#cuts

Involuntary ones.

Does anyone have any idea when the next round will be, June or July 2026?

Please don't assume we're back just because we're hiring. If you've followed the trend over the last few years, OpenText has often hired and then later laid off employees to backfill positions. The current hiring activity alone doesn't necessarily indicate sustained growth.

State lawmakers approved a property tax cut ballot measure. Voters will decide on this proposal in November. Local leaders warn the plan could significantly reduce city revenues. Boca Raton Mayor Andy Thomson stated it could lead to service cuts and layoffs. The city is preparing for difficult decisions ahead.

Children's Aid Society London and Middlesex issued layoff notices. At least 23 workers will be affected starting in September. The agency faces a $5.6 million deficit this year. Union representatives worry about increased workloads and staff burnout. These cuts follow recent union bargaining and chronic underfunding.

Anyone else hearing that there is a small layoff planned in the next 2-3 weeks?

At some point, layoffs at SAP stopped being a last resort and started being a standard business tool. Instead of exhausting every other option first, cutting employees is now the main go-to move whenever costs need trimming.

There's growing chatter about people being cut due to less token usage.

If you weren't heavily using your copilot, it's being seen as "you're not growing" and "adapting" to new technology.

To me it's seems mo--nic,
It's another metric of punishing people who are efficient while people who used dev assist for simply changing a label on UI are being rewarded.

Not that I'm complaining, but just checking.

Will there be more cuts?

HC discussions ongoing. Don’t get too comfortable … stay safe.

I see jobs posted online yet the CEO wants to do more with less. Who knows which way this will go.

Halliburton just lost 80 percent of frac contracts to Gore Nitrogen.
3 frac crews and 1 cement crew walked out at Duncan field camp this morning.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

There were some rumors of more cuts at the start of June, what happened with that?

Bell laid off 300 individuals, mostly related to the MV-75 program. Due to cost cuts and the program transitioning out of design and into production.

Years of hard-earned shares, gone in a jiffy. People poured everything into their roles, and just because the company decides that a role no longer exists, with zero explanation, zero rationalization, employees are left holding the loss.

And the timing? May 31st. Current quarter incomplete. Not only do you lose the shares you earned over years, vesting over the next 3 years, you lose out on the current quarter too.

How is any of this fair?

The shares should be paid in full as those were allocated on the basis of the hard work done so far. This was definitely not expected from Fidelity.

Anyone know if there will be new layoff rounds in June? Hearing rumors that layoffs could become a quarterly occurrence. Any insight on whether there might be cuts next week, and if they would be concentrated in STS or spread across multiple organizations?

Friday isn't usually a layoff day, so I'm thinking no, but if anybody knows for sure, please share.

Do layoffs work like trash days? When there is a holiday, trash pick-up comes a day later than the regular scheduled day. Monday was a holiday this week. Does that mean layoffs will be Friday, May 29 instead of Thursday, May 28?

Columbia College recently laid off six tenured faculty members. This action addresses declining enrollment and a growing budget deficit. The college has now cut 54 full-time faculty since January 2025. The layoffs impacted the Schools of Communication and Culture and Design. Affected faculty will receive pay through the next academic year.

NPR implemented staff reductions following a round of voluntary buyouts. The total workforce reduction amounts to fewer than 30 employees. Most employees accepted buyouts, but 10 journalists were laid off. The content division saw a cut of approximately 4%. These actions address financial pressures from declining revenues.

They always have an excuse on earnings calls. Covid, Presidential elections, war, gas prices, etc. When will analysts call their bluff? They’re so far off from paying off their debt. If they don’t do sell offs, they will continue to cut expenses (headcount) every quarter to make the numbers look better.

@e2+1kr1f5ck0 said it perfectly.

For those that keep asking the question about more cuts coming, the answer is yes!

Anything else getting hit or is this round just for Optum?

As in July or August?

Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools announced layoffs. Seventy-nine employees were impacted by these job reductions.

It aims to strengthen academics and ensure long-term sustainability.

The golden years are long gone. To compete with price slashing, we have to almost give away our product. This leaves less to work with. Though cost cutting has been a theme the past 5 years. But this past year has reached Sprint levels. Do more with less people and money but be happy about leadership's questionable decisions. It is scary the similarities of what Sprint went through before being destroyed and what we are seeing today within. A sad coincidence we added yellow to our colors. On top of all that weight from above, customers are getting worse. Not just with us but everywhere. The entitlement norm and lack of compassion or respect of fellow humans is a crazy strain on workers already looking over their shoulder.

@xx+1kqqf7e4m makes an excellent point.

Do you have any info on this (BTD and BTC Layoffs - Q3/Q4 Prediction)? Given the stock valuation they will have to find $$$ somewhere. Chime in if you have any info.

I'm not asking if there is a LR or not (we're past that) but % wise

Oracle is preparing to us all off!

JPMorgan Chase conducted layoffs in New Jersey this year. Novartis also implemented layoffs in the state. Both companies have had three rounds of staff reductions. Meta, owner of Facebook, announced New Jersey layoffs. British bank Barclays is also letting go of staff in the state.

Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) announced significant layoffs. The company plans to cut 267 jobs in Washington. An additional 53 employees in South Dakota will also be affected.

That are your thoughts?

Should I open a wager on PolyMarkets?

High performer with excellent performance assessments, but I can't do it anymore. Staff cuts have us at bare bones. We do not have the staff to do even an average job anymore, forget about excelling. All we do it jump from one fire to another, a little here and a little there, trying to satisfy everyone and actually not accomplishing anything. Client satisfaction is not even on the radar. Job satisfaction is non-existent. I'm done.
