#layoffrumor

I verbally heard in a bunch of meetings where Q3 2027 is when contract renewals are going to happen with US and Canadian staffing agencies and given how the CEO and the executives have been rooting for "APAC" (India) and AI. There is a huge chance that they are not going to renew their US and Canada contracts.

So is it still happening on Monday ?

There are no layoffs today. Whatever news is going around is just a rumor.

Any rumors of additional lay offs coming? Everything happening has me on edge.

I've survived eight layoffs over the years, but I've got a bad feeling about the next one. Judging by my manager's behavior that suddenly shifted completely, I think my streak is about to end. I was never as worried about cuts as I am right now.

The rumors are already starting. Which department gets cut next round? And when? Anyone heard anything concrete?

Any rumors of lay offs happening soon? Specifically GO or GM

Plan your exit now.

Very odd it’s not in May, think they’re cooking the books with the layoffs to make the numbers look good? New CEO announcement? New RTO policy?

I m hearing there was another round today .. is it true ?

Heard 10%, what are others hearing?

Is this one of the rare situation where we can already know that if we didn't get a notification, we're safe?

I've been running scenarios in my head for days. If I get laid off next week, what do I do. I have some savings, maybe two or three months worth. I could pick up some consulting work, maybe. My partner does work, but their income alone wouldn't cover everything. We could sell my car, move to a cheaper apartment, ask family for help. But none of those are good options. I'm realizing I'm not as prepared as I thought. So I'm asking genuinely, what's everyone else's plan B? Are you ready for this, or are we all just hoping we'll be spared?

invites go out today/tonight in the US. Unless you already had a scheduled 1:1 this week with your notifying manager, in which case they should have moved your 1:1 to tomorrow, and you will be notified then.

So danger zone if:
You get a 15-30 minute invite for a 1:1 with your manager or your skip for early tomorrow local time.
You had a 1:1 with your manager this week and they moved it to Thursday with no explanation.
Your skip level (or their boss) schedules a team-wide call (your entire team and possibly your manager is impacted)

Americas notifications are to be wrapped up by COB Thursday. If you don’t hear anything by Thursday COB you are likely safe.

OP is @a7+1krhpzg3b, bumping it for great info.

Any idea if they will promote this soon?? I’m putting bare minimum effort and I don’t feel like putting that sh-t anymore.

Everyone in the office is talking about looking at other jobs bc they’re stretched thin. Critical team members openly talk about interviewing elsewhere.

Now that the sale has been completed and continued work load being taken off the field force is another layoff of the field in the plans

question from my manager today, so it's coming soon. JVB org. I was non-committal but am leaning that way.

They are simply kicking tires before the real run. Good luck.

No change means massive change ahead

or this quarter?

Speculation about Amazon layoffs is growing online. Multiple Reddit posts claim employees received role-elimination emails. These reports originate from various international regions. Amazon has not officially confirmed any new workforce reductions. The company previously denied earlier layoff rumors for May.

Do we know what it will be? I'm a relatively new hire, so I'm not sure if that puts me at higher risk. Is it last one in, first one out or performance based or something else entirely?

Any truth to this? Could be legit given end of fiscal and upcoming earnings.

Looks like nothing is happening. We live to stress another day.

I keep seeing things that make me think there will be layoffs this week? Does anyone know anything?

Why do we have both dates mentioned for layoffs? Or will layoffs actually happen on both days? I'm stressed and confused.

For so long this was the rumor. Meanwhile, nothing.

Is anything happening this summer?

Many people on my team in cyber are worried they’re next. Some well loved employees have already been let go and no one feels safe right now! One person told me they think leadership will replace her by moving her role to India. Has anyone heard anything?? They’ve made poor decisions already on who they decided to lay off.

At Western Union, the vibe has changed completely over the past few months. Teams are thinner, expectations are higher, and there’s a lot of silence from management after recent internal emails.

FA managers got the email this morning - start FY26 Performance Evaluations as part of the alignment effort. Manager ratings to be review by leadership. Not stated, but expect a “rack and stack” of employees to be part of the process. Evaluations to be completed by June 26. Is this preparation for the next round of layoffs?
