Can people who landed fullstack jobs outside this company share their preparation experience and how quickly were you able to land the job? Esp, when you hardly got any time to prepare during the job.

Gartner had a mass layoff in TA end of September (not performance based) and now I see Gartner is advertising jobs on LinkedIn for recruiters. How can they layoff staff, then post same job less than 3 months later?

I wonder if this will cause bp to reconsider sending so many jobs there. I mean, that’s not exactly business friendly.

The town that the U.S. Navy built, then fractured when the base closed in 1996 -- Vallejo -- is about to be hit again with job and industry loss as the dry dock at the West Coast's oldest shipyard facility announced it will be undergoing major layoffs at Mare Island.

(Bloomberg) – ExxonMobil plans to cut about 2,000 jobs globally as the Texas oil company consolidates smaller offices into regional hubs as part of its long-term restructuring plan.

The reductions represent about 3% to 4% of Exxon’s global workforce and are part of the company’s ongoing efficiency drive, Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods said in an memo to employees Tuesday. Calgary-based Imperial Oil Ltd., which is nearly 70% owned by Exxon, announced Monday it is cutting 20% of its workforce.

Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips and bp Plc are among major oil companies to have also announced thousands of job cuts in recent months as crude prices tumbled this year in response to increased supplies from OPEC and its allies. Exxon, however, has been on a major internal restructuring push since 2019 as Woods sought to simplify the company’s sprawling global footprint that came as a result of the merger with Mobil two decades ago.

Exxon is making “tough decisions” that build upon a years-long effort to improve competitiveness, Woods said in the memo. “The changes we’ve announced today will further strengthen our advantages and grow the gap with our competition, helping to keep us in the lead for decades to come,” he said.

Exxon declined to comment beyond the employee memo.

The regional hubs will focus on Exxon’s major growth initiatives such as oil in Guyana, liquefied natural gas along the Gulf Coast and trading globally. For example, the company recently announced plans to move employees from Brussels and Leatherhead, UK, to central London, where many of its traders are based.

Exxon had nine functional companies that operated relatively independently from one another when Woods took over in 2017, creating layers of bureaucracy and duplication of support services. The company now has three main divisions — production, refining and low-carbon — all of which share services like engineering, IT and project management.

The changes have helped Exxon cut $13.5 billion of annual costs since 2019, more than all other international oil majors combined, according to the company. It plans to increase this figure by 30% through the end of the decade.

Some savings have come through asset sales and workforce reductions, but Woods has said the changes also have led to better performance, such has improved maintenance of major facilities and better sharing of best practices between business units.

Exxon employed 61,000 people globally at the end of 2024, nearly 20% less than in 2019, according to the company’s annual filings. Imperial had 5,100 employees at the end of 2024.

Have any of the other laid off employees been struggling to find work? I've had to start an Onlyf-ns. It isn't going great, but it is helping me buy food. If any other RIF employees also had to do this to survive let me know and maybe we could collab.

I have applied over 90 roles at Fidelity, not a single call for interview and it comes back as they are moving forward with other candidates. If the company and specially hiring manager has someone in their circle or known group member to hire why post it and wasting my time. I like Fidelity culture, benefits, despite of their low pay scale as their 401k, bonus and other things make up of that pay

Instead of developing people or rewarding effort, they just keep piling on more responsibility and calling it “growth.” No new title, no raise, no acknowledgment. You end up doing the work of two jobs while being treated like you should be grateful for the opportunity.

Long story short he/she asked if I have thought about looking for another job outside TR, just in case.

I know it’s probably not going to happen, but still. This year was exhausting, and I can only imagine what those who already lost their jobs are going through.

• Over 4,200 jobs are being cut nationwide across manufacturing, logistics, and transportation sectors, continuing a trend of industrial employment strain into 2026.
• The layoffs impact diverse areas such as EV supply chains (e.g., Ford's 1,600 job cut at a battery plant pivoting away from EV production), food processing, trailer manufacturing, and warehousing.
• These job losses are driven by structural shifts, including recalibrated EV demand, automation pullbacks, and prolonged market weakness, putting pressure on labor-intensive operations in the freight industry.

Relocation is insanely costly these days, and the chances of keeping your job after uprooting yourself and your family are extremely low. It’s just another attrition tactic. Refusing to relocate plays into leadership’s hands, but going along with it is even more senseless.

Preferably for free. They’ll keep setting conditions and requirements harder to meet, so we either quit or give them grounds to fire us. Make your decisions accordingly. I wouldn’t relocate for a job these days under any circumstances. I want to keep my job, and I need it, especially now when the job market is horrendous and the future is very volatile. But the cost of relocating, both material and social, can’t be justified for a job that doesn’t pay all that much and that you could lose the day after you move.

I live in Massachusetts and I am considering applying for AI/ML job in their Hopkinton campus (or Franklin one). I expected at least $250K total annual compensation. Can Dell provide me and Engineering job with such salary in MA?

I was told WF doesn’t give promotions. Any truth to this? I have been here for 1 year and was hoping to get a title change.

Artificial intelligence is coming for your jobs 70% reduction in manufacturing.

This has always been a job. If you are lucky enough to move up the ranks good for you. I always put in the time to get my work done and if that included extra time occasionally so be it. However if I got my tasks done at 4:59 I was signed out at 5.

I’m in coding and there is a coding auditor role open that I’m applying for. Can anyone share their pay amount if they are in this role. I am a coder for family practice at 36.53 (75k). I saw some posts about recent layoffs so not sure if that’s why this is open.

Thanks for anyone’s help.

Well, looks like I made it through this time. I hate uncertainty and always want to have a plan b, although the job market is tough what companies are we applying to? Supply chain professional

Recent research suggests equity markets are responding negatively to corporate layoff announcements, regardless of whether companies cite cost savings, AI-driven efficiency, or restructuring.

Firms announcing layoffs have underperformed the broader market and show weaker financial trends than peers, including higher debt and interest expense growth and slower profit growth. This has led investors to question whether layoffs reflect deeper operational pressures rather than productivity gains, even as broader corporate balance sheets remain relatively healthy

PepsiCo is reportedly preparing for job cuts, with layoffs potentially announced as soon as this week. A key indicator is the company's instruction for employees in some major North American offices, including its headquarters, to work from home. These potential changes follow a memorandum from PepsiCo outlining initiatives to enhance shareholder value, focusing on organic revenue growth, productivity savings, and improved operating margins. These strategic shifts are widely interpreted as a response to activist investor Elliott Investment Management's demands for cost reduction and operational efficiencies. While no official layoffs have been announced, PepsiCo executives have used the term "right-sizing the workforce," which often refers to job eliminations.

I’ve done everything people tell you to do, kept my skills current, paid for a professional resume, stayed active with networking, and kept applying consistently, yet I’m still sitting here with no offers after more than six months. The interviews I did get felt positive, but then I got ghosted after later rounds, which makes the whole process feel even more discouraging. At this point I genuinely don’t know what else I’m supposed to change to turn interviews into an actual offer.

And no, AI will not save the day. Even if it could, why would any of us, actual human beings who need jobs, be happy about that?

Sycamore is set to replicate the approach they used with Staples for Walgreens, establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC) and relocating over 70% IT jobs to India. TCS will be supporting this transition. Good Luck to those who are still with Walgreens!

I’m thinking that I’m about to be laid off and I’m hearing there are zero jobs out there. Anyone have any ideas of ppl who may be hiring? My best friend just got an mba w 5 years of experience and cannot get an interview anywhere.

Just saw a manager job for my store posted with "East Region -Hold per HRBP" in the position title. What does this mean? It's a store that someone on here claimed would be closing but it has not shown up on any closing lists and seems to do very well sales wise.

I detest my job. I work 60-hour weeks without any benefits.

Perhaps if I work harder, they’ll take care of me?

look at the list of people they need in India. if that's your current role then you might want to start writing to your senator, to Trum, etc and let them know about this. because once you get laid off, you will have to sign something saying you can't retaliate, etc, if you want your severance.
