See for yourself, more than 25% were let go

Furloughs happens yesterday afternoon. 10/27/2025 at San Antonio mechanical. 10 machinist 1 electrician

By December. Stay tuned.

So, it's time to force people to use up vacation again, and for older workers to get asked to retire early again. At least for Rosemount in the Twin Cities, I don't know how many people of VERP age are even left after last year.

Projects are hot-hot-hot, but they'll have to be done with 20% fewer hours and no experienced people. All because they will never sacrifice a penny of stockholder profits to actually support their people

Anyone know when’s the next WFR round in the UK? Asking for a friend.

Employees in France will receive another Voluntary Separation Program, and Germany is likely to have this option as well. Maverick testing for CSG is nearly complete and is expected to wrap up by November or before the holiday season. The new CSG system is scheduled to go live in February.

This transition may lead to significant system instability and a surge in escalations. Concurrently, a substantial portion of the Workforce Reduction will be executed. All in all, the next three months promise to be dynamic and eventful.

There’s talk of more layoffs coming, although the last round didn’t address the real issues and was just a quick fix to cover overspending. Cutting experienced employees with deep knowledge of the systems has created gaps that are hard to fill. The company is losing people who understood how things worked, and new hires don’t have the same level of expertise. Until leaders make real changes, it’s unclear how things will improve.

please let me know

This has to be the largest layoff that the company has had in several years if it ends up being 2,000. In 2023, I believe it was a few hundred so it is going to be so interesting to see how next week plays out and how the ones who survive carry on.

Curious if anyone has any insights as to which areas or roles are likely to be impacted the most? The only one I heard was analysts but other threads here seem to be saying Merch.

• The staffing firm Kelly Services is cutting about 2% of its corporate workforce.
• The layoffs aim to meet the "evolving needs" of the firm's client portfolio, a spokesperson said.
• The cuts come as the US labor market is slowing, with hiring plans at their lowest since 2009.

Anybody in Milwaukee area get hit?

Rivian Automotive reportedly plans to lay off more than 600 people as the all-electric vehicle maker faces growing market challenges. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the plans, said the layoffs will affect roughly 4% of the company’s workers.

The Interior Department plans to eliminate more than 2,000 positions across its headquarters, agencies and bureaus throughout the country as part of a reduction in force that officials say is not related to the ongoing government shutdown, but happened to coincide with it.

Will there be more this coming week?

Who else thinks it’s a bad idea? We are releasing skilled knowledgeable people, reducing possibilities to rotate to other areas, cannot serve all markets. Is this just an excuse to drive people to quit?

2026 Q1 layoff list is being prepared.

LOL. WTF... It goes up, then it goes down, then it goes up and down again. The only thing that changes is number of employees at the Banks.

The job reductions, amounting to about 6% of the workforce, will occur over the next two years, the maker of Nespresso coffee capsules and KitKat candy bars said Thursday. The jobs announcement came alongside a 4.3% rise in third-quarter sales, driven by higher prices and improved real internal growth — a key measure of volumes closely watched by analysts and investors.

If you're a remote worker, watch out for layoffs. There aren't many left, and the goal is to have zero. FM used to be a decent place to work - now Pulte has turned it into a joke.

10/15 was a bloodbath across Comcast. Some Sr leaders, mostly staff. Severance packages for frontline are embarrassingly bad.

Several orgs impacted. Small numbers but shedding in preparation of a big divesture in the making.

Get ready to take it hard without lube. 10% at a minimum are going to get it. Some areas a lot more

Not just in the last round, but since January?

How's IT impacted?

This is AT&T’s “2020 Vision” but 10 years later, and the reduction goal being 25% instead of 1/3 of the workforce. I don’t know if there will be the COURTESY of another VSP but the HCL selloff was just a slap in the face. You had people with 30 years get denied the STANDARD severance, given NO runway.

Oct09 4am UTC - Oct10 12pm UTC totals: 746 additions.
October totals: 832 layoffs, and 971 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

Early October so far, additions exceeded layoff floor estimate.

The purpose of the recent Return to Office order is simple, quit now or be laid off when they don't get the workforce reduction they want. There is no plan to address the "Real Estate Challenges" of bringing everyone back other than reducing the amount of people needed to fill those seats.

Layoffs are anticipated before the end of the year, with WARN notices currently being prepared. The expected rollout includes:

Phase 1: 1,000 employees on October 20, 2025
Phase 2: 1,100 employees also on October 20, 2025
Phase 3: 400 employees on December 15, 2025

Employees may begin to notice subtle behavioral shifts in their direct supervisors. These may include unusually warm and supportive interactions such as increased check-ins, inquiries about personal well-being, family, vacation plans, and offers of help with professional goals. Communications may take on an exceptionally friendly tone, both digitally and in one-on-one meetings.

Such changes often signal that decisions have already been made at higher levels. In many cases, managers are aware of selections made by the layoff committee or may have submitted names themselves to leadership for consideration.

This message is not intended to create fear or panic. Instead, it is a call to awareness and preparedness. If you notice similar behavioral patterns from your supervisors, take proactive steps: begin updating your resume, reconnect with your professional network, and ensure your references are current and accessible. Staying ahead of the curve can make all the difference.

LBT noted today between basketball, laser focus, humble, my BFF’S, that we need to get to 75K employees by end of the year, for you super geniuses this is about 13K more to go. (TSMC plus Nvidia) is 75K. Dont get too comfortable.

With the streamlining of underwriting within Business Banking the past year, I would think this group would likely be at risk of layoffs in the somewhat near future.

Sadly the AOM jobs are slowly getting eliminated. What’s next?

Looming layoff - copycat layoff in the offing mostly december 2025
