#layoff

I thought I'd feel better right away but I was so wrong. It took months. Months of not being there to undo what that toxic place did to me. They take everything. Your energy, your optimism, your sense of self. Getting it back takes time. I'm now so happy to be away, I can't even describe it. If you can, leave. You'll feel like a new person.

The IRS plans to lay off 6,700 employees. This action could strain tax collection resources. It may also impact government revenue and the budget balance. New tax policies for 2025 include a higher estate tax exemption. These changes lead wealthy investors to focus on tax planning.

I've been watching and I'm convinced. Nothing good is going to happen here anymore. It's all downhill from here. If you have any way to leave, do it now. It's coming. Whatever it is, it's coming.

I don’t have the guts to quit, but if they did it for me, it would make the decision easy. That’s where I am right now.

A coworker did about two years ago. Packed his entire family and all, just to be laid off within six months. Trusting this place will have your back because you uprooted your life for them is id--tic.

The Anchorage School District announced the layoff of 56 teachers. This reduction accounts for about two percent of the district's nearly 3000 teachers. Superintendent Jharrett Bryantt stated these cuts are necessary due to insufficient state and local funding. A proposed one-time tax levy, intended to fund teacher positions, recently failed. Additionally, 203 teachers will be displaced, and the district is eliminating approximately 500 total positions.

I think I've been so stressed for so long that I've finally crossed a hill and now I simply don't give a damn anymore. If they're going to lay me off, fine. It's not as if anything I do will change that decision, so why worry over it? I just do my job and don't think about it anymore. Life's been much better since I adopted this attitude.

My group has been on the do more with less treadmill for two quarters. And it's not slowing down, it's speeding up. I've done a huge amount of work, delivered results, kept things running. But leadership doesn't support us. They never have. You can't treat people like rows in a spreadsheet and expect them to stay. We lose one more person, and I and a few others are also gone. This company deserves the bad leadership it has.

They finalized my layoff on my birthday. Some gift. That tells you exactly how much they value people.

Hey,

If you worked at Verizon for 15 years in PA, moved to FL, then all the sudden VZ sells off to frontier, but then you quit after a few years on a Friday, start Verizon on a Monday, do you think Verizon will finally bridge the Verizon time again? Was told that since Frontier bought VZ, all VZ seniority ends, should you ever get rehired at VZ. Haven’t been able to bridge the time and have been denied, since in the language of the buyout, you can’t carry your time over, if he rehired. Been back at Verizon for about 7 years now in the same position as service tech, feeling robbed of time.

Does Citi post WARN notices? Florida, Texas, Delaware? I am curious as I have checked but haven’t seen one and I am aware that there have been many layoffs in these states.

A former employee is suing Intermountain Packing in Idaho Falls. The lawsuit alleges the company violated the federal WARN Act. Intermountain Packing abruptly laid off 150 workers without 60 days' advance notice. The complaint seeks class action status for all affected employees. The company claims an unforeseeable financial crisis prevented proper notification.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for any insight regarding potential restructuring within Aetna. Specifically, has anyone heard whispers about upcoming layoffs or organizational changes hitting the DDAT (Digital, Data, Analytics, and Tech) side? Any info would be appreciated.

In the simplest terms: We shall all be laid off as soon as the company can possibly do so.

“The WARN Act offers protection to workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to give a 60-day notice to the affected employees and to both state and local representatives prior to a plant closing or mass layoff.”

So far Nike has not filed a WARN notice. Should we expect to see it if anything happens?

Quite a few people outside my team I occasionally talk to have simply vanished over the last couple of weeks.

They'll be laying people off left and right anyway. Sure, some people they might want to keep could leave first. On the other hand, it's not as if they've been working hard on talent retention. The only way it wouldn't make sense is if they've been planning to ramp up attrition. That wouldn't be a shocker, really.

What did they think would happen? That we'd go above and beyond for a job that might be gone in a month, or two, or three? We still don't even know when the layoffs are actually coming.

Has anyone else seen their pipeline of work come to an end before RIFs? My team doesn't have any new projects planned to start after Q2. I assume this means we are being set up for layoffs. Any thoughts or similar experience?

I just got my Monday morning 'business update' meeting invite. Should I be worried....yikes. I'm a remote employee too.

Hearing people who work on the mainframe are being informed that they are no longer needed.
Any truth to this rumor?

What triggers and when will Shell nominate a new CEO?

An oil industry CEO is typically fired when they fail to balance the "iron triangle" of shareholder returns, operational discipline, and strategic pivots.

Common Triggers for Dismissal:

Capital Indiscipline: Overspending on new drilling or expensive mergers that don't immediately boost the share price.

Activist Pressure: Investment groups (like Elliott Management) demanding a return to "traditional" business models and simpler corporate structures.

Safety or Environmental Scandals: Major leaks or safety failures that result in crippling fines and "brand-ki-ling" headlines.

Operational Stagnation: Falling behind competitors in integrating new technologies.

It seems This will affect several sites make sure you start networking

Their layoff date is 04/27/2026, next Monday. Beyond that, no information has been provided to employees including managers about what will happen next Monday. The last calls will be transferred back to FT, the employees have been told that they will work on finalizing any outstanding work items.

Details of severance? Not yet. Any word about COBRA? Not yet. Will Monday be a full day? Probably not, but why give employees being laid off anything that might allow them to plan, such as when last checks will be issued, when will severance checks be issued. They still have a whole week to figure it out. Financial obligations of employees still need to be met, regardless.

Reading the Severance Policy from the employee handbook is not the same as confirmation from FIS for each employee. Let's keep the tension wound up until the last possible second!

Nike stock up 40 cents today. Adidas stock up over 3 dollars today.
Every leader should be embarrassed as they take months to fumble another layoff execution.
Fing ridiculous…..
Tech is a joke.
3soles not cutting it….

Not poppycock or rumor. Asked this morning for multiple names from my 10 person onshore team. Of course they said we cant take anyone from our 35 person offshore team. OI is not meeting IOI, doesn't matter that my products are. This Jenga tower is coming down after this, already cut to the core and now this. No offense to my offshore teammates, they develop well, but dont know the business. But come on, they could absorb this offshore and be fine. Going to be losing multiple 20 plus year people that know this industry/space for ppl that have 2 years tops.

Layoffs are coming to the GES space Monday. 40% of mobility CSMs plus GES sales will be impacted.

Vendors, I recommend preparing your resumes and to start the interview process. The culling has already begun internally, getting announced in the next couple weeks.

Just read WSJ article 04.15 by Chip Cutter. Y’all should be happy if you still have a job; especially in tech.

37 walked out of truck shop this morning!!!

Anyone recently gone/currently going through redundancy in the UK?

If you've had your consultation meet was the pay offer statutory, VZ typical enhanced (month a year up to 6 months) or somewhere in between?

Anything else interesting that could help please?

J2 confirmed

Layoffs impacting all departments in the upcoming weeks from fallout of stock and Freedom bankruptcy.

Layoffs: Reality for the folks older than 50

New data shows 24% of people laid off between ages 50-65 can't find another job.

Those who do? Average 11% pay cut.

Men take 15% hits, women 7%.

The wait is worse: 55-64 year olds spend 26 weeks unemployed vs 19 weeks for younger workers.

Many settle for jobs without benefits, crushing retirement plans.

Half of older workers expect gradual retirement transitions.

Reality? 70% get the full stop treatment.

Save young or work forever. There's no middle ground.

They kept promising no layoffs with the acquisition of restaurant depot, but here go. Layoffs left and right. Makes sense to do it the fourth quarter so it lowers the bonuses of your workers and also makes you shareholders happy. Is it okay? No. This is an entire business practice. When you spend 29 billion on a company that makes only 2.1 billion, that means you have to offset the cost. However, Sysco employees were promised that we would not lose our jobs…..yet here we are, losing our jobs.

People on here have posted that stores will be converted to indirect by this summer but no mention of this with upcoming layoff rumors.

i have a feeling i'll be cut soon (weird vibe coming from the manager, being ghosted and gaslit) i am thinking about keeping cobra and wanted to see if anyone had experience with it. thank you...
