#impact

This will be a global impact, the US will be hit the most. just my opinion based on the vibe.

There seems to be a big RIF coming. Not sure exactly who’s impacted but seems like there’s going to be a lot. Today was the last day HR submitted it in their “RIF Tracker”. Goodluck yall.

Is it a coincidence that as soon as Verizon partnered with these two Indian companies everything started getting much worse? Or am I being unfair?

Let’s try to keep a list in one place. Based on what people have shared so far, it might actually be easier to point out which orgs seem safe. It’s looking really bad. I’m so sorry we all have to go through this.

how are these areas not impacted?

Got the layoff email from Melissa - 9am ct today.

I heard that everybody but GT (why not???) is having layoffs today in EMEA. Is that right? How many have been impacted?

I find the ask to wfh next week really icky. What happened to all that talk about connection and collaboration? These are layoffs. There are real people that are going to be affected. Not just another headline.

Anyone have insight oh how thia will affect Engine?

Good luck

How do you think we will be impacted by layoffs.

Was let go along with a few of my colleagues. I was not expecting anything different from management. Sent my stupid worthless laptop they think is more precious than people. Hope everyone is doing well. I have 2 kids and it hurts me to see them in their eyes to say Daddy is not working today

I was impacted and reading everyone’s threads has been both reassuring and sad. Thank you to everyone for sharing openly and honestly— when work culture suffers from toxic leadership and snuffs our ability to have actual community and honest conversation about the company we work(ed) for, we came here— I’m glad for that. I also am not using “toxic leadership” to score a hit— it’s a real construct with indicators and impact. Reading about it might help you put more objective (sorry for this term) language to what you’re experiencing.

If you’re still at Gartner, I do not envy you. I would prefer to still be working there rather than be unemployed, but I also can’t imagine what it was like/is like to be making calls and selling people on a place you can no longer trust. That would be hard.

My advice to those currently recruiting would be to not trust internal communications about Gartner performance. Remember that it benefits them to make you believe we are doing well. This makes us more effective sellers. I was an effective seller, and I am left feeling guilty for selling people on a lie- I put them in a position to experience what I have just gone through.

Trust what you are seeing with stock prices and quiet layoffs, and make a plan for if things change quickly. I had no plan, and I am paying for it now- the best I can do now is to suggest it to others.

If you’re a well-intentioned leader and you’re reading this, please know that I (and others) understand that you passed down the information you were given, which was the misleading “Gartner is doing great” speak that was all but smashed over our heads in the Q2 town hall. The best you can do is to not repeat this kind of speech to your teams: it leads to us being unprepared. We also get enough of it already through the carefully crafted corporate comms that reassure us we are a great company at all times. You don’t have to add your voice if you know there’s risk ahead for your people.

I will never get to speak to those who intentionally misled people who make 5% of their salary. Those most senior leaders manufactured security through talk tracks and inside Gartner emails that assured us of growth and opportunity, while designing layoffs in private. They do not know you and do not care about you. They will end your healthcare at midnight and give you four weeks of severance, all while telling you “when we do the right thing, great results will follow.”

Be very cautious, whether you’re still there or not. Have a plan. I am still most grateful for the people who did work ethically and without acting like Gartner gave a damn beyond the bottom line.

Myself and a bunch of other people got laid off in the health area at Allstate.

Barnhart layoff update…pls post which department(s) were affected.

Spell out acronyms please. I see lots of posts about people working 8 hours in the office but there are some of us who are worried about working zero (0) hours soon.

not a good sign for the economy too.
30+ people were let go.
we fear that more will be let go.
godspeed all

It looks like more people will be let go in December. High-cost countries will be affected, but also Serbia and India. Serbia is usually left out (minimum impact) of the RIFs, as there is a huge turnover there, and Service Desks are decimated. Serbia is raising its minimum wage by January so entry-level jobs will be in the same range.

Suncor said they wouldn't touch their field staff. They did, firing engineers and all.

heard someone say actuary and client were next, anyone know anything

This is how I will get through staring at their empty desks.

How many of the incompetent ch-des in Corporate Communications are they letting go of?

Getting close to the end of the third quarter. How far into October do they start RIF’s???

Sep22 6am UTC - Sep23 7am UTC totals: 392 layoffs, 128 additions.
September totals (except Sep01): 5497 layoffs, and 810 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

Wondering if this is what they have in store for NA employees in all departments. A lot of changes have been made. I wonder how many people have actually made it out or targeted after these changes.

The recent increase in the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 significantly impacts companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which heavily rely on exploitation of Indian workers using this visa program to employ serf workers in the U.S.
Financial Implications for TCS
ASPECT DETAILS
Current H-1B Visa Fee Approximately $1,500
New H-1B Visa Fee $100,000 per application
Estimated Cost Increase From about $13.4 million to $1.34 billion annually for Indian IT firms
Dependency on H-1B Visas TCS will reduce the USA workforce by 5,000 - 10,000 workers with no severance to ensure profits and senior management bonuses are met for the Sahibs and Zamindars to ensure their loyalty.

US citizens will be prioritized to be fired first during the first round of firings.
So much for loyalty

Wonder how this will effect EnGen and Highmark???

It applies to H‑1B visa applicants who are outside the U.S. seeking new entry or visa issuance. The rule requires that, for an H‑1B petition to be accepted (or, more precisely, for visa issuance / entry to be allowed if one is outside the U.S.), the employer must pay a supplemental fee of $100,000.

How do you think the recent announcement requiring $100,000 per year for H1B visas will impact VZ?

Recognizing that existing holders are exempt, what do you think the timing of any impacts will be?

Especially interested to hear from any current H1B or L1 visa holders.

This loooong reorg, threat of job loss, time to look for another, etc, takes a toll on the whole family, relationships, marriage, friendships. So many are tired of hearing about the drama. Internal family dynamics are so stressed. It’s so damaging beyond a lot of posters who are like there’s life beyond here etc. it’s true but it’s a deep cut no one at the working level asked for.

Now that it will cost $100k per year to sponsor an h1b, how do you think this impacts our fellow foreigners working at broadcom?

Are they cooked, finished or?

Looks like the cost of a H1B Visa may be going from $1,000 to $100,000. Walmart may have entered the FO part of FAFO. Those Q3 budget talks going to be crazy.

I heard that there are way too many L3s. To be addressed this month.

I'm fairly new to the company and haven't been impacted yet. Will there be more layoffs in the future for the US like in 2026, I'm asking because I have an opportunity elsewhere, and I work in support.

It all goes down Monday

What’s the process for employees that are impacted this round?
