#layoffs

Lately it feels like my brain just isn't firing the way it used to, which is far from ideal in the time of layoffs. I'm slower, more tired, and small things keep slipping through the cracks. I have made some changes and seen a doctor, but progress is uneven. I feel like I'm signing my layoffs notice myself.

What happened?

Today CarMax laid off 240 Home Office positions - most are long term positions.

Go figureee! After the massive layoffs we can now see the affects! Haaaaha

whats next after the stock dropping? 100's of them in the office with no work?

GoDaddy is undergoing significant layoffs that cut across multiple functions — sales, engineering, and leadership. This isn’t just a small adjustment; it’s part of a larger restructuring that reflects the company’s current instability and shifting priorities.

Employees across different levels are being impacted, from quota‑carrying sales reps to technical engineers and even senior leaders. The breadth of these cuts suggests that GoDaddy is not simply trimming excess headcount, but rather redefining its operating model in ways that will reshape the culture and future direction of the company.

For those inside, the environment feels uncertain. Compensation plans have been changing, transparency has been questioned, and now entire teams are being reduced or reorganized. These layoffs are hitting both revenue‑generating roles and product‑building functions, which raises concerns about how GoDaddy plans to sustain growth and innovation moving forward.

Externally, GoDaddy continues to present itself as a global brand with strong market presence, but internally, the reality is different: morale is low, trust is eroding, and employees are left wondering what comes next. The fact that leadership roles are also being eliminated underscores that this is not just about performance management, but about a deeper strategic reset.

If you’re considering opportunities at GoDaddy, be aware of the current climate. The company is in transition, and while it may still offer brand recognition and scale, the risk of instability is high. For current employees, the message is clear: prepare for change, advocate for transparency, and recognize that the company’s priorities are shifting rapidly.

I'm in fraud analytics and a bunch of my coworkers got pulled in for a surprise meeting today, one I was not part of and I'm extremely anxious and on edge. Has anyone heard anything yet? There's nothing out here that will pay me the same as I make and I really cannot afford to lose this job.

Procurement employees I know are being asked if they live within 50 miles of L3Harris location. It won't be long now.

I was let go last year along with 200+ people. I considered myself lucky cause at least we got an informal notice ahead of time and that allowed me time to make financial decisions. Last day of work was end of March, followed by 60 days of pay work (all the way to end of May), followed by vacation pay in June and package arrived beginning of July. So lucky, some people experience longer delays. That said, nothing prepared me for how bad the job market is. It's 1000% an employers market. I have a graduate degree, certifications, 15+ years of experience, I stay current with technology (not a dinosaur), I live in the suburbs of major city, etc yet I'm still out there. I am not the only one from my group, some are back to work but took significant pay cuts working for smaller institutions, others are doing odd jobs, others went back to do extra certifications/school, etc. So if there's a strong signal your team will be impacted, I suggest you to start looking and start saving money. It's wild out there, it's as bad or worse than the 2008 crisis. This is not fear mongering! If you have some savings and have stayed many years at citi wait for the package, its good and will give you a buffer but if you don't have a money cushion then don't wait and start looking. I will add, I have kids and no other potential employer has match Citi's health insurance (as expensive as it's) so bear it in mind.

Usually happens in January. I am thinking at least 100 million with bonus and stock award. He cut jobs. That is what his p1mps on Wall Street care about.

I see at least 50 for Krabanaugh. He got his wish. IBM over 300 a share.

When do we get our 2% Pay Rise this year.
Any Mandatory Redundancy planned for this year.

Grab your life vest, and jump ship. You heard it straight from the CEO.

Let me guess, let's promote the heckler and layoff more of the hard working smart people.

Project Managers rebadging. 90% and 10% stay as GW (for now).
Consolidation under one VP + mass rebadging + downgraded benefits usually means cost restructuring and positioning the company for a transaction (sale/spin/outsourcing). Whether the “sell off” is confirmed or not, the pattern is consistent with that kind of move.

Business Analysts
Developers.

Congratulations to the CEO for just destroying the work life/balance at PNC. Work/life balance no longer exists at PNC. Good bye to all the talent and hard working people at this business. He has no idea what he just did to his employees.

I was just denied unemployment in Florida cause of the severance I was always told we could still get unemployment

I think managers are already telling their people. It’s so fu---d guys. My coworker got switched and they aren’t even near a major hub or my team. LITERALLY WHAT IS THE REASON??????????????

I am remote, but still waiting for confirmation.

Good luck and godspeed today. It’s the end of the company we know. Already have friends and family closing their accounts.

"The big picture: CEOs and employers are super eager to reap the productivity benefits of AI — particularly so they can bring down labor costs.

But for now, AI is mainly being used as an excuse to conduct layoffs that are due to other factors, says Rob Hornby, co-CEO of consultancy AlixPartners.
In a survey from his firm, also out Wednesday, 95% of CEOs said they expected to conduct layoffs in the next five years because of AI. That's likely more hope than reality. CEOs aren't yet seeing productivity gains from AI, he says."

Sounds like LHX. He's probably referring to LHX Next!!

With Pune announcing they will stop working at 11pm their time around 12:30pm EST,
NYC teams are scrambling as the teams do NOT have appropriate staffing to perform the job or experience due to all the layoffs over the past years.

Thoughts on the townhall with Pete?

I’ve been at Honeywell 10 years(multiple SBGs). This is BY FAR the craziest and most chaotic time I’ve had a HON. By far. Really trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel for IA, but the light is dim. Leaders present the pretty slides and visions but nothing ever trickles down. The climb has to be so massive to really turn the IA ship. Every function has a different priority. No one has resources.(and more RIFs are coming) No one has funding. Light at the end of the tunnel is dim.

Trying to stay positive but it’s tough.

Everyone is on edge, wringing their hands hoping that all will be well in regards to their employment.

Lots of naysayers out there. Lots off people who desperately try to sell that its not use to look for jobs elsewhere. Lots of people who try to tell you that if someone got let go “it must be because they got a deserved 4 rating”.

While both can be true, neither is exclusively always true.

The one thing that I know for sure 100% is that you are guaranteed to NEVER find a job outside of Citi if you don’t start looking. Many don’t want to take the leap out of fear of starting over and having to prove themselves. Ok, then all the stress you get from Citi going forward will be forever shackled to you. If you don’t like your world then change your world. Easy, no. Quick, usually not. Impossible, absolutely not. Worth it, for piece of mind, oh you bet it is.

As one other poster mentioned, many people NEED to believe that if someone got let go its because they were a sustained 4 in all areas for an extended amount of time. They have to believe that so that they can take themselves out of that bucket that it could happen to them. They need to believe that if they do all the right things, they are safe.
The actual truth is much uglier than what they can handle.

Work hard, keep your head down, sharpen your skills. Search externally for jobs and apply. Rinse, repeat until you find something and move on. Keep in mind that Citi wants you to move on. They are taking measures to encourage you to leave. If you survive this round, then congratulations, you get to take up the slack for everyone else. You get more work and with most assuredly shortened deadlines with a higher expectations to never make a mistake. Keep in mind all the while with no increase in pay. Its ok though because it’ll be summed up with “don’t forget about your work life balance” speech. To Citi “work life balance” is that your family needs to be ok with you working all the time.

Has anyone heard of benefits dept being offshored? I’ve seen 2 posts on linkedin since yesterday from people on benefits team looking for next opportunity.

Feb 2025 was a bloodbath. Will there be layoffs next month ?

Dont trust anyone do what u can and move on this place is crumbling from within. All the executives suites fault but everyone pays for there clueless ideas.

If it is happening today I just want to say I've loved working with you all. I hope the right decisions are made but regardless, I hope you have amazing outcomes and a wonderful future.

Didn't see anything on here. BDB had about 4% reduction in force on Jan 9th.

I heard the business Resiliency Group in technology had some folks let go to "right size" the org. Does anyone know how many and if there are any other groups getting the slice?

I'm trying to wrap my head around how Wayfair is skirting around reporting layoffs on the Boston Warn site.

An email went out today from CC with the 2026 Enterprise Priorities as if this is supposed to excite us and motivate us to work harder.

"Modernize, transform, and consolidate our technology" (translate: make more job cuts, rely on underpaid incompetent overseas workers to work around the clock, burn-out anyone still here by making them do the jobs of those who were cut too)

"Turbocharge data, analytics and workflow innovation" (translate: a pile of BS which means nothing but sounds good)

"Streamline and modernize our operations" (translate: Don't worry OneTru is our life saving measure and the answer to all our problems, but we still don't have the hang of it yet. But.. getting there, we think, maybe? Hello, is this thing on?

"Evolve our Go-To-Market approach" (translate: keep focused on plans for 2026 layoffs, with less expenses, our bottom line will look better and we can go on more fun excursions!)

"Drive AI innovation across all areas of the business" (translate: the sooner Ai can replace human jobs, the more money we'll put in our pockets from their salaries that no longer need to be paid! Fist-bump!)

Sorry but I just cannot read a list of enterprise priorities and not see the greedy corporate truth behind this veil of deception.

There’s layoffs today

why does it seem like Finance roles are hardly impacted by offshoring, layoffs, pay freezes, AI replacements, etc.

But others are? Finance and Senior Leadership seem to be exempt?

I don't want it for others, but myself. I would volunteer if there was a way. I'm just so done with this place.

Looks like we are now outsourcing training!! DSI is the vendor.

A company spokesperson confirmed that the job cuts will impact staff at its San Francisco headquarters as well as remote employees working from Seattle.

Leadership indicates a need to reset and focus more on areas that matter. Growth has not been happening as fast as desired.
