#cuts

Or are they still at it? This was supposed to be done by the end of February.

State Farm just announced it made $24 Billion dollars last year and is going to pay $5 Billion in dividends. Most in history! State Farm is a Mutual Company and should never ever ever never make that much money. They have the best actuaries and investment people and know exactly what they are doing. That means they have been robbing people blind. Remember that the next time they tell you to do more with less or we don't have any money in the budget for staffing. I can only imagine what kind of bonuses the Executives are going get. Just like the rest of Corporate America destroying this nation. Sc-m of the earth trash!

Or are we enjoying a well-deserved break right now?

There’s definitely plenty of fat around here. The problem is that when cuts come, the fat somehow stays and the actual muscle that does the work gets cut. Sad but true. We’ve got so many useless managers who could be removed, but they’ll continue to stick around and siphon off resources. What a crock.

Why March 3rd?

Devon may feel better knowing that Coterra employees got railroaded on bonus pay. Blood is In the water, and expect our efforts in the toilet. Moral is gone, can’t imagine any efforts or above expectations. Let the quiet quitting begin. OKC may keep its strong presence after all. Figured it may let someone other side feel better. I hear Devon payouts were business as usual. Congrats!

Healthcaredice.com posted an article about Cigna’s recent announcement of cuts that affects worldwide employees…yeah right. Meanwhile, they’re actively hiring EMPLOYEES in India.

• Cigna plans to lay off roughly 2,000 employees, just under 3% of the company’s workforce, to cut costs by the end of February.

Speak with your Congressional Representative, I have. They will be looking at this. The number of jobs leaving America is egregious. What economic path will our children have?

eBay will be laying off 800 or 6% of its work force. The S#@$

Its about to go down! More cuts 2nd week in March. Don't say i told you so. Bucci's is always hiring

Has anyone else been hearing about the upcoming RIFs in Parametric Test?

How many of these jokers got cut by state?

Does anyone know what changes are being made to the STI program for 2026? The communication sent to managers makes it sound like negative things are headed our way.

Will layoffs definitely happen 2/26? Is this the last round for the “2,000 employees”? Does anyone have any insight on which areas?

SF isn’t going anywhere: she appears committed to steering the company in the wrong direction, alongside her puppet minions; Toohey, Kehoe and Beatty.

We exceeded our targets largely because we reduced the workforce by 15k. The employees who remain are carrying significantly heavier workloads, with more responsibilities on their plates and no meaningful automation or improved processes to support them. New ways of working is just a facade.

We’ve invested millions in McKinsey, including commissions tied to projected savings effectively keeping them afloat only to see consultants and leadership reverse course on recommendations made two to three years ago. Well done Chief Executive officer and Chief financial officer!

We position ourselves as a global company, yet we don’t truly operate like one. Investment in senior roles and promotions is heavily concentrated in the U.S., while long-standing employees in other regions are seeing their roles downgraded and the value of their careers diminished. Let’s applaud our chief of people!

There also seems to be a disconnect even a sense of delusion in celebrating a 73% “recommend as a place to work” score. Many employees are worried about job security, have seen benefits reduced, and are under constant pressure from managers to “just get on with it.” The prevailing sentiment is that FIS does not genuinely care about its people. Well done chief of people!

And yet, we’re setting a goal to increase client NPS by 10 points. We’re still in negative territory the ambition appears to be to frustrate clients slightly less, rather than meaningfully improve their experience. Well done chief of clients!

Intel's next scheduled major job eliminations for 2026 are set to take effect on July 15, 2026. These cuts specifically impact manufacturing hubs, including four campuses in Oregon, where worker counts for this round jumped nearly fivefold to approximately 2,400 roles.
This 2026 wave is part of a broader initiative to slash an additional $1 billion in operating expenses throughout the year to reach a target global headcount of approximately 75,000 employees.

The San Juan Unified School District board will discuss eliminating up to 320 full-time positions. The meeting will take place in Carmichael on Tuesday. The potential cuts are due to budget concerns. Positions include counselors, teachers, and instructional assistants. Some affected roles were funded by expired COVID-19 grants.

Can someone describe what the process is for deciding which round you are a part of for the layoffs? I know I was marked because of what I was linked to workwise and sus behavior this year, but what determines what wave you are a part of? I have nothing to do and not sure why I am still here with nothing to do.

I was let go in Jan by an a--hole, he's a--hole not only as per me, according to his peers,my peers (his direct reports) his manager all of them. After this also I was let go, my team members were grateful (scared) to be saved. His peers didn't say anything as they wanted to be safe. His manager (my skip manager) only wants to cut cut cut. My question is who's validating that who's being let go and whom are they saving?

We're 90% through, and the last 10% could happen anytime between now and forever, just to keep us on edge? Sigh.

Any new layoffs in 2026?

Any teams impacted today?

Are there going to be anymore impacts today?

With the pending cuts and return to the office , I would like to know will the office be providing free coffee and lunch at least one day a week? Am i going to have equipment at the office and at home? I should not have to carry my computer, monitors, cables between home and the office.
I now will have lost time due to travel, have to spend money on travel to and from the office.
I have been told that it is expected we are in the office eight to five and they will be monitoring who is late or leaves early. This place gets worse by the minute

The Plumas Unified School District approved significant staff layoffs. These cuts aim to address a $9.5 million ongoing budget deficit. The deficit represents 27% of the district's total budget.

Lowe's recently announced a round of mass layoffs. These layoffs will impact many employees. Dozens of Georgia-based staff are affected. The company made this announcement. Georgia workers face job reductions.

The Antioch Unified School District board approved a preliminary layoff plan. This plan affects about 300 full-time jobs. The district faces a $30 million deficit over two years. Layoffs aim to reduce expenses by $38 million for the 2026-2027 school year. The county office recently downgraded the district's budget certification.

All day I heard of people being let go. Tough to hear messages of unity when great people who deserved better are cut and dropping like riffed flies all around you plus the worry of being next. And then you got Harvard and Cheese living another day and sc--wing everyone else out of another dollar. How many extra and super VPs does it take to figure out that sham? What’s the damage from today? Thought this was a sales and ops restructure, but there would be more chatter.

I’m really struggling to understand how the DEI leadership is handling these layoffs. Even after all these job cuts, if the stock price still doesn’t reach $400, what’s the backup plan?
It’s disappointing to see a company that was once run so well end up in this situation. It feels like the leadership has put too much trust in a small inner circle led by DP Koka and his Indian friends, and now those same executives are driving these large-scale layoffs. Meanwhile, they’ll likely walk away with generous payouts, but what about the hardworking employees who are losing their jobs? They didn’t deserve this.
It’s frustrating to watch the company go through this, especially when employees are the ones bearing the brunt of these decisions that don’t give any meaningful results in the long run.
It’s hard to believe the CEO isn’t recognizing what’s happening. It makes me wonder whether he’s disengaged or possibly thinking about stepping away, because the current direction doesn’t seem reassuring.
If DP were to become CEO, I’d honestly be concerned about the company’s future. From my perspective, his leadership style hasn’t inspired much confidence, and I worry about what strategic decisions might follow. Overall, it just feels like the company needs stronger, more transparent leadership right now.

Traditionally, it seems layoff meetings are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a reason for this?

Tiffin Motorhomes Incorporated filed a WARN notice in Alabama in February 2026, resulting in 139 layoffs.

When will this be over damn it?

Was anyone told that merit increases were not going to be given to 3's this year? Was told it was company wide. Is that true?

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is considering significant staff reductions. Over 27 full-time equivalent positions are targeted for elimination. These cuts include early reading intervention teachers and custodial staff. The district cites declining enrollment and budget pressures as reasons for the proposed layoffs. Parents and a union are actively protesting these planned reductions.

What a real win for Jane. Citibank cuts staff for raises to the top executives. No one knows including the entire department. You just vanish after 10 years and they say nothing. While Jane received a $41 million dollar pay day.

I certainly let go of all my 200+ shares in the company. This is not progress or innovation this is pure theft. I see top executives are selling very quickly. To the management shame on you!

You couldn’t even give a hint of notice saying anything. Not even a 60 day notice prior to letting us go. A tap on the shoulder and say hey you’re going to be laid off after a decade of work. When the stock falls to nothing no one will be shocked.

Elk Grove Unified School District board members voted to eliminate or reassign numerous classified positions. This reduction totaled 60.0388 full-time equivalent positions across various roles. The board simultaneously approved a significant pay raise for its own members. Their maximum monthly compensation will increase from $750 to $3,000. This decision occurred amidst a nearly $35 million district deficit and union objections.

Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen warned of significant budget cuts. His office faces a potential 12% reduction, totaling $19 million. This could lead to 75 to 80 employee layoffs. Misdemeanor prosecutions and youth prevention programs may be abandoned. The county faces a $1 billion deficit, causing an unprecedented fiscal crisis.

Carnage across Tech and Controls teams this week. It’s like a turkey shoot. Sites hit hard New York, Jersey, Tampa and telecommuters. Folk are getting an hour’s notice of the call and their system access is cut at the end. No ifs and no buts just a quick 15 minutes goodbye and good luck.

I've learned the old pattern of doing layoff's on Thursdays is being modified this year. They'll be doing them on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the foreseeable future. There were folks let go yesterday and there was one today in Optum Health and HR, tomorrow is OT's day of reckoning.
