Large scale January layoffs unlikely

There was a post months back that was probably right. 2026 is about hiring freezes and attrition with the big layoff for 2027 which will hit later this year. So, rest assured regardless of your situation the company does not care about you. It’s a machine. Stop living in the past, those days are long gone.

It's just like The Traitors game show !

Is it just me, or does it feel to you like were living in The Traitors game show. Every day the Faithful try their hardest to generate cash, meanwhile the Traitors (HR in our case) are weighing us all up for the Ax, then they invite the unlucky ones into a room alone to tell them the bad news ... meanwhile the rest of the company carry on regardless and only learn who has gone when they don't turn up the next morning (no official announcement of anything).

We even have our own Donna Kelce (Secret Traitor) who provides the Traitors lists of potential unfortunates to be cut - I can reveal, the Secret Traitor - its ATHINA KANIOURA S&T Chief !

Seriously though, isn't it just like living in The Traitors, every night you get a terrible sleep wondering if tomorrow morning it will be your last. Big obvious difference - we don't get to banish the Traitors, only the Secret Traitor gets to do that. Oh and this show goes on for a decade ...

Query Regarding Potential WFR Notifications

Has anyone been officially notified yet about the possibility of an upcoming WFR?

I wanted to check because recently my manager has become noticeably less communicative and doesn’t acknowledge my presence the way they used to. There hasn’t been any direct feedback or conversation, so I’m unsure how to interpret the change.

Does this kind of behavior typically indicate that someone may be on the list for a potential WFR, or am I reading too much into it? I’d appreciate hearing from others who may have experienced something similar or have insights into how these situations usually unfold.

Thanks in advance.

New Updated Intelligence On Walmart Layoffs

We don’t expect large wholesale layoffs before EOY (Jan 31st). Q4 is going fine, holiday event went fine and previous layoffs achieved the expense reduction plan. Therefore, we think everyone can rest easy for awhile.

However, there’s a trifecta of conditions that create concerns for the May (and beyond) time frame:

Leadership is changing and focus from the CEO perspective will likely be to stop the project and dollar bleed from languishing projects and project now out of favor.

Tech leadership is in the target zone to change from service provider to business partner, and when that spotlight shines, discovery of money pit projects will surface. Many will be scrapped along with the tech staff on them.

Focus on evaluating AI efforts will continue and sone projects will be cancelled and new ones will appear. That could add to staff reductions.

Expect to see reorganization efforts to more closely align with business goals. Reorganized always create excess staff, so take that into account.

The next 6-8 weeks will prove to be consequential for those in peril of low performance and the typical calibration type meetings will displace those that are unpopular for one reason or another.

It’ll be May before actions are apparent on new leaders, new goals and new projects actual staffing.

We still think transportation, distribution centers and stores will fare fine in 2026. The risk is primarily in tech, we believe
