46 replies (most recent on top)
@4mh Easy, just send the Infosys and LTIM people home
@4rn - Numbers. It is based on numbers.
@4mh what is that based on? Did you actually hear that?
BR has a goal to get rid of 1350 people in tech.
@3jf AI is driving many of the IT layoffs. Gemini & Claude are taking over.
@38b+1knt4ahym The company has a policy of not informing people widely of layoffs to avoid people freaking out, at most the department level finds out through some mass email or Slack message. Managers sometimes find out about divisional reductions during skip level meetings.
@2y how did you get this information? I haven’t heard of anyone getting laid off over the past couple of months. Was it a specific tech area or across the board?
@23d you’re wrong. Or you have no idea who the department heads are.
Total released = 75
Over age 40 = 52 (69%)
Tech roles = 65 (77%)
No real losses this round. Maybe Selfie Susie, Misfit Mia, and other NS/SR leftovers will say farewell next round.
Suddenly I see why people don't communicate everything all the time. Vagueposting is worse than not posting at all.
@1hw No, they did not. White males made those decisions.
@1hw white males have it so tough
@19a except that some people who were let go were white males and the high level leadership who made that choice are all women who are Indian
Most SLT takes immense pleasure in running the company like a “small business” but they spread the word of DEI like fanatic ayothollahs! DEI is like religious cult to impose and see who is pure and use it for their own advantage. If McKinsey is asking to cut they will, and they will hire indentured H1B for diversity
@1ca multiple middle managers and some lower level developers were let go Tuesday, and a bunch more Wednesday. Just because it’s not on your team doesn’t mean it’s fake
No one was laid off on our team and we hardly have work for 8 hours a week forget 40 hours. People here are spreading rumors.
@19t
Ya the people mentioning DEI are ridiculous. Not that it matters, but I know white men who were laid off. This is definitely not them reversing course on DEI or whatever the idea is. This is them cutting costs and making the existing workforce do more work, but in their eyes it's fine because of AI.
@19t I have some good news for you. You know this huge push to change the way we work at NM? It turns out reading a book only goes so far. So, McKinsey is back, baby! They’re going to make it so great that you’ll get tired of all the winning!
@19d I heard the new White House DEI guidelines say we should hire more orange, fat, senile, failed businessmen who like to hang out with New York financiers and prowl for underage girls.
Every layoff round, same script — blame diversity programs instead of the people making the actual decisions. Nobody's getting cut because of DEI. They're getting cut because leadership burned through a quarter billion on LearnVest, shuttered it, and has been running the McKinsey playbook ever since — hire fast, reorg quarterly, cut the people who did the actual work, repeat. A $40B company that can't retain the engineers and senior ICs keeping the lights on isn't suffering from too much inclusion. It's suffering from the same avarice, ignorance, and greed that's been driving strategy from the top for years. But sure, it was the diversity hire's fault.
So if we are trimming some of our “talent” pool that means NM will hire less H1b1s right?…. Right?
Facts from the white house. Sounds legit.
Maybe NM read the new report from the White House proving that DEI adds no value and in fact costs companies money. It’s about time they cleaned up.
Are they targeting NYC and remote employees? Not going to renew the lease?
Do we know how many or which specific areas in tech?
Yup, I'm a DT SWE laid off today. What a fun month lol
@144 I mean...they only made 40 billion in revenue last year. How can they afford to keep all of these people working?
Looks like another reorg . Quarterly reorg lol . And from the words more is coming maybe for non managers/higher up?
@12w as someone who was just laid off. You're wrong.
Just notified my position was eliminated. They'll be giving more info to everyone on 4/17
Deeply flawed strategy in NM is to deliberately target remote employees and the most dedicated hard workers. These individuals are assigned disproportionately heavy, complex workloads designed to overwhelm them. The intent is clear: if they succeed, pile on even more until burnout forces them to leave voluntarily. If they fail, it creates a convenient paper trail to justify layoffs.
In this environment, true safety and advancement belong only to DEI fanatics and the back-scratchers who su-k up the corporate ladder. Those who exploit the blood, sweat, and results of others—then claim full credit—are the ones who thrive. It has become the unspoken “rule of nature” in NM. It erodes trust, drives out top talent, and rewards politics over performance.
For those saying no layoffs, from a former M2 here I can tell you they try to keep it as quiet as they can. When I had direct reports being let go during the great QA purge, not all of management was even invited to the briefing. They waited until the next town hall so they could try to fudge the messaging the best they could.
Rumors…no layoffs. Get back to work.
I was laid off in a past wave (years ago) with a near-maximum severance package. The severance really was a great thing to receive, as I quickly landed a new role with better pay, but I am now looking to make a change.
My initial first hand survey of the market & feedback from trusted contacts suggests the grass is not greener: FTE salary bands are compressing and contract rates (W2/1099) have plummeted.
You were correct. There were layoffs in tech today
These are the posts that I come here for! Thank you.
I was let go a year and a half. The package was incredible and the best thing that happened to me. ~ Former Sr Director in Data!
I’m remote. There are a whopping 3 positions at my level even open right now. NM HATES remote employees. I’d take a severance package in a heartbeat.
