Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating Aludyne Inc. after reports of a potential mass layoff in Columbus, Georgia. The WARN Act requires advance notice for major layoffs, and as a result, some Aludyne workers may be entitled to 60 days of pay and benefits.

The Arizona Schools for the Deaf and the Blind board voted to move its Tucson campus. The campus will relocate to Oro Valley next school year.

Verizon has conditioned me for panic. An unexpected invite from my manager? My stomach drops. A sudden team call? I assume it's bad news. The constant low-level te---r is the new normal.
Queue more layoffs to compensate.

Am I the only one who thinks there is way too much reliance on layoffs lately? I like my job at Xylem, but it's been a while since I felt like I have any kind of job security. This wasn't the case always. Now I'm even considering looking for something else, even if I do like it here in general.
Solano County is facing mass layoffs. The county has experienced multiple job cuts. More job losses are possible. Leaders across Solano County are responding. They are addressing this recent wave of layoffs.

I've heard that the beauty merchandiser positions at many stores are being cut. I don't know exactly how true this is throughout the company, but it is certainly true for our store. Our beauty merchandiser was moved to another position, and the beauty merchandiser position was cut. From what I heard, the position may still exist at a small number of stores, but that most of the positions are being cut.
Again, this is just what I have heard. If you have more information, please post it to inform others. I just wanted to give everyone, especially current beauty merchandisers, a heads up just in case.
Usually, I have no issues with self-motivation, but this last round of layoffs has made me especially disheartened. It’s getting more and more obvious by the day that this company cannot be repaired. Giving up on people, cutting back on business hours, switching to cheaper technology tools, and on and on and on…that does not signify a healthy company that is expecting a bo-m.
What are you doing to stay focused other than making sure you can pay your mortgage/rent, feed your family, etc.?
I tell myself that I am going to start job searching, but I’m just totally wiped out by the end of the day to put any serious effort into it.
I feel trapped. I have no idea what is next. So much for “nothing is changing other than the company name on your paycheck”. One of PK’s great lies.
My head is spinning with all of this uncertainty and constant change in priorities.
Everything s*cks so bad, it’s only going to get worse from here.
REG was a terrible purchase. The bio market is completely tarnished and I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of the plants shut their doors.
We have no control over leadership decisions but we do have control over keeping our skills up-to-date because as history has shown rapid decisions, knee-je-k decisions, and lack of understanding creates constant change. Maybe this video might help you understand - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfjGZCuxl-U
After layoffs, cyber is hiring over 47 positions mostly managers
It would be better to layoff people who don’t want to be there. The people who are cheering for layoff because they don’t like being there. These are people they should pick for layoffs. They are going to leave anyway. They are not motivated. Have low morale because they don’t like the changes. The people remote also qualify for layoff. People who have average of 2days or less RTO should also be qualified for a layoff. People who have been at walgreens for years and have a high salary should also qualify for layoff. People close to retirement should also qualify for a layoff. Managers that don’t manage and don’t contribute should also qualify for layoffs. Overall, I think we may have 1500 people like that. Then what you have left is people who wanted to stay and like to work.
"Confirm eligibility as a dependent of a Wells Fargo employee with required employment status."
My child is applying. Deadline February 26th. If they are awarded this year, and I get displaced after they are awarded..how would that work? What if I'm displaced and then they are awarded, are they no longer eligible? (Unless I'm in my 60 day non-working employee period). I ask because I'm 99 percent sure my displacement will happen between March and June of this year. Thank you in advance.
Heard massive layoff coming in CIT
From the 8K filed on Wednesday: "The firm employed 7,773 associates as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of 4.7% from 8,158 associates as of December 31, 2024, and 0.7% from 7,830 associates as of September 30, 2025"
No point of layoffs if they replace with new people. So they won’t. They are going to try to reduce costs if they laid off people. Some people think that they be safe if they survive layoffs. So they keep asking on this site “are there any layoffs?” and participate in rumors about it. Even though you don’t get a layoff, your workload will increase. Believe me all this types of conversations and any decisions will just make the company sink.
I feel a mass exodus from my location. Nobody likes a layoff obviously but the workload had tripled for some as myself. Yes, the stock went up but at what cost. Fire all those people just to hire them back as contractors and paying them more! Should've spent a little time weeding out the ones not performing and those not doing their work from home! Just the lazy one working from the house could've made up for the 15K.
I found this response from the post titled "R2 layoff chatter is fake news" from earlier today
"@OP I was in Finance. Until they asked me to move to BR, then offered me the standard year buyout since I decided not to move to the armpit of the world (that information should tell you my level.)
There is another five-figure layoff coming about a month post consolidation. Then ~5k in Q4 again. That was plan A. Plan B was ~5k now, and five-figure in Q4, depending on how well QAM-less TV goes (how many onshore engineers they need to fix things) and how quickly/easily Frontier comes online.
Don't forget the 6k heads from Starry, as well, that'll be coming in April. Which will not be profitable, and will fold like a cr-ppy pair of BlueJeans. Or the brilliant Lowell acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo.
Target HC (the key metric for layoffs) is ~78,500 heads.
I just accepted an offer with a growing company (more money, but have to be in office; can't be perfect, I guess.) Cashed out my (frozen, small) pension and stock together awards to an IRA, with stocks that actually perform.
I enjoyed the semi-continuous axe swinging for my 26y, made good money (but not great, after testing the market), left with a fat check to go make more elsewhere.
Telecom has become a race to the bottom. That'll necessitate less HC, lower salaries, and smaller businesses. You're going to see more reductions, with a far smaller RIF package in the future. I worked through the BCs. It's coming.
Couldn't be happier to be out..."
Anyone else who was laid off on 12/19 get their cell phone shut off? I tried calling 800-922-0204 and it referred me to the VZ internal website that I can no longer access
It’s going to be a massive restructuring followed by years of downsizing as more and more customers move to inexpensive and better quality AI tools. They are trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the sales force in Q1 and Q2 before they have a big layoff.
Looks like Aetna has layoffs. Anything on the PBM/Retail side?
No matter who is to blame this is the greatest share destruction of a fortune 200 in the last decade. Mike and this leadership team is going to be under pressure to start showing results soon.
I can only imagine how the people cut this week are feeling. The rest of us will probably spend it consumed with anxiety over next week. About which we still know almost nothing. What a way to treat people.
Q1 2026
I’ve seen posts about Marketing and Global Distribution. Any others?
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey will lay off 242 employees by April 26. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing confirmed this. The cuts slice away nearly 5% of the company's U.S. workforce.

The company has been in a literal perpetual layoff cycle. A perfect record for outflows, constant executive turnover. Demolishing 2 of your newest buildings. Yet somehow giving himself a MASSIVE raise all while ruining people’s lives none stop! These people must be held accountable at some point. Hopefully karma can help but it surely doesn’t seem like it will.
I have been around Nike for a bit and it seems when leadership all disappear layoffs happen. I noticed this happened this last few weeks in NXT anyone notice the same thing happening?
People were cut across some businesses .. what have u guys heard? I saw and heard people where I am pushed out
