#layoffs

I’ve been at Nike for a while in a level 35, I just assumed directors and sr directors made a little more than me. Then talking to colleagues that are friends, didn’t realize directors make 200k+, sr directors 300k+. I feel like 75% of my team is directors & sr directors and now everything happening makes more sense. Not sure if those numbers are correct, but if they are with the amount of directors and sr directors at the company I understand why we are cutting all these jobs. 4 of the directors on my team don’t even have a report lol.

Its being said that next round is going to be in May itself rather than June

In two weeks, a RIF will take place at WI ,Wealth & Brokerage. The SL/CL roles will be combined, and SLs will be asked to assume G8 positions. GCL roles with fewer than 8–10 direct reports will be eliminated. In most cases, GSLs will take over the responsibilities of GCLs.

Super ready for this nightmare to be over

Leadership at AirMI is trash. Laying off the people who do the work and taking forever while doing so. Soon they will be blowing smoke about the “change curve” and “new ways of working.” Please get fu---d!
Also good luck to my fellows under Satan’s least favorite group of gals: AS and MC. I hope the misery ends soon.

My peers who were let go were the highest contributors.

This does not make sense what so ever.

We tried to warn you early on a couple years ago that both outsourcing and AI was coming for al of our jobs. But you simply did not want to listen.

Well, now it is coming for your jobs as well. You should have listened and joined your voices with ours, when there may have been a chance if enough people would have early on voiced their concerns and complaints as to what we were all seeing.

Perhaps, leadership would have expressed upstream their employees frustration. And maybe senior leadership would have given in and taken a different course.

Dan's December 2025 layoff impacted 90% of young talented individuals in india. Who used to support across the time working with US folks. While senior went untouched in the layoffs. Doing nothing just pretending they are only key pillars.

Very nervous about the next two weeks. Anyone know the potential impact to SL in WI? My group is thin so it’s baffling to think we will be impacted.

Prepare yourselves across all functions...

"Business Update" meetings will start showing up on Star Wars Day from your leader

#Layoffs

Something coming for H1b. Just under debate. H1b extensions will also be cut down drastically.

Setting a minimum H-1B wage of $200,000 per year
Barring H-1B workers from holding multiple jobs and prohibiting third-party staffing agencies from employing them
Disallowing H-1B workers from bringing dependents to the United States
Prohibiting federal agencies from sponsoring or employing nonimmigrant workers
Ending Optional Practical Training (OPT)

Just got word from union rep appears they are offering a 10k buyout shortly to entice employees to quit instead of collecting whatever garbage unemployment is available. Sounds like another big wave of layoffs is in the future until the shareholders are satisfied. I encourage everyone to start looking for other employment while you can

For too long useless management employees have been su-kling the te-t of AT&T, fattening themselves off of the milk of other’s labor. Let the layoffs begin so we can maximize revenue per employee and become a market based culture where you have to compete for your position and earnings in the company.

Always the good ones they seem to let go

Basically this is a way for a company to downsize older workers (and their higher salaries ) without breaking the law. Its not so much about making it less brutal.

The rest of the workforce is told it's less brutal because those who take severence are about to retire anyway. It simply accelerates that choice.

Legal Requirements

Employers typically offer severance in exchange for the employee signing a General Release of Claims, which prevents them from suing the company for wrongful termination or discrimination.

Review Periods: Under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), employees aged 40+ must be given 21 days to review an individual agreement (45 days for group layoffs) and 7 days to revoke their signature.
The federal WARN Act requires employers with 100+ workers to provide 60 days' notice for mass layoffs. Failure to provide notice often results in the employer paying 60 days of salary as a penalty, which effectively acts as a mandated severance

Going to be he-l week; instead of wellness week lol

This site should be one that provides information for those who have been affected by a layoff. It has devolved into name calling, bashing the company, and just saying mean things about current employees. Seriously, if you just want to say mean stuff, go post on Twitter.

There are repeater posters on here that are doing nothing but trying to scare people that all is lost. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Here's the link to the video:

Budget cut is the explanation

It’s a blood bath

This was a slow week for Dell news on the layoff.com. Everyone must be happy the stock is chugging along.

are exit conversations happening all week?

I've been hearing there are no more set schedule of when layoffs will happen. They can happen every week. Anyone know more about this?

Watch this space.

Nepotism is everywhere, sure, but this place has industrialized it. Leadership’s kids, cousins, college roommates, golf buddies, family friends, Intel connections, and basically anyone who’s ever made it onto the holiday card list get quietly slotted into comfortable roles, while layoffs sm--k around the downtrodden and the rest of us sit here waiting to see whose number gets called next. And somehow, they still have the audacity to parade it all over LinkedIn and every other social platform like it’s a leadership masterclass, a kind of “how to succeed in business” series where step one is simply being related to the right person. At this point, merit isn’t just optional, it’s almost suspicious.

It’s happening.

Since not enough of you volunteered to ensure that we can continue to receive SLT and EC level bonuses we are gong to let go the volunteers that we determine necessary and e have a separate list that we will be letting people go from. We will be reducing the total headcount by 15%

Don’t worry though we are seeing improved margins and orders coming in form customers. Are marketing efforts are starting to seeped up and take off and the future is bright for those whom are remaining

The people we lost...they're some of our best! What's the point in giving it your all if it won't keep you safe?

This is the time of the year. May or Jun.

Meta & Microsoft...USAA will for sure experience the similar situation especially in tech where it is so much shaky. Zero psychological safety the core Agile principle for success.

Layoffs go into effect May 20, 2026.

Per Bloomberg News and confirmed.

Also, it’s closing 6,000 open roles.

I am sorry this is happening and leaders like MF should be fired and mid tier manager; that don't know how to manage up and balance.

Wonder what is the valid reason they going to give...

Same playbook, different reason.

"An estimated 7% of Microsoft’s 125,000-person U.S. workforce, or about 8,750 employees, would be eligible... Microsoft itself laid off more than 15,000 employees last year and began requiring workers in the Seattle region to return to the office three days a week."

For us that was affected by the recent restructuring RIF, how's the job market in your area? The job market is bad and no one wants to hire experienced talent anymore.

You're too old, you're too expensive and only offering 1099 contact jobs well below your old salary with zero benefits. Sorry, got a family, life and mortgage to pay and that sorry severance package is not going to cover it. They say the average is now 9 months plus for tech people to find a new position.

How are the others on the "restructuring/post-merger" fun club doing?

I guess the ones left back at Ansys are getting cost of living raises and covering all the leftover work from the ones that got the chopping block.

They had layoffs on March 19th, cutting just under 100 people, again yesterday April 23rd and rumor has it there will be another one on May 22nd. Under 100 means they don’t have to disclose anything and keep on going.

The PGA Tour cut 56 full-time employees. This reduction impacts about four percent of its staff. These changes follow a $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group. A new CEO model is now in place. A shorter schedule and new markets are under consideration.
