As if doing the work of all the people that were laid off isn't bad enough. Now the Emperor wants us back at the Office full time. People will just leave like a mass exodus, possibly this is what he wants. The employees who remained and weren't laid... — read more 

Rumor has it wait till the fall Emperor Sammy has another round of layoffs on deck.

This round was brutal. It was discomforting, to say the least. Both watching people leave, and experiencing all the anxiety while it was happening. It prompted me to start looking around for other opportunities. It may not look rosy, but if one... — read more

People are saying that Canon laid off the older employees. Curious to see Late 50's here

Hi all, I was laid off last week. Turn this into a positive situation. Canon did not provide great benefits or pay. Sure, it was ok, but there are much better places to work out there. Look into government jobs @ USAjobs.com. Security + benefits... — read more 

Even if you signed a severance agreement that prohibits you from communication that the company may view as disparaging, you can still reach out to the media anonymously to get coverage on the state of Canon affairs and the possible illegal behavior... — read more 

This guy’s poor leadership should be a textbook case study in any respectable MBA program. I would know as a MBA graduate who actually paid attention in school. I could tell by watching the “All Company Meeting” over MS Teams back in January that... — read more 

I used to do budget forecasting years ago. There are many ways that Canon could have avoided layoffs altogether, by cost saving in other ways. For example: Doing what Canon did back in 2009 when they cut salaries I am sure that everyone would... — read more 

For me it seemed illogical…

For me, it seems illogical…

I haven't been laid off but I decided to leave anyhow. I don't want to wait for the next round to get me. But I've been looking at available jobs for the past few days and what I've been seeing is anything but good. To say that pickings are slim... — read more 

I hope you will land on your feet soon. In the meantime, try not to be anxious about your situation. I’m fully aware that for some of us being laid off brings even more problems and stress than to the rest. Still, try to preserve your health and... — read more 

Last week, Canon USA initiated layoffs that affected multiple departments. While the exact number affected was not provided, it is not insignificant and included Rudy Winston, perhaps the most prominent face of Canon’s US-based brand, PetaPixel has... — read more 

Has anyone received details on their severance package? Will it be by email?

Seems like latest lay offs are racially biased.

They sit in meetings all day and have absolutely no clue what people need to do. The training has been pi-s poor since day one. You are on your own and will be treated like cattle when your sla-ghter day has arrived. No respect. Be defiant. Take... — read more 

We’ll be pressured to pick up the workload after people who were laid off. Don’t do it. There are already rumors about the next wave of layoffs coming within 3-6 months. Why should any of us exert ourselves over and beyond for this company? So we can... — read more 

As an employee witnessing recent layoffs and hearing senior management’s directive to “do more with less,” I am appalled and deeply triggered. The arrogance, lack of empathy, and self-serving attitudes among our leadership is disgraceful. Announcing... — read more 

Title says it all

Should all of us who survived the bloodbath just start looking for new jobs now?

I keep hearing conflicting info on severance packages. Who received a severance package and who did not? I did not receive severance.

This has been coming for years. The long winded comments that are, most likely, from Canon corporate communications, are espousing a company that no longer exists. Corporations absolutely need to change/reorganize for the future and Canon used to... — read more 

It's disheartening to see some unfounded comments about Canon on this board. However, sharing some facts is essential, especially for those who have been with Canon and may be experiencing amnesia. It's common for companies to undergo restructuring... — read more 

So many people get let go.

From everything that I read here and hear from colleagues, it seems to be the case. I know it’s anecdotal evidence, but performance rating played not much of a role in the selection. Which, hey, ain’t that much of a surprise. Some peeps are saying... — read more 

CFS had the round of layoffs today. Canon USA has a really big problem. So top heavy. Way too many directions and vp. Most could be cut which would have saved so many people. CSA will be out of business by next year. Then everything will be... — read more 

Starting Tuesday 7/9 they starting letting people go. It's Thursday and it's still going on. 20-30% being cut but not where it needs to be. Canon follows some antiquated structure that creates too much management and not enough labor. Too many... — read more 

That's what this layoff is all about. Showing the door to people who have been here for decades in some cases just to save a few bucks. Nobody is thinking about the institutional knowledge we're losing with them. Or that it will probably take at... — read more

Pls, guys, post here so we can follow more easily. Who’s hit the most? Are they really going for 1500?

Hearing USA layoff next week, upwards of 1500, CSA the largest part but not exclusively.

Is this offer a mutually beneficial strategy aimed at reducing costs by phasing out higher-paid retirement-age staff, or is it merely a precursor to another wave of layoffs?
