#layoffs

For those recently laid off that are bonus eligible, did they give you a bonus for all your 2025 work or offset you not getting one somehow?

If you were displaced in January, do you still get a bonus?

Initial unemployment benefit filings in South Carolina decreased last week. The U.S. Labor Department reported this data on Thursday. New jobless claims in the state fell to 1,970. This was down from 4,170 claims the previous week.

Is she just a cheerleader and goes around doing meet and greets since she has failed at all her jobs and others had to take them over. Why is she still around while other real working and accomplished people are being laid off ?

It looks like the rumors were true. Employee match on retirement was reduced to 3.5%. That flew right under the radar.

Minimal/no raises or bonuses. Employee match ~50% of what other large companies offer. RTO wasted time and expense for no reason. No major benefits. Even OnePass has become outrageously expensive. From a FORTUNE 3 company. Absolutely disgusted.

The latest round of layoffs across tech firms in the Bay Area and beyond has reignited talk about a possible “jobs recession” in the tech world. Seeing so many companies cut staff in such a short period of time has shaken confidence, especially for workers who once saw tech as one of the safest and fastest-growing career paths.

Any insight into 2/5’s layoffs? Possible departments, etc.?

Marblehead anticipates an $8.4 million budget shortfall. Town Administrator Kezer expects over 50 town employee layoffs. Service reductions and delayed capital improvements are also likely. Kezer likened the financial situation to the 2008 recession. An override vote is being considered to address the funding gap.

Word on the street is, OSM/ITOM is losing one of its biggest customer SocGen aka Société Générale, to ServiceNow?

I have been told they make up, upto 30% of the revenue.

Major blow! Transition will take approx 3 years.

Transition to AI or get purged, was this the Fran message….

I know this is not layoff related, so feel free to ignore it, but my current role and environmental in the BGCO feels toxic. I want to look at other BGCO roles and was thinking about the advanced solutions team. Does anyone have any insight into that team or know if they are considered a part of Dans future plan? Are they likely to have less layoff impacts because of what they do? Is the environment a good one?

The Seattle area recently shed jobs. This marks the first job loss since the pandemic began. The region had previously added fewer than 15,000 jobs in 2024. Further details are behind a paywall. The Puget Sound Business Journal reported this development.

May is going to be brutal. Especially for long tenured employees. George has hitched the wagon to the AI bubble which is in the process of deflating. If only we had invested in innovation instead of claiming NFS is a foundational technology for AI. Management only cares about the stock price.

Paying a non-ceo $15m with the company and stock in this state seems irresponsible, at best.

Very good source if mine told Sampath was getting axed. And March layoffs are mostly around senior management

Kent Hollenbeck was impacted by Amazon's latest layoffs. He served as marketing and brand lead for fulfillment technologies and robotics. Amazon plans to eliminate about 16,000 corporate jobs. This follows 14,000 job cuts in October, totaling 30,000. The company aims to strengthen its organization and reduce bureaucracy.

How do you reduce costs to raise your stock price - layoffs! Strap in.

Nielsen announced the COO resigned for personal reasons then the stock market immediately plummets. Lowest than ever: around 12 dollars.

I've attended a few Leadership update calls since Dan announced results and I've heard the phrase 'find another gear' or similar used a few times now.

Do any of you have another gear to go upto? I don't know about y'all but since VSP & the last round of RIFs, I've been in top gear constantly covering my work and that of several others, and have nothing more left to give, I'm burnt out.

I guess they expect me to give up even more of my own personal time to help Dan get his payout. It ain't happening!

Kyndryl is a terminally ill patient dying by a thousand cuts awaiting for someone to pull the plug and take it out it’s misery.

The potty training by chief crybaby Turdledge is the last bowel movement before its lights out.

With all the news about Paramount and their layoffs, the original Skydance has seemed to be left out in the cold. Are all the employees there being folded into Paramount or are they slowly going to be let go?

Skydance was mismanaged from inception with money infused to make it look successful now with Ellison spending his time ruining Paramount / CBS and whatever he can get his hands on will that leave the original Skydance and the freshly remodeled offices to eventually close and move whomever is left to the Paramount lot.

My ex colleagues I talk to are miserable as there is no direction.

Who's ready for March layoffs?

Historically it's always been February and August when Dell does their heavy "cleanup" and then with light sweeps in between.

Mav is behind schedule and I'm 100% positive it will not be ready by May - when JC wants it to be lol... It's too important of a project - that will likely fail - for dell to worry much about layoffs on a larger scale, anyways.

Sales has already been given a dog sh-t COMP so clearly the goal there is to force resignations and/or put a LOT of people on PIP's.

IF Dell's true headcount number is 90k, then we are just about there as of now.

The large scale FEB/AUG layoffs IMPO aren't needed anymore as they are super close to their goal now, and there isn't much reason to have 3k+ layoff cycles that make the news anymore.

Some orgs are likely being hit now but, I'd imagine it's far smaller than years past.

This forum will get very busy in Q2 - just get ready.

Boston Public Schools projects a $53 million budget shortfall. The district initiated a partial freeze on new hires. It impacts positions in schools and the Central Office. Three schools are closing, and up to 400 educator jobs could be cut next year. Rising expenses and expired federal pandemic aid cause the deficit.

Especially those going through a rough time. I hope you all find decent jobs soon. And for the rest of us - don't try to prove yourself. It never matters in the end. All you'll be left with is the regret of working so hard, sacrificing your time, and giving your life to a company that never valued it.

Does anyone have a clue what we can expect? My guess, or maybe just my hope, is not a major round, but some scattered layoffs to fit the new org structure.

Confirmed layoff next week before the All-Hands. Have now heard it from multiple sources in my organization. Don’t know the scale but know 2 members on my team that are impacted.

Very disappointing, I hope I get selected honestly. I’ve been meaning to leave for a while and it would force change in my career.

Naples Grande Beach Resort will temporarily lay off 235 employees as it closes for a major renovation beginning in early April, according to a filing with the state under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

Why is Medidata, or even Dassault Systèmes, not being honest about zero profits and all the layoffs? A major reorg happened and another round of layoffs of very seasoned, high paying roles (yet again) just happened.

This company has the worst leadership and bad senior hires in the last 2 years, and the signs are pretty clear.

I am hearing rumors. Do you know what's going on?
