#layoff

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?

So far I did a recent paystub, W2 and my performance review from FY25. Was debating sending my entire teams code too so I can reference it in the future.

I never realized how hard the hours worked and weekend on calls were… not for me but my wife. She is fortunate enough to have a job that is pretty much 8-4 everyday.
She never complained when, during the lockdown, about the times I was at my home office desk and she had to bring me a plate of food for dinner. It seems I was never on time for an afterwork appt or meeting. I’ll never forget the time that I was nearly fired for not taking an on-call weekend because my sister was getting married. The boss knew about this four months in advance.

On my last day, a Saturday, I promised to be home on time. And I was. She met me at the door dressed like we were going to a fancy restaurant. She hugged me being careful not o muss her makeup (An inside joke) the scent of her perfume was soon taking a backseat to another of my favorite aromas. She had spent the day making my favorite dish, lasagna with home baked bread and carrot cake for dessert.

I started a new Job a month later. Lower pay, but better hours. That following Saturday I made her favorite dinner.

It’s funny, but it took a layoff to get me to realize what a lousy job I had but more importantly, what a lucky man I am to have such a wife.

No rest, no relaxation, no relief...now we start figuring out when the next round will happen because we all know there'll be a next round. I hate it here.

I learned recently severance was not legally mandated. I honestly thought it was, because, why would they pay us to leave if they didn't have to? So now I can't get that out of my head and wonder what if they really decide that severance is not something they want to bother with?

Girl Scouts of the USA approved the sale of the Edith Macy Center Hotel. The property faced declining use and annual financial losses. BMC Benchmark Management Company is now laying off 49 employees.

I know the conventional wisdom is to wait it out and force the company to pay you in severance. But, they'll try to deny it to you by every means they have. You just have to ask yourself one question. Is it worth it?

You'll be faced with a ticking clock of the severance checks stopping while you job hunt. No getting away from that.

Just start looking now and taking interviews with sick days or doctor's appointments and then just...leave. No two weeks' notice. No exit interview. Just tell them you quit and walk out. You don't owe them anything at all.

You'll feel great! You'll be leaving this lousy job and starting new one. No better feeling in the world. Better than waiting around in the stress test lab wondering when your number is up.

They are actively trying to exploit you in every conceivable way.

Just. Leave. Now.

Anyone on a PIP will be gone by no later than March 31st. Anyone receiving a FY25 employee review lower than "Successfully Meets Expectations" will also be gone.

I applied for a job during my 30 day post lay off, when I was still “internal”. I was in screening status and spoke with manager and was moving forward. Then my last official day came. Now I’m “external”. I just found out that this job isn’t hiring external applicants and can’t move forward. The recruiter supposedly tried to get approval. Not sure who or what is behind all these decisions but none of it makes sense.

It’s year end, how many people will be laid off this time?

The current cycle was conducted more like a firing than a layoff. Staff were told early in the morning that the layoff was effective immediately. System access terminated within minutes and staff were walked out by a manager. Remote staff were notified by Zoom.

when it will be informed?

Dear Washington Employment Security Department: This is to inform you that changing business needs have required T-Mobile USA, Inc. to conduct a layoff. This layoff has resulted in the reduction of 393 employees at the following T-Mobile locations:

These facilities are not being closed. The layoffs are not due to relocation or contracting out employer operations or employee positions, but it is possible that some work currently done by these employees may at some point be done by others. While employees are encouraged to pursue open T-Mobile positions, these layoffs are expected to be permanent. There is no union at this location and there are no bumping rights. Employment Security Department Received: 02/02/2026

It has been 20 years since my lay-off and I still have flashes of absolute rage. Does anybody else feel like this? I don’t want to give the people who selected me (it WAS personal) any power over me, but I genuinely felt trapped and vilified by my manager. And also the mean people from Compaq who seemed to have it out for me from the outset.

Has anyone heard of lists being made or anything in the US? When should we expect the layoffs in the US to come? Please be open and honest?!!

Hi, my manager gave me a written development plan. I am unfamiliar with the process here - can someone please share if these plans are genuine and have good success rate for me to give it my all? Or should I work on finding a new job? Any recommendations will greatly help me, I'm in a state of shock since yesterday

If you haven't visited this site (WallStreetDiscriminates.com) you need to. If you've been layed off, count your blessings. If you're still there, update your resume and get out. Post to the site if you have a story to share.

Like others said, it’s just another way to get booted later. Je-king us around.

How does that even work? Explain it to me like I'm 5, please.
