#layoffs

Tomorrow is Termination Tuesday! Anyone have any deets on the targeted areas ?

How are things for GOA petrotechs right now? What sort of cuts are they communicating and are they centralizing yall to houston like they did in S&T?

Associates no longer trust leadership because of their random layoffs. Hopefully those who are still there will remember the dynamics when the next associate satisfaction survey comes out. The typical cycle happens in that the Site Leader will bring in a modest lunch to give the impression of associate appreciation before they drag everyone thru the dirt for the following 11 months. For those who stay long enough to feel like you're being loyal, consider all of the holiday seasons you miss out on before they lay you off

He said he had to get axed before another mass layoff , delay of all hands screams of another big cut , or they are all so inept at managing that the are trying to rewrite the narrative ? Will the stock drop from a sell off as soon as the C suite opens their mouths again ?

Anyone aware of layoffs in Operations Risk? I heard of some today but no real details.

Mayor Mike Johnston's office said all layoff notifications will go out over the course of a week, beginning Aug. 18.

With more bad news about the company coming out, layoffs are starting to feel closer and more likely. The outgoing CEO did say a couple of weeks ago that they might become unavoidable. Wondering if anyone’s heard anything new.

Have you seen the L3Harris (LHX) stock price recently? It is taking off like a rocket. Those “adjustments” they made after the layoffs must have really paid off!!!!

Based on what people have been reporting, it looks like there were more layoffs today. Does anyone know if these will continue throughout the week? Last week was already rough. Wishing everyone the best of luck.

Wellmore, a Grundy-based producer of metallurgical coal, will cut 72 jobs in Buchanan County by mid-October, according to letters it sent to state officials.

Welp, there goes the neighborhood!
Some marketing and product but not sure who else

ER is swept under the rug for the field. The jargon makes it hard to remember that GPs, LPs and coworkers are being laid off. Some of us search it out, but most don’t see what is happening at all. MP dragged this out so that it does not seem like a big deal when it happens. Make sure you are remembered. Talk to the people in the field and tell them the sickening truth. Tell them about your fear, your anger, your exhaustion. Growth will be built upon your sacrifice, willing or not. Make sure they know. Be remembered.

Hey all, I was among the 21 last week. I am so sad. HR told us we were going to be supported during our 60 day job hunt but they were no where to be found. I'm certain none of us had a chance to find a new role at Target. My team is talented, respected, and qualified for a lot of the open roles yet none of us could land anything. We HUSTLED in the 60 days. I personally applied to 16 different internal roles my skills would have made sense for and I got one interview which was amazing but I got rejected. Same story with 4 others on my team. I am convinced we never had a chance and it pi---s me off they led us on. Stupid i know but I didn't apply externally at all because I wanted to stay so badly. Lesson learned. 18 years with the company and no thank yous or I'm sorry from leadership. It stings but now I know how it is. I was so naive having grown up there.

What the he-l is going on with GNAL?? Have a ton of people quit or been laid off or is this just due to the new system? It’s been terrible for the last 2 months and we have no connection with our teams to know what’s really happening. Are people being laid off?

the warning posts were correct, had a HR meeting this morning for my whole team we were laid off, I don't know which other teams or lacations where affected but heard 75 total laid off in KYC our team is only 13 people.

I just had a former CDW coworker let me know that the jobs of a few people who were let go in July are now posted on LinkedIn. These were longer-term coworkers who were making a clear and critical impact for CDW who were let go--all of them in their late 40s/early 50s.

And now CDW tries to rehire for those jobs?

I see a lawsuit in CDW's future.

So I seem to remember during the Facebook and Google massacres, there were reports that people were just getting asked to come back, not even interview.

https://www.hcamag.com/us/specialization/benefits/meta-rehiring-staff-after-massive-job-cuts-reports/460837

I wonder if the same thing will happen here.

If you were laid off, would you come back of asked?

Think there should a pause before another CPM wave right?

This info I from several posters on LinkedIn:
Splunk and General Engineers, Product Data Scientists at Duo, Webex- Product, Engineering and Customer Experience.

👉Other Rumoured impacts: Technical Assistance Center(TAC), Appdynamics, Meraki, Wireless Services, Public Sales/ International.

👉Webex losing ground to Microsoft Teams. Integration Challenges with Sp--k. These two units are described as Death Spiral.

👉Severance is Reportedly Minimal for those with less than 10 years of Service.

Rumor there's been recent layoffs effective immediately....anyone know anything or been impacted?

"Oracle blood bath is happening big time starting from yesterday (8/and still going on as of today. Oracle Cloud (OCI), Netsuite, VB, Jet, My SQL and other areas majorly affected.
No official numbers yet but around 10%.
Affected across roles:

H1Bs and US citizens
Employees based in India and in the US
Employees at all levels up to SVP
Low performers and high performers
New joiners and employees with 20 years at Oracle
Engineers and Project Managers"

Entire traffic department getting laid off, and jobs are being sold to Indian company Wipro.

For those of us still in South Florida, hurricane season is here ! The Forecasters are predicting some big storms this fall with a couple of potential direct monster hits to Florida east coast. How many days will Boca be closed with the storms and it makes no sense to have a critical facility for disaster recovery in hurricane alley. Can’t get everything moved to the cloud fast enough before the layoffs storms hit.

I’ve been hearing more and more about small numbers of people being let go here and there. Weren’t we supposed to have an official large round of layoffs in Aug or Sept?

Got laid off last week, never seen one this bad, but I and many talented co-workers got swept up in this mess. Oracle really sc--wed up imo. It's really soured me on the tech industry. I'm in my early 50's, ~$4 million net worth, wondering if I should try this rodeo again, or just be done with it - go find something more meaningful to do (earning far less money) and just enjoy life. What would you do?

I know a lot of us are weighing the EOI decision, and it isn’t easy. But here’s the reality: if you don’t take the EOI and land another role, you won’t receive any severance. On top of that, the Houston move date is essentially locked for July 2026.

For me, the culture here has shifted for the worse, and I don’t believe it’s worth uprooting and relocating. There are plenty of opportunities in the Bay Area worth pursuing instead. That’s why I’ve decided to take the EOI.

To those still on the fence, I truly wish you good luck in whatever path you choose. Just make sure it’s a choice that sets you up best for the future, because staying until July 2026 could mean walking away with nothing.

I recently chatted with a friend who specializes in restructurings, and she shared some thoughts on reimagined.

The duration and scale of this consulting project indicate that the target for headcount reduction is more than 15%.

ISPs are probably going to lose access to their laptops within a week. The 60-day period to reapply for other positions is likely nonsense. Once ISPs are informed, they won’t want them snapping photos of sensitive client data and sharing it on the dark web.

They probably had an idea of who they were letting go back in January. Typically, leaders assess their employees based on current skills and their potential for retraining.

Despite all the dishonesty and deceit, my friend believes PP is doing well. Her aim is to boost GP profits, and cutting over 1000 jobs will definitely enhance GP returns.

Happy Hunger Games!

I hate this period of not knowing so I am trying to get a sense of when these would happen. I know no one knows yet, but does anyone have any guesses or inside information?

OEM team had the buggiest hit, ~ 50%+ including SVPs, PMs, DEV, and support

anyone knows if ORACLE is returning OEM? roadmap?

This is mostly for non-Oracle people reading this mess. I've summarized last 100 posts here on layoffs.com:

Based on the provided text, Oracle is in the process of a major, multi-phase reduction in its workforce. The layoffs are described by employees as part of a strategic shift to cut costs and reinvest in artificial intelligence (AI).

The layoffs are impacting a broad range of employees across different departments, levels, and regions.

• Geographic Locations: The cuts are confirmed to have impacted the US, specifically in California and Arizona, with 161 layoffs in Seattle alone and 143 in the Bay Area. Layoffs have also been reported in Canada and India, with "hundreds of roles affected."
• Business Units & Teams: The primary focus of the layoffs appears to be the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) division. Specific teams and products mentioned as being affected include:
  • Fusion Applications (FA)
  • Database (DB)
  • NetSuite, with the entire support team in Canada (60 people) and teams in Kitchener being laid off.
  • JET, VB, and ADF product teams.
  • Legacy applications like EBS, Siebel, and PeopleSoft.
  • Industries such as Utilities and Construction.
  • The OCI AI team and AI/ML project management roles.
• Employee Profile: The layoffs are not targeting a single demographic. The text notes that cuts are being made to "H1Bs and US citizens," "Employees based in India and in the US," and "Employees at all levels up to SVP." It is also mentioned that "High performers" and those with "Exceeds Expectations" ratings were let go, along with long-time employees with over 20 years of tenure. One post claims a "senior VP" with "25yrs poof" was laid off.

The layoffs are not a single event but a phased process occurring over several months.

• Mid-August: The initial wave began with meetings and notifications in mid-August, with some employees' access being cut off immediately after a short call.
• September: Multiple sources point to a major wave in September, with one post stating, "EMEA will be hit in September. The list of people is in the system already." Another says, "September 2nd is what I heard for another unit in Europe."
• October: Public WARN filings in California and Washington confirm layoffs taking effect around mid-October. A post mentions, "Next round is Oct 13-15 based upon USA WARN filings in WA and CA."

The provided text suggests that more layoffs are to come and offers various reasons for the cuts.

• Total Number of Layoffs: There is no official number, but rumors and estimates range from 8,000 to "10% across entier company," which would be approximately 18,000 people.
• Strategic Direction: The main reason cited is a strategic shift to cut costs and reinvest in AI. The text explicitly states, "The supposed GDP boosts from hiring workers failed to materialize in reality due to the fact that all wages paid are getting saved instead of circulating throughout the economy." The company is reportedly shifting from a "cash cow" model to "reinvest it in AI."
• Managerial Structure: The text suggests that the company is "bloated with middle tier manager's" and that a "Mid mgmt reduction" is necessary.
• Severance and Benefits: Severance packages are reported to be "4 weeks for first year of employment. One more week for each additional year of employment. Maximum is 26 weeks." Employees have concerns about what happens to their unvested Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), with some noting that they "lost the other 3" years of stock. One employee mentions, "Our group lost a few who were close to retiring anyway but also a few who had no plans. The job market is never as good as you would like but it can always be worse."
• Morale and Culture: The layoffs have had a significant negative impact on morale, with employees expressing feelings of shock, disbelief, and survivor's guilt. The text quotes a post that reads, "You are cattle." and another stating, "I'm getting the fu--k out of here ASAP...I've never seen this before."

There are some people not doing so well since being laid off. Seriously not doing well. Please seek help.

Feeling anxious and depressed, having trouble sleeping, not being able to enjoy activities that you are used to enjoying are all normal feelings that you may experience after a layoff.

If these feeling persist over time it may be useful to be assessed by a doctor and/or mental health professional. Layoffs can put a lot of emotional stress on relationships and it may be useful to consult with a mental health professional about this as well.

Anybody have the inside scoopetypoop?

Sr. Manager here. I read this board every so often but, please don't get complacent and feel like you are safe right now. Unfortunately, it's not quite done. Last week was the majority but there is another round this coming Monday. I have 5 meetings with HR and my directs that I don't want to be in next week. Good luck .

Based on what people are sharing, these layoffs seem massive and widespread. Why are we being kept in the dark? The lack of communication is making an already difficult situation far more stressful and disorienting than it needs to be.

Facilities involved include:

• Harvester Works in East Moline, Ill.: 115 (last day of work Aug. 29)
• Seeding and Cylinder in Moline, Ill.: 52 (last day of work Sept. 26)
• Foundry in Waterloo, Iowa: 71 (last day of work Sept. 19)

Sr. Director here.

Had my 1x1 with my SVP yesterday and was told that I likely will have to cut 5 people. I was told that this is company wide and most, if not all, departments and teams will be hit with a minimum of 10% for each team. Apparently it comes down to which is "cheaper" - cut ties with a vendor and get rid of a necessary tool, or cut people. In this case, it's sadly people. She couldn't tell me much but it sounds like it's supposed to be fairly big.

Another 7 or 8 people from marketing let go this week.

I know we're having layoffs weekly, but I was kind of expecting there to be a bigger cut at the start of h2. Still looking at feb 2026?

Just got LR’d yesterday, G10 RTP Collab. The team environment was politically charged and pathetic. Only bootlickers are safe. Not sure how I made this far in the group.
