#layoffs

I never seen it so bad after 15 years with the company. The pressure on our team to perform without tools and resources with no backfills in critical areas. Now voluntary retirement will have tenured people walking out the door and then we will see the problems really get compounded in our IT department where people are already barely holding it together. I really like my job and the people I work with. I hope I survive the next round of lays offs if voluntary retirement doesn’t do its job of reducing the workers to the benchmark the directors believe they need to get to to satisfy the gods.

Pretty hard to work in an environment like you do...wondering what is happening or going to happen. Sad

2025 was a harsh and bitter year of layoffs and departures from Corel. Most notably the Vice President & Principal Architect of Parallels left after rearchitecting Parallels for success. The worst part is Christa takes credit for the success of the product line without mentioning his name. Also Senior Vice President of Product and Engineering and the Vice President Of Engineering decided they'd rather not report Christa Quarles CEO at Parallels & Corel due to poor decisions affecting revenue and layoffs of software engineers.

Layoffs and firings are spread across the Canada, US and Mauritius. Directors and managers were made to layoff their entire teams, then they themselves were laid-off. Specifically the Product teams have been hit very hard. Staff turn-over in Mauritius is very high amongst those who are native to the country.

Christa Quarles an American business executive, she has shown zero expert knowledge as a CEO who knows how to manage a company. Christa lead the change of the Corel brand to Alludo in 2022. As of December 2025, Alludo is gone as the brand name, Corel has been returned to keep the focus on Corel branded products. Millions of dollars wasted. No announcements provided as to why

There are two chief of staffs and one executive assistant. Yet the product team have have been decimated by layoffs as has the marketing team.

Christa Quarles CEO of Corel has run out of friends to hire. There are continued complaints from customers of shady business practices associated with the quiet subscription model campaign. Now we wait in 2026 for the next layoffs.

Chanel RTW, bags and shoes are pulling out of seven locations, mostly in California. Once the fires flare up, everything is affected. Sales associates are scared of losing job/liquidation/store closing, and they are being left with nothing to sell. Many other brands are expected to follow Chanel and pull out as well. I also heard that a few vendors are threatening to pull out completely from Saks and Neiman Marcus.

Good luck, y’all—get your best résumé ready!

Citi may make a new round of job cuts in early 2026

Citi isn't commenting, but multiple sources say the bank is preparing for a new round of job cuts in early 2026. The cuts are expected to be firmwide and to cover markets, banking and wealth management.

Have been at Nike for 1 year only I beg you all please don't write anything negative on thisnpost.... Send me positive thoughts. OK, so it has been quite sometime that my higher manager has been casually discussing converting my role to an IC role paid by hour!!!! That means saying goodbye to my health insurance, and monthly stability as my income would be based on whatever number of hours I will be needed.....
I am freaking out! I am a single mom with3 kids.... Now all of a sudden I got an email that my manager wants to speak to me about this transition to IC tomorrow... It is decided... what if it is just for one or 2 months until I finish my current workload and then suddenly there will be no more hours????¿ please keep me in your prayers tonight and yes I am so lonely I did not have anyone else to turn to to vent...

So 13,000+ people were fired in December and in January those very roles are now open roles?! Talk about a slap in the face! V2B is hiring AD’s and supervisors and reps but got rid of them for the holidays. Bait & Switch at its finest.

Another 50 roles cut…

Amazon is eliminating 2,400 jobs in Washington state, a decision tied to a ten-year $100 billion investment into artificial intelligence technologies. This workforce reduction is scheduled to take effect in early 2026 as the company restructures its internal operations to support AI development through Amazon Web Services.

The affected roles span a variety of corporate departments in the Seattle region, where Amazon has maintained a significant presence for decades.

The company has announced that funding redirected from these job eliminations will support enhancements to AI infrastructure, including data centers, machine learning models, and AI-powered products.

While some employees will be eligible for severance and job placement assistance, the announcement has caused concern among workers and the surrounding community. Many are focusing on the local economic effects of removing thousands of salaried jobs in a region closely tied to the company’s history.

Why It Matters: The removal of thousands of roles from Amazon’s Washington workforce introduces new concerns about how artificial intelligence is reshaping employment patterns within the technology sector. Decisions to move funding from salaried staff to machine learning systems are becoming more common and could influence long-term approaches to infrastructure and business growth.

Per ignites article… if global markets continue to sour…could mean layoffs down the pipeline

General Motors has also paused operations at other facilities, including a temporary layoff of 700 workers at its Spring Hill, Tennessee, battery plant. The Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, also known as Factory Zero, is scheduled to reopen today on a single shift following its own staffing reductions.

So on Oct 28 there was a bunch of layoffs at the barn (Beaverton/Hillsboro OR). Some of us got to stay and work from home until we're all eventually let go. Huge rumor saying tomorrow is the day we would all be laid off here in Oregon. Does anyone have any information on this,?

1/6 is the date

I recall the person who announced the end of the year layoffs from last year got the date 100% correct. They had also mentioned layoffs for next week (if im not mistaken). Is this plausible, any knowledge or input on this is helpful. I imagine if someone knew of one it would have already been posted.

A workforce reduction began today at the Ultium Cells battery manufacturing plant in Lordstown. The company moved forward with a planned mass layoff involving 1,334 hourly employees. The facility is a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, located on Tod Avenue SW.

Lay offs will happen starting January 12th

I went back to work a few months ago, and what I’ve seen is heartbreaking and infuriating. Most of the team is gone, and the way it happened is outright unethical. The best people were put on PIPs and eliminated. How? Simple: the harder you work, the more mistakes you make and the more “productive” you appear so you get canned.

Now we’re left with people afraid to work hard, terrified of PIPs. Productivity has tanked, and the top talent, the people who could get another job in a heartbeat are already gone. Dell is the textbook example of what a company shouldn’t do. And they are dumping everything they can at us, like a stupid gorilla throwing his sh-t at the zoo, and in the end, they’ll probably tell us they can’t find talent and outsource our teams abroad.

The company went global, sure, but at the expense of employees under constant pressure, all for financial decisions. People on my team have emailed upper management about working conditions and treatment. Nothing. Upper management refuses to acknowledge the problem, yet they enforce return-to-office policies while they work from home. Meanwhile, some employees are still on payroll and haven’t touched their computers in ten months.

2025 has been brutal. My paycheck no longer covers my bills. While Wall Street celebrates record profits, the average employee is crushed. After 20+ years at Dell, I’ve never seen management fail so spectacularly at handling layoffs and treating people. I’m done. I’m looking for another job. I can’t watch this abuse continue.

As we enter the first quarter of the year, Microsoft layoffs in 2026 are fast-becoming a focal point of industry concern. Following a turbulent 2025 that witnessed over 15,000 job cuts, rumors of further layoffs at Microsoft suggest a multi-year strategy to flatten corporate hierarchies. With a history of timing major personnel changes in January, the potential for job cuts at Microsoft in 2026 looms large for teams in Gaming, Azure, and Sales.

Please? Yes, more layoffs are coming. No, layoffs have not started today. They probably won't for weeks. What do you get from scaring people for no reason?

Opt in window for people to decide from Jan 6 to 16 if they want to leave, if not, people will be chosen to leave.

2% reduction…

Are we sure it's even happening?

My mental health has been suffering because it’s simply not sustainable to keep worrying and stressing every single day. That’s where we’ve been for over a year now, just not knowing from one day to the next if more cuts are coming. I’m having more and more trouble dealing with it, but leaving isn’t an option.

Buckle up, it’s coming. And the chosen few will get lower ratings to destroy their bonus amounts too.

Somebody legitimately wrote this paragraph and thought, "Yeah this makes total sense" and clicked send to the entire company. I get from this that mass layoffs will be coming before the 1/14 meeting (in particular the last line), but who knows.

"To grow boldly, we are launching our 2026 theme: “Transform as ONE.” I have chosen
this because true, sustainable transformation is not an individual pursuit; it is a shared
journey that requires us to be aligned in purpose, unified in action, and strengthened by collective ambition. Under this theme, we will pursue our directions of Exceed and Excel, Agility and Action, and Discover and Do through “One for All” Communication and
Collaboration. We must operate with the understanding that finding efficiencies is not
about doing more with less, but rather about doing better with purpose."

UHC is dropping about 1 million MA members in 2026... any news as to how many care coordinators will be laid off?

richard baker steps down and now they need $1 billion to keep the doors open. get your resume ready!

CEO Richard Baker steps down and now they need $1 billion to keep the doors open. It's over. Start looking for a new job.

Ever wonder what it feels like to work inside a corporation that’s shrinking, expanding, consolidating, offshoring, rebranding, cost‑optimizing, culture‑eroding, “thriving together,” recharging, refreshing, and “strategically transforming” all at once—while leadership insists everything is BAU and perfectly normal?

It’s like watching a building burn while someone in a branded polar fleece calmly assures you it’s “just a controlled enhancement to long‑term stability,” right before the ceiling collapses behind them.

And because it’s a new year, leadership has prepared a cheerful continuing resolution —delivered with the warmth of a broken space heater and the sincerity of a captured strongman awaiting arraignment for crimes against humanity:

“Expect increased toxicity, more layoffs, more offshoring, and steady gaslighting to brighten and warm your spirits.”

Truly inspiring. Afterall, nothing says fresh start like a forecast of cultural decay wrapped in corporate confetti and lightly dusted with the faint aroma of smoldering ethics.

But wait—leadership wants you to celebrate.
Yes, CELEBRATE!

So plaster on your best “I’m totally fine” smile and go take a few selfies and post on social media.

And don’t forget to hashtag your favorite EC member—you know, the one hiding behind “strategic pillars” like a kid playing corporate hide‑and‑seek. Extra credit if you catch them mid‑pose for their next phony empathy post, those perfectly curated LinkedIn masterpieces where they pretend to care about employee well‑being while quietly checking their bank statements and discreetly approving the next round of “optimization.”

Because nothing captures the modern corporate experience quite like being told to “embrace the journey” while knowing your organization is in a sharp nosedive.

Tray tables up, folks!

It's a con game. The company has no incentive to care about your feelings. Any and all morale boosting is just managing useful distractions. They dangle carrots, or vague promises they have no intention of keeping, or soft reassurances of your job security only to stand there at your desk as you cry and put your belongings into the banker's box they've graciously provided to you.

Just like the managers that pit their employees against one another, it's all about keeping you occupied so you don't notice the water creeping up to your ankles on the sinking ship. Go rearrange those deck chairs, this Titanic will look presentable!

Just stop. Leave. No notice, no new job lined up. Do whatever you can to expedite the implosion of this company by removing yourself from their clutches. Go sling coffee, bag groceries, start an ebay reseller gig, anything but continuing to enable your abuser. They won't realize anything until they are forced to and when they only have overseas cheap labor to depend upon, it'll really be fun to watch this place crater. If India wants these jobs so bad, let them have 'em. Watch what happens.

Go. Be happy. Be anywhere but here, your mental health will be better, and you can leave this bucket of tu-ds in the rearview mirror.

RTO = forced attrition. AI will sh-t can a lot of jobs anyway so we might as well ride until the train stops.

so the 2026 benefits book is now available and as expected, nothing has changed in terms of severance benefits, still 8 weeks up to 4 years of service then 2 weeks per year of service until it maxed out at 52 weeks for 26+ years.

SAP has money for share buybacks but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits. SAP has money to increase executive board bonuses but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits. SAP has money to invest in AI products that have no future but no money for giving employees salary increments and benefits.

In addition, Joule and other AI slop added to flagship products do not have a good adoption rate. Customers are not willing to pay a premium price for AI features that are unnecessary or downright bad and only increase costs. So they will look at alternatives for one or more products within the SAP ecosystem.

And every single discussion regarding these exact points is derailed by unsavory comments. I sincerely believe that SAP does not need any layoffs but they are doing so simply to instill fear and use this as a bargaining chip to pay less money to employees while the executive board maximize their bonuses. Every good comment here is followed by some bad ones that force the topic to be derailed.

And the only way to fix this is to highlight the real reasons why Dominic Asam, Christian Klein and others want layoffs.

We need to stop the infighting. Because the only people benefiting from this are the executive board and highly paid area heads and VPs and managers who don't add value but have very high salaries. And the losers are ALL SAP EMPLOYEES if we keep fighting between ourselves.

On that note, can someone please share more details about the reorganizations in 2026 Q1? And if there are any more details about any potential 2026 layoffs.

Started working here during the pandemic. I remember the huge layoff back in 2024. Not really familiar with how Fidelity does layoffs.

That being said, there’s (a lot of) talk about certain positions getting laid off. There’s been a few layoffs, but not to the extent of 2024. With all the talk going on, why hasn’t there been a cataclysmic layoff yet, like this website seems to predict?

Take what I say with a grain of salt, but I just expected Abby to execute a bloodbath again this year. Everyone seems to have a hunch that another big one is coming, which has a bunch of people on edge. How are people gonna perform well when they’re on edge? Why doesn’t Abby just do the layoff already to let people know where things lie, and then have the safe ones be able to work?

I’m not sure how many people quit this past year because of the increase in remote work, or their position getting moved to another office. Still, what needs to fall into place before yet another huge layoff occurs?

I know this is a sensitive topic, so whoever reads this, please just take care of yourself.

All I’ve seen over the past year is top performers being shown the door, while the slickest office-politics players stay and continue damaging teams. Why is leadership so allergic to retaining actual talent?

Intel initially disclosed 669 Oregon layoffs in November 2025. By January 2026, that number jumped to 2,392 workers – nearly 5x the original count. Combined with earlier cuts, Intel is eliminating over 3,000 Oregon jobs, representing roughly 20% of its 20,000-person workforce in the state.

I barely manage to drag myself to the office every day, already exhausted by the fact that everyone else is in the same situation. We are all equal parts demoralized and worried about our jobs. I just wish this were already over so we could at least know where we stand. The problem is that it never really ends. The only question is how bad it will be this time.

FedEx has disclosed another round of layoffs in North Texas, this time affecting dozens of workers at a Fort Worth-area facility, according to summaries of the statute provided by the Galo Law legal blog.
