#hiringfreeze

A lot of reps are nervous about what's coming in the future. A high percentage of job reqs were canceled. I am good with my numbers, but am still unsure of job security.

I guess all that money spent in Texas and the Carolinas has caught up!

I really hate how this company offshores so many roles to Mexico City and India etc. My organization is running thin on people and short staffed. There are hiring freezes still for backfilled roles.

I have offshore people on my team and their quality of work su-ks and can’t understand what they are saying sometimes.

Instead of hiring a senior person in the US TR will hire 2 juniors offshored to other countries? Anyone else see the same thing here?

I was expecting a written offer but the HM said due to hiring freeze they could not extend the offer. Any idea when the freeze will be lifted?

Heard a rumor that CAS is not doing layoffs but rather not re-filling positions putting double the work on their existing team. Any truth?

Hiring freeze in India

Will layoffs in India come next?

At time moment there are 4545 postings (some looking for more than one hire.) But that seems lower than it has been. Of those, 2439 are in India. That absolute number and that ratio are not as India-friendly as we have seen in the past. So are we curtailing hiring? Or are these numbers in line with what we expect?

Also, if you do technical/sw development work, check to see if there is hiring around you.

“Such as a hiring freeze, freezing unnecessary travel, limits on overtime, but that really is just going to be a drop in the bucket to the bigger picture,” Kopas told Channel 11’s Andrew Havranek.

With no state dollars coming in since June, the county had to loan itself about $31 million just to keep mandated human services operations running.

Been out of work since an April layoff, Dell ISR. I’ve been reading rumors of a soft hiring freeze until the tariff reversal case is settled in October. Any truth to that?

Signs that layoffs may be coming include financial troubles such as declining revenue or a hiring freeze, management and leadership changes, reduced perks and benefits, Zero Bonus, increased HR activity, organizational RESTRUCTURING, and shifts in your personal workload or exclusion from meetings and projects.

You may also notice increased secrecy, vague communication from leadership, canceled projects, or a generally somber or uncertain atmosphere in the workplace.

** From 2nd Week of October to 4th week of November you will see many of your team members outlook email id's won't exist

Heard from a colleague in EMEA that they are being laid off, others affected too. Is thus just within ISG?

Also heard AMG have a hiring freeze into 2026...more job cuts looming there too...

It looks like that they still post some tech positions. However few positions are manager level or above. Is it true based on my observations?

Tell me how someone gets a $12M BONUS while freezing hiring and raises and at the same time firing thousands of people all while destroying our stock value.

Extracted Compensation Data from the 2025 Proxy Statement (Covering FY 2024)
The provided document is Xerox Holdings Corporation's 2025 Proxy Statement (dated April 9, 2025), which discloses executive and director compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The key source for total compensation is the Summary Compensation Table (on page 51 of the proxy), which reports compensation for the Named Executive Officers (NEOs) under SEC rules (Item 402 of Regulation S-K). This includes base salary, bonus, stock awards, non-equity incentives, pension changes, other compensation, and total.

I also extracted director compensation from the Summary of Director Annual Compensation section (on page 21), as it provides totals for non-employee directors.

Note: All figures are in USD and rounded to the nearest dollar as reported. The proxy covers 2024 compensation; no 2025 compensation data is available in this document (or as of the current date, September 08, 2025, since the next proxy for FY 2025 would be released around April 2026).

(Bloomberg) -- Hiring plans fell to the weakest level for any August on record and intended job cuts mounted amid broader economic uncertainty, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

US-based companies announced in August plans to add 1,494 jobs, the fewest for the month in data going back to 2009. Of the 30 industries tracked by Challenger, hiring plans were concentrated in aerospace and defense, industrial goods and retail.

Announced job cuts jumped from a year ago to almost 85,980 and marked the largest August total since 2020. Excluding the impact of the pandemic, the number was the highest for any August since the Great Recession in 2008.

Does anyone have any info about when the hiring freeze will stop?

Are layoffs in ACS in the roadmap? Asking before they were heavily before the hiring freeze

Is Macy's freezing Manager positions? Going into Q4???

I've learned the hard way that just because jobs are listed online doesn’t mean the company is actually hiring. Some postings feel more like window dressing than real opportunities. It wastes my time and achieves absolutely nothing. It's infuriating, if you want the truth.

Given all the layoffs that are sweeping through the company and still to come, are any of the jobs listed on oracle.com actually open? Can anyone inside comment as to whether they've seen any hiring happening or is it frozen for 60 days?

Is it true there are no h1b renewals/extensions being done? That’s another way to reduce

With skeleton crews barely surviving, do they actually believe AI will pickup the work?

I see it is encouraged to limit the number of internal job application to 5. Anyone knows what will happen if I am applying for more than 5 positions at the same time?

I have noticed a lot of internal positions available opposed to external positions. Anyone have any insight on this? Is there a hiring freeze for external candidates? Also this pertains to US candidates

Are more layoffs coming?
