

He talks about embedding values “every day,” yet avoids the very public concerns about layoffs, offshoring, collapsing trust, and a workforce treated like expendable inventory in a never-ending transformation cycle.

The real full circle moment won’t be a photo op with a retired Goldman titan. It’ll be when Vince realizes that inspirational quotes and curated leadership moments don’t fix morale, don’t slow attrition, and don’t rebuild credibility.

Best news of the year .. people officer is leaving not sure what her purpose was at bd other than fly and travel all over the world posing for pics and cutting ribbons and handing out lame awards must be nice. This woman was a nobody in Sumter plant somehow made her way up the ranks .. appease Tom and ur gold .. her replacement is another useless waste of space .. talent at BD is non existent and where it exists it’s not valued it’s eliminated to be outsourced or to bring in their buddies .. yup I said it and it’s the reality ..

What is the point of the feedback? Im so over getting harrassed about that sh-t and half the people requesting it or it assigns to you i dont even know.

CEO’s don’t give a shard about you or your family if they terminate you to make them more money for their pockets.

Best of luck 🤞 to everyone.

Was there a layoff or announcement today?

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

I think we can all agree with the current sentiment around growth.And the way sites have been closing the last five years, Tucson is next. They do not care about employees in arizona. We have taken a back burner since Brad left. If you look at the 10-k reports, we can see this. The only thing I can't find in.It is an exact lease renewal date, if anybody knows.

Citibank recently disclosed over 300 layoffs at its Manhattan headquarters, part of broader ongoing job cuts at Citi.

In early 2024, Citi announced plans to cut 20,000 employees through 2026. Earlier this year, a Citi executive noted that the financial services giant is making headway on the goal.

The New York Department of Labor on Monday posted details on company filings showing over 550 permanent layoffs at Citibank's Manhattan corporate offices this year. Nearly 250 had been disclosed in a previously posted February filing, while over 300 were disclosed to regulators in April and posted to the website this week, according to Citi.

Dates for all the layoffs disclosed in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, notices, range from April 14 to July 30, according to Citi.

"As we said previously, we will continue to reduce our headcount globally in 2026," a spokesperson told ThinkAdvisor by email Wednesday. "These changes reflect adjustments we're making to ensure our staffing levels, locations and expertise align with current business needs; efficiencies we have gained through technology; and progress against our transformation work, which is nearing Citi's target state. We are grateful for the contributions these colleagues have made to Citi."

The more they roll out AI and the metrics and the micro management, it’s clear State Farm think doesn’t give two sheets about employees. D1 injury has so many people out on leave or are quitting because bad management doesn’t know how to treat people with any shred of dignity. Everything is ‘trust the process’ or ‘our competitors do it’. Didn’t state farm used to be the big dog in the industry? How can a company this big just copy what it he competition does?

Worst part is that it’s a 2nd level management issue company wide. Total loss, injury, pip/mpc are all struggling. They send out those ‘anonymous surveys’ each month but they only do that to retaliate against people who’s give them 1s and 2s. You need OT but they’re so tight on the purse strings for management bonuses.

Fayette County Public Schools announced major staffing cuts this week. This action terminated 120 district-level support personnel. The cuts address financial reporting errors and budget issues.

New Careerminds research indicates loyal employees are hit hardest by layoffs. Many long-tenured workers believed their dedication would protect their jobs. Over two-thirds of these employees felt blindsided by their layoff announcement. Most had significantly outdated resumes or inactive professional networks. This experience often leads to financial stress and reduced future employer loyalty.

The Los Lunas Board of Education approved a $144.57 million budget. This budget covers the upcoming 2026-27 school year. The district managed to avoid any employee layoffs. This occurred despite a decline in student enrollment. Increased state unit value boosted revenue, and salaries will rise 1 percent.

I can't accept it's over. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Deloitte recently conducted layoffs within its audit division. These reductions affected employees, including senior managers. The layoffs occurred shortly before annual bonuses were scheduled. Affected individuals reported the process felt impersonal. One senior manager received severance and bonus payout.

I've heard some people were cut, does anybody have details on what happened? And most importantly, is it done?

Heard on the grapevine that the sell off to BT is now more likely than the mass dismissal in EMEA. At least for Professional Services teams working on Security products. That should buy people some security for a few years. Regarding exactly which teams, remains to be seen. BT earnings call today 21.05.

Michael Dell “donates” $6.2B gets put on some BS AI government review board by Trump and a call out to buy Dell stock. Stock rise by 14%.

Donny T invests several million into nvidia stock, announces to buy nvidia and Dell. Nvidia doesn’t get tariffed.

Jeff C gets $150M for laying off 60K people in 2 years increasing profit margins. They sc--wed 60K people for their own profit.

Now, the people that are left aren’t making more money, they’re working harder with less people to do more.

Meanwhile there’s nothing there from a product perspective. No products, nothing but corruption and hype.

These are vipers. Sub humans who do nothing but sc--w over people for their own benefit. They are the epitome of what is wrong in America.

BTW. Layoffs in June, July and August by these POS.

A big round of layoffs last week! A lot of good people who were loyal career employees were axed with zero empathy from leadership. With the abysmal combined ratio this company is running, you can expect more devastation to come! IMO this company is posturing to be sold or fold. Run for the hills, folks!

For all meta users who need support! Know all your CS tickets are being routes to AI. We are not looking at them only tagging them.

Will we at least get a few months to recover from all the stress?

Have there been any changes since the last time?

If you are impacted or know somebody who is, please drop your org and (if you know) years of service.

With all this good news being said about Lumen, why are raises for non-union employees not being given?

People are really on edge lately about the ranking/layoffs.
Employees look at each other as competitors as we walk around campus.
People feel compelled to speak up in meetings to state the obvious in an effort to show their knowledge.
It is really awkward.

What other stupid observations have you seen?

When are the ranking sessions? When are all ranking sessions completed?

The cuts amount to about 10% of the company's workforce.
Singapore-based workers were the first to learn their fate, with layoff emails arriving at 4 a.m. local time, according to Bloomberg. Employees in the U.K. and the U.S. were slated to be informed as their own mornings began. Meta asked North American employees to work from home Wednesday

This su-ks :(

Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.

I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety.
How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly didn’t see this coming , falsely assume my rockstar status insulated me

Former Meta Dublin.. How have teams been affected? Any teams in particular hit?

Everyone has said that the 3 day requirement is rolling. If that’s the case and I take two weeks off can I only go in 1 day the week before I’m off and one day the week I come back?

When will we know when our IFP roles end? I thought we would find out today morning as WARN notice.
