#layoff

CP laid me off this week. Since then I am feeling shock, anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and shame. Anxiety about the future leading to feelings of worthlessness. It’s like a bad dream and you keep hoping you wake up and it wasnt really, that you weren’t selected. But you were. You are going to feel anger when you find who remained and question how “they” got to stay and you didn’t. It’s going to hurt.

I wish everyone well on Wednesday.

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is brutal now and I’m job hugging like a motherf----r, I’m not ready to leave yet.

Has any C-Level exec ever been to the Atlanta office?

In today's all hands meeting, the CTO pretty much said Citi will follow the lines of Amazon and Meta and will be laying off people. He didn't say specific numbers and exactly when but the message to me sounds like there will be layoffs coming.

I received a 1:1 with manager (Band 10 US). Good luck to everyone

This has been the well rehearsed blueprint.

On my team they let go the top 3 sales performers with very high commissions. The guy who sold the largest deal in I M Cloud history was let go a month later. Shameful.

So if you are let go what's the package like at Conoco these days? I left many years back and moved to family business. So just curious if it's better than what it used to be.
Good luck !

The Indian accent is undoubtedly the most annoying accent in the world, Verizon needs to ax the entire cs reps based in India and move it elsewhere I know it's pennies on the dollar but imagine Verizon customers hearing that accent when they are already pi---d off

Hearing from multiple sources that a layoff is planned for November 14th?

In Dallas, Texas IBM laid off the entire Cloud Platform Team (i.e., developers, software engineers, etc.), including the manager.

If you are laid off and H1B in your team is not laid off- do you have a good court case

No one is giving specifics, but a colleague mentioned a number of senior leaders and managers were let go from the Alpharetta office. Can anyone confirm?

If really talented CEO should not choose layoff to show money

He needs to guide the employees how to increase stacks value and how to increase customers to come VZ network

Layoff and show money as company growth any one can do for that we dont need talented people normal people can do this

Anyone completed their pension rollover after being axed. I am wondering how long it takes to hit your IRA account after getting your notice that it is being rolled over?

So long as we keep sending managers on trips to oversee the offshore teams things ain’t gonnna change.
Why the heck are we paying people to give pep talks in India? This only means a plane load of people are taking their spouses on paid vacations.

How sad people are getting laid off while others get free vacations.

Heard a bunch of layoffs going on today. Is it true? What’s the management criteria!

Regarding layoffs specifically in November 2025, Cisco is preparing to eliminate approximately 2,000 to 3,000 jobs by early November as part of a cost-saving effort aimed at achieving $2 billion in annual savings. However, the exact dates for these November layoffs have not been specified beyond the general timing in early November.

Do we have enough 60+ people in Oxy that will be enough not to trigger an involuntary layoffs? I don’t know what percentage of people they are looking at reducing if it will come down to letting more people go in the coming months. What’s your take on this?

I’m hearing rumors that band 5 and above is getting notices this week or accepting a special package. Can any Sr Directors or above confirm this?

Band 6 and below will be the 11/20 group. Im hearing those names are being compiled by band 5 and above now, but I’d like to hear confirmation from the band 5s?

Someone somewhere must have credible information by now. Please let us know!

I've said it before if they let me go I'll see to it they never win root again or any other awards they may use instead.

My workload’s dropped off a cliff over the last few months, and while I can’t say for certain, it really feels like my manager’s been avoiding me. I’m almost sure my name’s on the list. Weirdly enough, that realization’s made things easier to handle. Now that I know what’s probably coming, I feel calmer and I’ve already started looking for my next move.

What’s the point of these celebrations when the very people that made this happen are let go? No meaningful strategy when it comes to these layoffs. Those at the top are coasting while those who do the actual work are treated like cr-p. Trust, confidence and motivation to drive is lost and they really expect us to be excited about these “celebrations”?

Because it 100% was not performance. We lost two teammates who were among the best, and we have a few who could/should have been laid off instead and are still here. It really su-ks knowing that hard work will not protect you in situations like this. What's even the point then?

Do the VPs and directors get those special packages in their contracts, so they don’t have to worry at all after the merger while everyone else feels uncertain?

Seriously. Go to another bank. Find the strength of racism that exists no where else only at our finest USAA. even more odd, most employees are actually supportive and help one another at other banks. We have a deep rot here. its why we only attract the most d-list leaders.

long gone is the morally, ethically right culture of Transunion. Say hello to layoffs for thanksgiving.

When is the next layoff and which org?

Palo Alto employee here. Will get notified on Dec and last day 60 days later. Question: What kind of continuing healthcare coverage does Broadcom offer during the severance period? Continuing the existing plan for a period of time?

And I assume after that, the option to purchase Cobra coverage?

What is everyone hearing?

Indeed, Zip Recruiter, LinkedIn, Monster! Keep applying the reality will hit soon. No transferable skills. No keeping current. Just gliding along. Thinking it would last forever. Enjoy those checks while they come in. The merger may be in 2027, but they arent going to merge the whole wagon and then start evaluating cuts. Skyworks is not paying out severance packages. Clear that noise from any future considerations. And if you live in one of those places with no semiconductor companies around, well I guess there is always coding like Joe said! Karma for every poor soul that got su-kered into working for the failed merger of RFMD and Triquint and lost their positions due to poor business management!

good riddance

Just came through… thoughts/details?

With rumors of potential layoffs in December, what areas of the company do you think they’ll target or if there will be layoffs in general?

I can handle being laid off. What would really break me is being PIPed and then fired, which is exactly how my old company got rid of people to save money. That’s the reason I left. After having that kind of threat hanging over me for years, a layoff almost feels like mercy.
