All levels of leaders are gonna be cut. Anyone know when?

How come at the end of 2025 we all got a thank you note saying that we did better than ever and how much they appreciate us, then few month go by and they just sp-t on us? They're reaaaally trying to lose all valued and experienced employees. Is common sense in the room with us?

I feel sad, guilty and burdened. I didn’t choose HR as a career to ruin lives or to help a greedy, mismanaged company do bad deeds. This is not meant to scare and I am fearful to post as I am under NDA but I need to help if I can. In a few weeks there will be another layoff. If you are over 50, overpaid, under performing, or your function can be AI replaced you are at risk. Please be prepared. I will not log into this site again, and I will not be able to provide any more information. I am praying for all of you who may be impacted.

Has anyone heard of any future layoffs for Benefit Verification or Prior Auth reps?
It seems like Health100 is being made to take over the majority of our work.

Employees knew this was coming. Sad day for a (once) great company.

I have noticed several closed door meetings happening in OCI today. Would anyone know what’s it about. Layoffs/ Focal or Reorg

What is currently happening at 3M in Poland looks very much like a mass layoff carried out without formally calling it a mass layoff.

Employees are being transferred to Genpact, where, in practice, their primary role is to transfer knowledge to teams in India. Once that knowledge transfer is completed, people are being let go one by one as their responsibilities disappear. The entire process feels very similar to what happened during the Solventum transition, but on a much larger scale and in a far more explicit way.

What is most disappointing is how people were treated today. Long-term employees who helped build these processes and contributed to the company's success were treated with very little respect or empathy. For many, it was a humiliating and deeply upsetting experience.

It is difficult to watch dedicated and experienced employees become disposable once their knowledge has been transferred. A very sad day for many people in Poland.

Everyone talks about Dell’s stock run and AI growth, but almost nobody talks about the long-term cost of the nonstop restructuring.

The recent numbers are pretty staggering:
• $227M spent on severance in just 13 weeks
• Another $242M already reserved for future severance payouts

And that’s only a small snapshot in time.

When you zoom out and consider the estimated 70,000+ employees impacted over the last 5–6 years, the total severance costs across all these layoff cycles could realistically be in the $2–3 billion range.

That’s an incredible amount of organizational churn that rarely gets discussed publicly.

Wall Street may reward efficiency, but these repeated cuts also come with major hidden costs:
• loss of experience and institutional knowledge
• employee morale damage
• constant reorg fatigue
• disruption to customers and internal teams

There’s a very different story underneath the headlines and stock price.

The number is gigantic

If you have not been offered voluntary separation package how likely is it you would get it if you wanted and requested it ?? >30 years in at ford .

If granted - are there any stipulations ?

That's the question. simple. yes no.

I know this is for layoffs but just curious if anyone else is buying the stock? I got a few hundred shares this morning because it seems to have reached an all time low. I think we have good products and I can’t figure out why it’s dropped so much. I’m wondering what other people are thinking? Maybe I’m completely wrong and this stock just keeps dropping but I thought Enrique was hired to raise the share price. We lost enough value under Mr. Shock the World.

Mike Lyons gets 70 million in year one while cutting staff, forgoing bonuses or salary increases for many if not all, stating market and company talking points around why they cannot spend money. All while taking 70 million 😂

Incredible leadership. Just who everyone wants to follow!

Anyone have any insight? Are teams actively planning for layoffs?

Regardless of whether you are currently in the latest round of layoffs or simply anticipating your turn on the chopping block, consider this thread a sanctuary for our shared grievances. Channel your hatred, humiliation, and the injustices inflicted by your dim-witted yet treacherous and repulsive (desi) colleagues, and manifest them as curses here. Together, our concentrated malice will surely invoke cosmic intervention to cleanse.

The most alarming number in the Wall Street Journal’s “Best Companies for the Future” ranking isn’t AT&T’s overall rank of 375.

It’s the Talent rank of 390.

The WSJ’s methodology specifically looked at hiring, retention, and employee satisfaction as part of future readiness. In other words, human capital.

For years employees have been saying the same thing, excessive RTO mandates, constant uncertainty, forced relocations, and a lack of flexibility are driving good people out the door.

Leadership ignored it.

Now a respected third-party ranking is essentially saying the same thing. AT&T isn’t being viewed as a future-ready talent organization. It’s being viewed as a company struggling to attract, retain, and develop the workforce it needs for the future.

Even Kevin O’Leary (hardly a champion of employee entitlement) recently warned that companies risk losing their best talent when they become overly rigid about RTO and where work gets done. His point was simple - if you make flexibility a non-starter with RTO, your talent pool shrinks and you will only attract the undesirable bottom quartile of talent nobody else wants.

And that’s exactly what many of us have watched happen… I’ve never seen this many experienced employees leave. At the same time, a strict 5-day RTO policy isn’t a selling point to younger workers who increasingly value flexibility and work-life balance, it’s a detractor and immediate non-starter. Nobody with other options will ever sign up for this prison-like micromanagement.

Talent rank 390 isn’t the cause of the problem. It’s a symptom of this bad policy.

You can mandate badge swipes. You can mandate presence. You can mandate commutes, but what you can’t mandate is that talented people choose to work here, or stay here.

At some point leadership has to ask whether a five-day RTO policy is helping build the future, or helping explain why we’re ranked near the bottom when talent is measured.

Why do Regulators even take us seriously?

The solution is clearly more layoffs.

Happening today.

Any cuts?

Is it realistic more layoffs are coming in June?

for this month

I’ve never seen so many coworkers checked out at the same time. After the way this year’s gone, it’s hard to feel supported, valued, or even wanted here. People aren’t talking about growing with the company anymore, all they’re doing these days is comparing job postings.

Why is it always the older, experienced, and high performing employees are shown the door? We have plenty of those who do nothing all day and yet they stay. Why? How come that keeps happening?

And dfs employees are being thrown under the bus and calibrating to below strong.

This is to fill up the pip quota in order to save Cof employees.

Managers in dfs are new to this process so they can’t adequately defend their employees.

Anyone else having a different experience?

Left two years ago, just came back on this board to see if things have improved, and it's clear it's all exactly the same. They're still offshoring everything, thinning out US teams, and piling more jobs onto fewer people. My advice is to leave if you can. The grass truly is greener.

The cuts have taken place, things are where they, hopefully, want them to be, so I'm going to assume there won't be additional cuts any time soon?

The money used to make the stress worth it but weak raises ki-led that advantage years ago. Now there's no path up, no relief in sight, and I'm starting to feel like an id--t for still being here.

Honestly thought they would have dropped the axe months ago at this point. My IM rating was out of nowhere. I knew they basically cut everyone who wasn’t doing anything at all at this point and now have to find others to slash. Haven’t heard any concerns from my boss about performance since the year end review but am still expecting another bad rating based on what thier new process is. I’m guessing I have until September at the latest until they finally pull the trigger but just curious about everyone’s thoughts. Can’t wait until they finally do it and I never come back to this board again.

People managers will either be offered to go back to IC or let go. Is this true? With AI what's the role of managers anymore?

I was cut in the last round, I'd like to see if it's the same as it was then.

I’m an employee who’s been through a few rounds now, and the strange part is how routine it’s started to feel. Once one layoff ends, people don’t really relax, they just start wondering when the next announcement’s coming. Most of us just keep working, keep quiet, and try not to draw attention. Sad.

Expeditors International, the Seattle-area logistics company known for never laying off employees, cut about 230 technology-related jobs in Washington state on Monday, ending a tradition that had been a point of pride for much of the company’s history.

And you know what? For once, I'm okay with that. We have way, way, way too many layers of managers with barely any direct reports who never do anything useful. Getting rid of them will actually cut costs without affecting work in the least. I don't like layoffs, but for once I approve.

if you were/are impacted by the layoff, please reply and keep this post on the top so we can have some ideas how many people they are cutting secretly. Just post your date and your state.

Are we going to see more cuts?
