Whisk-y House of Kentucky laid off 22 employees. This cut impacts about 30% of its workforce. The Elizabethtown facility now runs at 60% capacity. Slower spirits demand caused this production reduction. The company offers severance, benefits, and job placement assistance.

DXC is too morally bankrupt to actually do a layoff where they would have to pay severance packages. Instead HR goes around trying to find low performers on the sales team ( which is basically the whole company) and they put them on PIPs. Even if you make the PIP. They then put you on a new one. Constantly moving the goal post. They also lie on the documentation. These people are bottom of the barrel sc-mbags

Greenfield Community College balanced its FY27 budget. This effort significantly reduced projected layoffs. Three non-unit management positions were eliminated. No union-represented staff positions were cut. The college also left some vacant positions unfilled.

So now, instead of mid years, we can all expect two required check-in meetings both to occur in june and july.

No feedback is solicited from the employee for this, and your manager can only rate you as 'meets' or 'does not meet.' There will be a dashboard about how you are trending based on no metrics available for the general population to see.

In the stacked ranking world that we all still live in they have removed exceeds and consistently exceeds because those don't exist anymore. As for consistently does not meet, you're just sh--e out of luck and fired. Instead you either fail, or you're acceptable.

No path to improvement, no mention of coaching or development. Just a very easy way to get rid of people not liked. It does not help. The article is written like sh--e and probably using m dash prompts because its incoherent, just like me. Fu-k you, WF.

Ford and Lincoln in major decline, other manufacturers are not. From tge DN:

Ford Motor Co.'s U.S. sales declined almost 14% year-over-year in May, despite the introduction last month of employee discounted pricing for all.
The Dearborn automaker cited the discontinuation of the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair crossovers as well as reduced daily rental volumes for the decline. Without those, Ford said sales would've been down 1%, according to the company.
Cox Automotive Inc. ahead of the results was forecasting a flat May for the industry resulting from low consumer confidence and higher gas prices balanced by stock market growth and larger tax returns. With Ford discontinuing a few models and its next major vehicle launch not happening until 2027, analysts had forecast the automaker would struggle to keep pace in 2026.
The best-selling trucks in the United States, F-Series pickups and cabs, fell 13% as the company still works through limited inventory from an aluminum shortage stemming from multiple fires last fall at a supplier. The smaller Ranger fell 23%, and Maverick rose10% to a May record with its best sales month for its hybrid version. The Transit commercial van grew 4.2%, including a 22% decrease for the electric version.
Ford SUVs fell 21%, though large SUVs still are marking their best start to a year in 25 years. Explorer grew 8.8%, and Bronco rose 5.2% to a May record. But Bronco Sport dropped 8.3%, and Expedition declined 24%, though it had its best monthly retail share in six years. The electric Mustang Mach-E fell 44%. The Mustang coupe declined 1.8%.
Lincoln sales also declined 21% with all models down: Nautilus at 7.6%, Aviator at 6.1% and Navigator at 10.8%.
Ford is offering employee pricing for all through the July 4 weekend to mark the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The automaker in 2025 had a similar promotion through the summer in response to uncertainty created by new tariffs introduced by the Trump administration.
In May, Subaru Inc. reported U.S. sales were up 10%, Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd.'s increased 3%, Kia Corp.'s rose11% to a monthly record and Mazda Motor Corp.'s rose 35%. General Motors Co. and Chrysler and Jeep parent Stellantis NV will report second-quarter sales in July.

With token pricing increasing dramatically, AI solutions are going to be too expensive. We'll end up using real AI - another Indian.

Exactly this. CEOs are finally realizing that the moment AI stops being subsidized through subscription, its cost becomes way too high to justify. So they'll go back to the previous solution, which will be more outsourcing. Either way, we're the ones getting sc--wed.

And if so, any ideas on what's going to get hit?

I think once everyone learns that FT, who is a large client, is dropping the contract and going with a different company the stock will fall even lower. Well into the 30s. How can you have confidence in the company if they constantly get dropped by clients?

So grateful for those who are sharing information about upcoming layoffs and potential dates, etc.. At the very least, it gives employees a chance to be prepared. Living with the unexpected has become normalized. Executive leadership does not care how this affects productivity and morale. With a stock price that closed at $40.88, you would think that they would lean in hard to any advantage, like, you know, talented staff whose favor had been curried by their support. Question: thought that TPO had been laid off, but for Bob. He sure must be busy these days.

My schedule has gotten slow in June and and only a few members scheduled for July

Any Housecall layoffs occurring??

RIFS, PAY CUTS, YOU KNOW THE DRILL .....

Which teams are going to hit harder ?

I really hope I get selected this layoff wave otherwise I’m thinking of quitting. Anyone else feel the same? I was planning on waiting till next year but I don’t think I can make it.

103 million verdict cause Liberty Mutual laid off due to a ge and forced some to retire. Got rid of good and loyal workers. Read article sounds like what happened to us.

Hi,
Was laid off in the last round (why do I always type layed?).

The job market as many know isn’t great, even willing to relocate it’s still tough out there.

So in the spirit of considering all my options, what have people seen as “Nike actually paid attention and enforced” regarding going to work for competitors?

No I’m not a reporter or a troll or any of that nonsense, just a person trying to provide for their family and while the severance and savings gives me some time… I would sleep a lot better being back working and moving forward. Not one to “take a break” or sit around and hope for the best, not with the responsibility of a family.

Thank you

If Factset is a WARN company, shouldn’t they have announced layoffs? Last Sanoke dodged the question. Secondly, under WARN act shouldn’t Factset have given us the term date of 90 days later?

As we go into the annual review process, HR is always quick to point out that the employee evaluations have no direct correlation to the amount that an employee might get as a "merit" increase. I have two issues with this:

1. When increases come around every year, the vast majority of employees get a "merit" increases in the 1-3% range. This is essentially a cost of living adjustment. In fact that amount is usually less than inflation, so most of us are getting paid less every year (relatively speaking).

2. If an employee is rated as "developing" they are ineligible for a "merit" increase. Managers are pressured to identify approx. 5-10% of their team who fall into the "developing" category. These employees don't even get a cost of living adjustment, which is, for all intents and purposes, a pay cut because of forced ranking of team members.

HR points out to managers that its ok to label someone as "developing" if they've been in the role for <1 year, so a lot of managers put their newer employees in that category. But based on your hire date, that might mean you may go 18+ months before getting any sort of cost of living adjustment. For managers without any new team members (which are most of them after all the WFRs), they can find themselves stuck tagging a few people who may get a rating they don't deserve and its corresponding pay-cut because of the stack ranking.

Because this has been brought up, HR says they're evaluating the policy on "developing" employees not being eligible for increases, but that opens a can of worms if they do.

More and more, it feels like yet another underhanded way of getting people to quit so the company can continue to fly under any government regulations for lay-offs that exceed a certain threshold number of affected workers. In this case, the idea is that you get lower performing people to leave, however, I'd argue that in some teams, there simply aren't people who are truly "developing" and thus get pushed out because of this manipulative process.

I sincerely hope that this is still just a holdover from the previous regime's culture that will be corrected by the new executive leadership team, but I'm not holding my breath.

Again and again

I don’t think there will be additional “layoffs” like the ones Monday until later in the year. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Monday layoffs were probably part of the 81 cited in the WARN earlier this year.

What Capital One will probably look to do is leverage the mid-year stack reviews to cull more people from the herd. I don’t believe they need to file a WARN for those since it is technically based on “performance”.

My bet is once they’ve axed the mid year people they will begin to evaluate for the final round or two of integration layoffs.

Been hearing news about lots of layoffs. Anyone know anything?

PP is cutting again - this time is massive almost a quarter of all employed. It's going to be about 300 people which in the grand schema of things is not that big but for us at PP it's the biggest round ever - the impacts are massive. JH got her promo, kudos girl, but you are responsible for the mess as much as anyone else. this time they are not blaming it on ai cause by now everyone knows that story is all bs. i shall be back with a rant on RTO and all failed promises the execs sold us over last few years. well done jill.

Notified yesterday of a mandatory in store meeting happening tomorrow. Any information on this? Seems to be happening to select stores, including COR. I know US Cellular has been shutting doors lately, is T-Mobile cutting corporate doors as well? No information is able to be given by anyone until this meeting.

The Social Security Administration is undergoing significant workforce reductions. Over 7,000 jobs, representing 12-13% of its staff, are being eliminated. This restructuring is part of federal cost-cutting initiatives. Lawmakers and advocates express concerns about potential service delays for millions. Critics argue these cuts are weakening the system and worsening backlogs. The SSA maintains these changes will modernize service delivery and improve efficiency.
