Predictions

Now, I know this is all speculative but I wanted to see what people think if a layoff is coming. If yes, how big is it - 10%, 15%, 20%. I've heard different things in the office, people are freaked out and talking but it's all just rumors so far. Also, which groups will be affected and locations. Good luck all.


I think it's time to move on

I like my coworkers and my work, but I live in constant suspense. Every quarter I’m wondering if I’ll be next. The job market isn’t helping, so I feel like I should start looking now before this company pulls the rug out from under me. It’s stressful living like this.


Dan - Man Up

Ive worked here long enough to sit thru at least 5 strategic shuffles, and I’ve never seen leadership this tight-lipped... All this while morale sinks sooo fast.

Dan keeps talking about building a leaner company and bold changes, but all we get are buzzwords and MORE SILENCE. It’s the same canned lines on earnings calls & the same trust the process nonsense in internal metings... and meanwhile we’re supposed to act like we dont see the layoffs coming a mile away.

Everyone already knows something big is happening by November 20... the rumors are everywhere, not just this site.

Yet instead of addressing it head-on we get happy emails about embracing agility and AI transformation (what the fu-k is that).

People are anxious, scared, updating resumes on company time, and pretending to care about the future vision while half the teams are quietly being gutted.

If you really believe in being a transparent leader, prove it. Stop hiding behind corporate PR.

Tell people what’s happening so they can prepare. We’re adults indeed and we can handle the truth.

What we can’t handle is another round of fake optimism from execs posting champagne selfies on linkdin while the rest of us are bracing for impact.

If this is your idea of leadership, it’s no different from the Hans era - just with better lighting + fewer vowels in your buzzwords.


We Could Have Done the Same Thing

ConocoPhillips is in the process of executing a huge layoff.
One thing they’re doing is offering Expressions of Interest for those employees interested in leaving voluntarily. This will give a number of employees the chance to stay that otherwise would have been laid off.
P66 could have done the same thing but that wouldn’t have caused near as much heartache.


Buyout, not riff

Buyout. No unemployment claims. No discrimination lawsuits. Improved morale for those who choose to stay.
But then, this is Verizon so…
Layoff. Unemployment claims across the board. Class action discrimination suits for each protected class (age, race, s-x). Fear and unrest for the employees not laid off.


Estimate of how many said NO on mobility survey

Rumors floating around that 24% already said NO on survey to Edmonton. Lot of others (including me) are playing for time and decided to wait until final decision time of Jan'26. Anyone has insights how the MC is reacting to much steeper than expected rate? I suspect they dont care ... perhaps they will bring in more expats from Houston to fill Senior Management roles.


More layoffs at National Instruments

I’ve been hearing rumors of layoffs being planned before year‑end. Normally I wouldn’t worry about those kinds of rumors, but I’ve heard the same story from several completely unrelated sources now, and it’s starting to stress me out. If anyone has additional info (or can say with confidence that it’s not happening) I’d really appreciate you sharing it.


Were some people asked to re-interview for their own positions in the last round?

An acquaintance said he was asked to interview for his own position, but he already had something lined up and refused. He was one of the lucky ones who actually wanted to be cut. But is this something that happens? I don’t understand the point of it. I don’t see why he’d lie to me, but I honestly can’t figure out why they’d do that.
