#layoffs

I just need them to get it over with. If I’m laid off, so be it. But the constant waiting and stress are wrecking my mental health and starting to affect my physical health too. I need this to be over.

biweekly layoffs.

Lafayette Parish schools may implement staff reductions. Superintendent Francis Touchet will ask the board for authorization. This follows a large decline in student numbers. Student enrollment fell by nearly 1,000 from the prior year. This decline impacts federal, state, and local financial support.

Like a year? How long has it been?

I thought there wasn’t a correlation between layoffs and stock.

Poudre School District faces potential budget cuts up to $17 million. Declining student enrollment and inflation contribute to the financial shortfall. The district's Board of Education is considering teacher layoffs. A formal vote on a "reduction in force" process is set for February 24. The district views this as a preliminary measure.

Having to deal with constant reorgs, layoffs, an increasingly toxic culture, shrinking benefits, and all the other nonsense would be easier to swallow if we were at least paid well. Instead, we’re paid less than most of our competitors, which just adds insult to injury. There’s no upside to working here. None.

I see there were layoffs in several other countries this week, but nothing here, right?

Cubic is looking to reduce their numbers by an additional 100 people as more work is being moved to India.

US offices are being kept in the dark as it seems they have hired a third party who specializes in quite layoffs.

havent heard anything yet

I wake up every day thinking if I will lose my job today. Not how I can service clients. And did she just say everyone will get raises and they will be good? Who is everyone? And in July?

Morning everyone! With the North East set to go live with new structure by end of February can anyone provide updates? Only couple weeks away, how is the transition going? Any head count reduction? How are the employees being treated? Severances offered?

I hear it’s going to be about 300 more people.

Seems brokerage and wealth got hit by multiple flash calls this morning and RIF updates.

Some folks in our team were given 3 months to find a new role within fidelity, contractors are also impacted, post June end it won't be renewed.

Any other BU's impacted?

Company wants to be more efficient so they hire more managers, lay off seasoned/experienced engineers, introduce the "product model" which is great for software developers but slows the rest of the tech teams down/delivers slower results to our internal customers, increase bureaucracy, and gaslight everyone. 15 years ago, this was a decent company to work for. Yeah they did not pay top dollar, but you had the ability to grow your career, work with good people, advanced, and where ok with the less pay because the company valued "work life balance" and did a decent job of investing in skill development/training. You actually felt like you can grow and build something that helps advance the brand, better serve the customers, and where better rewarded with innovative ideas. Now, it is all the bad of the tech world: work life balance out the door, health insurance benefits mid, constant threat of layoffs, a massive slide in technical leadership, a feeling of constant uncertainty/direction, gaslighting, a significant increase of teams backstabbing each other, more offshoring esp with sensitive customer data, political pandering, and paying customer satisfaction at an all time low. Unless it is automation or a way to layoff more people, innovate ideas are frowned upon esp if they challenge the "product model"/hired too many new managers. Current leadership team brags about how they "revolutionized" CVS, yet CVS when they where there, but look how bad CVS has performed over the past decade. I get that the only thing that matters is the stock price because everyone above director is paid with stock shares. I think the reason you don't see higher attrition rate is because the company is still pretty remote/hybrid (good thing they got rid of a significant amount of real- estate or else this would be different). However, there is going to be a strong return to office mandate soon even if the majority of your team is offshore in a different region of the country. If you do not live near an office because you believed the company about working remote, you either better relocate or start looking elsewhere. By the end of the year, there will be a new tech out that will have the ability to better track remote workers/hybrid users and HR is already looking at it as a way to eliminate/reduce remote workers.

Perfectly said, @rh+1kgyvphgn.

Any idea what the offer is for these countries? I am curious whether a lot of my colleagues will take it or not.

What percentage of the company will leave in 2026 due to 5 days in.

Badge in and badge out coming as well……

Anyone else feel like this is taking an illegal turn of directions? Constructive discharge and hostile work environments? Instead of just laying people off the normal way, we’ve turned into this…. I hope that everyone affected will utilize their benefits and protect their mental and physical health. Crazy what is going on after the last few years. I guess this is our reward for being loyal to the company.

Any information on what is replacing stock Together? For certain, the stock grants are going away but don’t know the replacement yet….
We are getting close to announcement time, surely some insider information is being floated?

Cisco stopped calling out LRs but these are happening. Splunk, security and CX are targets with negative growth, and AI doing more of their work. Please comment as you know these actions this week.

Baker McKenzie announced plans to cut approximately 700 business services staff. The firm cited artificial intelligence as a reason for these reductions. The article questions if AI is truly the cause or an excuse. AI is not directly replacing Biglaw lawyers internally. Client use of AI and smaller firms leveraging it may reduce Biglaw's need for lawyers.

If the rumours are accurate, TD has reportedly made the decision to significantly reduce its New Business team — primarily those operating at field level. In effect, it appears the accountability process was STUBBED at that level.

What is notable, however, is that leadership responsibility for growth through new-logo acquisition does not appear to have been treated with the same level of scrutiny. The individual tasked with delivering that mandate seems to have avoided the cull, despite the outcomes not aligning with the original brief.

Whether this results in a lateral move or progression into another senior role, it raises broader questions around governance and performance accountability. When growth ambitions are not realised, it is reasonable to assess whether the issues sit purely with frontline execution — or whether strategic direction, positioning, and leadership oversight also played a role.

In any organisation, sustainable new-business acquisition underpins stability and long-term success. When that engine stalls, the impact is inevitably felt by those closest to the revenue line. Yet growth challenges are rarely isolated to field execution alone.

If product-market fit was genuinely a barrier, that insight should have been formally escalated and addressed through a structured mitigation plan. Where systemic obstacles remain unresolved, responsibility must extend beyond those executing the sales motion.

In competitive markets where alternatives such as SF or DB may already hold stronger positions, the key question becomes whether the opportunity to win new logos was constrained externally — or whether it was effectively STUBBED internally by gaps in strategy, capability, or vision.

When leadership continuity persists despite repeated growth underperformance, it inevitably prompts reflection on how accountability is applied — and whether standards are consistent across all levels of the organisation. All in all, its evident, those that should hold accountability, despite failure are continuously being rewarded and there lies the problem at TD!

Glossier reduced its workforce by over 50 employees. This represents approximately one-third of its total staff. The company reorganised its operations on Wednesday. Colin Walsh, the new chief executive, leads this change. Glossier aims to improve agility and regain market leadership.

The Corpus Christi Army Depot faces potential job reductions. Thousands of jobs are at risk due to military shifts in aircraft maintenance. The depot contributes over $1.6 billion annually to the regional economy. Local businesses and schools anticipate significant negative impacts from these cuts. Community leaders hope these vital jobs will be protected.

Wildlight Entertainment laid off an unspecified number of staff. A core group of developers will remain to support the game Highguard. A former employee stated that most of the team was let go. CEO Dusty Welch previously wished Highguard had been received better. The free-to-play sho-ter had a mixed reception at its reveal.

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and its contractor confirmed recent employee layoffs. Battelle Energy Alliance initiated an Involuntary Separation Program. This program aims to reduce current workforce staffing levels. Fewer than 1% of INL employees were impacted, totaling under 50 positions. The company stated this aligns the workforce with national and Department of Energy priorities.

There is 150 million left in the plan for right sizing the company, that's roughly 1500 jobs

Will this happen before end of financial year ?

PeaceHealth announced the elimination of 94 positions across its system. These layoffs include 26 roles in Bellingham, Washington. The affected jobs range from hospice care to cancer research. The health system cited financial challenges for the decision. These changes are effective starting April 12.

Are they food coordi store going to get cut? Also where is ny DSD?

At this point in time farming out our work is the layoff.

Your comment is below. I wanted to tell you something and make sure you didn't miss it because I really appreciate your insight and hard work.

I said, "You have very valuable insight. Thank you for helping the FE. How much longer does Walgreens have do you think and what types of things do you think will happen in the near future. How do things play out. What clues are you seeing. What is consistent with your prior experience?"

You posted, "Hate to say it, but it won’t function, along with many other teams. It’s far beyond any sort of recovery or miraculous business pivot of the decade fiction the spokespeople are trying to spin and pitch. I work on a very small, but mighty, team that supports FE on all matters of consequence and we still got hit, lost one. It was already severe triage “plug the dam” for years now, laughable really. I rode shotg-n on the very protracted death of another Chicagoland titan of industry and can tell you this is the very same death swirl/playbook all over again. Be warned, this will not be the protracted downfall that was. There’s no financial levers left to pull here to replenish the coffers, which will inevitably spook the Sycs,, ergo more ‘calibrations’ blah blah. It’ll be a sad broken less than skeleton crew up in here by mid/end of Q2 barely KTLA’ing. If you can find an out, by all mean, please take it."

How hard will the layoffs affect headcounts in engineering?

Another round of sla-ghter.

Rumors have been going around for months that layoffs we’re happening in February and sure enough, got the email after hours from my manager’s manager of a meeting first thing tomorrow morning.

I see the quality of work dropped drastically even from those who used to give excellent work. Morale is low! This is what happens when the management is incompetent. Morale goes to -ve in the teams as soon as there is an intervention from neustar.

All rumors were fake. Cisco is growing 10% YoY and stock price is better than its peers. Just see no reason for layoffs or site closings. Would not be surprised if nothing happens in August either.
