#layoff

I have sent in my paperwork. There is no phone number to call. Email to alumni@xerox.com goes unanswered.
Can anyone assist.

Not sure if mgmt will attempt to bolster the Q4 results with more layoffs. The October 15-20% cuts will be included in Q4 but the goodwill reporting delays cannot be further delayed.

Insights on plans to capture further headcount reductions in 2025?

I read that when Schwab wants you to quit they start write ups and the compliance team starts questioning your every move even if you are doing nothing wrong.

Eventually Schwab sits you down and asks you to resign or else they mark your licenses.

This feels like blackmail, how should one navigate through this situation and how should one answer probing questions from compliance and management?

LCS here. Pretty nervous about the immediate future outlook for my group. Is the layoff package generally 3 months, or more or less? And if you find a job within that timeframe do you have to pay it back? Wasn’t with XOM back during the covid layoff, so just wondering how it all went back then.

You all the layoffs in 2026 will be brutal
We can all feel it coming
Brace yourself it’s going to be bad

Can you all sense it?

Huntington National Bank to begin layoffs tied to Veritex acquisition
The Business Journals
Mon, 01 Dec 2025 20:25:00 GMT

Huntington National Bank is preparing to begin layoffs as a result of its recent acquisition. These job reductions are directly tied to the integration of Veritex. The process of merging the two companies often results in overlapping roles and redundancies. Affected employees will experience job loss as the bank streamlines its combined operations. This move is part of an effort to optimize the workforce and structure following the acquisition.

Laid off as well, interesting package and settlement. The invite is indeed business update confidential blabla. My manager was so nervous, she had to read the message from her screen.I calmed her down a bit and then the word came out: due to intensive investments and business changes..... All opportunities are blocked, all hiring reqs on hold, maybe until April. It's serious now. O wants to scale down.

What areas are expected to be impacted this week?

First day back from Thanksgiving long weekend. Very nice of you WellsFargo.

Any info with facts about any layoffs in Aconex on various teams?

I can tell already this is going to be another useless "training"...

How much longer before you let employees know that we are being sold to another company...

Is it just the year end rating you get? Or something else too?

More and more contractors are being moved to different recruiting companies that will ultimately be their last stop. Contracts will expire and not be renewed and in some cases will be cancelled outright. If you have had three or more different recruiting companies under your tenure with HP then you will likely be next on the chopping block. Your $100,000 salary will be taken from you and fed into Asia.

Just wondering if those who are declining the VSP they are eligible for have a concern about being laid off involuntarily with less benefits.

I’m ready for it to be over. Knocking out new code this morning. Expected to finish projects, migration, and do hand off. Just friggin fire me at this point. 3 more weeks…

Yeah I know man up. I got ya.

1. Were you given the opportunity to retire, and collect your SERMA if you had one.
2. If you did the retirement route, did you also collect whatever weeks of severance that were being offered at the time.

I'm ready to retire after 30 years. I'd hate to wait for whatever package may be offered only to find out I'd be sc--wed out of my SERMA. I'd rather not pose this question to HR.
Thanks.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• oct01-oct29: 1950 layoffs, 1689 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports, no public info about other locations available)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

LOB and number

Getting laid off feels lousy. But on the upside, I don’t have to dread work tomorrow. Usually on Sunday evenings, I feel a spike of cortisol in anticipation of the coming work week. I’m checking my work calendar to see what meetings I have, making my task list, deciding if I need to commute into the office, etc.

Tomorrow I will sleep late and there’s no need to check the calendar. Like many of you, I have to pound the pavement and look for a new job. There’s work to do in updating my resume and searching the job boards, but I’m also going to make it a point to relax a bit and enjoy the down time. I hope you’re able to do the same.

I work in NJ. I have been Riffed . On salary (and working) until 2/16/2026 plus severance for a lot of weeks. IF I take a job BEFORE 2/16/2025, will I lose MY severance? Someone told me that I will . I have NOT confirmed with HR, yet. Anyone know and is in the same boat? Kind of makes me want to hold off looking for a NEW job!!!!!!!!!!! SO UNfair if true!

As I realize that many people will struggle following the recent layoff round, I can honestly say getting that call was a godsend for me. Im no longer feeling the pressure of unrealistic goals and endless meetings. Fortunately for me, securing a sound financial plan over the past 24 years has made it possible for me to make the best of this RIF. God Bless all of those affected and hopes for a brighter future Post Verizon…

I regret every extra minute and every bit of effort I ever put into this job. Stellar performance meant absolutely nothing in the end. At my next job, if I’m lucky enough to find one anytime soon, I’m becoming the master of coasting.

The pandemic lead companies to hire more employees to take advantage of Federal subsidies to keep employees working to prevent an economic crisis. When the pandemic employment subsidies ended the corporate wealth-fare stopped, companies started shedding employees hired and promoted to pad employment numbers and salaries to get more federal funding wealth-fare. That is why companies offered severances or laid off newly promoted non exempt supervisors and new hires or under performers because the profitable federal employment subsidies dried up.

Yes, I too have been hit by the recent RIF after 30+ years. Several of my upper management also got hit. Unfortunately, I believe the severance calculation sheet is incorrect. Don't sign until you know for sure. It is much less than what I was told and the numbers actually don't match salary and the cap of 35 weeks. I've scheduled an appointment with HR, but so far, they haven't accepted. Anyone else seeing this?

Truly sympathizing with anyone who is getting their last regular paycheck 3 weeks from today. The first time I got laid off in 2022, this feeling caused true panic but was short lived. I found another role, and then was laid off for a 2nd time 2.5 years later. That first missed payday after the layoff was brutal. It all worked out, but I am thinking about anyone having to go through this. Exactly the reason why I despise VZ.

Has anyone heard if there will be layoffs in Dec '25 or in Jan '26?

I know. It's because they've blocked access to it from work and put the fear into them that it's hopeless to succeed. Rest assured all Discover employees will be destroyed. Happy Thanksgiving 2025 !!!

Don't overeat cuz you won't be able to run when Capone puts you on a fake PIP to be fired.

How many employees did Basking Ridge office have before Nov 20th layoff?
According to AI, it houses 6000 people. What percentage of the total is the 1319 people they laid-off?
Just wondering, because I read about a WARN Notice investigation online.

https://straussborrelli.com/2025/11/25/verizon-new-jersey-warn-act-investigation/

Those who are looking at the age issue with a class action, is there any room for the stealing of our PTO?

Has anyone else who has been laid off in NJ contacted an employment lawyer?

The notification itself suggests to do so, but I don't know ehere to begin. I have no illusions about retaining my job, but want t9 be clear on certain things. For instance, it sounds as if yo get another job during the WARN period (internally or externally) you might forfeit severance.

How does filing for unemployment work after being laid off from ibm with 12 weeks severance? Has anyone been there before?

Is it true that if you're let go (laid off, not fired) you can never be rehired?

I was offered a promotion but I'd have to move for it. It's not a bad offer, but with all the cuts, I'm a bit hesitant to pack up and move my entire family and then potentially end up jobless. Is this something that actually happens or am I safe at least for a while if I accept?

I hate hearing more rumors about layoffs. Does anybody know where this came from? Any chance it's true or am I just getting stressed over nothing?

I'm done with DXC.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department paused its plan to make layoffs and transition thousands of patients away from county clinics due to “unsatisfactory immigration status.” The decision follows an ongoing injunction to a change in federal law.

Amazon’s record layoff plans this year have already drawn considerable attention, and the latest data shows that engineers at the organization faced a significant portion of the heat.

Nothing before next year, right?

Even today? I keep replaying the next round in my head and wondering when it's coming and how large it'll be and whether I'm actually going to make it through. The worry just hangs around because this place has for sure left a mark on everyone who had to live through all of it.
