Meeting in Bedminster today with "Important People"

So the meeting today in Bedminster was with many managers and other higher ups. The layoff rumors appear to be true, if anything this may just be like some other past RIFs. You get noticed then you have "X" amount of time to check for another position. Not surprised, we arent making money and they need to cut


** Dropping

I am a manager with a team taking calls for a big mutual funds client.. It was not communicated officially but there is chatter that they don't want our service anymore, looks like it's a done deal. We don't know if that means layoffs for all our teams... Zero official communication and the team morale is below zero. Anyone got any more information to share about this?


Whatever happened to the mid-October layoffs rumor?

If it turns out to be true, that means we’re sc--wed this coming week. I really hope the part about only managers being affected is accurate. But given the current state of affairs, and all those inspiring news headlines, I’m afraid it may end up hitting everyone. However, the only reason I’d be upset about losing this job is because there’s literally nothing out there to fall back on.


Layoff Today

You will be laid off today. If not, there is discussion happening today at some level somewhere regarding your inevitable layoff as you most definitely are considered an expendable cost which needs to be cut.


Week of 10/20

Talked to a Director today. They are requesting that directors are in the office on Mon & Tue (w/o 10/20). It's mandatory. Well know about layoffs after those meetings as I am sure it'll leak here (it did last time). It's so exausting to wait for things like this as I feel powerless and there is nothing I can do, you do good work and you can still be axed. I guess that is what capitalism and free market requires and I get it, but on a personal level it's just hard.


Any new info about the layoffs rumored around the 20th?

I’m remote, and honestly terrified we’ll be among the first on the chopping block. If anyone has credible information, please share. There are so many rumors flying around - mass layoffs, HQ-only cuts, even a possible private equity acquisition. It’s hard to tell what’s real, and even harder not to expect something bigger lurking around the corner that could hit us all hard.


Upcoming Layoffs - What to Expect?

I am really worried that I will be laid off this year. I’m seeing all the signs of a company wide cut from TR and I’ve been here 25+ years. Performance has been good but they keep changing the standards and performance measurements. How do they usually do these things? What process can the unlucky expect?i


Be prepared

Business Retail and TfB layoffs have been rumored since the IT layoffs in August. If it is going to happen, timing wise it makes sense to wait until after the holidays.

Everyone sounds surprised when this happens! It is the new world order. Expect it to happen and be prepared by saving as much money as possible. Keep your expenses down. No credit card debt, no car loans. Live modestly. Keep your resume updated. Keep your professional network current/ relevant.

I started investing a piece of my salary each paycheck into an index fund for emergencies like losing my job. It has grown into a years salary overtime. If I never need it will be for retirement.

It will happen. You will lose your job. We all will eventually. Don’t stress or lose sleep, be prepared!! No one is coming to save you!! Have a plan, especially if you have a family.

This is not a TMO thing, or an IT thing, it happens everywhere and will eventually hit everyone.
