#layoffs

Any one have news on layoffs in BALA departments?

Any word on the untalented and overpaid people of consumer products?

Any confirmation of layoffs within home and community on 10/30?

Nothing happening with my team so far, but from what I understand this will be a whole day thing, with notifications going out periodically. Needles to say, not much work will get done today.

So, given what happened yesterday, how impacted was AWS, particularly the actual techs who worked there?

New CEO said on the earnings webcast we need to be leaner as a company and reduce in areas that no longer make sense. As I’ve been hearing 20% reduction in employees over the next 2 years

Brace yourselves.

T had always been a follower. Is this a sign of things to come?

Soooo...is this a good indicator of a big layoff?

Seem like no programs at Gilbert so layouts will be hapening and over staffed programs

Does anyone else feel like this is “the layoffs will continue until morale improves?”
I’ve heard of US, CA, MX, UK impacts-. Apparently the announcements will continue to be provided this week as HR could not get a hold of all individuals earlier on Monday and Tuesday.
It hadn’t even been a year since the last round to figure out “a new way of working”- where “we are not asking you to do more with less but to just stop doing the non-value work” I’m still waiting to know what is defined as the non-valued work. I also find it crazy that after a profitable quarter one we continue to lay off employees.

Do our immediate supervisors kno.whom is being laid off yet

Clemmer did the same thing with AGERE and LSI in the early 2000's. Starboard sees a huge return on share price, sells of course. Good call on Starboard's part brining Clemmers to the table.

There is going to be be some major reorgs and fat cutting. I don't think the Triquint-RFMD Lackeys will survive overall. Arrangements like five supervisors for the the same group of people will not bode well.

There will be massive duplication of services. Redundant groups will be addressed.
Watch the management! True test of character now, watch what your manager shares with you. More than likely only concerned about themselves. And rightfully so.
This is an IP grab for Skyworks. Maybe some niche designers will be absorbed. Personally, I feel it couldn't happen to a more deserving management group!

Just in time for Christmas too!

What are Dell paying out for Spain? Are they caping they payment at 12 months or is it more

post here if you got an email.

The reorg seems big, but there was no clarification whether there will be layoffs or not.

Can someone well-informed please comment?

Niagara Bottling will lay off 85 employees at its bottling plant on Northwest 42nd Street in Ocala, according to a notice issued to the state.

Most of the layoffs are effective Dec. 31, 2025; however, some employees will stay until March 31, 2026.

It’s always the reliable people with real skills and experience. Meanwhile, the same workload just gets dumped on the rest of us, including a bunch of near-useless folks. Why, ffs? Sometimes I honestly wonder how this place even functions. If office politics, basically code for su-k-ups doing fine, is the main criteria for layoffs, there’s no way this company keeps quality people.

Allegedly half, around 7,500 people, were notified yesterday. Are they aiming for 14,000 total in this round, or will it continue in January?

Especially about which orgs are affected, if you can. Thanks, and good luck to us all.

Heard some people here might’ve been let go a couple days ago, it’s hard not to worry. Feels like the writing’s on the wall. People are spending less, things are slowing down. I just hope this isn’t the start of something bigger.

Several departments are expected to experience layoffs; however, Disneyland Resort declined to confirm which specific departments will be affected. At the time of writing, the California theme park has not filed a WARN notice.

So it begins

If you follow Cisco LR blue print over many quarters, notifications are always next day to the earning call, which is Wednesday, Nov 12.

Earnings Nov 12
Notifications Nov 13,
Exit date Jan 13.

Collect your severance and retire happy.

For those affected: your line manager will schedule a zoom meeting with you tomorrow morning, and will give you the news one-on-one in that call. There is a rough script they will have to follow. They will tell you about when your last day is (depends on WARN status, etc.), your STIP status (if any), and a little about your severance. They will answer any questions they are able. For any that they cannot, they will refer you to your HR rep. You will then get an email from HR almost immediately after you have had your call with your manager with further information and confirming everything you’ve discussed. Your manager is supposed to send out meeting invites first thing in your working day.

Bumping this from @a9+1k8p3b1g7 for important info.

LSEG continues with layoffs and hundreds of people have been impacted. It seems the company even took down a post about it as it’s no longer there.
It feels like another move to cut costs and make the numbers look better while the stock struggles. It’s tough to watch, especially since there are so many great and knowledgeable people here. They’re really the main reason many of us stay.
But for those who remain, the workload keeps growing, and so much valuable knowledge has already walked out the door. Who knows when the next round might come. Maybe Q1? There’s always that lingering feeling that anyone could be next and that will continue forever until …

Hang in there everyone.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• oct01-oct29: 1950 layoffs, 1689 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

Reuters and Deadline have articles saying layoffs begin today. Lovely to hear this communication on the Web before the company we work for relays the message. Praying for all of our colleagues. Keep us posted on what departments get hit.

False performance improvement plans and blatant ageism. This company is a joke. I go in every day and keep my head down and barely do any work while watching the people who gossip get put on false pips.

We have washed up fat and ugly managers and directors at aero

Feel sorry for you Amazon Bezos Bozo's who bought into all of the Amazonian bull cr-p over the years.

Who notices how often this company does stealth layoffs around holidays? They just let a handful of older engineers go.

I got email.

So I just sign right?

I heard the layoffs tomorrow will mostly be at 1515 broadway tomorrow with a goal of closure by March 2026. Can anyone here verify?

It seems 5% so far. I am sure the largest wave hasn’t come yet.

I have some partners asking to cancel meetings this week given today's new while some are actively asking for deliverables. I don't know how to react. While I would love to cancel meetings I'm worried what the other partners asking for deliverables might think..

Congrats to all those who wanted to force employers to let you work from home.
This mass layoff is not only caused by that, but certainly employers know they want the upper hand. Very naive from employees when you wanted to demand work from home arrangements.

Coming into Q3 I'd normally be hiring for core and seasonal. I got an email recently to just focus on core... There's always a smell that lingers in the air right before employees are about to get sc--wed over.. It's starting to get that smell at WSI...
