The Antioch Unified School District board approved a preliminary layoff plan. This plan affects about 300 full-time jobs. The district faces a $30 million deficit over two years. Layoffs aim to reduce expenses by $38 million for the 2026-2027 school year. The county office recently downgraded the district's budget certification.

There’s a growing misconception that AI "does the entire work. employees are sitting and watching". In reality, AI is helper not full-performer. Still lots of development requires human efforts. Management is pushing towards AI. The problem is once work is done, you will be first one to be thrown out.

hi, i'm just worried i was saved last year with 3 rating, but i am seeing there will be other round of layoffs june, and on what bases

With the number of major IT incidents after a big layoff event, LC has his whole organization follow his EY friends' direction of making tactical work very visible by spending more time in Azure DevOps (ADO) than actually delivering work.

It's unfortunate that business leaders (as well as his own boss RB) cannot go into ADO and read the ridiculous types of features and stories that IT employees are being forced to put into ADO. A fine tool for developers has been ba----dized into an overwhelming complicated task list, with the CIO having prioritized data quality in ADO as his top item to deliver. There are literally hundreds of thousands of entries, each entry with the expectation of having completeness, with scrum masters and RTEs writing up stories that effectively means "schedule a meeting with stakeholders xyz" with a value of 10 because they had to fill in all these ridiculous fields.

How can RB be OK with this? An entire IT department wasting their lives away..

A lot of people here claim that layoffs are "random" but I disagree. I DO think that managers are told to get rid of certain types of people, though (if they are asked to submit people that is...)

AKA ultra veterans (15+ years at Dell,) above a specific age, low performers, and unliked employees.

I say this because a year or so ago, my team of 12 had two people whom were doing the SAME thing both get laid off at the same time. One was a 6 yr vet and the other was a 20 yr vet but late 50's. Both were honestly annoying af and while good at their job, were difficult to work with and not well liked by most. They were quickly backfilled.

A year later we acquire a new dude who was a Dell vet of 25 years - he was honestly weird af and just... weird lol - who was let go like 6 months later via layoffs.

This was/is a Fed team and one that isn't sales related... Fed is rarely hit with layoffs but it was very odd that THREE people were let go within an 18 month period, all on the same team...

I have zero doubt in my mind that my manager hand picked all of them to be laid off, though. Two were ultra dell vets and 50+ years old, and the other was just hard to work with.

Hey IT people that were laid off. Curious what dept you worked in. Were you CCOE, OIA, Dev, tech support? And can you share what the severance package was? Or your experience leading up to the layoffs?

Sorry again to everyone affected, but since you're no longer with the company, you shouldn't feel a need to hold back info on your previous role. Especially knowing that they let you go to hire a cheaper person from HIH or Ireland to replace you. Feel free to vent, I think it'd be helpful for everyone

Was told we’re “off cycle” for the routine layoffs. Delightful.

And yet, we know that loyalty is rewarded with a layoff sooner or later. I saw some truly great people let go, and I have zero motivation left. What’s the point?

We were informed earlier today that everyone laid off has already been called and no more are expected. How's the thing going in other locations?

I’m really struggling to understand how the DEI leadership is handling these layoffs. Even after all these job cuts, if the stock price still doesn’t reach $400, what’s the backup plan?
It’s disappointing to see a company that was once run so well end up in this situation. It feels like the leadership has put too much trust in a small inner circle led by DP Koka and his Indian friends, and now those same executives are driving these large-scale layoffs. Meanwhile, they’ll likely walk away with generous payouts, but what about the hardworking employees who are losing their jobs? They didn’t deserve this.
It’s frustrating to watch the company go through this, especially when employees are the ones bearing the brunt of these decisions that don’t give any meaningful results in the long run.
It’s hard to believe the CEO isn’t recognizing what’s happening. It makes me wonder whether he’s disengaged or possibly thinking about stepping away, because the current direction doesn’t seem reassuring.
If DP were to become CEO, I’d honestly be concerned about the company’s future. From my perspective, his leadership style hasn’t inspired much confidence, and I worry about what strategic decisions might follow. Overall, it just feels like the company needs stronger, more transparent leadership right now.

Implementation got hit today. Got the dreaded ping this morning. Do they think that they will have AI up and running by October to handle peak? Will welcome calls be a thing of the past and handled by a chatbot? AI may be cheaper, but human connection is priceless. I missed my family during Thanksgiving and Christmas, but that's the beauty of AI, they don't have families, right, Dave?

Someone mentioned in a post below that they were expected to continue though tomorrow. How is everyone holding up?

How do people get picked to get let go? I can understand performance and location. But what warrants others? Are people reviewed and discussed prior? Or is it some high up person tells each manager they need to cut x number of people?

They wiped so many people. Update your resume, find something and Gtfo. If you see an internal listing, it’s a trap. We all sat around and asked ourselves when. When is here. Good luck.

If we were cut today do we still get our bonus?

I get we're not rolling in the bucks but are your teams getting the usual 3% increases? My manager hinted not to expect anything unless you were a 5 or on a visible deal. Are we prepping for RIF 2.0 or just my team isn't getting raises this year

I will miss being told to turn my camera on from my manager while he never has his on.

Interesting to see that MGO is laying people off while at the same time having an insanely expensive love-in in Dallas for three days in May. Flying in everyone from outside of Dallas, the whole thing.

Did this in 2024 just a couple of weeks after another layoff round. This for now at least looks slightly less bad but still. Kind of nauseating watch Kellyn and friends yap about how great everything is after they ax a bunch of people.

buckle up. no teams are protected. more constriction. thank your president for architecting it with all the usual care, concern and thoughtful strategy she typically applies while covering herself

Huge layoffs is being planned, but not sure about the date, Believe within two months for sure.

Hey guys good luck! I just laid off. Cant believe this happened. I made a sale and this time it was legit and not just keyed. 40 minutes later I was terminated. Not sure who is going to ask about security cameras now. Guess I have time now to learn how to tie my shoes

The calendar invite arrived about 90 minutes before the call. It just said ‘Catch-up’. I knew what it was before I even clicked "Join."

My manager was already there but no one from HR attended. He stayed on script—no small talk, just the standard lines about "headcount reduction" and "operating model changes." It was all over in 15 minutes.

There’s something incredibly bleak about being let go from your own living room. One click and my entire professional identity for over 10 years just disappeared. My access was cut before I could send a message to my team. My Citi email disappeared from Outlook on my mobile. My account on the OneNote app also deleted but it left a lot of the data behind lol - meeting notes, PowerPoints etc. So typical of Citi, nothing works properly.

I was left sitting in Tampa in my house with a laptop that’s just a brick to be returned. I woke up in the morning to go to work, i ended the day with no job and no plan for tomorrow.

Anyone hear anything of layoffs in IL and TX? Just had some teammates say they’ve seen folks being escorted out buildings.

Any layoffs updates?

Give high performing employees a severance because they’re paid too much. Hire a Danos contractor to do the same job with much less liability and position cost.

Win/win. Take the severance buddy

I was laid off in December. There was no non compete agreement to sign. I had 4 interviews with competitors lined up after the holidays and accepted a role with one to start in February. I brought all of my knowledge with me. And I’m making 15% more. Life gets better after this dumpster fire.

Large video call and those that were on it, were let go! Not sure how many, but this one is big!

Saw this one coming. 13 or so people gutted from eviCore IT Technical Support. Watch those positions open up at HIH in the next couple hours.

Confirmed in the supply chain town hall today.

The room was quite sparse and "questions" were clearly staged.

OI lay offs starting to happen in marketing.

This is major news Honeywell. Company is going role by role and assessing the roles in new company.

Has anyone been impacted so far this week?

Happening in Medicare

The clinic, which opened in 2022, says it is not in danger of closing. A spokesperson said it will continue caring for about 20,000 patients with roughly 250 employees. Patients impacted by discontinued services will be contacted directly.

Was the Oct-2025 RIF in compliance with the WARN Act? At least one law firm is investigating and below is the introductory paragraph from their notice. I've also recently heard more RIFs have take place this week and do not know the scale of the action. For any current and former Hitachi Vantara workers weigh your options.

"On October 31, 2025, Hitachi Vantara notified the California Employment Development Department of its decision to conduct a mass layoff at its facility in Santa Clara, California. The federal law, known as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, requires covered employers to provide 60 days’ prior written notice to employees, their representatives, and certain government parties in the event of a mass layoff or plant closing. We are investigating whether Hitachi Vantara failed to provide at least 60 days’ notice before laying off 129 employees and, therefore, violated the WARN Act."
