Anyone else had their manager ask if they were interested in possibly taking a buyout. This is happening in some out of region nts/abfs. Offices ?

Grapevine tells me that a large Sales FY27 Go To Market Reorg is set for May.

Early May we will hear about Two items:
1) You must live in your Sales territory
(No more living in New York covering Florida for example)
You can find another gig where you live (good luck)
You can relocate on your own dime to be inside territory
Or you can leave Oracle

2) Sales Territories will be defined as Enterprise and General Territory FY27 for all of ORCL not just commercial

Goal is soft RIF: Still too many people and too many territories

No clue if any of this is accurate.
Let the world know if you know.

The power generation equipment maker has yet to reveal its plans for the more than 700,000-square-foot facility

GE Vernova, formerly a part of General Electric, spent $70 million to buy a distribution center in Rostraver last month, adding to the Massachusetts-based power generation equipment manufacturer’s strong Pennsylvania presence.

Westmoreland County property records show GE Vernova subsidiary GE Renewables Grid LLC purchased the more than 700,000-square-foot property from Gordon One LLC.

GE Vernova, which is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., was created when General Electric split into three companies in 2024.

GE Vernova did not immediately respond to questions about its plans for the property along Finley Road known as Amcel Center Two. The company leased about 150,000 square feet in the building prior to buying it.

A lot of office workers in India and the U.S. have been laid off recently.

But somehow there are still plenty of remote workers sitting in Dublin, Ireland. Why is ESG management holding onto them? What kind of justification is being made for keeping these roles?

From what I can see, most of them don’t bring anything special to the table. I’m not seeing strong skills in areas like reverse engineering or development. Honestly, it feels like teams in India or the U.S. could take over that work and do it better.

So what’s really going on here? Is ESG management going against company policy? Or do these people have connections with upper management? A lot of them seem to be legacy folks from the old Symantec days.

Finance, IT and HR have 40-50% headcount reduction targets by 2030. Expect 5-10% "performance" cuts each year, very few backfills and a ROM 2028-2029.

Lotta hot air and a whole lot of inaction. “Thinking about” volunteering (some people are trying to stay, while you have to ASK to be let go?) does nothing and earns you no points among the rest of us. You say the same sh-t every RIFmas and continue to hog 1 more headcount for a job you don’t even fu--ing need.

I'm in part of CMS and I hear we are dropping all of our red badges in CR to others in some part of Asia.. Assuming it's India.. They'll be gone by the end of the month.

That's what this is all about. It's as simple as that. They want you to quit to keep the actual layoff numbers smaller on paper and significantly cheaper.

Any idea who got the axe this round? Saw some posts on LinkedIn. Gotta love that they never announce anything.

Packaging Corp. of America plans to close a Richmond converting operation. This closure will result in 110 employee layoffs. Most affected employees will lose their jobs by early June.

Federal budget cuts are significantly reducing funding for immigrant settlement services in Ontario. These reductions are forcing agencies to cut programs and lay off staff. The Immigrants Working Centre in Hamilton already laid off six staff and faces more cuts. YWCA Toronto is closing childminding services and laid off four permanent staff. Agencies warn these cuts destabilize a system built over decades and will hurt communities.

You've heard it every year, "if you don't give a perfect 10 then it might as well as be a 0", so take them up on this!

I have given Dell a 0 for the past several years, in hopes it will bring change. Instead they continue with rolling layoffs, pay cuts, mandatory RTO, rotating and incompetent executive leadership, and micromanaging direct management. A far cry from what it was like a couple years back.

The past 2 years have been back-to-back double digit declines in overall eNPS. They say they listen so make your voices heard! I will be giving Dell a 0 and will be my first year also giving my manager a 0.

Emily Roxworthy, dean of USC's School of Dramatic Arts, agreed to meet with student protesters. Students held a five-hour sit-in regarding University-wide budget cuts and layoffs.

Tech companies cut nearly 79,000 jobs in early 2026. Oracle eliminated over 25,000 roles, and Amazon cut 16,000 positions. Many cuts are linked to AI adoption or automation-driven restructuring. Despite layoffs, companies still compete intensely for skilled talent. Hiring processes are becoming longer and more intentional for quality candidates.

New Jersey school districts face significant financial challenges. Many districts propose layoffs, tax increases, and program cuts. Ocean Gate School District will close its only school.

How was your raise? Did you get a full share of the bonus? College kids coming in and making more than tenured workers who have earned their stripes. A useless Tell Dell coming Monday. Franklin is the leading revenue generating plant in the company and they are using you up and spitting you out. Make some real noise and unionize.

From a meeting today

• if you are WFM you won't be able to move internally. All new roles are in office.

The unsaid part is also if you are WFM expect to be treated differently from now on. Less or No promotions, more scrutinized, first on the downsizing list. I think its safe to say Quiet Layoffs are in full effect. The playbook is done at every company that has done return to office.

I'm lost. BD is lost. Can someone tell me what's really going on here?!

This is the worst I've seen it since I started 16 years ago. There is no one steering the ship anymore. If there's still a captain, no one's listening to them. The norm is hurry up and wait. The culture is lies, fear, anxiety, confusion, frustration, and baffling. One good thing I recently heard is that a bunch of higher ups were let go, so someone up top is keen on trimming some of the upper fat. Maybe we will be lucky enough to get more DEI hires to replace them!

As our company is going through a tough time, I would like to propose the following ideas for saving costs:

• Pay Stephanie to do nothing. She has already proven that she creates negative value, so ensuring she does nothing will immediately increase the company's value.

• Move Bob to Cognizant, ideally to a low-cost location. This will allow him the opportunity to live the idea.

• Fire all the CTOs. Why do we need useless executives who have been unable to modernize our products for years? Replace them with AI bot. Productivity jump.

• Move Kelly to report to Koushik, so that both eventually leave. Huge savings.

Any idea you would propose?

What orgs are going to be impacted?

Ok all of my other theories have been wrong but hear me out. The March C14 -C16 cuts didn't really happen in risk/analytics/strategy/mis. It's beginning to look like AI is not going to replace 60 - 70% of analytic functions, its going to be closer to 90%+. I think these 2 things are related. The C14+ were retained to facilitate major C12 & C13 reductions.

Few JPM employees said that managers are asking employees if they want an exit package. Wondering if this is selective or company wide?

I wish they would land on a criteria and stick to for more than a year or two. Must be trying to get rid of some NRE folks. More headcount reductions to come...
