#layoff

Weak Q4… growing GCC… more layoffs are soon? … quarterly has been the trend …

Hey everyone, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the layoff situation at CVS, but I’ve noticed something strange: there haven't been any major WARN notices filed lately. Given the restructuring talk we heard last year, I’m trying to make sense of this.

Does the lack of filings mean the company is actually doing well and the 'efficiency' goals were met without more cuts? Or is this a sign that the broader economy is stabilizing? I’d love to hear if anyone inside the company has insight into whether more rounds are coming or if we're finally in the clear.

Elon will personally oversee it.

HR is failing. After 35% cuts, the Business isn't happy with there performance. GV is done. JS is now leading learning and talent. He is hiring a consultants to layoff 75% of staff (MW must be interviewing his ethics for being our next CHRO). RP is spending more time with her boy toy than caring about the HRBPs. HRBPs are about to get slayed. All the while, GBS is about to get crushed by AI. LD is LD. She is awful. Needless to say, disfunctional leadership will cause many layoffs this year and next.

Which team and location?

Hope they all get laid off

If we all banded together and we could see the names, sees and ages you better believe there is clear evidence of racism in these layoffs.

I lost two truly competent people on my team - we are certainly going to feel it.

A lot of what OI does is facilitate the functioning of other divisions. I'm not in OI, but OI's work and tech has enabled a lot of the 40-90% headcount cuts to other areas (not that those reductions were always well advised).

A lot of the applied process support/automation/optimization work over the last 5-10 years has come out what remains of teams currently structured under OI, with most of the work, knowledge base and continued maintenance being US based.

Almost zero effort has been made to prepare this to be handed off to either contractor or OGA teams, and the "cleanup" from the Change Health breach resulted in a TON of project source material and documentation for currently deployed work being wiped, and zero time/resources allocated to reconstruct/replace the lost bodies of work.

Tl;dr: The people currently supporting the existing processes that Optum (actually) runs on are probably the ones that are going to get cut this round. Things will be OK, until an existing process needs to be updated, changed or expanded, at which point things will start breaking.

OP: @c3+1kp53601e

I came across this post while reading through our board. Worth bumping it up.

So today's ATS town hall hinted at impending layoffs, it was almost glib to go down the list of other recent corporate cutbacks but saying T is not named... But anyone with half a brain knows that some significant layoff is being prepared in Dallas, corpos like T love nothing more than to follow the others while the getting is good.. So my question what's your bet for the next round?

And all I feel is relief. I'm honestly glad I stuck through all the attrition so I could leave with a severance. Good luck to everyone still there. The sooner this place is in your rearview mirror, the better off you'll be.

A ton of people I worked with have been laid off today

Any numbers on how big?

Conversations started already on KTD side and it is confirmed we will have layoff so be prepared I think leaders are probably already getting list ready.

Any chatter about which teams will be impacted?

thats it. it happened today, josh silverman su-ks.

If someone is on a PIP and gets laid-off today, do they get severance? Cobra?

Hi ,got laid off last year ... I am seeing a pattern, so far interviews I reached 2nd round and no news then..these are not interviews which didn't went well, I was told it's a layoff restructuring but of course like many other I had bitter relationship with my manager..is it possible to mark my profile which may create chaos in background?

Did it all get pushed back to accommodate for layoffs and WFH weeks?

In his first month of being interim CIDO, "Hot Mess" has already announced another restructuring for IT. What an innovative strategy that will absolutely not backfire. But don't forget to do your Time tracking (give me a break).

Layoffs have taken place already this morning. I got a text message from someone that they and another person in the SR office were let go.

More leadership retirement or are they just getting axed? they dont even look old enough to be retiring

There's clearly a willing contingent that would instantly take them up on it.

Instead they choose to sever people who might really need the job, throwing them into the crocodile pit of the current job market.

Or they push to make working conditions annoying enough that people who have options voluntarily leave (this part of it makes zero sense to me, these are typically the people you can least afford to lose).

Meanwhile the people who stay are made increasingly miserable, both as a result of the voluntary attrition measures, as well as having to operate for years in an environment with zero job security and no end to the layoffs in sight.

How is any of this better than just yanking the bandaid off, and letting workers have a hand in their own fate?

It feels very "the cruelty is the point" to me

Anyone else hearing how big an impact today's layoff is/was? I know of at least 2 managers in the call center that were given 30 day notice today and were told there were a lot of others as well.

Trying to catch the vibe and see through the fluff here. I see a meeting with potential future board member (JG) on the calendar, an earnings call, an all employee meeting, and then a wider team meeting following that.

Personally, I was going to leave the company in short order, but this feels like re-org and layoff damage control on my calendar.

What’s the temperature in the room where you are? I’m remote and have not been plugged into the roomer mill in years. Any concrete info?

When do the layoff meeting requests start coming in? I'm hoping today is the day!

Here’s the real situation on Qualcomm layoff rumors right now — what’s confirmed, what’s circulating internally, and what’s just speculation.

🔍 What’s Confirmed (Public, Verifiable)

These are not rumors — they’re official:

• A small WARN filing (5 employees) in San Diego for May 26, 2026
• Previous rounds in 2024–2025:• 226 employees across 16 San Diego sites
• Earlier 1,250+ cuts less than a year before

• Qualcomm continues targeted, small-scale reductions as part of its shift away from smartphone dependency toward AI PCs, automotive, and edge compute

These are documented and not rumor-driven.

🔄 What’s Rumored (Inside the Industry)

These are circulating in semiconductor circles, but not confirmed by filings or press:

1. “More micro‑layoffs coming in San Diego”

• Several engineers report that Qualcomm may continue small WARN filings (5–20 people) throughout 2026
• Pattern matches the April 2026 filing
• These would be team-specific, not company-wide

1. “Modem teams may shrink again”

• Because Apple is reducing reliance on Qualcomm modems
• Some internal chatter suggests select modem sub-teams could be trimmed
• No official documents yet

1. “AI PC push is causing internal reshuffling”

• Snapdragon X Elite and AI PC roadmap are pulling resources
• Rumor: some legacy teams may be merged or dissolved
• This usually leads to role eliminations or reassignments

1. “Automotive division hiring while other groups freeze”

• Not layoffs, but a shift in headcount allocation
• Some groups feel “frozen” while auto/AI groups continue hiring
• This often precedes targeted cuts

🧭 What’s NOT Happening (Despite Online Speculation)

These rumors are false or exaggerated:

• ❌ No evidence of a large mass layoff
• ❌ No sign of a 10%+ workforce reduction
• ❌ No confirmation of layoffs tied to the rumored Intel acquisition exploration
• ❌ No broad hiring freeze across the company

Qualcomm is doing surgical, strategic cuts, not sweeping layoffs.

📌 Why Rumors Are Spreading Now

Three reasons:

1. Smartphone demand is still soft
2. AI PC transition is expensive
3. Qualcomm is reallocating talent, which always creates anxiety inside engineering teams

When a company shifts strategy, rumors fill the gaps before official announcements.

As much as there are reasons to complain and I have a lot of them myself, the flexibility I have working at Dell's data center teams is kind of amazing compared to my counterparts in GCP, OCI, AWS who work 50-80 hours. I mostly average 30 hours a week.

I make less than those guys but it's still six figures. I get to automate a lot since we have windsurf too now.

I'd like to just climb all the way up to Distinguished Eng or at least Staff Eng.

I'm curious if I just keep being technical, would a potential 30 year path work at Dell ?

Layoffs still ongoing ?

Save Your Money.....

Is that certain? People in the office have been tossing around different dates, but no one really knows for sure.

Are you ready for more layoffs?

This is the way.

To those who believe their layoff is Unjustified..
Whether it is a fake PIP program based layoff or direct layoff, if you had a good track record yet you were laid off because you are a US Citizen while the manager wants to fill your position with a H1B visa holder..

As per USCIS's Employment visa rules, employers 'vouch' that there is no equivalent American citizen available, hence they are sponsoring a foreign national for H1B visa.

But the reality is quite different. Just produce the facts related to Fiserv i.e. how many US citizens were laid off while Fiserv continuously sponsoring H1B visas and majorly Green Cards where they prove to US DOL with complete documentation that absolutely there is no citizen available for that position and ONLY that particular foreign national is the PERFECT fit that position to get the PERM clearance. How fake it can be these days..

Just provide the facts to USCIS and copy to Stephen Miller White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy and Homeland Security, Copy to local DOL's authorities.

HR Schills will delete this message before it is read by others..

Does anyone have any information on the next layoff. Who will be affected, possible dates?

I heard those who got laid off are the lucky ones, while PSP situation will be so dire the rest of us will actually have to pay to be here. Anyone hearing this too?

Another slump in the stock price and another downgrade. I’d ask when will the BoD see the light that this dude is clueless and asleep at the wheel. However, we all know they are complacent!

Nonetheless, given we are now market based, the market clearly has no faith in the company and thus the !diot at the top REALLY needs to be the very next person laid off!
