#layoff

I'm eng4 level management, what does the severance package look like? I'll be exiting in 8 months at any rate, but I cannot find any detail on Comcast severance. Yes, I will be leaving voluntarily, but I would prefer a layoff.

Any news on next layoff? Is it every month or every quarter?

Per policy I submitted my vacation hours prior to starting vacation and also to ensure I wouldn’t have a missing time card (and not get paid).
We couldn’t work from Sep 2 to Sep 22 due to loss of access. But they sure as heck still docked my vacation accrual for the days I pre-entered for post layoff days Arghh.
Kicking myself in the butt.

Is that even possible? These are the numbers sent from their communications, sound like support will be gone from Oracle soon. This is such a high number.

From a company that care so much of their customers lol

Worst day in the history of this company, most of the people were laid off - global functions, AMER region.
Half of the people who got the letters have time only till Jan 23, then they will be laid off.
For rest handful of people, package is same, rest benefits go down, specially the bonus was reduced to less the 50% of the current one.
Curious case, a web marketing leader with 13 years was laid off, in comparison to a leader who just joined the company in July.
So much politics, so much biasness.

For Group 2 and Group 3 - leave while you can, only those will survive who are good at licking.

RR sold this company, sold the lives of thousands of people, shame on him.
worst CEO in the history of this industry.

From my manager's manager. Looks like its the end of the road for me at Juniper. Marketing group.

Those who were laid of at the start of the month stop coming in tomorrow, right? I don't understand why you'd force people to stay after they've been laid off (I know I wouldn't be productive for sure) but maybe that wisdom will come with age, who know. In any case, good luck folks.

When you are fired or layedoff , TCS will ONLY pay out the vacation days and only because it is required by law in states. Many states have varying laws covering sick days payout, but for the most part you will NOT be payed sick days accumulated.
So, given holidays are near, put in for sick days by saying it is for routine physicals, or planned outpatient procedures and take all your sick days.
You will NOT be payed out any outstanding sick days and are giving TCS a financial gift when they are not payed out.
You have been told, god bless all those that will be affected this massive layoff due to the Trump H1-B $100K per APPLICATION fee..

The recent increase in the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 significantly impacts companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which heavily rely on exploitation of Indian workers using this visa program to employ serf workers in the U.S.
Financial Implications for TCS
ASPECT DETAILS
Current H-1B Visa Fee Approximately $1,500
New H-1B Visa Fee $100,000 per application
Estimated Cost Increase From about $13.4 million to $1.34 billion annually for Indian IT firms
Dependency on H-1B Visas TCS will reduce the USA workforce by 5,000 - 10,000 workers with no severance to ensure profits and senior management bonuses are met for the Sahibs and Zamindars to ensure their loyalty.

US citizens will be prioritized to be fired first during the first round of firings.
So much for loyalty

Trump has finally signed the new H1-B fee of $100K per APPLICATION fee will spell the end of TCS. The fee will cost TCS about $1.65 Billion over three years. Analysts expect TCS to eliminate at least 5,000 US based employees to compensate for these higher fees and losses. Expect TCS to become very aggressive in laying off US based employees and provide no severance.
It’s time to jump ship before it’s too late. The ship is already taking on lots of water.

Anyone else heading of layoffs in the US soon?

Eastman continues to layoff tenured employees, keeping less experienced (certainly less paid) employees… regardless of merit. It’s shameful.

Sep18 6am UTC - Sep19 6am UTC totals: 78 layoffs, 57 additions.
September totals (except Sep01): 5024 layoffs, and 625 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

Stop at 75K or further reduction?

Blood bath

For those in US impacted by layoff and utilizing LHH Outplacement services, how is the service? Any good?

Heard there were some layoffs today? Does anyone know how many or which teams got affected?

I'm fairly new to the company and haven't been impacted yet. Will there be more layoffs in the future for the US like in 2026, I'm asking because I have an opportunity elsewhere, and I work in support.

What fields are kicking butt and what fields are getting ready to be sold off? How’s the real layoff going?

Any Houston layoffs 2025?

Exactly one year ago today, I, along with many others was informed about our LRs. It was a surreal and chaotic day. People were pulled into abrupt call with leadership, only to hear a cold, unapologetic monologue. No closure. No empathy. Just a hard stop.
That moment marked the beginning of one of the most challenging phases of my life. Self-doubt crept in, overshadowing every achievement I had worked so hard for. It felt like the ground had shifted beneath me.
But here’s the truth, it wasn’t the end. With God's grace, relentless effort, and the support of those who stood by me, I can proudly say I’m in a much better place today personally and professionally.
To anyone who’s recently been LR’ed, this is not the end of your story. It’s a painful chapter, yes, but also a powerful turning point. Believe that better things await, as long as you're willing to explore, learn, and grow.

Keep exploring. Keep believing. Never give up.
Cheers to resilience, reinvention, and rising stronger.

I'm an ex 19 yr employee that had great reviews and more than exceeded our expectations of profits for years. I got laid off first round but had that icky feeling. Thinking the company I've been loyal to for so many years would do the right thing. It's all politics and bringing in 22 yr olds right out of college that have never been in a refinery, to replace you're 22-24 psg. Chevron will suffer from these horrible decisions! There is no loyalty or morals! When I received layoff in round one, almost everyone in the notice was 45 something and up. Get out on your own terms! I regret not being able to say I retired. On a brighter note, almost a yr pay has me enjoying my family and waiting until next year to even care about looking for a job! I wish you all well and sorry you are going through this!

What happens if you go into the office, your manager works in a different office and you are laid off? Do they send guards up to you to escort you out?

Who got the golden ticket?

Folks, if you are so worried about being terminated, then you already know the answer - you are a goner. Those that are confident in the real value they bring to COP will survive.

I hate that we have to have this mind set, but its a new month so im wondering if layoffs are coming around again. With the amount of issues with clients and clinicians due to all of the changes and clinicians choosing to leave due to it all, I can only imagine how much was lost money wise so worried about if/who will be cut next.

Sep13 6am UTC - Sep15 6am UTC totals: 7 layoffs.
September totals (except Sep01): 4704 layoffs, and 279 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

This is a baseline for a new week.

Have worked here for the past 8 years. Employee moral has been way down since the death of one of our colleagues. This Friday it continued when they abruptly laid off 4 of the most senior employees. Tariffs and incredibly poor management hitting us hard. The TRUMP economy in action!

Oracle has quietly eliminated more than 3K jobs across the US, India, the Philippines, and Canada, marking one of the largest workforce reductions in its recent history. The cuts took place between August and September 2025, but the company has made no public announcement. Instead, the layoffs were revealed through legally required WARN filings in the United States and similar notices abroad.

The timeline

• August 13, 2025: Bloomberg reported that Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure teams were hit first. No company statement was released.
• September 2, 2025: WARN filings in Washington State showed 101 layoffs effective November 3, 2025. Kansas City operations were also affected.
• September 3, 2025: California filings revealed 254 jobs cut across three sites, including 187 in Redwood City.
• September 4-5, 2025: Another 101 layoffs in Seattle were disclosed.
• Ongoing through September: More reductions followed in India, the Philippines, Canada, and Europe, often announced through “business update” meetings.

Where the layoffs happened

• United States: 262 jobs in Seattle, 254 in California, plus additional cuts in Kansas City, targeting former Cerner employees.
• India: Around 10% of Oracle’s workforce, or 2,800 to 3,000 staff, lost jobs across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Noida, and Kolkata.
• Philippines: Entire teams in Advanced Customer Services and the NetSuite Global Business Unit were eliminated.

Who was affected

• Oracle Health (formerly Cerner): Consulting, implementation, and care delivery roles took the hardest hit. Kansas City has now lost more than 5,000 Oracle jobs since the $28.3 billion Cerner acquisition in 2022.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): Cuts hit Enterprise Engineering, Fusion ERP, data center technicians, and even AI/ML project managers. This came as Oracle announced major AI investments.

Why it happened

The layoffs came just weeks after CEO Larry Ellison met with President Trump and unveiled a $30 billion AI infrastructure deal with OpenAI. Despite strong financial results—$57.4 billion in revenue for fiscal 2024, up 8% year-over-year—Oracle is cutting traditional roles to fund AI expansion.

These are not recession-driven cuts, but deliberate restructuring aimed at shifting resources toward artificial intelligence.

The human impact

Oracle has remained silent publicly, leaving WARN filings and brief internal meetings as the only communication. Many long-serving employees, some with over 20 years at the company, were informed of their termination during short virtual meetings.

One employee shared on LinkedIn that the layoffs highlight a growing reality: companies will eliminate jobs to fund AI, even when profits are strong. Experience and loyalty no longer guarantee security.

All New Product Development and lab personnel in Novi, Michigan have been given their walking papers.

Thoughts and prayers to Lal, whose compensation was 20MM in 2024 (up from 18MM in 23 and 15MM in 22).

Maybe we can get a gofundme started for him to avoid more layoffs?

Will there be more layoffs in the US and Canada before the end of the year?

My good friend, a RN at Southern Hills Hospital, Las Vegas just got her layoff notice effective 10/3. It’s too bad, she would’ve been vested with the company the following month. (6 years). It’s too bad company’s treat their employees this way. Their focus is on profit, not patient care. I guess now they’ll dump more patients on the limited amount of staff there, but of course, CEO’s will still maintain their pay. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians! They could easily maintain adequate staff by just cutting a few from the top, and keeping the worker bees.

Looking at internal jobs and they are hiring for current roles at a grade lower with lower pay then what we are paid now for these roles. Are we being set up to be laid off or fired so they can replace us at lower pay? Are they gonna lay us off and make us apply for these roles to pay us less? Will any of us that make it through layoffs getting a bonus or raise?

Not because I’m crazy about this job or the company, but because it’s really bad out there. My wife lost her job six months ago and still hasn’t found anything even remotely decent or in her field. I’m terrified of becoming jobless too. Honestly, the IT job market seems even worse than her industry. I hate what’s happening to all of us.

Utica University sent notices this week to 23 academic departments, notifying them that 31 full-time faculty and librarians could be laid off. The notices come at a time when the institution is looking at cutting degrees and has been dealing with financial difficulties.

Heard from multiple reliable sources who make the calls......This will be the biggest one the company has ever had.....it is confirmed. Nobody knows about "when". It will include everyone from every department, every project, no matter the seniority. Even VPs won't be spared. Junior or Senior, it doesn't matter. Could be as soon as mid September or it could be 2 months from now. Stop the work and start looking for a new job RIGHT NOW. Good luck everyone.

I know our direct managers are not the ones making the decision on who's going to be laid off, but is there a chance they know already? My manager is a good guy, but he's been acting a bit weird lately, standoffish, and with this announcement, I'm now getting paranoid.
