#layoffs

Has the Q1 round of layoffs wrapped up? Are we expecting another round at the end of Q2? What’s the full-year target for layoffs, and how many have already been cut so far? I only saw media mention 1,000 in January, but no numbers for March or the rest of the year. Any clarity?

I think we can safely say that we now know exactly as much about more layoffs as we did before the earnings. Yes, we have some numbers, and we know some changes are coming, but when it comes to when, where, and how many, we're still in the same exact position. Great.

The 19th is just next week. Good Luck everyone!

Anyone know if the JE calendar was updated for the rest of the year? I heard there was something in April? If IT is really moving toward a 70/30 HIH/US split, it seems like there will be quite a few more JEs coming up. Low key hoping I get the axe 😬

Sanjiv just hosted an EMEA Town Hall and announced significant reduction in EMEA workforce. Looks like GNT and Security will be hit hard, possibly including divestiture & partnering with other companies, but no doubt all functions and countries within region will be hit. Hearing rumours of 20-30%.
Now we have to wait in torturous silence until the EWC Works Council consultation process begins and ends. No doubt UK will be hit the hardest due to the significant hurdles in European law making it more expensive to get rid of people there...

For those of us who stayed on to the end of the call whilst the Leadership team didnt realise they were still live, the cat is out of the bag, as they put it!

That's more than enough to go with data centres built and have less laysoffs.

This is the next trend.

Phone skills have been transferring back to FT. Website calls will move back on 03/23/2026. That leaves Retirement and Shareholder calls at FIS. After the filing deadline of 04/15/2026, those calls should move over, that date is not confirmed yet. How will that be announced? Will the remaining employees be given the date ahead of time or will the axe fall suddenly? Have no illusions, plan accordingly.

Has anyone heard anything about OM layoffs? Just seems really quiet in the function…

I want to know if I will be pushed out the door before my last day with pay for 60 days. My official last day stated on my layoff notice is 60 days from Monday. I also want to know if there is any chance they will take back layoff notice and keep me around.

See title.

Any actual layoff news or is this now the RTO complaint forum?

Has anyone heard anything about potential layoffs at the home office? Specifically on the merchandising organizations as supporting teams?

Can people share what severance package they got and timelines or any other info. Thanks

resign from your boring Oracle jobs and pack it all up and move yourself to West Virginia and apply to Coal miners' jobs there. Every coal mine is West Virginia is hiring coal miners right now. These jobs pay high wages and offer excellent benefits, and you can work all the overtime you want to work. You get to work with some pretty cool equipment as a coal miner. The only problem is you have to pass a mandatory and random dr-g tests. Let's face the music about that because a lot of you at Oracle, especially Gen Z's aren't going to pass a dr-g test even if you are d-mb enough to try and fake it.

We know there's another $600M for 'restructuring' left in this fiscal year, and we know another RIF is likely coming in Q1/June. So wtf, when is the axe going to fall next?

the remaining restructuring budget mentioned in report is : $639M

if they target high-pay areas (US/Canada Seniors): The number of layoffs will be lower (closer to 10k–12k) because the $639M will run out faster.

If they target low-pay areas (Global Support/QA): They can easily hit the 20,000 number to reach that 30k total. - this include the 10k from late 2025 as its under the same budget mentioned in the earning reports

here is the break down
$1.6 billion restructuring programme,

Phase 1 (Done) ~10,000 layoffs , $961M - this was late 2025

Remaining
Phase 2 (Now March-May) $639M

if they layoff from low paying areas then yes 20k is still to go , if its higher paid areas
then number will be lower , will see

what do you think ?

so, after Boise, which site is next on the list to close?

Is 3/19 still the next big round? Any insights on which parts of Optum? Specifically anywhere is Optum Health/Care?

This company is begging to be sold, but these Execs have ruined any and all value. The weird old CEO is way over his head. All he knows how to do is lay people off. Should go to Georgia State and take an Econ 101 class. Could only help. He couldn't get into tech.

I just heard a commercial that made me want to puke. AT&T is promoting their 150 year anniversary. DJ said how proud he was of his father's 35 year career with AT&T and how he's been through massive technological adventures. What a joke! Stinky wants you out in less than five years; no such thing as long-term employees anymore. Zero loyalty. Fu-k AT&T!

is whether AI agents implemented over the last 6 months will get laid off too? And in what order? Eg,

• Expensive US based employees first
• then EU
• offshore/outsourced workers next
• AI agents, once nobody else is left

Anyone here anything about layoffs that happened this month?

Guys… those rumors everyone’s been whispering about? They’re actually happening. Tomorrow there’s an emergency all-hands at 10 UK time where they’re dropping the news on how the reorg is smashing EMEA. Brace yourselves.

Are VSPP offers enhanced any or are they just regular layoff/severance package rates?

Have there been any offers to anyone other than Techs?

Akron Public Schools Superintendent Mary Outley proposed a new budget plan. This plan largely avoids staff layoffs. An earlier proposal included laying off three dozen staff members. Savings are found by cutting open positions and delaying purchases. One art therapist will be laid off, and six dean roles become part-time.
