And here we have the Nuvia boss leaving...nobody likes gladiator and Su-k.ash....for the good of the company they must be fired

We had a guy all of a sudden “leave” our group. We all think he was either fired or laid off but our boss says he will be out “X amount of weeks.” No one believe him. I have been with the bank over 20 years and never heard of someone removed from the system and then put back in when they come back—?! Comments?

Let go from Hagerstown after 11+ years, no reason given.

Found a management person was having an affair. I never said a word till now. But did my accidental discovery cause my layoff?

Head of UX Design at Strategy & Transformation was dismissed this week. Role terminated immediately. He clearly won’t be missed considering his reputation and poor legacy. What other senior roles at S&T were impacted this week?

ASTLs being offered severance or to reapply for open TL spot end of Q1 2026

KM is gone!

JS has been dismissed and alot of new faces from brightspeed and verizon have joined.

From a Google search :

Wrongful Termination: Companies cannot lay off an employee in a specific position and immediately hire a new person to fill that exact same role domestically without risking a wrongful termination lawsuit. However, replacing the position with an offshore role is generally considered a valid business decision.

Would this qualify for anyone who holds a position that will remain and then gets "kicked out" by another person? Would this qualify as grounds for wrongful dismmisal as the company didn't actually downsize or move out that role?

I was working closely with an individual who was unfortunately let go..

Are they still suppose to work? I hope NOT. I am not sure how to approach or not approach at all.

I sometimes wonder how someone who is 81, and serves a 79 year old President can tolerate the dismissal of dedicated staff simply because the workers enter their sixties?

Nasrin apparently thought it would be fun to fire a bunch of us on a group call. Classy

Nokia's Polish branch refuses to recognize a legal trade union. A pattern of union busting that betrays Finland's democratic labor values

" Zwiazkowa Nowoczesna is a legally registered trade union founded in 2024 at Nokia Solutions & Networks Poland. From the very beginning, Nokia's local management has employed tactics directly drawn from the classic union busting playbook: refusing to communicate, denying legal status, and obstructing any form of dialogue with employees. These are not isolated missteps—they form a pattern, suggesting intent rather than confusion.
Recently, Nokia Poland reiterated in an official letter that “your trade union does not exist for us,” despite receiving multiple formal notifications required by Polish law regarding our activity and membership. This position is blatantly illegal. According to Poland's Trade Union Act, employers must recognize and communicate with every duly formed trade union, regardless of size. There are no legal grounds for denying recognition of our existence, and doing so constitutes a violation of fundamental labor rights protected both by national and EU law.

This conduct reveals bad faith. It shows that Nokia is not merely misunderstanding Polish legal standards—it is consciously disregarding them. Such behavior would be unthinkable in Finland, a country where trade unions helped shape the very foundations of the modern welfare state and social economy. The contrast is striking: a Finnish company that thrives within a strong system of social dialogue now exports authoritarian labor practices to Central and Eastern Europe."

Management is pressuring to stop severence now only in rare cases. With the revised year end process, management is making it all about performance. If you are deemed partial or not meeting in any sense, you are subject to dismissal with no severence. It can be for anything. If a project fails and wasnt your fault, too bad. Guilty by association. Yes, they CAN get away with this. Goal is 20% reductions with no severence.
Something bigger is definitely afoot.

Was supposed to be in a meeting and the person had an OOO stating they were no longer with the company....are we letting go of people. I looked up another person and same message.

A mandatory shift bid, AI, moving people’s roles, changing up departments (Which can often be a sign of layoffs creeping up), and changing metrics? Some of this helps, but I feel as if these changes are being implemented to make a lot of people voluntarily leave to avoid layoffs. It smells of constructive dismissal/discharge in some form. Maybe I’m wrong. This job has had its pros and cons. I’m sorry to those of you who have to endure whatever Wayfair throws.

Lloyds Banking Group will put thousands of its staff at risk of dismissal, with the UK bank’s lowest performers set to be told their work must improve or they face the axe.

The bank plans to overhaul how it manages the performance of its 63,000 employees, according to people with knowledge of the plans, with about 3,000 people deemed among the bottom 5 per cent set to be put at risk of dismissal. About half of those could lose their jobs, the people added.

This is how the 10% in bp will be managed out with the new performance review system.. starting next year (the article also says the bottom 5% will be put on improvement plans..hmm where did i hear that before).. nothing new across industry and the above is wat cheaper than current redundancy programme.. don't say you were not warned !!!
