Want to know why you’re being laid off

I just found this site. Guestworkervisas.com if you scroll down it lets you search by employer and states and it gives you the role and salary. I guess all the people they lay off aren’t qualified to be a run of the mill software engineer. They have to import the best and brightest lol.


Visual Concepts Cuts Jobs After Mobile Game Underperforms

Visual Concepts, known for NBA 2K and WWE 2K, has experienced layoffs. The team working on WWE wrestling games was most affected. The mobile game WWE 2K25: Netflix Edition is cited as a main reason. This game reportedly did not meet expectations. Netflix will not renew its contract for 2026 and 2027 editions.

i’m holding out hope to land something

i was part of the wfr a couple months ago and still don’t have a job. i turned down one offer from a var due to bad reviews around bonuses and shady practices. mentally i feel relieved because i couldn’t sustain what dell had become in my area, but the job search has been rough.

i’ve even looked outside tech, and it’s clear my time at dell signals i’m older. i was hoping to retire there in a few years. ageism feels real, stuck in between too young to retire and too old to hire. i’ve even been asked my age in interviews despite it being illegal. still, i’m holding out hope to land something, ideally with a much better culture.


Fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results on Thursday, May 7, 2026

heard that its likely to be the worst ever result for dXc.

Here comes mass WFR - just like Meta, AWS, Microsoft have announced this week... except dXc can't blame AI as the company hasnt worked out the innovation yet, still trying to insert the X factor.


Watch your back

Can confirm that company is actively monitoring office attendance and employees who are not complying with what is now policy will be terminated. Also, outside of sales-coded roles, there will be NO hiring for virtual employees. Waterloo is the primary favored location due, in part, to a lower salary range for Canada and the fact no health care contribution is required. In short, Canadian employees cost less.

Company IS eliminating 15-20 percent of the current workforce through WFRs, carve outs, performance and violation of policy.

Watch your back. Managers and leaders also work from company sites as they are also required to adhere to office policy outside of sales and yes, they will report you if they see coffee badging.

Bumping this from @jq+1kpeh2t5w for info.

Next WFR wave June

Massive reduction in force aligned for June under the code "restructuring". Starting July, company will operate under a completely new model. Won't get it into it here, but huge paring of middle managers (team leaders) and entire functions run under separate teams eliminated. 15 - 20 percent of workforce, to include all levels, VP, directors, IC.


What really annoyed me was the cancellation of the town hall meeting because we supposedly needed to stay focused to wrap up the fiscal year. Does a one-hour town hall meeting really distract us so much that we can’t stay focused for the rest of the month?

A big announcement is coming for everyone. #WFR

WFR is to begin Mar 6th

Layoffs were pushed back a bit due to the NDA project along with another project but from what I've heard, layoffs are to be expected starting 3/6 and to go until 3/12. Rumors have it that ISG/CSG will be hit fairly hard along with low performing sales folks.
