Real news - offshoring of jobs

Nothing more ridiculous than politicians using Imperial’s announcement as a distraction to blame each other for policies or tie Carney to Brookfield.

No the campus is not being sold to Brookfield. It’s a local firm.

Make sure they redirect back to the main them. Offshoring of jobs.

They are doing nothing to prevent offshoring of jobs.


Six companies in Wisconsin announced facility closures

Six companies in Wisconsin announced facility closures in Sept. 2025, this eliminated 747 employees across the state. The job cuts marked a steep rise from August, when just 93 workers were laid off. Despite the closures, Wisconsin’s unemployment rate held steady at 3.1 percent, below the national average of 4.3 percent.

  • Action Printing, a subsidiary of JAL Equity Corp, began shutting down its facility in Fond Du Lac, with layoffs expected to continue through October 31. In total, 44 workers are affected as the company discontinues the product line produced at that location.

  • Sheridan Random Lake also announced that it will permanently close its facility in Random Lake, impacting 104 employees. The company cited a significant downturn in business as the reason for the closure, with layoffs beginning November 21 and continuing into early 2026.

  • Pregis Innovative Packaging, LLC disclosed plans to permanently close its Germantown facility, eliminating 48 jobs. The full closure is scheduled for April 30, 2026, though layoffs are set to begin earlier.

  • Saputo Cheese USA confirmed it will close its Green Bay facility in December 2025, accelerating a previously announced plan to shut down in 2024. This decision affects 240 workers.

Air Wisconsin accounted for the largest number of layoffs, with 252 workers losing their jobs across its operations at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport and Appleton International Airport. The announcement follows the company’s agreement with Premier Shuttle Holdings, which has expressed interest in acquiring parts of Air Wisconsin’s operations and assets.

Finally, 360x Logistics LLC, based in Sturtevant, announced it will close its facility on October 4, laying off 59 employees. The company cited its inability to secure necessary insurance as the reason for the shutdown.

Together, these six companies — Action Printing, Sheridan Random Lake, Pregis Innovative Packaging, Saputo Cheese USA, Air Wisconsin, and 360x Logistics — underscore the economic challenges facing workers in Wisconsin, even as the state’s overall job market remains stable.


Wake up Americans!

30 years ago, when they moved factory jobs to Asia, you said “none of my business, let those low-skilled jobs go.”
15 years ago, when they moved office jobs to Argentina, you said “none of my business, I have an engineering degree from MIT.”
Today, when they move engineering jobs to India, what you have to say?
You need to act! Don’t let those white males use things like DEI and climate hoax to distract you, and in 10 years, US will have no jobs!

So... what now?

I was fortunate to get a job in the last wave, although it was nothing that I had applied for. The only information I have on the role is the few lines of generic description that I was sent after the fact. I don't even know who my boss is. Again, I'm glad to have a job, but it leaves me wondering... what now?


4,000 will not be just from layoffs

Salesforce is at the front of this shift, with CEO Marc Benioff peddling his “Agentforce” AI tool and recently touting an AI-driven cut of 4,000 “heads” from his customer support ranks. But this didn’t entail a layoff of 4,000 workers, the company said. Inside the San Francisco tech giant, there’s now a growing effort to soften AI’s job replacement blow.

Landed a job within a month of trying

The job market isn’t as bad as everyone’s been saying. Or maybe it was and it scared people off from applying, and now there are plenty of opportunities again. I don’t know for sure. What I do know is that I had several interviews lined up right away, and within a month I got a good offer. The pay’s about the same, but I get better benefits and, more importantly, the culture seems so much better than Humana. Go and apply, folks. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain.


New hires update

Well Ron , you have lied to the flock! State street is hiring contractors and you know what that means there are no internal jobs they want you to quit or get terminated so you don’t get a package. Bravo suspensions, how cheap can it get?

It's Not You, It's Your Job

Back in the day, people got laid off and then hired back. It was a worker shuffle. A new person would join while another left, but the top brass always stayed because the product wasn't going anywhere.

Today, In AI era, entire roles are being eliminated, not just individuals. The jobs are gone for good. So, if your VP is gone, the product is likely next. You'll be reassigned, and if you can't fit into a new project, you're out.

The old rules are changing. In this new market, ops teams are leaner, and real-time coding is the norm. Everyone is expected to be hands-on, so there's no room for backseat politics. New roles are constantly being created, so your ability to adapt and fit into the changing market is everything.

Don't stay in useless legacy projects. RUN. If not

Expect more layoffs ...


Empty Space Between Events

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs?

I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs were released.

So is the process like a shark tank? Talent Card flashes up on screen, advocate stands up and addresses the group which has your job owner in it? A bidding war erupts?

Or is this a “we will make the square peg fit in this round hole”, or a “we will fill the square hole with whatever square we can find”, or a “square holes don’t exist because all the square pegs have already been set aside”?

I’ll be ok till the end of the year, I think. I’d rather not move to H-Town as I am actively avoiding it for the time being, however it’s becoming clear the industry is centralizing there. I know…brilliant deduction.

2.5 weeks left. Unfortunately, my “open for work” will always be visible to hiring managers from now on. Loyalty is but a faint memory.


Oracle Carnage

I created a virtual environment test bench for our local office at first, to test Xstore Office in order to replace our bug testing on real hardware. It got so popular that it is now used in a global environment. Never once did I get a raise or promotion, and now they axed me entirely. Thanks Oracle.

Bloodbath in Oracle Development

Another day of major cuts across Oracle Database development and other groups. A lot of highly skilled, experienced people with very relevant expertise are being let go. Top performers gone. It looks like the impact is falling more heavily on senior, more experienced employees—though it’s clearly been structured carefully from a legal standpoint. Oracle is not the company it used to be. Sad.
