#layoffs

Heard that big layoffs are coming in next couple of months ..
And one more round before the end of financing year .

"Reduction in workforce" dropped around 15-20% of their employees at the Chandler, AZ. Advantest Location and Fremont, CA..

Is there any truth that an EIPP will be offered to coincide with the management RIF?

They gave us 90 days to find an internal role. This period is with base pay and benefits. Then 3 months severance package.

Any info on when the fun will begin?

Bank First will lay off 47 employees in the coming months. This action follows its recent acquisition of First National Bank and Trust.

Can we assume the cutting is done for a few weeks at least, or should we still be on high alert?

Did I miss something? Was this announced? Expected? I feel sick to my stomach because I honestly had no idea this was coming today.

Amazon is closing all its Fresh and Go stores nationwide. This decision will result in 516 layoffs in the Sacramento area. Three local stores in Roseville, Citrus Heights, and Elk Grove are affected.

Is it true that construction is the next big hit coming? Heard it was???? Anyone have any news or rumors?

Zipcar will no longer maintain a separate corporate headquarters location at 35 Thomson Place, and the corporate roles based at that location will be eliminated.

It took a while. The financial turmoil is going to reveal a lot about a decade of corporate failure to strategize. I suspect we'll also discover that discarding human capital, treating people as a low-value input, has always been the stupidest mistake, driven entirely by short-term greed. A textbook example of cutting the branch you are sitting on.

Writing on the wall for GVS and mid market reps RIP

Eight Michigan employers announced plans for 1,707 layoffs in January. General Motors accounts for the largest portion, cutting 1,140 Detroit workers. GM cited a production schedule adjustment due to slower electric vehicle adoption. Other companies include UPS, Post Consumer Brands, Utz Brands, and Yanfeng. These job cuts are based on Federal WARN Act notices filed with the state.

Dow managers will decide who to lay off based on complex factors like personal disputes, retaliation, maintaining dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often stemming from cycles of stupidity , lack of opportunity, trauma, and loyalty, with layoffs often escalating through social contagion and misidentification in social networks.

Mettiki Coal issued a WARN Notice for its Mountain View Mine. The company plans to lay off all employees and cease operations. Nearly 200 workers will permanently lose their jobs. Production will stop immediately, with full closure by April 1. Reduced demand from a key customer made the mine unviable.

More than 200 different job titles are impacted, according to the filing, including analysts, engineers and technicians, as well as directors and managers.

The cuts targeted nearly 210 senior- and director-level employees, plus seven employees with vice president or senior vice president titles. They include a senior VP of talent and four VP of legal affairs roles.

I’ve learned the hard way over my career that stressing over a job takes a devastating toll on your health and well-being. We also know performance has little to no impact on who gets laid off. Believing you can curry favor by working yourself raw, only to feel guilty later for not doing enough, helps no one. Do the bare minimum professionally, but don’t go the extra mile. Always be on the lookout for other opportunities. Don’t take anything personally, and stop stressing about office politics or the next potential layoff. Be good to yourself.

TX A&G department got lay offs, no more coming as of now. Happened today.

Liquidating departments as we speek

I never expected all these recent decisions and developments to lead anywhere good. I’ve finally landed an interview for a decent job. It’s not much of a pay raise, but it looks far more stable. I hope it works out, because staying here just waiting for things to get worse until the axe falls is a disservice to yourself. I’d recommend putting your own interests first. Maybe the rumors about immediate massive layoffs aren’t true, but they are coming. Oracle has become a hot mess, and we’re the ones who’ll end up holding the short end of the stick.

The philanthropic organization, formed by Meta cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, is cutting about 70 jobs, or roughly 8% of its workforce, a CZI spokesperson confirmed to Fortune. The layoffs happened primarily at the organization’s Redwood City headquarters in San Mateo, Calif.

One, two, three
Two chairs—the music stops.
Follow the decree:
One of you will drop.

Central, East, West—
You’re safest in the middle.
This isn’t a test,
Or a well-thought riddle.

Experience used to matter.
Results were once measured.
Now talent’s grown scattered,
And good work? No longer treasured.

Does it end with you or me?
Customers first, the message repeats.
Hello, goodbye—latest casualty.
One less chair—fewer seats.

Did you see the culture survey?
Breakfast and mingle with leaders.
RTO and layoffs underplay
The truth beneath the speakers.

Am I the next to go?
Be cautious of the meeting.
Does anyone know
When comes the next reaping?

One, two, three—
Only one chair left.
You’ve been set free.
You can drop the heft.

at least 20 people just got laid off in the QA department (me included)

anybody know if intake may be affected ?

Been told will end of Q3, all supporting roles, most of middle-management will be cut, and most of Presales - will go away too, and rest centralfised to Egypt. Savings everywhere. First they assessed all middle-managers M4, M5 and M6 if needed. And you know answer.

Have a read in the link below, what are your thoughts on this article? "If overhiring or underperformance was the true problem, /…/ the companies should question their leaders, who green-lit the overhiring and may have failed to develop productive roles for their employees." https://thehustle.co/originals/why-layoffs-dont-work?_bhlid=21e02204eafb215d6fdabdea39d43e71e0027ce2

Good luck all. The C-level execs need new yachts I guess so sc--w the employees.

I didn't get the email this time around.
Are more cuts due this quarter?
What are people thinking?

Looking at this article: https://www.indmoney.com/blog/us-stocks/oracle-layoffs-30000-employees-to-lose-jobs, here are the roles most affected by the upcoming layoffs:

Who Will be Impacted By Oracle Layoffs?

The layoffs are expected to primarily impact legacy software roles and overlapping support functions, while AI, cloud, and core enterprise teams are likely to remain relatively insulated.
Roles likely to face pressure

Legacy on-prem software support
Overlapping management layers
Non-core operations tied to older product lines

Roles likely to be protected or expanded

Cloud infrastructure engineering
AI and machine-learning teams
Enterprise sales and client delivery
Security, compliance, and data governance

This points to a reshaping of the workforce rather than a retreat from growth.

Does anyone actually make it to retirement here? Everyone I have known left on their own because of their managers, laid off or given a VERP option. The only people who made it to retirement are admins and Senior Execs.

What day does the Michigan Landmark market close? Have you guys received notice yet?

The email on 1/29 from the HR boss said: “In addition to those colleagues who chose to participate in the latest Voluntary Retirement Program, we plan to reduce our global workforce by approximately 2,000 roles (less than 3% of the enterprise) by the end of February.”

All the teams I’m aware of were cut between 5-20% on 1/29. So how is it possible that Cigna is cutting LESS THAN 3% of employees? Were there a lot of areas that didn’t have ANY layoffs? If so, which ones?

It seems like more than 2,000 people were laid off just on 1/29. And more layoffs are coming in Feb. based on the email. I don’t get the math unless they’re outright lying.

How many US employees will be laid off when AP moves to India?
Getting vendors paid in a timely manner is hard enough now, what will it be when moved overseas.

Things have been quiet but we know budgets are still tight and headwinds are only increasing. Something is definitely brewing. How likely is it that they offer a VSP to push out more expensive employees? I recall a post here from a few months back that mentioned this being a possibility. Any new thoughts?
