My position was eliminated out of the blue after working in that role for 6 months.
Fall River Public Schools will lay off 73 educators. Initial non-renewal letters went to 213 employees. Reasons cited include performance and missing state licensing requirements. The district is working to help many educators meet these standards. Special Education teachers and newcomers are most affected by these cuts.

Everyone talks about Dell’s stock run and AI growth, but almost nobody talks about the long-term cost of the nonstop restructuring.
The recent numbers are pretty staggering:
• $227M spent on severance in just 13 weeks
• Another $242M already reserved for future severance payouts
And that’s only a small snapshot in time.
When you zoom out and consider the estimated 70,000+ employees impacted over the last 5–6 years, the total severance costs across all these layoff cycles could realistically be in the $2–3 billion range.
That’s an incredible amount of organizational churn that rarely gets discussed publicly.
Wall Street may reward efficiency, but these repeated cuts also come with major hidden costs:
• loss of experience and institutional knowledge
• employee morale damage
• constant reorg fatigue
• disruption to customers and internal teams
There’s a very different story underneath the headlines and stock price.
Job market is terrible now
The number is gigantic
Max cap being cut from 150% to 125% so they can take that off the balance sheet and not have to pay out that additional time when we're all RIFd.
Happening today.
The money used to make the stress worth it but weak raises ki-led that advantage years ago. Now there's no path up, no relief in sight, and I'm starting to feel like an id--t for still being here.
I didn't realize the layoff stress here was bad enough to make someone leave for less money.
Any updates regarding rifs in June?
Been hearing 6/10 for about a month, how’s it looking out there?
I was cut in the last round, I'd like to see if it's the same as it was then.
I’m an employee who’s been through a few rounds now, and the strange part is how routine it’s started to feel. Once one layoff ends, people don’t really relax, they just start wondering when the next announcement’s coming. Most of us just keep working, keep quiet, and try not to draw attention. Sad.
Expeditors International, the Seattle-area logistics company known for never laying off employees, cut about 230 technology-related jobs in Washington state on Monday, ending a tradition that had been a point of pride for much of the company’s history.

if you were/are impacted by the layoff, please reply and keep this post on the top so we can have some ideas how many people they are cutting secretly. Just post your date and your state.
Is it being reset? Or gutted?
Nothing makes sense
Lavish Roots eliminated 263 positions. The company served as a food vendor for Meta offices. Meta is transitioning to a new food provider. Most affected Lavish Roots employees will move to Meta's new provider. This change led to the job eliminations.

Los Angeles city officials expect to avoid layoffs for 70 employees. These positions were slated for elimination in last year's budget. The City Administrative Officer recommended halting the layoff process. This occurs despite a projected $96.8 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year. The City Council must still formally approve this recommendation.

I have tight schedule and I won't be able to give 15 day notice, is that ok? will there be any pay cut?
Since Andrew left, and he only led for approximately 4.5 years or so, the treatment of employees has gone down to the gutter. The only period in which employees were treated fairly was during his tenure. Look up the history of UHG leadership and you will see what I’m saying. I was recently laid off after working here for 15 years. They not only offered me 5 weeks of pay, they put very “questionable language” in my layoff package.
Accepting their layoff package is accepting more abuse on the way out.
• If they get sued you should be on their side.
• If you were mistreated and (I’m watering this part down) or if you saw someone being mistreated, by accepting their severance you are saying it never happened.
• If you catch wind of them potentially being sued, you should warn them
• Also they added that you should not expect any payment for any of this! hahahahaha!!!!!!
• And if they call you for help with work after you’ve left, you have 48 hours to get back to them and help. This is teetering on… “fill in the blanks”…. and not even enforceable!
Who do their lawyers think they are? Very thuggish! I asked others that were laid off with me and they had similar language. And one that worked for 3 years only got 2 weeks worth of a paycheck.
This is all provable and true! To those of you still there, this is how they treat you after years of service, that’s if they don’t put you on a CAP or PIP to manage you out like someone said in a post on the UHG link here. They did this recently to my friend who worked in UHC for 25 years!

With UPMC announcing layoffs today, will Highmark follow? I pray the answer is no.
Layoffs are rolling through STL Operations last week and this week. So far I’ve heard of three in Ops Technology. Rumored 15+ in what used to be Data Quality… possible more.
All of this after the Senior Leadership was cut in half at the end of March and EFX reported one of their highest grossing quarter?
Equifax continues this trend after every fiscal year end of getting rid of not just tenured people but highly knowledgeable and people who’ve whole heartedly dedicated their career to Equifax.
Wonder if anyone from the old TAX days are still around OR if they’re next on the chopping block.
Anyone know?
I’m doing the work of two people.
Commuting in to an office to sit on zoom all day is expensive and depressing.
We do more and more hard work while org leaders reap all the benefits. Nothing trickles down.
I’ll just hang out doing the minimum until I’m laid off.
all gift officers were given notice yesterday
This morning's memo from SK is effectively confirmation of everything we have been discussing. In corporate communications, an executive letter like this is called a "Pre-Announcement Framework."
When a CEO writes a long, weirdly emotional, metaphor-heavy letter (the fishing analogies, "caring family," "peace of mind") to the entire continent, it is designed to soften the blow for what is coming next.
Strip away the awkward language ("gently turn," "beautifully evolve") and look at the cold corporate math, this letter lays out the exact roadmap for the upcoming RIF. And it was painfully obvious.
you do not want to work at dell and you dont want to invest here. get out
Well, what leaders, especially certain SVPs, VP’s, and Sr. Directors, have been waiting for has happened. The $100K H1B visa fee has been blocked by a Federal Court. The wheels are already turning in RR and Austin to start lining up all the relocations from India to the US. While those are in process, a new large round of US citizen layoffs is in the works. My SVP is an Indian, and I just overheard his conversation with his Indian Sen. Director to start looking at Bangalore candidates to consider moving. It’s never going to end!

Laurentian University recently completed final severance payouts to former employees. These payments arrived years after their 2021 termination during CCAA restructuring. Creditors, including former staff, received 25 percent of their original owed amounts. The university sold property for $53.5 million to fund these distributions. This marks the final step in a lengthy and difficult insolvency process.
