I must be brain dead for even considering coming back and working at citi after layoffs. Citi has the highest offer and has better exit package. I have another offer with lower compensation. They go through a fair share of layoffs but nothing beats citi.

New reality is layoffs are everywhere. Do I work for citi with higher pay and exit package or go lower pay and minimal exit package? What would a sane person do? Work will su-k anywhere and probably citi has the highest toxicity.

And it's simple. I think they just need to free up budget to pay the three new ex-Microsoft ProdOps executives they just brought in.

It's significantly after June

Cisco is a pump and dump for Chuck and the board. Cisco doesn't innovate anymore, it just buys other companies, slaps the Cisco logo on it, and calls it macaroni. The ONLY way Cisco can boost the stock price is by (A) laying off employees or (B) Buying something. But it's short term ..the stock goes up for a bit , levels off and comes back down. If you have or get RSU, (more like IOU) it's a carrot on a stick. When they lay you off you lose any unvested stock. Start looking for jobs but if your in good financial shape, hold on as long as possible until your RSUs vest. The layoffs will pick up the pace, export more within 6 months. DON'T VOLUNTEER ANY AUTOMATION IDEAS! Your sc--wing your co-workers over. Make yourself as indispensable as possible by taking on as much work as possible (especially if your customer billable). If you work in Collab/WebEx ..time to change technology path...learn SDWAN or Security.

Why aren’t tech workers in countries with weak labor protections organizing unions? The Samsung chip employees’ strike and subsequent payout amid record profits shows it works. TSMC workers may be next. So what’s actually stopping unionization in tech? At places like NetApp, it feels like a race to the bottom.

Anyone who thinks there's a real plan behind all this, with every detail figured out, is kidding themselves. We've watched the same pattern play out, mainly cuts based on the bottom line, while bad managers and useless roles sail through. The only difference afterward? More work for the people who stay. And yeah, it's always worse.

SDH Education West, LLC, doing business as Sodexo, filed WARN notices. The company plans to lay off 489 employees in Phoenix. Sodexo provides catering and facilities management services.

Hey folks?
Is it true that whole IBM EMEA Talent Acquisition Team (90%) is laid off who was supporting Kyndryl Account?
Only a few are retained who were on B5.

Any comments?

Many public universities are implementing significant budget cuts. These actions include hiring freezes, layoffs, and structural changes.

After every layoff round, they grow even more. I think most of us have stopped even trying to meet them. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. Bending over backwards to do extra work and deliver results isn't going to save anyone's job. We'll just regret the wasted energy later.

I joined four months ago, should I be worried about layoffs?

Republic National Distributing Company plans to close all Washington facilities. This action will affect 267 employees across four sites.

Results are great, but I haven't been here long enough to know if that means that layoffs are not a threat for now? Does Comcast cut people even when results are good? I'm asking because my old company sadly had layoffs even when we were achieving record profit.

Even when we're supposed to be safe, there's always that thought in the back of my mind, ever since we were completely blindsided one time. I just want to be able to focus on my work once again without stressing and worrying, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Geodis Logistics is closing a facility. This closure will result in 185 layoffs. The facility is located in Middlesex Township, Pennsylvania. It will close no later than August 31, 2026. The company filed a WARN notice regarding the permanent layoffs.

While it took me a while to accept it, now I know there's no future here. It makes me sad since I've been here for over a decade and I've had some good times working here, but it is what it is.

Frequent cuts, endless political games, and ever-changing job descriptions are just few of the things wrong here. There's also no clear direction from the top. Most of us just show up and try to survive whatever the day throws at us.

But kept the H1B/OPT/visa holders.

There are many things wrong with Wells Fargo right now, from bad management and toxic culture to constant layoffs, but the worst part is the politics. It feels like every decision is about someone's agenda rather than what actually makes sense. I've never seen anything like it in my 20+ year long career.

With how often we have layoffs, all of us have two choices. Run ourselves into the ground and hope for the best, or just kiss up to our boss and call it job security. One is a gamble. The other is gross but effective. Pick your poison.

Will be closed down.

Expect sometime in early Q3 to be announced.

I remember having job security once upon a time. We switched to a constant threat of layoffs too easily. It bothers me how all of us just accept that this is normal, when it's anything but.

Many Massachusetts school districts are facing budget cuts. These cuts follow recent agreements on new teacher contracts. The contracts included substantial pay raises and benefits for staff. Districts like Boston, Newton, and Marblehead have announced layoffs. Rising costs and state funding limitations also contribute to the shortfalls.

That is awful news for Nike because after collapse of DTC, Nike needs more doors than ever before!!! There are no new stores coming down the pipeline and existing ones are going down the pipe.
I guess that is when you say Nike is stuck in a rock and a harp place!!

Brick and mortar shoe stores are done!!! So it is up to Nike to create new source of doors to move their product.
Brick and mortar is done!! So what Nike should do is open third party sellers in amazon, walmart and ebay to sell in that platform who are there with proven good standing status.
Nike cannot open more independent brick and mortar stores since nobody in right mind will open stores.
So Nike needs to go outside of box and open independent third party sellers in internet!!!

The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office announced 33 layoffs in early March. These cuts primarily impacted the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

How many of you will stay (or leave) if the eliminated the pension plan?

Many people post on here about where is all the work going to go with layoffs? None of this has been addressed since VSP 1.0.. We were wasting so much money of useless “projects”, meetings, reviews, slide decks, paralysis by analysis, that the thousands and thousands of people RIF’d have made no significant impact to progress. VZ is changing and those useless projects will all cease once the gutting is done. It’s unnecessary work and those doing to work will not be replaced. The end of VZ as we knew it is happening in front of us, daily. Su-ks, but that’s reality when you are up to your eyeballs in debt and only answer to analysts and shareholders.

I think revenue will continue to decline, staff numbers will decrease every year and the company might survive as a content company , cloud based with around 8k employees

It's also conceivable that content may not even save us as better products become available. If this is the case then the company will likely dissolve in around 5 years time

The constant layoffs, getting treated poorly, the “f* you attitude, acting like vipers, the politics, blaming all from management builds an incredibly toxic environment that we have become products of. When we push back and act short, direct and have the same “f” you attitude management needs to stop clutching your pearl necklaces. you built this, you made this environment. Do you not think we can’t get new jobs? We can, but not before we tell you to go “f” yourselves.

It might not stop there though. We are living in a very dangerous world and it’s important our managers watch their steps.

Remember - you made us.

I can't think of a single reason to stay here, but I can think of about a hundred reasons to leave.
