Ysleta Independent School District faces a significant budget deficit. Superintendent Xavier De La Torre is considering future layoffs for 2027. This possibility stems from declining student enrollment and state funding losses. The district hopes a November tax ratification election will boost revenue. YISD previously offered separation incentives, with 160 teachers accepting.

Portland experienced a significant job decline in 2025. This loss is largely attributed to struggles at Intel and Nike. Intel announced 4,500 layoffs, and Nike announced 740 layoffs. These job cuts stem from internal company decisions and market challenges. The article argues these issues, not local business climate, caused the decline.

Portland Public Schools faces a $56.3 million budget deficit for the upcoming year. Superintendent Dr. Kimberlee Armstrong proposes 336 full-time employee layoffs, including 180 educators. The district and its teachers union urge the state to tap a $1 billion Education Stability Fund. However, Governor Tina Kotek and the Legislature are not interested in releasing these reserve funds. Declining enrollment, high pension rates, and increasing personnel costs contribute to PPS's budget woes.

Do they even have enough space for everybody at some of these locations? I won't be surprised if they perform a big layoff before or slightly after the rto date.
Who is was better?
My original post was deleted so I’ll filter this one. What counts as a reorg for a layoff?
Half of my group is moving to another manager, but not a BU. The head of my department is losing half of their downloaded. Am I at risk?
They've been telling you all that there are more coming. More outsourcing. More cost cutting.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.
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.
What is called "layoff estimates" are partially part of normal attrition, limitations are covered in details in comments.
I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.
We make so much money so explain why in the world they always letting people go
Too many reports of people 55+ being let go in disproportionate numbers.
I am afraid that laying off people here and there won't cut it.
Sh-t started going down on last years of MP
And 3 or 4 years of JD's sh-t
And 18 months of EH feeble efforts.
That means that Nike has been on downward slide for 7 to 9 years.
And pandemic's boost made d-mb JD a distorted view of reality, leading or not leading to cliff that we are experiencing.
EH's small scale effort will not change anything. He can layoff until he is the last one left. We might as have same or better result praying and knocking on the woods!!!
I heard potentially thousands of layoffs.
Unsure the total amount but dozens, if not over 100 HCA IT colleagues went through Layoffs today. Developers, Identity and Access resources and more being reported.
can one of the origional posters about the mass layoffs before may 1 please provide an update on what you know? Tomorrow is May 1. Should we assume we will he laid off in the morning? Or has this been canceled? I have also spent alot of time online trying to find out about the WARN notice and everything I have found says that Sunrun has not filed a WARN notice I'm the month of april.
If you do not believe that layoffs are coming, then just scroll past.. do not have to respond it saying fake news..
I want to hear from someone here if anyone has first hand info on layoffs.. which orgs are being targeted and is it targeting individual contributors or managers or evenly distributed
Does anyone have a rough idea of how many people were just laid off?
Anyone else notice the internal job posting site is down on the day of layoffs?
I saw in another post that 30% of OI employees would be impacted. Doesn't seem that way. Anyone know if they can give you notice on 5/1 vs. today?
Do the not read the room? Folks are constantly worried about layoffs. Can’t afford groceries with the minimal raises and no promotion opportunities but hey donate to the PAC.
The career progression is like this: You work to improve yourself over 25 years in semiconductors. You will become an expert who can resolve all special taks. save money, improve yield and make projects successfull. Everybody is happy, but.....the salary increases over years......Finally they will lay you off because your salary is too high, higher than graduate´s salary. Managment does not understand that what moves the company forward is the technical experties and speed. It is not important anymore, what only matters are cheap incompetent graduates who are asap hired mainly from none technical fields because they are cheaper than graduates from technicial fields. All slows down, projects slow downs or crash, problems remain unresloved, yield is terrible, customers lots..... Well seniors are fired and youner ones cannot cope with it.... Solution? They repeat the same mistakes over and over.....Perhaps the company shall be renamed to "Inferno Hindmalay Semiconductors Technologies GmbH".
Texas lags in artificial intelligence job growth despite high salaries. A study ranked Texas 36th nationally for AI job listings. Oracle Corp. laid off over 25,000 employees recently. These job cuts are tied to AI investments and company reorganization. Other major tech companies also reduced staff due to AI implementation.

#AI-mad Verizon to continue with cuts after CEO's jobs warning
Verizon CEO Dan Schulman has now completed the 13,000 layoffs he promised last November, but more could lie ahead. [ Lightreading 📰].
Iain Morris,International Editor,Light Reading — April 30, 2026
Company bosses occasionally praise their employees in public and note the importance of talent. That doesn't quite ring true when they are cutting thousands of jobs, as many are, which might partly explain why lauding AI is now much more fashionable. Attributing job cuts to the solid efforts of the new AI recruit, which bosses have anthropomorphized by saying it is an "agent" or does "reasoning," is even trendier.
It's quite a turnaround from a few years ago, when linking #automation, let alone AI, to job losses was as taboo as nudity in the workplace. No, no, managers frowned, new tech will merely liberate workers from drudgery and provide time for more satisfying pursuits. This was obviously before generative #AI (GenAI) threatened to liberate content creators from creating content so they could spend more time cleaning laptop screens or making tea – until GenAI turned out to be a duff substitute prone to mendacity.
Regardless, investors, if not employees, like the sound of a super-lean and highly profitable company run by AI rather than people. Fearful of missing out on a new tech bonanza, authorities have stopped worrying about the risks and jumped. Suddenly, the hallucinating software developed by a strange cult of effective altruists is being foisted on the world's population by governments and companies of all types. No longer taboo, the linkage between #AI and #joblessness has been normalized in that process.
Into this maelstrom stepped Dan Schulman on October 6 last year, when he was appointed CEO of Verizon, one of the biggest telecom operators in the US (and, therefore, the world). It has been a major US employer, with more than 180,000 members of staff back in 2012. Yet by the time Schulman joined, just 100,000 were left after multiple rounds of restructuring and #layoffs.
Schulman's Verizon shrank even more rapidly during his first three months in charge and already seems to feature more agents than The Matrix. It's "where we have agent-building capabilities," was how he described part of Verizon's AI tech stack to equity analysts on the company's earnings call this week. Another layer "is where we deploy agents," he continued. The cost cutting looks set to go on.
'Never send a human to do a machine's job'
In the last decade, most of the job losses at #Verizon have had very little to do with AI and almost nothing to do with its generative version, which did not even exist until around three-and-a-half years ago, when the company was already down to fewer than 120,000 employees. Even so, another 30,000 had disappeared by the end of last year, including about 10,000 since Schulman took over. In November, he had warned staff of plans to cut 13,000 jobs. All those now seem to have been cut. "We're running leaner with the 13,000 reduction behind us," said Tony Skiadas, Verizon's CFO, on the earnings call.
