#rumor

Can anyone confirm/deny if there will be layoffs at the corporate HQ’s this upcoming month?

So is it officially gone or what? I’d rather be told it’s discontinued than be told it’s still waiting for approval.

Please post here throughout the week if you hear anything about the potential 3/19 RIF, information is power....

I heard a rumor that Shell will announce a spin off of chemicals after first quarter results if they are “good enough” (whatever that means) and will fire the leadership team if results are below that threshold. Any confirmation? Other rumors?

Anything confirmed? Rumors are all over the place.

A lot of rumors have been flying around the office lately, though nothing sounds substantiated. I just can't figure out why layoffs talk suddenly picked up. If anyone knows anything, please share.

does anyone think a 3rd round of closings will happen?

Anything new on April layoffs at Western Union? There were so many rumors flying around, and then total silence. Not sure what to make of it.

Do you think at this stage, given the scale of redundancies already undertaken, that we are relatively safe from the 'sweeping layoffs' being announced elsewhere? No mo--nic responses please.

The number is larger than we assumed, so it's going to take some time to figure things out and set everything up. This'll be another long wait.

doubt LT or HR is reading posts from this site, but they probably should

regardless, maybe they'll stumble here and read this 4 sentence summary from the last 14 days of posts here.
yes, they should be getting a rolling 14 day feed to their inbox daily, but probably can't figure out how to do that, or if they even care, tbh

well, here it is anyway:

The Nike employee community is currently defined by a profound sense of anxiety and a breakdown in trust, as workers brace for rumored "March-April" layoffs.
Morale has plummeted due to a perceived lack of clear communication from leadership and a declining stock price that employees feel reflects mismanagement.
Many staffers report extreme burnout and a toxic environment, leading some to openly wish for voluntary severance packages just to escape the company.
Ultimately, the consensus reveals a workforce that feels undervalued and deeply pessimistic about Nike's future identity and stability.

The plans are in the final stages for a MASSIVE Layoff of all H1-Bs from TCS North America. This is due to huge pressure from the Trump Admin for any and all suppliers to the US government to eliminate ALL H1-Bs from payrolls if you want to be a supplier to ANY DERIVATIVE government agency, you need to eliminate all H1-Bs from your payrolls.
That means there will be an ELIMINATION of all H1-Bs from TCS USA payrolls.
Most H1-Bs should plan on moving back to India or wherever you were sponsored from as things are about to get very ugly.
This action is due to TCS aggressively eliminating US citizens and replacing them with cheap slave labor from India or wherever they were sponsored from.
Goodbye H1-Bs, you had a good ride but it’s over now.

I'm hearing rumors on the regular about layoffs in April, is this true?

I have now heard this rumor enough to feel confident to repeat it.
Salary buy outs are on the way.
55+ and 30+ and you are a candidate.
Finance Barbie wants people off the books.
Her glasses are too dark but I like her.
She is fairly authentic.
But still not sure how they spread that 19.6 billion around.
Stellantis binned it all in one year and gave UAW ZERO!
I think we got lucky and next year will be a *
I personally will take my 9 or 12 months and hit the road.
Good riddance.
Saves me retiring with only one days notice.
You don't have to give any notice by law so you know.

We've been hearing rumors that they plan on closing the Canada audit group in Mississauga. Can anyone confirm?

Has there been any layoffs or anything coming in independent testing and validation outside of getting rid of the people in California for location strategy ?

5 days until 2025 earnings call.

Will we get 2026 store closing announcements?

Any other surprises coming?

Anyone heard anything about layoffs within the US UW division?

Is anyone able to clarify what to expect on the 26th. Is this just Europe, Middle East, Asia (EMEA) or is this also in the states? Is it an offer of a VSP or a RIF? The posts have been vague.

Anyone know why Denise is leaving as CFO? Concerning as I felt her financial transparency was refreshing.

Doing layoffs on a Tuesday after a payday? I keep seeing it reiterated by people on Reddit

Be prepared

What could be next?

2025 was entertaining, get the popcorn out for 2026. It should be a doozy.

Heard that some people were laid off a few days ago.

Any idea about this?

Any info?

Are our "shares" worth anything? Is there any kind of exit strategy for KKR? I know they aren't pleased with the company's financial performance but will they eventually cut their losses or is there a possibility that we get sold soon? Any rumours on potential suitors? I need something to look forward to this sh!t is bleak lately.

Was that confirmed?

I have heard a few anecdotal rumors. Any truth?

im sorry for the vague post. i dont have a lot of info and im wondering if anyone has heard anything similar.

i have a great relationship with my manager. they told me in our last meeting that they were told to brace for a disruptive announcement. i didnt think much of it but now i cant get it off my mind. thats all i know and i cant say where i am in sap or i risk me and my manager.

i dont want to start drama. i am just wondering if anyone heard anything similar and can help me understand whats happening. i am afraid to ask at the office.

Anyone know if the JE calendar was updated for the rest of the year? I heard there was something in April? If IT is really moving toward a 70/30 HIH/US split, it seems like there will be quite a few more JEs coming up. Low key hoping I get the axe 😬

Heard a rumor that this restructuring led to somewhere near 50 people getting title changes like “soft demotions“ and it’s in these people didn’t even lose their salary but they’re going to be asked to train others on what they do and then demote them further (with pay cut) or eliminate them by end of Q4

the remaining restructuring budget mentioned in report is : $639M

if they target high-pay areas (US/Canada Seniors): The number of layoffs will be lower (closer to 10k–12k) because the $639M will run out faster.

If they target low-pay areas (Global Support/QA): They can easily hit the 20,000 number to reach that 30k total. - this include the 10k from late 2025 as its under the same budget mentioned in the earning reports

Is 3/19 still the next big round? Any insights on which parts of Optum? Specifically anywhere is Optum Health/Care?

Anyone here anything about layoffs that happened this month?

Anybody have any updates on layoffs or VSPP offers for outside techs now that the fiber is gone? Being as short handed as we were when I retired in December I can't imagine they would but the people running the show aren't exactly the smartest people in world.
