#layoffs

Is anyone actually sleeping normally with all of this going on? I’m almost at the point where I just want it to happen tomorrow, whether I’m laid off or not, just so I can move on. This whole situation is taking a toll on my mental health, and that’s starting to spill over into my physical health too. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

HP San Diego Closure, the end of an era (the era when HP put employees above stock price).

"The handling of the closure of HP’s San Diego office has been a mess. Some people have received move or exit packages and know their last day and others have received nothing. We are being told that it is with HR and only they know. The site is closing on Oct 31 so the final date is known but nothing else is. Anyone else seeing this? This is really disappointing how badly this is being handled."

For those interested, I found the user group in Active Directory that IT uses to facilitate the walkout process and prevent system access by terminated employees. That user group had 793 accounts added to it today. A handful of those were duplicates (folks to had elevated access privileges via ADM accounts. So I'd estimate some 750-775 got walked out today.

Hello, I recently received an offer from AWS Proserve for a Sr Deliver Consultant role and wanted to know about the team.
Few points are :

1) How stable is the team? Are the frequent PIPs and layoffs?
2) How’s the medium term future of Proserve? Are there projects?
3) Is the delivery consultant more hands on role or is it more talking?

Thanks

Let have some numbers so we can see how many more people need to be laid off this round.

Can Halliburton continue to outperform and deliver pretty impressive results with less personnel and more anxiety in the work place

The Interior Department plans to eliminate more than 2,000 positions across its headquarters, agencies and bureaus throughout the country as part of a reduction in force that officials say is not related to the ongoing government shutdown, but happened to coincide with it.

Costs went down, but so did quality. Now we spend twice as long fixing mistakes that never used to happen. Figure that.

Creative Testing Solutions, the largest nonprofit blood donor testing lab company in the U.S., notified the Texas Workforce Commission that it will permanently close its facility at 4401 Freidrich Lane and lay off all employees at the site by Dec. 12. The positions range from managers and supervisors to testing technologists and trainers.

Layoff today in JA org!

But that never happens, because they don’t give a damn about the employees or how any of this affects us.

Looks like they want to replace a lot of claims positions and coding roles with this new AI system Optum Real?

All areas in Optum insight are impacted, each team is looking at a 10-20% reduction. 10/30 is the date, but due to the number of people, may have to do it in waves.

Should know by early Nov. There is QBR on 3 Nov in Singapore. It's with HT so it's basically final by then. Mid management being trimmed.

Nearly a dozen positions that directly support students were among those eliminated in a sweeping round of layoffs at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences earlier this month, according to a document obtained by The Crimson.

Roughly 35 staff members — or about 15 percent of SEAS’ total staff — were affected by the cost-cutting measure designed to mitigate the impacts of federal actions, the document showed.

zero communication so far

looks like there might be more coming

SAP keeps getting rid of all the seasoned employees because they’re too expensive and wants fresh, young people to fix the company. Problem is, nothing about the way SAP works changed after any layoffs. They just swapped people and called it innovation. And now it's shocking it's not working out.

Work seems to be slowing down across all branches pack your bags and get ready for the boot.

Whenever there are cuts somewhere else, I feel like that's just a prelude for us. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I can't help it.

had a meeting with scott toller and HR rollingon will not go past 2026. Facility is relocating to forth worth. Everyone got a letter will have 60 days prior to closing. Time to look for a new job fellas.

Hard work won’t save any of us from being laid off. So take it easy, at least until this round is over. Or better yet, always. It’s not like being reliable and dedicated has ever really paid off anyway.

Any truth to these rumors? If the answer is yes, fu-k Citi. That's all.

Point32Health, the state’s second largest health insurance company, is eliminating 254 jobs in its second workforce reduction of the year. The layoffs will impact approximately 6.5% of Point32’s workforce.

Maryland-based a.i. solutions, Inc. plans to start layoffs in early December, the company said in the recent notice filed Friday with the Alabama Department of Commerce.

1. Given the mix of signals: yes, there is a non‐trivial chance something will happen (at least in some business units).
2. No, the rumor of an across-the-board, massive layoff next Tuesday is not firmly substantiated. It’s best treated as a possibility being promoted by this contributors who are scared or repeating rumors, not a certainty.
3. So if we were to assign rough probabilities (just an estimate):
   A. Some layoffs in certain units in the near term: ~60-70%
   B. A broad, company-wide massive layoff next Tuesday: maybe ~30-40% or less
   C. The status quo (no major layoffs) is still plausible: ~20-30%

Target has been doing smaller, quiet moves all year. There isn’t a need nor desire to do something so massive that it further erodes consumer confidence, invites more scrutiny from additional boycotts, and possibly drives away top talent while paralyzing those who stay. More likely it will be continued, surgical cuts while bolstering/hiring for areas that leadership believes will drive positive change for shareholders.

I know it’s tough not to panic, but take a breath. You have zero control over what happens to you and your peers, unfortunately.

Bumping this from @bn+1k819dxn1.

It's officially Tuesday... is this the week? Someone must know for sure, a lot of chatter on the site. Many large meetings were canceled and almost 60 days till end of year. I really wish the company would just do a yearly VSP instead of rifs. It would be easier on everyone who wants to stay another year or leave.

If more layoffs are supposed to happen this week, then I'm assuming it's going to start today? Tuesday through Thursday are usually layoff days, for whatever reason.

Those of us impacted by the FIS sale, please be aware that FIS is scheduled for a major reduction in force on November 19th. Word is this will include many of us that were hoping for a stable place to land.
The wonderful company we work for is also about to make another cut. Some managers met yesterday, other meetings will be held this week. It doesnt look good. So glad I started applying to other places. I am done with this bs.

6% headcount reduction ask by end of q1 2026 acrossthe board. YE process used to identify along with freeze on any new backfill requests from November 1st and retirements.. Usual stuff combination of all

Next week is going to be a whole different world in the office and in many people's personal lives. Thousands of colleagues (any maybe you) gone. New bosses and teams to navigate. Cancelled projects. Empty desks. End of a long era at an old-school studio finally coming to an end. Good luck, all.

I'm almost at the point where I hope layoffs happen, just so I can move on from the constant thinking and stressing over it. It's inhumane to say layoffs are coming and then just...what? Let us wait? Hope the stress is enough to get us to walk out on our own and save them some money? Is that what's happening here?

I’m on my second company and third layoff since 2023, and at this point I’ve stopped pretending to be shocked. Every new job swears it’s different, then the same script plays out months later. This just goes to show that the grass is not all that greener on the other side.

We might get one big round that everyone’s waiting for, but it won’t be the end. We can expect smaller, targeted cuts to keep happening for months until things look the way they want them to. None of us will be safe for a long time. Sadly, this is just our reality now.
