It did not have to be this way, every single choice was made to strip the dignity from employees. Remember that as painful as this is, you are in control of your response. Be smart on your own behalf, contact an attorney if you have questions so that you can get answers that apply to you. Get that contact information from colleagues to keep in touch. Look out for each other. If you are feeling hopeless, in the US call 988.

On Reddit: Wells Fargo not giving severance $? Link included in text
Our dumpster fire of a workplace has spread to Reddit lol. Rumors of severance being reduced to 1 week per year after 4 years of service, multiple people saying they were blindsided with IM ratings at year end and suddenly let go with no severance, and more.
We've all been warned. This will be our norm and it has already happened for some employees. Employees will be fake-fired for non-existent performance issues. All to save severance $$. The brutality will only increase for those that are still hanging on. Wish i left when i had the chance.
The Stagecoach is a career ki-ler.

Building Got Demolished With Employees In It
Quick Take On This Round Of Firing & How Its Different Than September 2,2025 ??
Uncle L did talk to an Astrologer & this mas firing happened EXACTLY 6 months after September 2025 layoff. What a timing. But, this time employees were reading E-mail on layoff & house collapsed. Shame on management
ITV
About 30 people in ITV across the org displaced today.
I'm okay with this
I’ve been here for over a decade, and I’d be lying if I said it was all bad. There were good times too, even if the bad has been more prominent in recent years. I’ll miss my coworkers, and I’m hoping we’ll still grab a drink now and then. I’m ready to move on. Good luck to everyone else, I hope life treats you well.
Laid off at NetSuite
I am unsure if the layoff decisions were the same unilaterally across all orgs, but I was told that people knew yesterday afternoon and leadership had a say in it. In at least my organization they picked some high earners and some people who due to re-orgs were sort of put into bad spots.
Got the morning email and still have no information on whats next and we only get benefits til end of next week. How nice.
Poudre School District prevents veteran staff cuts
Poudre School District avoided layoffs for teachers on continuing contracts. The district placed all such teachers in new positions for the 2026-27 school year. This action eliminated a previously authorized reduction-in-force process. Many probationary teacher positions were still eliminated due to budget cuts. The district faces an anticipated budget deficit of at least $8 million.

Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email
Workers across the U.S., India, and other regions learned their jobs were gone before most people had finished their morning coffee, with no prior warning from HR or their managers.
https://rollingout.com/2026/03/31/oracle-slashes-30000-jobs-with-a-cold-6/
This is so disrespectful
People who’ve given Oracle ten plus years are being laid off through email, no call, no conversation, nothing. That would require facing the people affected, and clearly that’s not something they’re willing to do. It’s a cowardly way to handle something like this, but I'm not surprised.
Criteria - HR Put it in a Slide
If asked HR & exec would be compelled to admit that they defined the specific criteria for advancement to senior roles at OVV. One of the criteria was female or visible minority. Can't undo that slide.
Illegal in the USA for what it's worth. Definitely ammo in the right case...
Employees who's stock vest in June are let go
Employees who's stock vest in June are let go. Just 2 days to vest between last date and vesting date .
Thanks Larry
30k employees let go today.
Hope you can sleep well after this?
Audit Team UMR
We just had two team members let go. So sad.
This is private equity
RV joins the company, lays people off, reduces benefits, saves on costs, and raises service fees. Once the stock price goes up, he’ll sell his shares and leave
IT is impossible to work with at Chevron
I’ve been here for 3 years now. Software engineer. Came from a smaller company in a different industry.
Trying to build and deploy ANYTHING at this company is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever had to do. Getting access to do anything in Azure is frustrating creating resources in azure is frustrating deploying anything to prod in azure is frustrating and fails if you have a single character out of place. Playbooks are all over the place and impossible to find unless you know the secret phrase. I could deploy in less than 5 minutes at my last job, here I plan on it taking half a day.
We even started using power apps last year just to avoid the azure headaches even though I never wanted to consider it. It actually worked pretty well but apparently the power app lead left and now we have nobody who can answer our questions as we figure the platform out, so it’s back to square one.
Why does IT in Chevron make it so hard for developers to do anything? At least we got GitHub copilot. I just want to build sh-t and get it to our users. I’m already looking for the next job somewhere else that lets me do my work.
RIF via email after 15 years
Got the generic email this morning. Just one month short of my 15 year mark. I have seen a lot of good people and engineers treated in similar fashion so I knew this day would come sooner or later. All the best to everyone affected.
Finance accounting hit today
Heard we lost some long timers in a group at Finance accounting.
Can someone explain this to me
If my boss isn't consulted on who to lay off, and my bosses boss isn't consulted then what's the point in doing any work day to day ?
5-10k more across europe romania phillipines emea japan australia ?

Europe, romania( big presence in europe and low protection laws ) and other countries
phillipines emea japan australia
until now its about 12k from last week until this day , 8k to hit 20k is a possible number
it seems far from over .
Closely Monitor Servicefund Dept. Directors
—Ensure they are putting in 8 hour days, 40 hour work weeks
—Ensure they are doing more than just attending (unnecessary for them) all day back to back meetings and not any real work
—Ensure they are not favoring some of their employees while harming others. Giving growth projects to some while starving work for others that work for them (unfairly).
—Make sure they are not just protecting their own careers but not their staff
—Check and see if they were the cause of pushing out some excellent employees within the last couple of years that had excellent work ethic.
—Check to see if they stood up for employees being pushed out that asked (even begged) for their leader’s intercession and advocacy but those same leaders would not lift one finger or one word to help.
—If these Directors and Associate Directors are not properly doing their jobs , then cut them loose!
very weird silence across slack channels after this biggest layoff in oracle history
no one is talking its just a sad a weird feeling across teams
Question for Managers re: RTO
Have you seen any enforcement measures around RTO? (I.e. HR contacting you to engage with employees who aren't meeting the 4 days in office requirement?) Or any of those employees impacted with the recent layoffs?
On leave
On leave and didn't receive an email. Am I "safe" for now or likely to get a call today?
All notifications went out via email?
If we didn't get an email, no chance we'll be ambushed by a call or a sudden 1:1?
OptumRx
People saying ORX isn’t affected but more than 25 pharmacists were laid off. It’s unsettling.
10k in a single day , a lesson learned
i am in the beginning of my career happy that i saw this from the start and know i understand the real face of corporate i would never give my best or stress/ attach myself to a job . we are just a number will always remember this
If you didn't get your layoff email sent at 3AM PT, you are almost certainly safe
i got one, but it was a good ride in the industry, quarter of a century
we are witnessing the largest drop in a signal day in oracle history !
almost 10k drop baed on slack channel and still counting this just crazy
sorry for everyone this is hard really , a very sad day
RETURN TO OFFICE
So why is it that some people feel this does not apply to them. Don't get me wrong. I was wfh the majority of the last 2 years, but I enjoy seeing my coworkers in person. There are entire offices and teams that dont come in even though this was a mandate from Global. Cameron and others, get your cr-p together. If you are going to enforce it than it should apply to everyone within a proximity of an office. While I enjoy being in the office, I am tired of being asked by others "why am I in the office, you are making us look bad" . Its not my fault your boss thinks shes special and these rules dont apply. I am just trying to do my job and keep it.
WOW WOKE UP AND ABOUT 6K GONE

Thinking about putting in for it and just wondering what the craic is really

A New Jersey steel company closed its business. It also conducted employee layoffs. The company largely ignored its employees' union. The National Labor Relations Board investigated this action. NLRB ruled the company violated federal labor law.

Slack Numbers Changing Real Time
I've got the general tab up right now and watching the literally freak out. The number is slowly dropping - it was in the 165K range, and then slowly went to 164K and now 163K. I'm assuming they've clicked a button and people are losing access.
Boss fired
Last day today at AT&T - Got my boss fired after filing a complaint 6 months ago. Called AT&T’s hotline , filed a complaint, provided proof of harassment and discrimination and teammates who witnessed it helped out also. Recorded every teams call with an external phone and provided all recordings to HR investigation team.
Leaving the company with a 6 figure payout. Entire org is toxic!!
Good luck everyone and don’t be afraid to speak out.

What is happening
maybe i am being overly optimistic but that ask srini anything was the realest conversation this company has had since early Legere. Just tell us the truth we’re adults. Good for Srini. But I still don’t know what I need to do to assure I won’t get laid off. Like I know that’s not bulletproof but how can I increase my odds and know if I’m on the right track in my career? Am I moving the ball forward or backward? That’s all I need to know and I’ll stop stressing and drink the kool aid again. Please srini we’re thirsty over here
Relocating was such a mistake
I moved across the country for State Farm based on what they told me during interviews. Now that I'm here, the role and team setup are completely different from what I agreed to. My responsibilities aren't even close to what we discussed. You can't just undo a relocation like that but they act like it's no big deal. Nobody seems to give a damn.
