Haven't seen this type of post in a couple of weeks " Layoffs coming in (enter month)?

My LL6 who spoke to his LL5 who is married to someone working for Ford Finance said.... so I know this is true!

To date, I would like to know the total number of people who left, finding other employment, retired or left for other reasons other than being layoff. (sickness, death)

It would probably exceed the false claims of layoffs made on this website this year!


Here we go again

Another Sunday, another set of questions about cuts. Remember when we could go months without somebody asking whether there'll be layoffs next week? Good times.


Rumor, signal inspection reduction.

Rumor is the FRA is going to allow for less frequent signal inspections. Crossings will go from monthly to quarterly inspection intervals. Yes this would free up time for signal maintainers to work supporting maintenance of way which is very much needed, but as always this is causing fears of further headcount reductions to the signal dept. What this doesnt address is the constant need for additional headcount for trouble calls. With current staffing levels there still isnt enough employees available for trouble calls.


Convos

Any 15 min Sport Offense Activation Touchbases happen yet? Lateral shifts only? Anyone have a 15 minute TB and a geo shift? Hoping for some good news here LOL


Layoff possibility?

A couple of managers were let go last year on my larger team.
One manager had 2 employees that were let go about 4 months ago.
My manager had a team of 5 including myself.
One of my colleagues has now been promoted to a senior role.
The other 4 of us are at a loss on what’s next.


STOP

If I hear one more “rumor“ on this website of layoffs, I’m going to vomit. I swear to God every month somebody puts up a rumor on here and it never happens. All it does is cause concern for the employees who have been there and are still working. Do you all get off on using scare tactics to freak everyone out? I think you will need therapy.


Best of luck to all of us

The cuts coming on 9/3 are in direct relation to the Q2 earnings call. The RIFs on 9/3 are going to be larger than previously expected because SF has asked her directs to pull forward the RIFs related to “2026 Org Health” targets that were supposed to be achieved by June 2026 into Q3.
