#cuts

More rifs happened today

When will they start cutting projects?

A veteran employee here with twenty years in. The cuts years ago felt justified. There was real fat to trim. But these days, terminations are just about finding the easiest way to reduce cost at the cost of some of the best employees. Morale is at an all time low. Worse than anything I've seen before. We need new leadership and a whole new direction.

There were always cuts, that's part of the business. But I didn't expect the culture to change so completely and so fast. I swear, it became toxic almost overnight. The environment is now completely unrecognizable. It'd almost be fascinating, if it didn't affect us all so much.

Canada Post is laying off dozens of managers. This move aims to save the company money. The organization has experienced severe financial losses for years. Three senior executives were dismissed last month. The chief financial officer was among those terminated.

That's usually a good sign, but I can't help still being a bit anxious. Is there anything to worry about?

If you are impacted it would help to understand the BU, team or even location. The company is too big to try and figure what jobs are impacted this time around.

Thx!

The University of Vermont Health network recently laid off over 140 employees. These cuts primarily targeted administrative and non-patient-facing roles. Affected positions include nurses, social workers, and cytogenetics lab staff. The network aims to save $9.5 million annually towards a $300 million expense reduction goal. Unions express concerns about potential impacts on patient care and staff workload.

Wed mass cuts where made on the consumer side. Alot of level 2, specifically LRIS aka authorized side. About 50% cuts where made so that means the people who were "saved" will now have double the doors and a larger territory to cover. Not sure if that's a balance to have. Also firsnet subs laid off. From my understanding all were let go at least on the west coast.

Level 3 DOS saved, support teams saved for now. But I'm sure more cuts will happen.

This is consumer. Not sure on the business side, ihx, or any org were also cut. Crazy the load more work for the people being "saved" with same pay and not so great raises.

Whats that new Reporting and Data leadership launching on Jun 25th. Are they trying to consolidate all reporting team?
Is this another way to reduce people?

Hearing lots of rumors about upcoming VCG layoffs. Does anyone actually know what’s in the pipeline? What percentage of the workforce is expected to be impacted, and which departments are likely to be hit the hardest?

Hillsborough County commissioners discussed a proposed property tax reform amendment. The amendment could reduce county property tax revenue by $367 million annually. This loss may force staff layoffs, wage freezes, or increased fees. County services like parks and libraries could also face cuts. Florida voters will decide on the amendment in November.

I've been hearing more people talk about upcoming layoffs and I'm dreading the idea of waiting around hoping I make it through another round.

Are these allegedly ongoing cuts legitimate, or are a few residual managers getting axed and people are panicking?

After yesterday's 10% cut I can't help but think that all we are to this company are chickens saved at the sla-ghterhouse. We are good until the next round but at the end of the day we are still chickens.

Please be careful with how specific you are on here, especially about “inefficiencies” or even confusion in your areas. Some of the recent comments feel like fishing attempts by the people who are trying to cut staff.

Keep it general enough to stay safe.

PS. I set out a Pennies for Penny jar by Trailblazers. She needs our help!

Ferguson officials face a significant budget crisis. The city plans to cut $2 million and eliminate 12 jobs. Eight positions are layoffs across six departments, including police and fire. Officials are considering asking voters for new sales and property taxes. Years of dipping into cash reserves and rising operating costs caused the financial strain.

Will there be any more layoffs before the month ends, or are we safe for a couple of weeks?

Should we worry that there are more cuts today after all? Could he be wrong?

Barstow intermodal gateway project approved for construction according to media, so in less than 5 years when new contracts come up for bid, Barstow current facility and Shepherd going to be closed down, with resources shifted the same way the did in Interbay to Vancouver, transcon traffic will increase but facilities like Houston that require annual repair are going to be scabbed out to RJ Corman like Pearland. That’s why there is no more mechanical facilities other than Temple from the coast to Tulsa, and seniority wise Houston is almost at 20 years to hold in TY&E

Next layoff is soon!

We have a TON of VP layers, some of which have no true direct reports. Why not start cutting there and leave the ICs (who actually DO the work!) alone? This company is severely top heavy. That’s where they should look to cut first.

hearing a rumor that norfolk and mas could see cuts late june or july. any truth to this or just noise?

Are we making major cuts in these areas too? Things are falling apart and getting nasty! The bathrooms are especially rough! I know when morale gets bad the bathrooms take a beating!

When will invites for July layoff happen ?

I keep hearing about this bloodbath..any idea what/where/when ?

Everyone knows what's going to happen when the dust settles: Everyone left will be extremely overworked and not compensated for it. People will make $20 an hour and do the job of three people. We're just cogs in a massive machine.

Will there be layoffs in RCS ?

post below has been copy pasted from Reddit, but sounds legit - sneaky and underhanded enough for Citi - because nothing, and I mean nothing, is below Citi's dignity as a firm. And the Big 4 consulting firm in question? Very likely PwC, the alma mater of some high up leaders at Citi. Or maybe EY

Post Source:Reddit

Ex Big 4 employee here. I hate to say it but more cuts are coming. I can’t say which Big 4 firm specifically, but this firm and bank have a model where Big 4 firm finds and hires the offshore India resources, proceeds to train them for certain bank roles and then essentially offloads those resources to bank’s books if bank ultimately decides they want those resources. Bank then lays off those in roles that the offshore resources were trained on and replaces the laid off employees with said resources while using “AI developments” and “economic conditions” as the final excuse. For them, it’s a great deal. Cheap resources they didn’t have to find, onboard, and train themselves while paying a structured fee to the Big 4 firm that bank gets to write off. Cheap and easy but certainly controversial. Also just inherently wrong. Bank will eventually realize that these offshore resources actually su-k and the quality of work is so bad that it will only create more work and operational constraints. Remaining employees in hard hit areas will have to manage and deal with the headache of these offshore resources while taking on greater workloads. 1st line is likely the most insulated from this. Anywhere else, best of luck. Sorry.

Does anyone know who would be laid off from this restructuring the company is going to go through?

Surgical layoffs coming in August after secret post-op analysis is completed of current AI and offshoring initiative. Not mass cuts but not small either. Please make sure you have 6 months of pay (gross) in a savings or money market account for your emergency fund. You have been 'WARN'ed.

They getting many cuts?

Announced today, good luck to those remaining…
