Quick breakdown of what’s being reported on The Layoffs and Reddit so far:
U.S. hit heavily, and Canada too (Markham and Ottawa offices, it seems). Some are reporting quiet micro-redundancies in the U.K. and Ireland (to dodge collective layoff rules), and there’s some chatter about managerial cuts in Brazil.
Seems like Software & Cloud took the brunt - several people said their entire design and integration teams were wiped.
Sales / FSM / Global Sales: many let go, including top performers.
MCC: more restructuring, long-timers (20+ years) included.
Some reports of impact in Consulting too, mainly public sector (B8) or underperforming units.
A few posts mention Research being hit in NY, especially the Albany site.
Lots of frustration over suspected offshoring plans and annoyance over the timing - happening during record profits while leadership publicly denied any more layoffs were coming.
is the baton rouge CIC doing layoffs?
