#layoff

Looks like Steve B’s leaving was a complete surprise to Louie.

There have been some rumors since the big round in January about April being a target for a second round of layoffs. Anyone have more details to share on if another round will emerge and areas impacted?

layoff today in stanford. 1 person identified

Im so sorry it happened to you. But at least you can warn others, and give a tiny slice of payback. They do care a lot about FIS' public image

ESPP is on March 31st that's why US layoff will happen on 03/31

The real number of layoffs in Jeff Simon's org just on 3/24 is roughly 600, not 400 as reported in other threads.

But don't worry, the India build out is full steam ahead. Shamelessly, they even got rid of people who went to India to help stand up the office.

Good luck to everyone.

Toy giant Mattel, the maker of Barbie and Hot Wheels, is laying off employees from its El Segundo headquarters, according to a notice to state authorities.

The company is expected to permanently lay off 65 employees from its headquarters located at 333 Continental Blvd in El Segundo, Los Angeles County, according to its official WARN notice.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) Act, employers are legally mandated to provide a minimum of 60 days’ notice prior to plant closures, mass layoffs, or major relocations. The notice gives local agencies and staff time to prepare, according to WARN.

Mattel submitted the documentation on March 23, 2025, and it was processed the following day. The layoffs will be effective from May 22, 2026, the WARN filing showed.

This is the second time Mattel has laid off employees from its headquarters within a few months. In January 2026, the company laid off 89 employees, according to WARN filings.

Citing a Mattel spokesperson, a news report by Los Angeles Business Journal said that the layoffs in January were part of its effort to restructure its global brands team.

Most of the impacted employees held senior or executive positions, including significant roles on Barbie, action figures, and games teams, the report added.

In March 2025, Mattel laid off 120 workers from its headquarters, most of whom held positions like manager, director, and vice president, according to a Los Angeles Times report. The job losses were part of the cost-cutting effort as the company focused on maximizing its profits.

Citing Mattel spokesperson Catherine Frymark, the news report said that the company was targeting $200 million in cost savings by 2026.

Earlier layoff notices showed that Mattel reduced 439 employees from its El Segundo headquarters since 2020, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal.

I’ve noticed that some people from the company continue to follow and monitor our LinkedIn profiles even after we were laid off and have moved on to new and better opportunities.

If you see that someone has landed a new role, a simple “congratulations” would be more appropriate than checking profiles, sharing posts internally, or gossiping about them.

For those who may not be aware, LinkedIn Premium allows users to see who is viewing their profile. It’s easy to notice repeated views. I could easily identify several individuals who have been checking my profile regularly.

Being laid off ultimately opened the door to better opportunities for many of us, and I’m grateful for where that journey has taken me. Sometimes what seems like a setback turns out to be the best thing that could happen.

Laid off from Fidelity as a SWE in 2024, became a contractor at another company using a contracting agency that works with Fidelity. Wanted to know if there’s a list of contracting agencies Fidelity uses so I can contact them and have more contacting agencies under my belt looking for a job when I need one. Thank you.

Coming first or second week of April. Once again, B10 will be decimated lives and families destroyed and children lose healthcare. Decisions being made above flms and slm heads. All decided by opps.

I hear AI is axing jobs. KC seems to think its a job eliminator to cut back on people. Rumor Ive heard our CHRO has in mind anyway. Whats the strategy. Productivity or cost savings?

Are there any hard pointers such as IT blocking some stuff, etc?

I got laid off in Jan and still have not received my severnace and vacation. I reached out to Hr but not received a response. Anyone I can reach out to? How hard is it to pay someone after 60 day notice, its not like my end date was a suprise to anyone.

I heard at least one division has decided to pull out of the Sacramento site and layoffs might be on the horizon. anyone else has info?

Is there any info on layoffs for former TSYS employees?

Why does anyone work here anymore? I can't wait to be laid off or quit, hoping for the former! Wasn't today walk out day? If you get fired do you still have to pay back sign on bonus?

DOes anyone know when the next layoff at wellmed will be? Im looking into quitting but would like to wait until the next layoffs. Just in case so i can get my severance package. Either way, im ready to get out of here

What are the current betting odds that the April 15th all-company is to explain another mass layoff early in the month circa the mid-July 2024 “bloodbath”? Still no WARN notices I can find, but the timing right after Q1 and corporate jobs disappearing in every other industry does make one wonder.

Another 52 week low with the stock today and has fallen under major support

If it continues to fall then it very likely PE take over, strip the company to bare bones and break it up for parts

Sorry if this has been answered in a previous post, and I've got a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer.

1. So we work like normal for the final 90 days, in addition to the standard salary for these last three months, will we get severance on top of it? From what I'm seeing online, some people have said 2 weeks' pay for each year.
2. What happens to all the PTO that we had planned out for the rest of the year after June 30th? Will we be paid out for those missed days, or should I cancel those and take them between now and June 30th?

I am going to enjoy life till June 30th.
Not going to train my replacement. All my skills will go with me.

FIS Managers are going to provide severance to their buddies, Then those buddies will be hired directly as consultants with FIS.

If you are not in good books with your managers, they are going to transfer you to third rated staffing company COGNIZANT. After a while, FIS will ask cognizant to replace you with low cost H1B visa holder.

The senior management is making final decisions on the USA wide H1-B elimination program. The political climate does not support the huge numbers of H1-Bs TCS has on the payroll.
Most H1-Bs will be eliminated.

Is layoffs happening in Northridge with so many people leaving?

Question for those in the know, since clearly there are some here. Obviously you get a better deal if you're laid off as far as unemployment goes. Last time Phase 1 people had to share in middle of September if they were staying or going. Then layoffs occurred the end of October. Repeat this time?
