#layoffrumor

Is it over? How many people were hit? Which areas? Anything?

When is Verizon India likely to lay off its employees?

Any truth to the rumor posted here a few weeks ago that all freelance employees are being let go in one swoop? That can’t be true, can it?

Anyone know if there are going to be layoffs before Christmas?

My manager told me that another BIG round of layoffs is happening in mid Nov, approved by people very high up......And then again in Q1...... 66% in previous post was not a lie..... it will be the ultimate goal by Q2 2026...... Everyone should START LOOKING FOR JOBS. All the best

anyone hearing another round of layoffs before Thanksgiving ?

Word on the FIS layoff thread is that TSYS team members who are moving over there will be laid off this month.

Notification went out today to TSYS team members who will remain part of GP and will not move to FIS. Current legal entity is TSYS and that will shift to Global Payments.

I heard today that they will be closing stores by the end of the year…..hopefully not true

Of being canned!!

I believe it only impacts who has made good $ . not the real workforce.

Got a meeting invite at 3pm on a Friday at the end of November. Should I be worried??

Lol now Dave Shull is gone hahaha great job ruining Poly

Talked to two Grade 8’s - both in FI, who are extremely confident that there will be some sort of RIF this month, maybe 11/18. Sounds like a sizable cut.

Another person I used to work with in PI Phones, high up, confirmed. Anyone else hearing anything?

Of course it’s a rumor but…. Has anyone else heard of layoffs coming to the default world (Collections, Recovery, operations)? I have always had good connections here but I am relatively new. curious if someone else can validate what I heard. From what I heard there were going to be changes in Q1 2026 on top of what is happening now.

Scrum masters, chapters, squads are "retiring"

Wonder who's next on the chopping blocks.

November 18th doomsday clock seems still accurate.

Hey all. Be aware that I have on good on great authority that a small round of layoffs for HQ employees is planned. Gather your personal things discreetly of course before the week ends. Best wishes colleagues.

Run for your lives. More layoffs incoming.

Town hall seemed to say everyone is going to have a 1 on 1 with their manager this month to talk about their future. Surely wouldnt bother if there isn't bad news to break.

Also no merit increases again, su-k it up.

Has anyone gotten anymore recent updates on potential upcoming layoffs?

Let's crowdsource the next RA list for IBM. I will start:

I know for a fact some layoffs have already happened. Why isn’t anyone coming on here and giving details?

Someone talking about few key well known leaders are going to let go. Anyone knows more about it. Big guys names are in the talk. Share or if you hear anything about it.

Who is most at risk of being laid off? Is it based on salary typically or what is the criteria?

When do you guys think we will know lay-off numbers and timing? I am hearing >200 with over 80% of what’s left of The Woodlands office. Anyone else hearing differently?

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is brutal now and I’m job hugging like a motherf----r, I’m not ready to leave yet.

Has any C-Level exec ever been to the Atlanta office?

Seems like less people than normal already. Spoke to one of the cafeteria ladies and she agreed. Anyone else thinking the same?

Hearing from multiple sources that a layoff is planned for November 14th?

Anyone else have an ad-hoc 1:1 with their manager?

Seeing lots post for greater VZ, wondering if there’s any rumors to those of us that survived the sale of INTL.

I saw someone mention it here, and if that’s true, it would mean another round right before Christmas. Can anyone confirm if that’s actually the case?

I’m hearing rumors that band 5 and above is getting notices this week or accepting a special package. Can any Sr Directors or above confirm this?

Band 6 and below will be the 11/20 group. Im hearing those names are being compiled by band 5 and above now, but I’d like to hear confirmation from the band 5s?

Someone somewhere must have credible information by now. Please let us know!

My workload’s dropped off a cliff over the last few months, and while I can’t say for certain, it really feels like my manager’s been avoiding me. I’m almost sure my name’s on the list. Weirdly enough, that realization’s made things easier to handle. Now that I know what’s probably coming, I feel calmer and I’ve already started looking for my next move.
