#layoff

So usually there is a meeting by AVP or above level Mgmt announcing that they are laying off x number but this time around there is no such announcement? Also no word on the bonuses... Seems strange....

I received notice Wednesday morning that my position was eliminated, it is now Friday night and I have not heard from HR regarding what next steps are. Anyone else in this situation?????

Anyone from Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center here on the layoff website? let's start a thread.

Almost 200 people will be laid off... work is moving to other staes

Simon & Schuster Implements Additional Layoffs

https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/99584-more-job-cuts-at-s-s.html

Simon & Schuster announced a new round of job cuts. This follows earlier "limited" staffing changes this week. Approximately 15 employees were affected across adult and children's divisions.

High-profile editors like Eamon Dolan and Colin Harrison were among those let go. These reductions are a response to current market conditions.

If you were previously displaced, did you get your annual bonus? Or do they find a reason not to give it? I had a “meets” rating at midyear before displaced in Oct. so didn’t get an annual review due to the timing. I met the eligibility cut off because I was employed through September 30, 2025. Thank you.

I would prefer not hearing from anybody just speculating, rather people who have been displaced and can speak on experience.

I have been carefully watching the status of RSUs due to being riffed. I have a screen shot of RSU units and estimated value at that time. The severance FAQ document Q.33 indicates that RSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will pay out at their vested rate in 60-90 days after severance.

WARNING: What is not stated .... is that all your RSU's will be frozen at stock value as of 12/19/2025 (last day of employment). Meaning -- what is distributed (arbitrarily and in the last few weeks) is now where near the estimated vested rate per Fidelty in November or December.

The trend has been that the actual term date is the last day of the month following notification date.

Are they paying you through February, or was 1/29 the notification AND termination date?

Just read that Home Depot did a layoff and had an RTO of 5 days a week.......do we think Fiddelke will announce an RTO? I could see it happening as a way to continue eliminating roles rather than doing mass layoffs????

I've over doubled my net worth in the past year while working at Xerox.

I'm not here to boast. I'm simply here to say that, despite job instability, you can set goals, improve your life, and grow your finances.

My salary is modest.

Attitude + Aptitude largely sets our Altitude. Toss in Focus and Perseverance and you have the formula for surviving a layoff and prospering well beyond it.

If I can do it on my salary, anyone can. What Steve does or doesn't do doesn't affect me anymore - and, frankly, I couldn't care less. I took from him his power to hurt me.

Anyway, I pray that everyone here has an awesome year. Let's nail our 2026 goals while Xerox sinks.

Grubhub, now a part of Wonder, laid off at least 10 people from Merchant Network (or whatever it's called now). Many laid off employees had been there 10+ years. I don't think GH will last another two years at the rate Wonder is gutting it of long-term employees.

I doubt there will be any major layoffs in 2026. They want to look good with the old CEO is leaving and the new joining. There are still remote employees around that did not let go. Some they did, wonder their justification?

It was on a Friday afternoon for Monday.

I had been quiet quitting for a 2 years already so welcomed the payout.

Only gripe I had is it was scheduled for 8am.
I remember pinging my manager "really? we have to do this at 8am???"
no response of course.

Anyways, I am in a much better place now. My only regret was staying as long as I did at Dell (4years). I consider it a stain on my resume.

Does anyone know if for those of us that were impacted yesterday if we can still receive a performance bonus for 2025?

Was let go in early December, told I would get an offer the start of January but after calling HR I was told I was still an employee for Jan and would get the offer mid to late Jan but have still not received any email from them and doubt Ill be getting one tomorrow..Anyone in a similar boat get any new info? Thanks.

Saw a recent post on Pepsi reddit where a Territory Manager calls out field sales merger likely happening by this summer which is part of the reason for Company Car removal for all field sales. Anyone hearing similar? Should Field Sales expect things to shift that quickly...

I am getting 22 weeks of severance and I don’t want to lose it. However I may have the ability to come back and am in interviews next week. My last day is 2-6-26. If I ask this new division to wait until the 7 days after I sign my severance to offer me the job, can I keep the severance? I need to work but don’t want to lose the money.

For those who asked to be laid off and got the severance package, can you share how to ask (even though it’s not allowed) and how long it took? Can anyone weigh in on the chances of this happening? Thanks.

Sorry for all the people who were laid off and didn’t want it but hope you’ll find another job which will probably pay better.

Layoffs are expected at Brevard Public Schools ahead of the 2026–2027 school year. According to a Jan. 28 letter from Superintendent Mark Rendell, the district plans to cut each department by 7% due to ongoing declines in student enrollment.

Everyone around me is on edge with all the layoff rumors.

I was completely blindsided. There was never any indication I'd be considered for layoffs. High performer, never had an issue. Over eight years of a great record. For future reference - nobody, and I mean nobody, is ever safe.

If you were laid off you are able to get stip as part of your severance. Is this still happening? Seems like they’re cutting back on everything financially

For those who were laid off, condolences. Don't sign anything without examining it carefully or, if you think appropriate, have an attorney review it. For those with long careers, please invoke the Rule of 70 when discussing your severance. It has to do with compensating tenured employees close to retirement age. Whether they honor it or not, it will give them something to consider if it keeps coming up. Be kind to yourselves. When reviewing your resume, make sure that it is in an ATS friendly format, this will make sure that any AI tools being used to filter resumes will see it and forward it for review. Apply for unemployment too. Remember, none of this was your fault. It will continue to happen to those still left on the field. It ain't over.

I would expect major layoffs before the new dude starts in April

He won't want to be the bad cop straight away so it will be done before then

I repeat take cover!!

Tech will have layoffs in Feb and across Citi in March
OP: @c7+1kg3fma25

The notice stated that permanent layoffs are scheduled to take effect on Friday, March 27, and Tuesday, April 28, at the company’s facilities on Firestone Lane in Kings Mountain and South Dalton Street in Gastonia.

That era has passed. Only leaders with exceptional skills and a high degree of adaptability can save companies and make them prosper now. I'm afraid we don't have that kind of leadership at our disposal.

It’s not that they're always wrong. It's that I've become so exhausted by the constant stress, uncertainty, and pressure that I've gone numb. If my job is gone, I'll just deal with it somehow - bad job market, rising costs and all. I just can't deal with this cr-p anymore.

So where did the across the board layoff mandate come from? Was it from Juan? Is the company's financials on a nose dive? If it's company restructuring, who's the visionary of all these? If it's org restructure, why is it that most teams remain as they are but the head count is reduced?

MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines will lay off 67 workers, effective March 17.
That’s according to a new listing on Iowa WARN.

According to ECMC, the layoffs affect "mostly non-clinical areas."

In a statement, ECMC officials blamed Medicaid cuts, inflationary costs and other financial challenges as reasoning for the layoffs.

Judging by reports, even more remote workers were let go today. I'm so sorry for what we're going through, and especially for those already impacted.

I was a former employee of 35 years at Pearson Vue. I too was let go on the 12th. I gave all my loyal and dedication to this company for a lot of time. I was mortified when I found out that my job had been eliminated due to it being outsourced to India. This will fail as everything else will fail because everybody is just a $to them. This is not the company that I show loyalty to for all the years so I’m OK with leaving as I did knowing that I put my best effort forward. They let a lot of good people that dedicated all their time to helping Pearson be what it is today. So sad. They were so sneaky about how they did the layoffs. Some people still don’t know the total number of employees who were let go. Most of the people who I am aware of were here 15 plus years.

Were any of your teams impacted recently by RIFs or layoffs? Please share the dept/area that was affected & how many reductions.

Can confirm the Detroit plant received shut down notice. Any other plants?

QA for complaints in SLC got notified today that they would be let go by end of 2027. And in a town hall where they showed a map with SLC not on it for core locations and then just moved on like it was nothing.
