Anyone based in Ireland laid off recently? What kind of payment did you get?

I think some have asked and didn't get answers but I just heard on an all hands call today that some at Frontier as well as some from Ireland were included the last round of cuts. I didn't work with them personally but a lot of people on the call did and said loosing them was hard after everything they had contributed. I don't know the details like whether the work was offshored or just not needed but it is what it is. Odd since a lot of what we did was offshored to Ireland over a year ago.

In the All Hands yesterday Niraj confirmed expansion of physical stores to the UK. They're actively seeking out their first location.

He also stated that they are committed to UK, Ireland and Canada with a strengthening market share in those regions.

Obviously there are no guarantees in business but it was a nice rebuke of that "Something Big Brewing" poster on 15th June.

Anyone else see the recently posted engineering positions in limerick Ireland? It looks like they are targeting fresh graduates. I have a few problems with this:

1. Weren’t all international operations sold to BT?

2. Why Ireland when our network is based in the United States?

3. These would be good positions for associates looking to move into engineering. Why are they looking outside the company when people inside the company would want these jobs.

Was BNY right to close it's two regional offices in Ireland ? Have services improved

I am hearing, atleast from few different levels that they are planning to do mass layoff in Ireland and maybe UK, and eventually exit UK like Germany..not rumors but actual talks. Can't share where and who coz i might get into trouble.

I mean I'm already seeing signs for UK, decreasing headcount each year, only bit up due to German relocation, not much profit and announcements of Canada physical store plans and aggressive US stores plans- they would need money and UK might be bleeding more money and resources.

I would be very proactive to look for jobs given perfect storm brewing.

He mentioned helping clients innovate through agentic AI, trusted data infrastructure, and other technology investments. Do you see this as a positive sign of growth and future opportunities, or are you taking a wait-and-see approach?
How do you think this investment will impact employees, clients, and future hiring?

Fantastic to see Shannon in Ireland this week with the announcement around growth (despite hating who she was standing alongside) . One thing we are in Ireland is a mecca for IT, put simply if you do not have an Irish presence in Europe, globally shut the doors. Let's go!!

Now we’re back to the usual agenda of outsourcing whenever possible!

“The Patient Care Systems hub will develop cloud-based platforms and clinical software to support connected care for patients with implanted cardiac devices, according to a Thursday statement from economic development agency IDA Ireland. The investment will add 85 jobs initially. New roles at the site will include leadership, software engineering and systems reliability positions.”

Anyone from ireland here? Were u guys affected by the layoffs?

Will this endless merry-go-round of job cuts ever stop?

Heard on the grapevine Hugo is being moved to Parkmore Galway and the other Facility in Galway will be closed. A lot of good people will be on the chopping block. Every year there have been RIF’s but this year will be the big one.

"Restructuring proposal which may affect several roles in Ireland, provisionally including yours"

Does anyone know how much was the redundancy last time?

I heard it's starting on the 28th of April and that M4s have a list since the beginning of April.

Is it true?

Is there layoff happening at Cork site in Ireland this week? What groups are impacted?

Anyone laid off in Q1 confirm what it is?

Any news on this year’s numbers? Last year we heard of 113 employees getting the axe. Has the consultation already started?

Someone I know is an ebilling employee at hertz In ireland and has informed me that they are being laid off as part of a group of 78 people. What's left of this department is left to train workers in India who be training bots to do the ebilling instead.

Keep fighting the good fight. Ireland coming apart at the seams

I havent heard anything happening in Ireland, any news? I see lots of OU's been hit today. Scary times ahead.

R&D jobs being cut in the Athlone campus.

Can you comment on the package

New push. Collective redundancy. First round today with many more to come this year. Not based on performance as all the usual wasters still hanging on. If you are still there you need to jump immediately. Dublin to fully close by the end of the year. Ireland Employment Law a massive issue. Everyone engage your solicitors do not be bullied. Give Bravo a financial headache. WRC scares them.

In recent meeting, we were told to expect all current and new Epic positions moving to Ireland. Apparently Epic is Ireland's national system. Never assume your job is secure. They will find a way to outsource when ever possible. I wouldn't be surprised if our entire division gets sold off soon.

Xerox to Close Ireland Toner Manufacturing Plant by End of 2025. (Where did you hear this?)

Cork, Liverpool, Poole how are you doing? Any updates on when offices expect to close? Are any of you offered BAH contracts or relocation?

Wexford employees who are now BAH, did you get a new BAH contract where it says you may have to return to office or how is it working for you?

The next round is coming, not as massive, 1k and above, focus on Ireland and India and the back to the states.
Bookmark it.

Got laid off yesterday. Have been working in synopsys from last 3.6yrs. Not sure what range of severance package should expect?
No formal HR communication!
Any help regarding Irish benifits?

Anyone left in Galway after recent layoffs?

Can be better, just saying

So far, it seems like folks in Ireland have been having a rough week. Nothing yet here, as far as I can tell. The newest rumor is that the big round might happen in the second half of November.

I honestly don’t know what to think anymore. This whole ordeal - the escalating rumors, the lack of official communication, and the high likelihood of layoffs, whether large or not - is making me really, really stressed and exhausted.

Ireland 93 - remaining 3684
Egypt 91 - remaining 526

It was just announced that less than 30 colleagues are affected. Does anyone know the areas?

Any updates on Ireland? What's going on?

Greetings! This is my first time posting here. I have heard through the grapevine that RIF's are coming to EMEA in October for some of the Irish sites. Can anybody confirm if this is true?

Looks like the whole sales team was axed, and some tech support people were laid off too

1 day after the execs flew over from the US to tell us about how they were happy with the work and with the growing headcount. would have been more decent to just not say anything...

how is it looking in other locations?

Wasn’t it great to see the person that represents Verizon to Congress to help offshore jobs, go to Ireland where those American jobs were moved to and celebrate it on LinkedIn? Leadership personified! Exhilarating and exciting indeed. Can’t wait to see what lives and communities they offshore next!
