#layoffs

2u seems to be targeting US workers for layoffs while sparing foreign workers. This is considered anti-american bias. You can file a charge online at eeoc.gov **search for how to file a charge of employment discrimination.

You all should consider it. I have never seen a more miserable (and slightly r@cist) group of people and I’m certain your charming personalities really shine at work. Have you ever considered being enjoyable to be around? If you hate Wells Fargo so much please just leave - go find something you actually enjoy! Create something new! You have free will! Layoffs happen and they su-k and I’m glad that we at least get severance - but some of yall should be fired for just being a pain in the a-s. No one will miss you when you’re gone.

AI/ML Engineers, Technical Managers, Architects, Reliability Engineers, Operations Engineers, Quality Engineers, Software Engineers, Data Engineers, Dev Ops, IT, Etc

Tired of wearing more and more hats instead of the company hiring more resources and constant threat of layoffs? We can no longer voice our opinions. Survey, feedbacks, Townhalls are all BS

End white collar slavery and improve quality of life.

If you go to Citibank layoff site, it seems they are even worse than WF.
their layoff is definitely more aggressive .

Lately I’m seeing H1B visa holders are pulling their unqualified spouses via H4 visas and also pulling OPT visas.
Where they are layoffs locals and our children’s are stressed with unknown future.
GM offices looks like Indian call centers.
How can we stop this ?
Looks like a serious issue everywhere!!

Does anyone know how much John Stankey’s new Range Rover costs? While people are getting cut you can be sure this guy won’t be on the layoff list and will indulge himself in the best luxuries available in Highland Park.

Must say...so many layoffs came and went....there are cosmetic layoff's in his empire but nothing significant. All his directs are still there. It can't be his or his directs' performance..none of them have any kind of pedigree in real data work. The whole thing is a house built on cards that will collapse when there is a proper regulatory exam under a proper administration.
Tim Ryan must be one helluva godfather

After two decades of dedication, I just got laid off. Not because of performance. Not because of skills. But because someone who’s better at playing politics and st-----g the manager’s ego than actually doing the work got to stay.

This is what favoritism looks like in real time — managers protecting their inner circle while people with real experience and real contributions get shown the door. And somehow, upper management never sees it. The moment you try to point it out, they go conveniently deaf.

Twenty years. Reduced to nothing because I wasn’t part of someone’s “yes-man” club.

To anyone going through something similar — you’re not imagining it. This is real, and it’s happening more than companies want to admit.

So, finally, it happened.

First, I want to thank Piotr S. for doing what almost nobody else had the courage to do — breaking the silence and speaking the truth. In that moment, you showed more humanity, more integrity, and honestly more leadership than an entire room full of executives combined.

But maybe expecting anything else was naive.

What can you really expect from a CEO and a C-Suite whose success is measured by stock price and shareholder applause? When your stock-based compensation is worth $7.1 million, finding ways to squeeze another 5-6% out of the stock probably feels more important than the lives of the people behind the numbers. And apparently, one of the easiest ways to do that is simple: sacrifice employees. Works like a charm.

And just like that, a 10-12 year organization disappeared.

3M GSC wasn't perfect, but it was built by thousands of hours of hard work, dedication, late nights, friendships, shared struggles, and people who genuinely cared. Overnight, it was dissolved. Why? Nobody really knows. We were told it's a "transition."

God, these people love transitions.

I'm already imagining the next shareholder presentation:

"Expanding AI capabilities."
"Driving efficiencies."
"Transforming the operating model."

Corporate bingo at its finest.

Then came the management communication. Pre-recorded videos. Carefully scripted messages. Smiling faces. Words that somehow lasted several minutes while saying absolutely nothing.

People left those meetings still wondering:

"Am I staying at 3M?"
"Am I moving to Genpact?"
"Why me?"
"Why not someone else?"

No answers. No transparency. No logic.

Just confusion.

The most impressive achievement of the day was probably making thousands of people more confused after a communication session than before it.

A place that grew, evolved, and achieved things people were proud of. Today, we're left with leaders who seem more interested in protecting themselves and pleasing their bosses than protecting their people.

The irony is almost painful.

Some of the people being pushed out today are literally in Warsaw representing 3M at Women in Tech.

Others are leaders in Pride communities.

Others spent years building Employee Experience programs, WLN initiatives, Belonging Teams, clubs, events, volunteering activities, engagement campaigns.

They were the smiling faces in the videos.

The people holding the 3M logo.

The people proudly telling everyone that this was a Great Place To Work.

Seven years in a row.

LOL.

What a joke that slogan feels today.

Many of those same people are now being told they no longer belong.

Years of effort.

Years of loyalty.

Years of believing the company values.

All erased by a spreadsheet.

Management keeps telling people what they think their managers want to hear. Managers tell leaders what they think leaders want to hear. Everyone protects themselves. Everyone avoids uncomfortable truths. The cycle continues.

And the people at the bottom pay the price.

Today many of us feel less like employees and more like livestock being traded between corporations. Packaged up. Sold off. Handed over. No ownership. No accountability. No one willing to stand up and say:

"Yes. This was our decision."

Just another transition.

Another restructuring.

Another corporate success story for the next earnings call.

So with that, goodbye GSC.

Goodbye to the friendships.

Goodbye to the memories.

Goodbye to the culture that thousands of people spent years building.

Whatever happens next, nobody can take away what this place once was.

May the memories never fade.

❤️ Goodbye.

Article from today

Srini purpose now clear? Just like John Legere, get merger done, get big payout.

So sorry for everyone. I hope you find better jobs at better companies soon.

First Genpact, then draining the people transferred there, then knowledge transfer to India, only to at the end not to pay any severance and drag people through a nervous breakdown. Any ex-Genpacter here to contest?

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.

Florida experienced a significant drop in initial unemployment claims. There were 5,167 first-time filings for the week ending May 30. This marks the third consecutive week of declining claims in the state. Earlier in May, Spirit Airlines layoffs caused a surge in jobless claims. Florida's overall unemployment rate has been steadily increasing.

Community Healthlink layoffs have increased to 127. The health provider is an affiliate of UMass Memorial Health. It will permanently close due to workforce shortages and shrinking demand.

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.
