#wfr

It's going to be he-l waiting and guessing if my location is closing. I like my job. I've been here for seven years. I hate even the thought of having to look for something else. We might not be the most high volume store, but we're doing well enough. Should I be worried?

End of the world layoffs…..

pray be warned, efficiencies are a comin' and have started at the same time..

efficiencies such as wfr, vr and if not cr.. allover the uk.

If you wanted out, the ssdc is the place to be!

First thing in the morning..thanks BizJournal.

Who's ready for March layoffs?

If so, what groups have been hit so far?

Not sure how true this is but my director said they heard rumors - just rumors - that a 10k WFR is planned for the next 3 months. At least half of which will be in February and March. I do know they are part of a leadership TEAMS chat because they told me so. I asked which orgs were being hit, or likely to be hit and was told that from what they have seen in the chat, ISG, CSG, Sales/ISR's are being targeted, along with higher level Maverick folks.

idk how true this is but this is just what I was told this morning.

Anyone from the APJ region got their meeting invite regarding WFR? Most of the recent WFR's I've heard are all in US or EMEA. Wonder how APJ is doing.

They failed to pay my last salary. I left Dell on my own terms and they haven’t made the last salary payment. Never could I ever imagine I’d have to start a debt collection process against one of the richest companies in the world!

For those that are being WFRd, please check your payments and check that taxes are paid correctly.

Wells Fargo Announces New Layoffs in West Des Moines

Wells Fargo announced 33 additional layoffs at its Jordan Creek campus. These job cuts in West Des Moines are effective March 20.

Bye Bye STL

Anyone get The Call?

I was just thinking about the upcoming WFR and how historically it's always been the same few departments that get hit hard. Those departments don't exactly hold much - if any - truly sensitive data I think? idk, to me it seems like certain departments rarely ever get hit due to what those employees do and posses?

I am a bit surprised that you don't hear of companies having their internal sht released publicly and/or to dark web type sites very often. I'm sure it happens all the time but I'm not one who keeps up with that stuff so idk.

A network engineer for example could release a massive list of internal network maps. Those who manage firewalls could release the entire rule base of what is in the firewalls. A person in sales could release a list of clients they have, or clients they won't work with possibly, etc... Or maybe someone who works with PCI stuff releases a giant list of customer names/address's/CC info?

In my mind I think anyone who does that is stupid, first of all. But those who do it I suppose do it for a profit? Which still seems d-mb because I feel there is a high chance of getting caught anyways.

You work at DXC for 10 years and want a WFR package.
You stay because you think its the best thing to do.
You get zero pay rise for 10 years
You might be lucky (unlikely) but because of zero pay rises, your WFR package is reduced.
DXC gains either way - they can wait you out

Has anyone been officially notified yet about the possibility of an upcoming WFR?

I wanted to check because recently my manager has become noticeably less communicative and doesn’t acknowledge my presence the way they used to. There hasn’t been any direct feedback or conversation, so I’m unsure how to interpret the change.

Does this kind of behavior typically indicate that someone may be on the list for a potential WFR, or am I reading too much into it? I’d appreciate hearing from others who may have experienced something similar or have insights into how these situations usually unfold.

Thanks in advance.

I am laid off. technology lob

I just got laid off now. It’s fcking start of the year.

Hi everyone, do you know when they give out 2025 bonus? Severance package mentioned that WFR people eligible for bonus.

Layoffs have been announced in the next few months.

This needs to be stop.

Can you be more transparent and honest?

Just asking.

What is the estimated or projected number of lay offs for 2026?

Has anyone ever heard of an employee with less than 7 years at HPE ask to be on the WFR list?

Sad day today with Wexford office closing. Years of experience being thrown out the door. No matter the quality of training of new recruits it won’t replace the decades of experience. The clients will notice, but the bank won’t care.

Do you think there will be layoffs tomorrow giving the holiday week?

Get ready. I was told by a VP level Sales executive that HPE will be doing a WFR again in January..

Fact - layoffs are happening this week - I know quite a few people that were informed this week. Awesome they do it right before the holidays...

Best of luck to all!

This is absolutely brutal. It will take quite a while to get used to the "new" Verizon.

Some say 10% WFR, others say 30%

No pay rises,
Have to use holiday at Xmas,
WFR being bandied about,
Incoming staff earning way more than you,
Takeover rumours,
No job satisfactoon whatsoever, its just a job !!
Me, depressed, pi$$ed off, fed up and hate Mondays knowing I've got another 5 days of same old sh1te !

just left my meeting. it's done.

it’s freaking Friday!!! How come???

good luck folks

I’ve resisted posting on here, but I feel the need to. I’m in a Management position, but not giving specifics out of fear. My Leader gave me a directive on Friday to prepare for the big Q1 WFR list. Here it is. We have to try to avoid cutting H1B people because we uprooted their lives to move them here, so we can’t leave them stranded. So I guess they feel it’s OK to uproot talented Americans’ lives instead of getting rid of cheap, inferior workers. Total BS!

What is the ROI on this and how does it align with our strategic planning?
At a time where we keep hearing about constant cost-cutting, endless WFRs, hiring freeze, and rumors of no raises, I think leadership owes us transparency on the motive and expected benefits. This really makes me sick to my stomach and I cannot be alone on this sentiment.
