FIS is replacing US employees with H1B visa holders.

They just keep coming. There's no end to them. Another round, then another, then another. I'm so tired of it.

Now the people left are doing twice the work. Every single day.

If you suspect your employer wants you gone, you're probably right according to new workplace data.

There's no longer a point in asking questions about whether layoffs are coming. They are. The answer will always be yes. The only question now is when. Is it in a month or two, or maybe three, but never longer than that. It's not how things should be, but it is what it is.

Round 1, March 26 (15K) round 2 Sept. 2026 (8K). Dan Shulman, ‘Layoffs are a way of doing busyness...”

151 laid off today. counting

Hey…US Management…hopefully some of you will read this and realize that you’ve so misunderstood and mismanaged the international business that 80% of the workforce couldn’t care less anymore and are begging to be laid off…I’m sure you can get AI to cover it all off

It means more layoffs than originally expected
The company is shrinking parts of its workforce in response to the increased efficiency of AI models

The company has engaged a specialized executive search firm to identify an interim HR leader with proven expertise in workforce restructuring and deep knowledge of Texas employment law.

Nearly 4,000 workers across various US supply chains have been affected by recent layoffs. These job cuts span EV battery plants, auto parts factories, warehouses, and rail terminals. SK Battery America laid off 958 workers at its Georgia EV battery plant due to shifting demand. Bankrupt First Brands Group cut 905 jobs across facilities in Texas and Tennessee. Campbell's will eliminate 205 jobs in Texas as it retools a plant for sauce production. Several logistics and distribution operators also announced significant workforce reductions.

In 2024 Canon USA and Canada reduced workforce by roughly 14%. Melville and Boca saw a reduction of almost 150 employees. A North American wide restructuring.

In January 2025 CUSA and CSA merged.

March 2026 Canon USA announces new Americas Wide Production Print

Present Day, two years later. Most jobs eliminated have been restaffed, hiring is on the increase again. Almost a ditto of the COVID layoffs and then restaffing leading up to the 2024 RIF.

Revenue from sales is still below pre covid 2019 levels, staffing has increased, customer service and product reliability are still subpar.

Disparity between OCe management and Japan management still exists, BOCA management and Melville management at all time division.

Americas production print still not offering all the industrial equipment that the rest of world already does, a repeat of 2020 management.

Has nothing changed over the past 6 years. Will 2026 be Groundhog Day all over again?

Is it not obvious how siloed the company continues to become. No, I don't work for Canon, nor do I have any ax to grind, just stating the outward facing facts and observation. Where are the gains from all the restructuring from 2020 to 2024 to 2026?

Guys, there are plans to layoff ‘x’ amount every single quarter. It may be all at the start of the Q or it may be spread out per month. Either way, each quarter is slated to let go a certain amount of people.

I’d love to tell you to breathe a sigh of relief but this will continue for the rest of the year.
Letting go 1000 in one day or spread out over a few months is still 1000 people let go. So don’t think just because its just a handful here and there that its all slowing down.

Layoffs will continue for the rest of this entire year.

Sky Chevrolet laid off 30 employees. The job cuts occurred on March 6, 2026. The affected facility is in Newhall, Iowa. A WARN notice confirmed the workforce reduction. Reasons for the layoffs were not immediately disclosed.

Under 49 employees per month so that don’t have to report.

Nothing this month?

A federal grant of $2 million was awarded. Kentucky's workforce development agency received these funds. The money assists workers displaced by recent layoffs. More than 2,400 individuals lost jobs in 25 counties. Retraining and skill-building programs will be offered.

Any info on this?

Has the Q1 round of layoffs wrapped up? Are we expecting another round at the end of Q2? What’s the full-year target for layoffs, and how many have already been cut so far? I only saw media mention 1,000 in January, but no numbers for March or the rest of the year. Any clarity?

@@@This isn't Ivan or Lowell, Dan will hire 3rd party before u @$$ hits the door on 8/1.

Smarten up!!!

I realize this site is a minute fraction of total active employee count, but I have an idea...

Wells needs to have a replacement pool. It would be made-up of laid-off people who are willing to return and swap-in for one of the worthless, retained people Wells truly needs to get rid of.

You would return with years of service, future severance based on prior years of service, prior earned annual PTO days, 401k matching, etc. Salary would be negotiable. People who actually want to work and who are truly competent,

I think I need to pitch this to Wells.

That didnt take long huh. A rather pointless exercise, with HR and the big cheeses knowing full well it was coming 6 months ago. Shame - had hoped for better. Thats the HPE way we've been hearing about and now finding out its a reality!

I know of 2 people let go today- not sure if they were riffed or just fired.

It’s not just me. Employees have stopped working. As the rumors continue, people are sitting and waiting. Why invest any effort at all if you’re gone “Tomorrow”. If Oracle wants to resume normal business , they better move past the layoffs rumors and make it happen. At this point workers have stepped off the playing field while they await word of their employment. Productivity has ground to a halt.

Campbell Soup is reducing its workforce at its Paris plant. 205 of 568 employees will lose their jobs. This change is due to a plant transition. Soup production at the facility ends May 1. The plant will now manufacture Prego Italian sauces and Pace Mexican salsa.

Verizon layoffs to hit 15,000 roles in 2026 as automation takes over https://share.google/AJuhG51e9EFToXk0E

This week is going to be very stressful. I almost wish I was part of last round so it be over by now

It's okay to be wrecked by a layoff. When I got cut from my previous company, people told me to just move on. Sc--w that. It hurts. That job was my routine, my purpose. You're allowed to be upset. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been through it.

What's going on here? The number of potential layoffs keeps growing. Is there really no other way to deal with this?
