As the company continues to take MW after MW on the US employees, what's next? When will thr next MW drop on us?

Management keeps saying how they cannot get any Americans to work in the Permian but then those who want to work in then Permian are told their career is limited and ranked poorly for not being mobile. WTF?

Wow. Xpeng, Buick, BYD are releasing the latest EREV with over 1000 mile range hybrid SUV. Why can't the Big 3 produce something like this? Bring them to the US please. I will buy a few of these awesome EREV for sure.

when gretchen, US chair left, her “responsibilities” went to the head of deepwater colette

now that Mike Curtin of AI group DTO is leaving, his “responsibilities” will go to SVP Kate Platanova. all this guy cancelled his retirement, took over Dan Jeavons job ousting him from the company in the process, then retired anyway less than a year later. what a weaselly tu-d, good riddance.

allen cockriel CISO leaves. his “responsibilities” go to owen o’,connel SVP and CIO IDT services and operations

these people’s jobs are fake as he-l if they can be picked up with no sweat by the other so called executives. this company is so full of fake jobs and it starts right at the top. but they are never the ones who get cut, they leave for an even better job or retire and we pay their way then simply don’t back backfill their fake roles

if i was a shareholder at a board meeting i would ask wael to fire more executives to fund his buybacks. its much cheaper and better optics than the workers layoffs of little people

I know this may not be the ideal place to ask, but I haven’t been able to find much information on Sparq or through my communications with HR, and was hoping this group might be able to share any relevant experience.

I’ve been with Optum Health for several years as a U.S.-based remote employee. Recently, I’ve been exploring the possibility of relocating to Canada. I’m a Canadian citizen, and through my own research I’ve seen that Optum has a few business segments in Canada, with many employees working remotely.

I’m wondering whether anyone has experience with, or insight into, transferring from a U.S. role to the Canadian entity while continuing to support the same U.S. team. I recognize this is a fairly niche scenario, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar or knows how this has been handled in the past.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have an anecdotal evidence that Ansys grants a non-compete waiver? I have an offer from Ansys's customer (OEM) and they want me to get a waiver to join

Based in the USA (not in CA). Please comment if you have any insight into this.

People on the phones seem to be more adversely affected than most. Leadership has checked out. For most, support is non-existent. Veterans saying it is the worst it has ever been. Some are talking about walking.

When i get a task sent back to me with a foreign name I already know its going to be a disaster. Customers constantly complain about the foreigners they cant even understand and the sublevel competence they provide. When will Cigna stop offshoring jobs and realize they are losing money because of these people. Some of them are great, but not enough to justify opening big facilities and replacing Americans. Americans deserve American service. Cigna is digging its own grave. Hopefully someone in government puts a stop to offshoring American jobs providing services to Americans.

Folks, so many posts referring to forcing a badge out. This can not be done in the US in any state as it violates every states fire codes. You can NOT force a badge swipe to grant an exit from a building. It's simply not allowed as a safety item ANYWHERE.

I’ve noticed some social media posts from BA and Manila’s holiday parties and can’t help but feel sad and a sense of resentment for us American workers. Something has to change on a national and economic policy basis. American workers are getting decimated

Horrible economic news as layoffs surge to the highest point in years. The USA has laid off over a million people in 2025 and it’s only expected to get worse. These numbers could exceed what we have seen in the Great Depression. In November there were 71,000 layoffs in the United States.

To my Spain and US colleagues how are we feeling after the recent Spain reduction? Gartner always thinking about their people especially before the holidays ha

U.S. lost 32000 private-sector jobs last month in surprise drop, ADP data shows
CBS News
December 3, 2025 8:04 AM PT
U.S. private-sector employers unexpectedly cut 32,000 jobs in November, as detailed in ADP data released on December 3, 2025. This surprising downturn contrasts with economists' predictions of job growth for the month. The figures are bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve might implement an interest rate cut in the near future. Small businesses, specifically those employing fewer than 50 individuals, were disproportionately affected, accounting for 120,000 of the job losses. The professional and business services sector saw the largest decline, though leisure and hospitality experienced a gain ahead of the holiday season.

Had to lay off the turkey this year, but hot dogs are pleasing in their own way. Add some beans, maybe some bacon drippings, and life is still pretty good in America!

As American it is funny to see how those d-mbfu-ks from Finland are panicking but until Justin will weed out them till L4, sabotage will not stop.
USA market means COTS and COTS means thousands of Finns being useless and they know it.
At least he got rid of Tommi the Mo--n who lost ATT and Verizon! Now go after Niko and rest of them before they will derail attempts to win back USA for sake of saving their as--s

Remember you’re all just a number & don’t be mad when we lay you off during the holiday season, it’s the corporate way here in the good old 🇺🇸!

Love your corporate (insert name here) CEO.

PS: I’ll be on vacation during the holidays at a tropical 🌴 location.

USA should pass a law that says, any corporation laying off or firing anyone in USA who is under the age of 65 will get free paid Healthcare until they reach age 65 when Medicare kicks in.

Great Dane released a statement Monday afternoon confirming that there will be layoffs at their Kewanee plant within the coming weeks.

According to a statement from Jake Wallace, a member of Great Dane’s communication team in Georgia, the plan is to align the “manufacturing capacity with current market demands amid a prolonged freight recession.”

Job advertised does not mean job available.

Which areas are being hit in the US? People say Finance. Any others? This really feels never-ending. Good luck to everyone, and if you’re affected, I hope you find a better job very soon.

So, it's a bigger impact than I thought as I thought it was a global number. Oh, well

Anyone have the full list of American universities we no longer recruit from? I think it is a shocking list.

HR stated going forward there will no new US hires.
Manilla or India are the only choices.

TATA Consulting Services CEO K. Krithivasan indicated the company will halt new H-1B recruitment and shift toward hiring locally in the US and other priority markets. TCS remains the largest US H-1B employer with 98,259 hires from 2009 to 2025, including 5,505 in 2025. He said the US already has sufficient H-1 staff, renewals will be selective, and local participation will rise, linked to AI work that needs client proximity and broader skill mixes, similar to TCS’s high local staffing in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Analysts read this as a wider pivot in visa strategies. They expect companies such as Amazon, Cognizant, and Microsoft to favor L-1 transfers to avoid about 100,000 dollars per H-1B applicant, reducing fresh H-1B demand and speeding a move to L-1 routes for US roles.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees.

Future Outlook
There are rumors of further layoffs and restructuring, particularly in retail and IT sectors.
T-Mobile aims to maintain a positive relationship with regulatory agencies while adapting to market changes.
This restructuring reflects T-Mobile's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance profitability in a competitive telecom landscape.
