#layoffs

Myself and a few other colleagues have received the “important business update” email this morning. Good luck folks, going to be a bumpy ride..

I have been praying for myself and everyone else. Even if I survive this layoff I know others will not and it saddens me. What a horrible way to do a layoff, we find out Thursday and have to go all the way to Tuesday to find out, it has been a miserable few days for all of us. I would say it is CRUEL in fact. I love Target and I wish they had handled this with more care.

Starts in November. Best of luck everyone. It's tough out there.
Amazon just laid off 33k

From a spouse of a Target employee. I've been following this site for the last 5 days and this whole process is an absolute sh-t show. I'm sorry to every employee that works there and has had to play this game.

There will be more layoffs before years end. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a good old fashioned RIF. Support for clients is terrible and getting worse by the day. Pretty unhappy place to work these days.

To: All New Global FE MCP Team Members
From: FE Leadership

As part of the ongoing ENGINE MCP transition, FE leadership has reviewed and confirmed the strategic direction for the Global FE MCP Teams.

Please note the following:

• The current team structure is intended as a temporary support mechanism to facilitate the ENGINE MCP transition, rollout and execution.

• This initiative is designed to streamline operational processes, including the progressive reduction of staff, in alignment with broader organizational restructuring.

• Future layoff communications is planned to be delivered by your assigned remote supervisor.

We recognize the impact of these changes and appreciate your continued professionalism during this transition. Further updates will not be shared or answered at the scheduled FE activation workshops!

Prepare to be de-activated!

I've been seeing more companies laying off employees blaming AI. Amazon laying off 14K corporate jobs. So many roles within Fidelity seem very robotic to me as it may be easy to utilize AI to cut overhead the question is on timing? If you work in one of the call centers you will notice what ever role the employees are in they are following a script, oh excuse me a call model for that role. There's very little self thinking within Fidelity so it seems would not be too far off when AI could easily learn the call models and also how to sound human to a client on the other end. Just the thought for the day

Assuming some would quit with RTO, saving severance and unemployment.

While this will include reducing in some areas and hiring in others, it will mean an overall reduction in our corporate workforce of approximately 14,000 roles. We’re working hard to support everyone whose role is impacted, including offering most employees 90 days to look for a new role internally (the timing will vary some based on local laws), and our recruiting teams will prioritize internal candidates to help as many people as possible find new roles within Amazon. For our teammates who are unable to find a new role at Amazon or who choose not to look for one, we’ll offer them transition support including severance pay, outplacement services, health insurance benefits, and more.

Some may ask why we’re reducing roles when the company is performing well. Across our businesses, we're delivering great customer experiences every day, innovating at a rapid rate, and producing strong business results. What we need to remember is that the world is changing quickly. This generation of AI is the most transformative technology we’ve seen since the Internet, and it's enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before (in existing market segments and altogether new ones). We’re convicted that we need to be organized more leanly, with fewer layers and more ownership, to move as quickly as possible for our customers and business.

Amazon is layoff 30k employees. Is Dell following Amazon soon?

Amazon to cut nearly 30K corporate jobs in largest layoff in company history

Interesting !

It seems like what people are saying is it was a small layoff..

any idea?

Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/27/amazon-corporate-jobs-cuts

How soon will Dell use this excuse?

Please which teams are being impacted and any details you can share

Let’s be honest. They don’t care about quality or people, only about cutting costs. If they can outsource us all, they will. The work will definitely suffer, but that won’t matter to them. As long as the numbers look good on paper, they’ll call it a success. That’s the sad truth of where we are now.

Does anyone know what percentage of employees are working remotely? Wondering if remote workers could be the first to get impacted.

In 2015, I heard most team members laid off like 60-80% had to be hired back. Are the odds high that we will be asked to come back again like before 3-6 months from now in 2026?

Would you guys come back to target if part of layoffs this year or it wouldn’t be as chill as before since CULTURE su-ks now compared to back in day???

HV just fired 60%+ of it's Customer Support Engineers. Left 1 CSE to cover 1-2 States. If Japan doesn't take over, HV will cease to exist in a few years.

Are we affected??

How is it that someone walked out of P66 is now doing the same to bring his minions in from the same company. Some really solid talent getting out or being walked out.

Vancouver-based social media management-platform provider Hootsuite confirmed to BIV in an email Monday afternoon that it is laying off hundreds of workers.

The company said it would not "share" exactly how many people it was laying off, but it said the cuts would be for about 20 per cent of its global workforce.

Recently T-Life broke long standing relationship with Amdocs which impacted hundreds of employees. What are your thoughts?

• You will not get meaningful information about how many were laid off
• You will not get meaningful information about what LOB/group was hit
• You will be disappointed with any information provided
• The same questions posted every week will continue to go unanswered
• Starting a new thread with the same question will not lead to better answers

Let's keep it concise so we can consolidate what little information is provided. That way the raging reich-wing boomer can go back to spam-voting their own threads about Indian employees.

Fun times, fun times indeed

Did anyone get notified they were impacted today? Or will we be told tomorrow?

Her company’s in worse shape, and the chances of her getting let go are even higher. The odds aren’t looking good for us. If we both lose our jobs, we’re honestly sc--wed. I don’t know what we’ll do if at least one of us doesn’t find something new fast. We’ve both worked hard and done everything right. This just shouldn’t be happening. Ever.

Is tomorrow is the day?

Do we think there are going to be any layoffs at CBS???

Is there any truth to rumors of a 10/30 layoff? Optum site is reporting one.

Hold my overnighted Prime beer, 30k

Damn

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Though sporadic layoff may still happen as HR is giving managers a chance to get rid of their eye sores.

They're being super quiet about it, but the fact of the matter is that there are more layoffs happening inside this company and it seems mainly due to the merger with Juniper. The surprising thing is that it isn't just traditional overlap functions like marketing or accounting, but actually in functions such as engineering. There is clearly a technology strategy but it is not being shared. Instead, they're just laying off staff to cut costs predominantly in the United States. For those of you that hoped the $1 billion dollars in savings would happen over time and might come out of other things like real estate consolidation, surprise, it's happening very fast and at payroll levels. The hypocrisy inside the company about the well-being and the pride that we have as well as being the best place to work and is ridiculously misplaced.
To make matters worse, HR is pushing forced distribution for end-of-year ratings. They may think they're telling you otherwise, but it's literally what they're doing. When questioned about this, they hide behind senior executives and their wish to do this.

Which makes me think a lot of people who actually know their stuff have been picked for layoffs. Never mind that it would be yet another self-own for the company.

Which areas are being hit in the US? People say Finance. Any others? This really feels never-ending. Good luck to everyone, and if you’re affected, I hope you find a better job very soon.

Amazon.com Inc. plans to cut corporate jobs in several key departments, including logistics, payments, video games and the cloud-computing unit, according to people familiar with the matter.

We’d probably know more by now, or at least I hope so. I could use a little more time. I got an offer for another job. Nothing spectacular, but considering how things are going here, even a so-so alternative looks better right now. I hope you’re all looking at exit options too. The market’s rough, it takes time, effort, and a lot of luck. Don’t wait for these people to catch you with your pants down.

I’d rather find out tomorrow than spend days or weeks being a nervous wreck.
