Considering 93% of households have FCC Broadband and 98% of USA citizens 18+ have a cellphone in USA.... the Broadband/Mobile markets become a price driven commodity play.

Think Head Count reduction, Mergers, Aquistions...

Simple as that. Make RTO mandatory 5 days a week and 20% of the workforce would leave voluntarily. Easy as that.

I am hearing more layoffs from my manager on the network side coming in October. Regions will be combined to reduce head count.

Jeff Silverstri QA head is retiring. Thank you for trying to put quality first at BD. In spite of the messaging from above our commitment to quality is reflected by our too frequent recalls, FDA 483 and warnings letters. Head count reductions to QA and support staff. - the next guy in line will do just that, get in line. Cash in and cash out, platitudes and all.

With headcount reduction ongoing if you dropped this year then don’t plan on anything improving going forward. The question is how quickly will you reach NSI?

Thoughts? Still a headcount reduction strategy?

It was confirmed that instead of "lumpy" layoffs every 4-5 years that they plan to reduce headcount yearly in a "less lumpy" and "more smooth way," whatever the he-l that means. There was a lot of time spent explaining this. Any other areas of the company confirm that they're still planning to reduce headcount every year?

Oracle reportedly considering a new round of layoffs.

Business Insider says some teams at the company could be cut by double digit percentages.

The company reportedly wants to reduce head count by the beginning of September.

Oracle cut 21,000 jobs between the middle of 2025 and 2026. That was about 13% of its workforce.

The past this past March, the company told employees it would shed jobs as it faced investor pressure over raising debt for its A I build out.

I know the rumor mill runs strong, especially since there is zero transparency. read a comment here that said 4900 layoffs were this week.

But if "4 out of 5 Centeamers who will be leaving are part of the VSP", is true - that means what, almost 25,000 overall reduction in headcount?

there's no way this is right. if so, GOOD LORD.

If there were any staffing changes affecting your team today, please share:

From our product team, almost everyone is gone except a tiny handful. The product is basically dead. I’m hearing bit cuts from other groups too, though not as extreme as ou

Is this just a headcount reduction exercise? If so, what happens to new product development or even basic maintenance? Do VP/SVP really think AI tools can replace entire teams, or have they just given up and started trimming ISG to make it look cleaner for a sale?

Anyone up in the food chain have any thoughts on this?

Rumors said today was going to be a bloodbath, how many were hit? What are the numbers you're hearing?

Dell filed w the sec on the amount the layoffs will cost the Company

They are hiding it by running monthly layoffs below x number of employees per month, so they would not need do publicly announce it. The AI is still sh-t and its bubble will bite them, can't wait 😆

Here are my top 8 predictions for the remainder of FY27

1. GC lumped with Korea, SE&I, and Japan. Will help improve GC earnings + makes sense from consumer preference stand point. I’d anticipate some GC roles to go as they’d be duplicative of existing APLA roles
2. Rest of APLA lumped with EMEA. Will help improve EMEA earnings. Same points as above. Will probably eliminate roles in EMEA and have them elsewhere. Makes it easier for long term roles adjustments if roles are outside of Europe. Reduce Europe logistics footprint
3. Innovation cut heavily due to AI (graphic Tees, etc)
4. Planning roles outsourced to India. This is no longer a tech prophecy, it’s not entering the biz
5. Palantir/SwooshIQ engagement increases. Reducing analytics enterprise wide
6. SCPO analytics dissolved (pushed into Biz functions)
7. Increased hiring in NA from reduced roles in NA DCs.
8. September HC reductions from supporting functions

Interviewed a bunch of Freddie Mac employees, each of them shared that layoffs are coming. Both in single family division.

Pennymac has eliminated select lending and fulfillment roles as the company prepares for its earnings report. This decision comes amid a challenging mortgage sector influenced by sustained high interest rates. Affected employees have indicated that roles such as loan consultants and managers were impacted. The company is providing severance support to those affected by the layoffs. This follows a similar move last month where Pennymac closed an office in Tennessee.

Boston Scientific has announced a new global restructuring plan approved by its board of directors. This initiative aims to achieve sustained cost efficiencies and support continued growth. The company expects some positions to be eliminated as part of these restructuring activities. While new jobs will be created in growth areas, overall headcount reductions are anticipated. The plan is designed to ensure the company is structured to meet its strategic priorities.
