All these layoffs and the stock price is still $283.58. Wasn’t that supposed to fix everything? Lol

In 2024 Canon USA and Canada reduced workforce by roughly 14%. Melville and Boca saw a reduction of almost 150 employees. A North American wide restructuring.

In January 2025 CUSA and CSA merged.

March 2026 Canon USA announces new Americas Wide Production Print

Present Day, two years later. Most jobs eliminated have been restaffed, hiring is on the increase again. Almost a ditto of the COVID layoffs and then restaffing leading up to the 2024 RIF.

Revenue from sales is still below pre covid 2019 levels, staffing has increased, customer service and product reliability are still subpar.

Disparity between OCe management and Japan management still exists, BOCA management and Melville management at all time division.

Americas production print still not offering all the industrial equipment that the rest of world already does, a repeat of 2020 management.

Has nothing changed over the past 6 years. Will 2026 be Groundhog Day all over again?

Is it not obvious how siloed the company continues to become. No, I don't work for Canon, nor do I have any ax to grind, just stating the outward facing facts and observation. Where are the gains from all the restructuring from 2020 to 2024 to 2026?

Does anyone have any details on how many jobs will be lost, when and which roles will go first because of kroger capability centre?

(This was a reply I posted in another thread, but it should probably be its own topic.)

Ever wonder why Cigna, UHG, Aetna, etc. are trying to branch out into different areas?
They’re hedging their bets.

AI efficiency is smallest piece in our layoff equation, but it is giving leadership hope that cuts will help bring profits.

Cigna, as well as every other publicly traded company, is outsourcing (offshoring) tech, admin, call centers, etc. in huge numbers. The remaining US employees are expected to absorb their newly-acquired extra job functions with the use of AI (Copilot in our case). AI is expected to increase productivity of remaining US employees by at least 2X.

As per usual, teams in India will make lots of noise and eat up company resources while providing very little new product and creating extra work for US-based workers.

Ultimately, Shareholders will still be pi---d because Cigna stock prices will continue to slide. The real reason for this slide isn’t is that employee costs are growing. Rather, it’s because health insurance premiums can no longer feasibly grow at the same rate as healthcare cost and utilization.

What we’re witnessing firsthand is an industry in turmoil. The once limitless dollars of the US commercial healthcare membership are drying up at an unbelievable rate. The Boomer demographic is coming home to roost and is destroying the market. GenX and Millennial employee dollars can’t stand the strain of Boomer retirees and job diehards.

You may ask “if Boomers retiring, how does this negatively impact commercial plans?”
The answer is that the US commercial healthcare member/client pays the lion’s share of the US (and the world) healthcare bill.
Providers have prices capped by CMS (Medicare/Medicaid) and many uninsured individuals just don’t pay. So that leaves the good ol’ American employee based plans to pick up the slack. But this golden egg-laying goose has hit menopause. It wasn’t expected so soon or so dramatically.

Employers are tapped out, so premiums can’t increase appreciably.
Individuals are forced to buy super high deductible plans while avoiding wellness visits and out of pocket costs.
Health insurer shareholders will continue to demand cuts until profits are acceptable.
This last thing is impossible.

This industry is no longer viable.
If you’re under 45 years old, be planning your transition. If you’re 55+, pray you can hang on and save.

For those of you who think single payer provided by Big Daddy Government is the answer. Well, just look around at the challenges those socialist utopias are facing and remember that SOMEONE IS PAYING THE BILL and someone else is trying to work a profit. It’s the same p-o in a different bag.

It's amazing how many low-IQ people there are at Dell, many of whom are on this board.

For the last time, once and for all, Dell's medieval RTO policy was NEVER EVER EVER intended to increase productivity, improve team cohesiveness, or any one of the lies and propaganda vomited out by executive leadership.

It was ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS intended to make your life a living he-l, so much so that you ultimately quit on your own. This way Dell doesn't have to pay severance, nor does it have to incur any negative publicity as a result of wide-scale layoff announcements.

It's a BAIN trick. It's greed. It's selfishness. It's a lie, but it is today's Dell. Dell is doing everything it can to reduce headcount at the least cost possible. Get that through your heads. It's the only cohesive strategy leadership has right now.

Any word on voluntary surplus or move notices coming out q2 or q3

For the past year I’ve done such a little amount of work it’s comical. Maybe an hour or two per day. I call into meetings and then play on my phone. I ignore pretty much everything exec management tells us and then cash the paycheck. I’ll continue this until I get canned and if not, I’ll quit once I can’t do this anymore. Two things they’ll not get from me anymore are effort productivity. I’ll quit before I have to do any actual work that would benefit the company. I figure I’ve clawed back about 90k of free money so far from Oracle. Take care of yourself.

The layoffs have begun. Florida regions layoffs has begun and will be announced 3/19/2026 . Last day of work will be 4/2/2026

2025 was entertaining, get the popcorn out for 2026. It should be a doozy.

The federal government is extending its work-sharing program. This initiative helps employers avoid mass layoffs. It supports businesses facing unexpected economic slowdowns. The program is now extended until March 31, 2027. This measure aims to maintain stability for workers.

Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the AI impacts at Cigna?

Every time companies talk about “effeciency” it often ends up meaning fewer people doing the same work. Also with the recent job eliminations and the intense focus on improving effeciencies, it makes me wonder where things are heading.

Not trying to be negative or start rumors, just curious what others think about this. Is AI impacting your role yet? Any thoughts on how this might impact jobs at Cigna going foward?

Guys, there are plans to layoff ‘x’ amount every single quarter. It may be all at the start of the Q or it may be spread out per month. Either way, each quarter is slated to let go a certain amount of people.

I’d love to tell you to breathe a sigh of relief but this will continue for the rest of the year.
Letting go 1000 in one day or spread out over a few months is still 1000 people let go. So don’t think just because its just a handful here and there that its all slowing down.

Layoffs will continue for the rest of this entire year.

Evotec announced a new phase of its strategic reorganization. The plan includes laying off approximately 800 employees. Four company sites will also be closed as part of this initiative. This "Horizon" transformation aims to generate 75 million euros in savings by 2027. These cuts follow 600 previous job reductions between 2024 and 2025.

Enterprise software company Atlassian is laying off 1,600 employees, about 10% of its global workforce. This includes 63 workers in Washington state, primarily remote staff. The company is transitioning to an "AI-first company" model. CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes stated this is about adapting skill mixes for the future. CTO Rajeev Rajan, based in Seattle, will also step down.

When EH first came on, he mentioned how Nike would be turning a new page and lay offs wouldn’t be like the past. More of a restructuring of roles rather than saying goodbye to teammates. Since then, it’s been lay-off after layoffs, more than the JD era it seems. And even with all these lay offs, the stock is lower than it’s ever been. Maybe he was just blowing smoke up our as--s, but makes it hard to trust leadership when they do the opposite of what they promise and then also kicks our stock/part of our pay in the gonads. Just get a double whammy.

I was w/AMN healthacare for 3 years as a certified remote video medical interpreter. I held consistent 5 star rating, so much so that every year my wages were raised, but today , about 200 of us received a bullsh-t internal email , an email that once read , dissapeared. I thought this was peculiar , but never thought it was a worse case scenario.The email was intenionally vague,it said that we were to place in "meeting " status ..I was working right till the time, then after finishing the call, i placed my self on " meeting" i waited along w others in the teams app, suddenly w/o warning , some collegues w sudden sadness starting writing they are letting all of us go...I couldnt believe it ! No , than you, nothing just a lame email afterwards, It was quite sad , we couldnt even say bye to our collegues.I will miss you guys ! AMN behaved like pu----s... I hope that company,

India is the most important region to OT, they are hiring and completely committed to India

No layoffs there

For anyone in North America offices, how likely is Visa to layoff junior engineers?

UnitedHealth Group’s slogan is: “Helping people live healthier lives.”

I lost my job at Optum in 2025 and remain unemployed. As a result, I also lost my health insurance. I cannot afford COBRA, and I have a serious health condition that is currently going untreated. Each month I am forced to choose between paying rent or paying for heathcare coverage.

Without treatment, my condition will eventually become terminal.

THANK YOU OPTUM FOR NOT CARING!

Why is every other post on who said what on some all hands and ask us anything slack…

Can we keep this layoff??

Here is side hustle biz idea… just start an add site; related to VZ…

I've been on vacation for the past 3 months in EU and I've heard rumblings, that there will be layoffs in tech within the next few weeks, can anyone deny/confirm?

It will pause but not stop. Tweaks will continue as orgs/teams align to the new landscape. Larger ones pick up again next year as the Digital strategy and AI rollout continue to expand in these areas:

• customer service automation
• network optimization
• fraud detection
• sales personalization

Look for these types of roles to increase / hire in the coming year:

• AI network engineers
• data scientists
• cybersecurity specialists
• automation architects

Putting this up so it’s not lost in replies. OP: @e2+1kk9gpsf9

Guys, look there is a plan.. plan is signed off (hence all hands today)
The plan is to close, exist or sell most
Of EMEA

I'd be settled somewhere new by now, instead of sitting here praying my number doesn't get called. I don't even recognize this place anymore, and I know it's just going to get worse.

Heard that some people were laid off a few days ago.

Any idea about this?

The ‌move comes as ​the company ​seeks ​to "rebalance" its resources to ‌focus on the "future ​of ​teamwork in the AI era," according to a ​regulatory ‌filing.

Only layoffs will help stock price and exec bonuses.

Are layoffs coming in March?

Funny, I accidentally clicked into a layoff thread from 2019 and started reading. Didn’t realize it was old. The post very similar and relatable to today. It’s been bad for a long time.

Why are there so many layoffs ?

I work mate just called and said he was laid off. Any others out there?

Nothing but a sinking ship being held together by the VA contract. They’re blocking 3rd-party APIs to force everyone onto the Clinical AI Agent, but the legacy code is so buggy (inbox column shifts, read-receipt failures) that clinicians are revolting. If you’re on the legacy maintenance side, the $2.1B RIF budget has your name on it. Management is literally counting your 'AI-generated PRs' to see if they can replace you with Code Assist."

The layoffs are finally happening. They are in line with the perf reviews.
For those of you about to be laid off, we salute you!!!

I was said that ca. 50% of Oracle UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), and Qatar will be cut. This is due the conflict but also full reorg there to align with priorities said during Q3 calls. So sad, for the people.
My friend from Oracle Dubai said, that everyone is looking for a new jobs outside, literally everyonw. That's horrible.

Sabre has turned into a horrible workplace I'd love to leave with a nice safety net. If layoffs are coming, I volunteer.

Alpek Polyester USA will cease production indefinitely at its Pennsylvania facility. This action will result in 100 employee layoffs. The facility is located in Muhlenberg Township, Berks County.

Since the weekend, it's been all anyone in my office can talk about. And who can blame us? We're way past loving or hating our jobs. We're straight scared for our livelihoods. I can't be the only one lying awake thinking about the mortgage, the kids, the bills that always seem to appear out of nowhere. And yeah, I've been looking for other work. And no, it hasn't helped. Just made me more anxious.
