lol for me I think most of the onshore United States jobs will be made obsolete or outsourced by the end of 2028. What do you guys think?

This week it was confirmed that a new group of team members has transferred from India to the US.

2u seems to be targeting US workers for layoffs while sparing foreign workers. This is considered anti-american bias. You can file a charge online at eeoc.gov **search for how to file a charge of employment discrimination.

Pretty funny that LP announced that only 3rd world countries would be getting raises, some of the countries that were deemed worthy of raises are miles from US friends. I'll bet we haven't had raises in the US for like 10 out of 15 years, always some crisis, that results in a delay. How do you run a company like this? When workers complain about it, the answer is we saved jobs as a result of no raises and your lucky to have a job. Speaking on behalf of the people that are left, who cares! Let more people go. The funniest thing is that my big SVP who send us these strange demanding emails all the time threatens everyone that they won't get a raise next month when raises are planned if we miss achieving 20 different metrics he came up with at the start of the week.

What about EMEA/APAC/India??? Some say other regions follow - one reply says EMEA was already informed - another says Americas only. Which is it?

Citi tampa analytics and data science teams keeps promoting only H1B folks and stalls American workers and permanent residents. Hope the America first movement move to CITI Tampa as well.

Starbucks is eliminating 300 corporate positions. The company is also closing some regional offices. This action aims to streamline the organization. It seeks to reduce operational complexity and boost profitability. This marks the third round of layoffs since last year.

Multiple gambling companies announced layoffs this week. Penn Entertainment cut over 75 employees from its interactive division. Gambling.com Group reduced its workforce by 25%, impacting around 150 people. LSports, an Israeli data provider, also laid off 39 employees. AI adoption, slowing growth, and new competition drive these cuts. The online gambling industry faces a broader recalibration.

found this thread and curious to know more about expectations of a core rep in HE US. Didn’t know company was this bad. Don’t honeymoon, what is going on?

Ford advertising during the Tigers game: “American values for American value.”

But as for jobs at Ford, American citizen engineers need not apply.

Spirit Airlines ceased all operations last weekend. This action eliminated over 15,000 jobs nationwide. Many airports, especially smaller ones, lost significant or all commercial service. Other airlines like Breeze and JetBlue are adding routes to fill service gaps. Experts predict reduced capacity will lead to higher airfares.

Saw this article saying TV and DA are being eliminated/restructured in China. Anyone knows what will happen to these divisions in US?

Cognizant is going to lay off up to 20% of the USA workforce in favor of moving roles to offshore. Going to happen in next 6-8 weeks. They will replace roles with entry level. Management pyramid is starting to look real skewed.

                -
             ——-

———————————

Cognizant plans to lay off 10-20% of their USA workforce in the next 6 - 8 weeks. They are forcing every business unit — Even profitable revenue generating ones — to cut their workforce to move over to India or bring in lower level talent. HR was blind-sided by this and has very little info so it’s clearly coming from Ravi or Surya. They are trying everything to get the stock back up, so why not blindside the workforce right after being named a great place to work. Yeah right.

Has anyone heard any rumors of new layoffs on the USA domestic side? Last I heard was there was headcount was going to be brought down to a minimum.

There are a lot of pre-cursors (building over time) to the "Roaring 1920's ending" October 1929, the "Internet bubble burst" March 2000; and the "Global Financial Crisis" September 2008.
Fed stimulus will (most likely) end by mid-April (with Higher Energy costs impacting their positive effects on the U.S. economy) with the U.S. Treasury (also) stopping its' purchasing of its' own bonds by then.

Tax refunds were substantial overall for 2025, but again as mentioned; Energy prices will remain high (for months, or longer) especially with the most recent escalation of the U.S. Iran War.

The Fed has also printed an additional $125.0 Billion in currency since January 2026 (in an attempt) to prop-up the U.S. economic-financial system.

Yes, this does add on to the (current) $39.1 Trillion U.S. National debt (and rising), as does; the U.S. Iran War; and contributes to (rising) Inflation costs as well (over time).

The (Real) U.S. economy heading into 2027 is what to watch.

Current trends dictate strain on the U.S. economic-financial system with layoffs (2026 > 2027) increasing over time.

looks like OT should offer a voluntary redundancy round - they'd get a few more takers for sure! Maybe write a book on it.

Canada/US market is open for business. closed to opentext - see ya #Energizing Life Every Day!

WIPR is undergoing a major restructuring. This restructuring involves significant layoffs. The organization is also offering free memberships. This offer is part of the current changes. More information is available in the full article.

Same pattern as before. Layoffs started in Mexico, then move to USA/IDC the following week.

This week, layoffs in Mexico happened on 3/25 and 3/26, cutting about 15.46% of the workforce.

This round seems larger than before since it took two days to complete.

If you want to verify, check the not-mdc-social channel. You can see the dates, pattern, and posts from people affected. Also compare with the previous layoff pattern across Mexico, IDC, and USA.

Let me know if your data shows something different.

Is the company effectively “quiet firing” its U.S. and Northern Ireland employees so they can just put more engineers and customer serivce people in India? Top performers are receiving only 1.5–3% merit increases, denied PTO, benefits appear to be shrinking, leadership feedback feels limited and unconstructive, and training and skills development programs seem to be declining in quality. Unless someone has specialized AI expertise, it can feel like the goal is to push people out or pressure them into working longer hours than they’re paid for. Meanwhile, TW continues to repeat phrases like “we’re all in this together,” like we are still in the heart of COVID. This environment feels even more challenging than during the pandemic. Customer service is in the toliet with AI and all the Indian offshoring. Hire 4x the middle managment to get in the way of being productive at work. I'm just glad I have other options other than this blue toilet. However, I know that everyone is not as fortunate esp in the Orange Tu-d's America. Be the CEO of your own career bc this place does not value you.

They have done it before and WILL do it again. Then they will throw a party to congratulate themselves for doing it.

We know that in some sites-Krk,MVD all affected employees were informed by now.What about US folks? Were you advised by when you will be notified?Are there many colleagues affected?any particular departments hit hard?

I cannot find anywhere that says you have to return to work for a certain amount of time after parental bonding leave in order to keep the pay. Can anyone confirm this? US

Companies today have seen the challenges with the US economy due to the ongoing tariffs.

Very quietly though have you realize the backlash against the American worker? Canon USA Inc. is holding it against the American workers by continuing to layoff and outsource to contractors in the Philippines.

In addition, we have not received one publication from corporate that didn’t mention the tariffs. The continued downsizing of the American working people is a direct response to the American government.

The company is currently being investigated in Melville for their layoffs that may result in the loss of the tax breaks they received when we moved our corporate HQ.

Canon USA Inc. knows they need to be here for business but doesn’t want to play ball with the people of our country. It’s a sad reality but you may be the next move they make in what they label as a right sizing due to the economic climate.

I simply can no longer trust this company because I feel that I am a targeted employee because I am American.

Whoever posted this on Reddit is right. This is why Unions in the United States are of the most absolute importance. If you did this in like let's say Japan? People would see this as a leadership failure and start to distrust the company entirely... In Sweden,? They'd be paying out these employees so long that the short term gains they might want to see before ramping up again in hiring would not warrant going through this. It is truly only in America that this sort of thing is seen as feasible.

lets see what news is shared

Looks like a hiring spree with all purchase and B2B with visas. When will ford start hiring locals ? Can this ever stop?
Help USA!

Rumor has it most if not all of US will report to India or Colombia in March when a new reorganization will happen.

Adios Amigos!

Does anyone know/can comment on whether you will be
"paid or unpaid if you are laidoff - unused accrued PTO in the USA" ?

This is what the Trump administration -

Needs to be concerned about (like previous administrations) since 2008.

The U.S. National debt - $38.7 Trillion (and rising) with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 124.03% (current) per usdebtclock.

This means that the U.S. National debt is (currently) 124.03% of the U.S. economy.

At some point in time, even with GDP artificially growing (for now) but be aware that the LEI - Leading Economic Indicator has been Down from September 2024 - September 2025.

(Every time in U.S. history) when the LEI has dropped below the CEI - Coincident Economic Index (current state of the U.S. economy) a Major recession has ensued (thereafter).

2001 > 2008 > 2020 (Brief).

(2) things -

First, the U.S. government shutdown prevented data from appearing (waiting) for Q4 2025.

Second, Fed stimulus being injected is preventing (for now) the Major recession that is already technically here; at least for Main Street; I believe that it will come for Wall Street.

Those signs will appear stronger as 2026 progresses, Corporate layoffs ramping up again Q1 2025 (March - April) timeframe; small business activity (ramp-down); etc.

See the Trees through the Forest.

Do we really need to continue spending money on CEC? Outsourcing will save a lot. No person is gonna be a customer just because we have a US based call center. Nobody thinks of it before moving to TMO.
