#layoffs

Have there been any changes since the last time?

Do we know yet how bad today's gonna be?

Any idea which areas and how many?

Major shake up coming across Enterprise Partnerships in the near future. Expect to be impacted in one way or another.

If you are impacted or know somebody who is, please drop your org and (if you know) years of service.

People are really on edge lately about the ranking/layoffs.
Employees look at each other as competitors as we walk around campus.
People feel compelled to speak up in meetings to state the obvious in an effort to show their knowledge.
It is really awkward.

What other stupid observations have you seen?

When are the ranking sessions? When are all ranking sessions completed?

The cuts amount to about 10% of the company's workforce.
Singapore-based workers were the first to learn their fate, with layoff emails arriving at 4 a.m. local time, according to Bloomberg. Employees in the U.K. and the U.S. were slated to be informed as their own mornings began. Meta asked North American employees to work from home Wednesday

Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.

I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety.
How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly didn’t see this coming , falsely assume my rockstar status insulated me

Of course, Cisco is going all in on AI

Significant changes to Collab
How many years do you think we have until everyone is replaced with AI ?

So many great contractors here at Intuit - curious what will happen or how CW have been impacted during prior layoffs. I think it's safe to assume many will not get their contracts renewed.

Former Meta Dublin.. How have teams been affected? Any teams in particular hit?

During the Q2 Town Hall, a question was asked about our strategy to replace commodity IT roles with external partners.

The answer was that we're moving to more of a factory model of labor, and we're going to reduce the need to have specialized 3M knowledge.

Between that and the other half of the town hall being about how we need to scale up our use of AI, it's clear that they're looking to reduce headcount.

When will we know when our IFP roles end? I thought we would find out today morning as WARN notice.

Does anyone know or has heard if there are changes to the severance package this year or recently?

Are there layoffs coming ?

Will the business survive ?

Fu--ing disrespectful to see postings/ openings based in Bangalore today on LinkedIn.

Up days were on low volume, fund managers are getting out of this stock

LinkedIn announced job reductions affecting over 600 employees. These permanent layoffs are scheduled for July 13. Many affected workers are based in California offices. CEO Daniel Shapero's internal memo previously indicated these cuts. The memo detailed a need for reinvention and investment shifts.

The Portland Trail Blazers dismissed at least two dozen business staff members. This action reflects major organizational changes under new owner Tom Dundon. Blazers president Dewayne Hankins confirmed the business restructuring. The cuts reached positions as high as senior vice president. The team seeks public funding for Moda Center renovations amid cost-cutting scrutiny.

Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.

The next round of layoffs here at NetApp highlight a growing issue: leadership increasingly feels disconnected from reality. Too many decisions seem to come from a C-level bubble rather than from understanding employees and customers. Another concern is the number of VPs/SVPs coming from companies like Microsoft, Oracle, or Pure Storage. External experience is valuable, but NetApp shouldn’t become a copy of everywhere else. The company’s strength was always its own culture and people.

Are we still expecting the next round of org changes and small rounds of JEs on the 21st?

I was just wondering if anyone has heard whether Accredo will also be impacted by the current layoffs at Cigna, or if that area is expected to remain stable for now.

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, so I thought I would ask in case anyone has heard any updates or information being shared internally.

All the wellness messaging in the world doesn't mean much when people are stressed about possible layoffs. Nothing says healthy workplace culture quite like anxiety, rumors, and employees wondering if they are on the next list.

Leave if you have the chance.

It seems that now our bonuses are also calculated with the WHAT and HOW scores. My manager created easy goals for a couple of colleagues who are her friends and asked them to copy paste them in the system. But with me, we used AI and my my goals are almost impossible to achieve. I don't think I shall get a good WHAT or HOW score even if I try too hard. And because the success of my goals is dependent on others, I am finding it hard to show that I am working harder than the colleagues with easier goals. Long story short, it feels like the new performance management makes it super easy for managers to give more bonus and salary appraisal to their friends. Is moving into another team my only choice? Are they really planning layoffs by giving bad scores? Some colleague was saying that a PiP means you don't even get severance and they can lay you off anytime. I can't ask my manager yet because she is very politik and cares more about networking than about our work. If the culture is only going to get worse I may even look for a job outside but there aren't many opportunities right now. I am based near Heidelberg in case that matters.

Former happy Cengager checking in to see what’s happening in Loserville.

Get out and let Cengage burn.

There is more money and better cultures out here.

Good luck

Does anyone have an update regarding RIFs for preservice/ECS/Home and Community?

It's not just the layoffs, it's knowing what the job market is like right now. Being laid off is bad enough, but when so many people are already being cut and there are so few available jobs... I've never been this worried about losing my job in my 20-year career.

Or will this continue throughout the week?

The only reason we are sponsoring them is because the executives get free lounge and box access for free. So much for being "good stewards", "shareholder oriented" and "value creators". Couple this with free private jets, it's one never-ending party for the ultra rich. The rest of us get pink slips and anxiety.

Will see what are the announcements later today but from emails and news, big changes, hopefully for the better, but I expect big cuts as well coming soon..

Good luck to everyone out there!

It's obvious that performance wasn't criteria for this round, so I'm wondering what was. Judging by the ages of those affected, I'm guessing pay played a significant role in determining who to put on the list. I could be wrong, though, and it could be something else entirely.
