How do support roles usually do in these situations? Thinking L2-L4. It’s my first corporate layoff, so curious if anyone has previous knowledge from past experiences.

Any conversation of layoffs within properties? Hearing quite a bit regarding merch but nothing in this pyramid.

Target cuts 1,800 corporate jobs

I know everybody is spiraling. I’m up in the middle of the night too, so trust me, I’m not doing great either, but I do have, I wouldn’t say the advantage, but the insight of being laid off twice before, so I have a better idea how this will play out. There are two things I know for sure from personal experience, and also from the experience of a few friends who’ve been through something similar.

1. If you’re laid off, you’ll feel awful. It’ll be like a punch in the gut, and it might take days or even weeks to process the anger, disappointment, fear of the unknown, and all the other emotions.

2. After it’s all said and done, you’ll be okay. You’ll shake it off, start making plans, and before you know it, you’ll have a new job. Both times I was employed again within three months, and the severance was more than enough to get me and my family through it.

And before anyone mentions the job market, I was first laid off in 2008, and trust me, this job market is golden compared to that.

My point is, yes, it won’t be pretty if you’re laid off, but it won’t be the end of the world either. Keep that in mind over the next few days, because losing hope in the future can destroy you mentally in the long run, even if you don’t end up being laid off.

people have been looking for work for over 6 months.
wish everyone the best of luck Monday.

Seems like AMAT is going for moving more jobs OVERSEAS and focused on letting go Americans...might as well make your headquarters in India at this point. Imagine spending billions on a building none of your customers want and then you let go of people HA

Just wondering if Roundel will be impacted during this layoff. None of our leaders have said a word and it’s complete radio silence.

This has to be the largest layoff that the company has had in several years if it ends up being 2,000. In 2023, I believe it was a few hundred so it is going to be so interesting to see how next week plays out and how the ones who survive carry on.

I see a lot of talk about L6’s and up being the target of the layoffs, but I’m wondering if this is a chance to eliminate the remote team members, especially since the RTO mandates which is increasing in person workload for our in-office team members. Remote TMs also have no growth trajectory and most jobs posted are in-office required. Anyone have info?

it’s over my fellow coworkers. No matter what you do you can’t save your job. It’s all over.

We have already been through 3 rounds this year, how many more this year ?

Has anybody heard anything? My manager played d-mb when I asked him (which makes sense) but wondering if anyone else received more transparency about what will happen here.

I really hope those saying 5% are closer to the truth than the ones mentioning 10-15%. Don’t get me wrong, every person matters, and every job loss is tough. I just hope more people get to stay. The job market is brutal these days.

Has anyone quit their job without giving a two week notice? Don’t want to keep waiting around to get laid off, and at this point I don’t think that a two week notice will do anything. They don’t hire internal US employees so I don’t think they’ll ever hire me back for any position nor would I ever want to work here again.

I was identified for an Enterprise Skills Assessment. Is this a hint for a future layoff?

But they have 100’s of them with labor department fake jobs LCA applications for H1B indentured servants

If not you better get on it because you can bet they are busy right now training AI to replace you! It should go without saying that they will try to hide this from you by saying they are "swamped with work" after the last RIF, or that they "have decided not to work hard anymore", etc

Meanwhile, the more co-workers that you show management you can replace, the more valuable you look to Team Oracle

When's the last time that happened?

Mechanical Engineer for Chevron of 5 years here in the Permian Basin, I make $152K base plus an additional 10% increase off that for living in Midland,TX and my bonus every year is around 45K, looking at the posts here it seems Exxon is just as Toxic as Chevron, but how is the pay since I heard y'all don't get bonuses?

Thoughts on the affect on inventory analysts?

I am deciding whether or not to proceed with the company, I've heard great things but have had great job security the last 5 years, even though pay was really low .. I'm looking to build a career, obviously with more pay but I see that the company goes through layoffs or working arrangements can be a hassle.. if I were to compare to another company that possibly starts with an H.. what would you advise?

I started my career late in life. Been here for 5+ years. I was offered another position with another company. Unfortunately this company has layoffs like many others in our sector. Not sure if I should accept it or just remain here. If you had the change to move on would you? Or would you remain here due to the amount of time you've put in? Also, pay and benefits are about the same.

Looks like they want to replace a lot of claims positions and coding roles with this new AI system Optum Real?

Work at night is very common for our team.

Will I get a PIP? Or let go?

My family needs the paycheck.

Is the plan that any remote employees, or those who don't live close enough near a hub, will be let go by 2027 if they don't relocate?

I learned the hard way that relocation doesn’t mean job security. I uprooted my life, sold my home, and then I got laid off a few months later. It’s cruel, honestly. Dell acted like moving was a sign of commitment, but apparently that commitment only goes one way.

I’m on my second company and third layoff since 2023, and at this point I’ve stopped pretending to be shocked. Every new job swears it’s different, then the same script plays out months later. This just goes to show that the grass is not all that greener on the other side.

We might get one big round that everyone’s waiting for, but it won’t be the end. We can expect smaller, targeted cuts to keep happening for months until things look the way they want them to. None of us will be safe for a long time. Sadly, this is just our reality now.

A bunch of people said a while ago they were no longer giving it their all and have started quiet quitting. I'm curios, how's that working out? How did your manager react, if at all? Have you been put on a PIP or is everything still functioning as usual? This is an honest question. I'd love to do the same thing, but I'm too scared of losing my job.

I spent the weekend looking over our finances, trying to figure out what we’d do if I’m affected. I’m the sole breadwinner in my family, and that’s never sounded as scary as it does now. My wife used to work as a teacher, and she could probably find a job if I hit the wall, especially with all the teacher shortages, but her pay wouldn’t be enough to support us and our two kids. I hate this feeling of not knowing what’s coming or how long we can hold on like this.

Even if you’re one of the best, even if you know this place inside out, you’re not safe. These layoffs aren’t about performance. It’s just about saving money, and that means cutting the higher earners, even if they’re the ones keeping things running. I’m not trying to freak anyone out, I just don’t want people blindsided thinking hard work and experience still count. They don’t anymore.

6 years in S&T/legacy IT. What a mess, we are sc--wed. Mass Offshoring coming soon, especially with the new “role tagging exercise” that occurred a couple weeks ago, a “right sizing” will happen, leaving much more leaner US based teams.

Any management got laid off or just regular folks?

I’ve only been hearing rumors, and they vary wildly. I’d really like to have at least some sense of what’s coming, because I’m genuinely worried about my job, like I imagine most of us are. The job market is terrible, and the bills don’t stop.

I’m really worried about my job. This is not a good time to end up in a precarious situation.

I am not the type to switch companies, but I am finding it difficult to remain with all the layoffs happening and worrying if I will be next on the chopping block.

I know the closings and cuts have just started. Is there any way to know what could be next?
