#layoffs

I can think of three rounds that consisted of more than just a few people. Am I missing anything?

Are we ever going to be able to focus on work again, or is this just how it’s going to be now?

I know Jeff was swinging the axe yesterday and some poor 400 souls got hit sadly. The real question on my mind is did he completely obliterate the Data&AI group or are they still around. I know a director was let go in January/February. I'm just curious if he managed to plug the Data&AI money hole for good...

Will it be below 14$ by the end of the week? It’s a sinking ship while Executive’s are being fed grapes.

I went to see how much the workforce has shrunk over the years due to layoffs and I found this:

2025 162,000
2024 159,000
2023 164,000
2022 143,000
2021 132,000
2020 135,000
2019 136,000
2018 137,000
2017 138,000
2016 136,000
2015 132,000
2014 122,000
2013 120,000
2012 115,000
2011 108,000

With the constant cuts, how the he-l do we have more employees than almost ever before?

I can with 100% certainly tell you they are decommissioning the temple terrace building. This is not rumors and is not a joke. February 12th 2026 Verizon data centers LLC changed their mailing address and principle office location to baskin ridge. On top of that on floor 3 of the office, you will see hundreds of blueprints of the property in which are lying in recycled trash bins. The is the final steps of property decommissioning. They also hired contingent security workers at the front desk. It's 100% confirmed.

Dan pushed ai on us all on monday then immediately moved to fire so many people on friday. Was there warning?

Where are these layoffs coming from?

Great town hall, love the continued ask to do more without any mutual benefit.

• No real numbers, just colors and words

• No guarantees to top level performers for bonus or compensation

What would intelligent leadership look like?

Go into the successful locations, what is the common denominator?

STRONG MANAGEMENT that is incentivized to push a team through difficult times.

What is reality?

No incentive.

No reciprocal individual EBITDA benefit

Healthcare isn't office supplies, so DECREASING benefits and hours while INCREASING demands is a fools plan.

When this destructive self imposed Sycamore failure is complete, there will be business case studies added to college macroeconomics courses demonstrating how to NOT run a business.

Monthly bonus for hitting goals could be a good start for MGR, do you have zero motivational ideas Sycamore?

Nothing says “ask me anything” like the “organizer has disabled new discussions, and responses” and chat has been turned off by the “organizer for everyone”

Sounds like the long-term plan is to completely get rid of professional services

How many are planning to quit rather than being transferred? I see several people mentioning that's what they're going to do, so I'm just wondering how prevalent that is.

In the so called survivor meeting, they claim Cognizant is excellent partner (which is a TOTAL JOKE if you know what WITCH companies are). And they claim scaling up and down will be easier (scaling up is hard, scaling down is easy). They can fire ones easily by bench policy etc. Please, prepare for other plans. You deserve much better.

Is another day of Reckoning for VZB mgmt on the horizon?

Thin the herd. Desperately needed. Bring some sanity back to the business.

I'm one of the unlucky ones who's still employed by this trash company. I'm now going to have to do the work of 4 people, and I'm already DROWNING. In our dept meeting they kept saying we'll still meet our deadlines and learn how to "do more with less". It's IMPOSSIBLE.

I sincerely envy my associates who were let go.

Mystic Seaport Museum eliminated 22 positions. Employees were informed of these layoffs on Tuesday. The museum cited long-standing financial challenges. Rising inflation and increased operating costs contributed to the decision. These cuts represent about 15 percent of the museum's 150-person staff.

Auburn city officials are considering layoffs and tax increases. These measures aim to close a significant budget gap. Rising costs and slow revenue growth strain city finances. Leaders must make difficult decisions to maintain essential services. Discussions continue to balance the budget and minimize impact.

wow some people aren’t a man of the word , been saying they wanted to get laid off acting like they are financially all set but they are not , they end up getting laid off saying they are so happy because they hate the place , and would never go back , but they do go back because it’s easy and they will be working until they are 80. ALL TALK

Many investors want to exit their positions in FIS, but most of them are currently down by 30% to 50%, and some even by 70%. Because of these heavy losses, they are unwilling to sell at this point. What investors really want is either a strong turnaround in the company’s performance that drives the stock price up, or for FIS to be acquired by a major industry player so they can recover some value.

However, FIS has a very large workforce, and no major company is interested in acquiring such a high‑headcount organization. As a result, FIS has begun outsourcing and laying off employees to significantly reduce its full‑time workforce—potentially by up to 50% compared to today. This process is expected to continue through the end of the year. Once the company becomes leaner and more cost‑efficient, a sale becomes more likely

It appears that a significant wave of layoffs is underway here in Serbia. I know several people who were let go in the last couple of days. There are rumors that it will continue to happen throughout the next couple of months. I am on the Voyix side of the fence, things here are looking as bleak as it's possible.

get ready guys, they usually start in MDC then go to others

OpenText layoffs

Can anyone tell me if there have been any layoffs in the APAC region recently?

OpenText Reportedly Cut Jobs in March 2026.

https://stlawyers.ca/blog-news/opentext-job-cuts-march-2026/

https://betakit.com/opentext-employees-report-job-cuts-tied-to-apparent-restructuring/#:~:text=OpenText%20employees%20report%20job%20cuts,to%20take%20over%20as%20CEO.

Reports from this week (March 23–24) indicate that the cuts are not just hitting entry-level staff. The restructuring is specifically targeting:
• Senior Analysts and Team Leads: Multiple reports from the Waterloo and U.S. offices mention that long-tenured leads and senior-level individual contributors were let go in "8-minute" termination meetings.
• Product Management: There are indications of "flattening" within product groups, where middle-management layers are being removed to speed up decision-making for their AI Cloud products.

With gateway canceled would This create halo layoffs?

They had a meeting today with Branch managers and are announcing it to ABMs tomorrow. They will have until June 3rd to find a new job with PNC or otherwise

The second quarter layoff notices will go out tomorrow, 3/25/26. Cross your fingers and say your prayers tonight. They will go out in batches so keep checking your email. Good luck to everyone tired of the BS!

After the worst day working for this company in over 10 years I want to know how many VP's are losing their jobs? I am a 'lucky' one and am staying as an FTE but I feel sick about what has happened today and the spineless way the VP's handled the meeting. The upper management should be ashamed at how they have mismanaged this company. A show of the worst aspects of capitalism was displayed today. Too spineless to make people directly redundant and give them a redundancy package they have earnt from years of services. Forcing them to another company which a quick search shows are morally repugnant and treats employees as disposable assets. How long will it take for the board to step in and make the needed changes at the top? The changes in employee numbers over the last 5 years is shocking. Senior managers; You have broken trust with your employees, you have broken our morale, how long do you think this company will survive when you treat people like this.

Laid off by verbal notice in January, not given ANYTHING in writing until almost 2 full weeks later. Manager didn't bother to make the 40 min train ride to lay me off in person.

Then was stonewalled by manager and HR- not an acknowledgement that I had e-mailed to ask when I would be receiving information so that I could plan.

Sh---y, inhumane way to do it, and it all comes straight from the Charlie Scharf. The company started that downslide when he walked in the door.

Relieved to be away from the toxicity.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, Red Storm just laid off 100, and Epic Games 1000.

I don't know if I should feel lucky to still have a job or unlucky that they got paid to leave and my job is about to become much harder with added work.

Over the course of the last year, I watched as my friends were blasted away. A feeling not unlike sitting in a trench, the sirens begin, foxholes are filled, and some unlucky chosen never make it back. While dramatic, this is the feeling I get with every announcement, email, and report.
Today, my friends were sold like property. Some spent their lives here, only to be told the work and time they put in is worthless, that they’re no longer with us. Offered up like it wasn’t their lives being affected. For what? So some disgusting rich pig can get fatter? So some greedy corporate demon can keep feasting on us?
I know this place is he-l, but I pray we aren’t so godless that justice goes unserved. Imagine sacrificing people just to pad your pockets.
I have nothing to say about what happened today, no news, nothing. My words are gone, and every day here is filled with apathy.

Estimated — Nike Director+ (U.S.) Leadership Diversity Trends (2015 → 2024)

•   White (non-Hispanic): ↓ 12% - 15%
•   Non-White (racial/ethnic minorities): ↑ 45% - 60%
•   Women: ↑ 20% - 30%
•   Men: ↓ 15% - 20%
•   Minority leadership: ↑ 30% - 40%
•   Women in leadership: ↑ 15% - 20%

⸻

How this was constructed (summary):

•   Uses Nike’s published FY2020–FY2021 Director+ race data (exact)
•   Uses Nike’s reported minority % and gender % through FY2023/24 (exact totals)
•   Extends back to 2015 using Nike’s stated multi-year progress and targets
•   Applies simple interpolation/trend estimates where full yearly data is not disclosed
•   All figures represent directional, magnitude-correct estimates — not fully disclosed year-by-year data
•   Most detailed race data available: FY2020–FY2021 only
•   Post-2021 reporting: aggregate minority % only (no race breakdown at Director+)

A previous poster in a separate thread challenged to build this based on historically reported information. There is enough publicly reported information to state the above is better than directional.

What does it mean? And what does this have to do with layoffs? Well, there is one group that clearly should be worried a bit more than others ahead of and during a layoff.

Act accordingly, and get out while you can.

what happened? wouldn't layoff pump the stock price?

Around 150 folks are about to be shown the door.

I hope everybody is as prepared as they can be.

Layoffs are not even properly over and I'm already thinking about the next round. I can't even relax for a single day because things have been for so long that this is now the norm. We don't hate this company enough.
