#layoffs

At this point I've heard fifty different versions about what's coming.

A lot of rumors have been flying around the office lately, though nothing sounds substantiated. I just can't figure out why layoffs talk suddenly picked up. If anyone knows anything, please share.

Reading my emails after a few days off and see we're supposed to support each other while our colleagues get laid off then an hour later a message asking us to donate to the Elevance PAC.

What phenomenal leadership.

And they'll have no better ideas than to cut the ranks and yet again diminish the customer experience.

Do we really think the company will lay off all merchant facing jobs and move to the Phillipines? How could we do that and still be an American company and publicly traded?

This is alarming to think we could lose our jobs just because cost is cheaper in a third world country. Is this what worldpay does? I heard they are closing most buildings down at the end of the year, except Cincinnati, Atlanta, Rochester, and Jacksonvill. Is that true? Thesis is scary times. 😢

Anyone knows latest on Dow’s restructuring 2026? This will surely impact Houston job market and those impacted by Shell’s own restructuring.

Nothing they do makes any sense. How long have they been keeping us on edge with the reorg and layoffs now? And through it all, they keep making these "strategic" moves - strategic, apparently, to someone who hasn't glanced at the news.

You hear it first here !

Intel has to lower its unstable chips to below $500 in order to compete as gold and oil prices shoot up all time high. Intel should have gone fabless 10 years ago as success AMD and NDVIA stories. You cannot afford to throw out 50% yield silicon in hope to lead the foundry without customers again at this moment.

Surrender unconditionally is only option to avoid massive stock dump and crash soon.

does anyone think a 3rd round of closings will happen?

Just trying to plan, just in case.

Who's to blame? Ten years ago, the idea of something like this happening to Saks would be laughed at. It takes especially incompetent leadership to bring us to this point. We're losing our jobs because of them. This makes me both so sad and angry. This could and should have been avoided.

Anything new on April layoffs at Western Union? There were so many rumors flying around, and then total silence. Not sure what to make of it.

It's sad that layoffs have become so commonplace that even this soon after the last round I'm already worried about what's coming next. At this point, the only way to regain some semblance of job security probably means finding a job somewhere else. This place has outlived its purpose.

It is no secret that Bank will have another round of layoffs in Q2, just by everything I’ve been hearing, end of April seems to be the target date.

Reading previous post on what happened back on Jan 28, don’t be in office that day, as you will be escorted out and laptop confiscated. Start taking certification courses NOW, because you won’t have access to Guild to register for more during the 60 day window. If you register now and do get impacted in a few weeks, USAA still has to cover the course(s). Send all your accomplishments, year end reviews and resume to your personal email, redeem all your recognition points because again you won’t have access to do it once they take your laptop.

More importantly, take your PTO, but use the floating holiday and volunteer hours first, as those are not paid out to you. With phase 2 of the “how we work” bank reorg, look to the person to your left and right, very good chance one of them will be impacted in the next 6-8 weeks.

I thought we were done? Is this a whole new batch or is this still from the announced 30k in January?

No layoffs before May? Is that correct?

Layoffs do happen often in this industry, but right now is especially bad for finding a new job. If you think there are layoffs coming start putting out the resumes and making connections now. I know people that have been looking for work for a year now, and they all say hiring is slow on the open market, and the best way to get a job is through your own network and making the right connections ahead of any layoffs. I am hearing stories of people applying for hundreds of jobs and not even getting a sniff of interest. If you have a good paying jobs with benefits keep it and start looking while you have a job. That has always been the advice people have given me, but it seems like it is more true now than ever. Good luck for those looking in this current environment.

It will only be hard for those getting let go. Many imposters have been brought in under DEI for a decade it’s ki-ling the company … let’s not fool ourselves here. Meta has a failing social media platform poor adoption by younger generation. Metaverse is just a creepy place for furies. Meta lost the AI race, lama and other platform just disappointing. When you go woke you go broke. everyone brought in under DEI must go. No more posting those cringe LinkedIn posts to the feed or day in life on TikTok. Time to grind by real masculine energy superstars. Good luck all

Three facilities are closing and 572 people are getting cut, all amid federal fraud case.

How much severance does a Band D partner get when subject to RA at IBM US
Is it the same 3 month severance for Band D partner or you get 6 months or more being an executive . just want to prepare for the worse given the rumors of an upcoming RA in April 2026

I am just wondering if this site just makes us believe that situation is worse than is it ? All my colleagues I worked with are still here and I haven’t truly seen a job displacement due to HIH or AI yet. Yes some VP or contractors were let go that I knew but everyone is still there.

Have all of the approx. 265 people impacted by the April Layoff been notified already in some fashion?

If you make good money, watch out. You're probably on the list. Me, I'm underpaid. So maybe they keep me around a while longer. Silver linings.

When is the next round?

Things were okay until about six months ago, when a new manager showed up and everything shifted. He has clear favorites, people he protects no matter what, while the rest of us get nothing but criticism and constant pressure. The atmosphere has turned toxic in a way you can feel the moment you walk in, and people who used to talk and help each other now mostly keep their heads down and try to stay under the radar. When layoffs first became a probability, I was petrified, but lately I catch myself almost hoping for it, because at least then I would have a reason to leave without it feeling like my fault, and that is honestly where I am now.

The next round is upper management. As craft I have witnessed a lot of very incompetent, lazy, self serving behavior from management that has been directly responsible for all of the layoffs. Craft employees have marketable skills and will find work much quicker than the online degree MBA holding managers who are about to be replaced by AI. Karma is coming for you! It’s all your own doing!

I know some groups weren’t hit in the last round of layoffs and we are still fat with duplicate roles due to Xerox/Lexmark teams being merged. And the company isnt doing well. So I suspect more layoffs are coming. Seen a few people say May 30. How likely is that? Anyone got any insight or a crystal ball?

The number is larger than we assumed, so it's going to take some time to figure things out and set everything up. This'll be another long wait.

Makes me sick go go on LinkedIn .... and seeing sad-sack Verizon RIF victims “open to work” and not even able to get a G D interview …. intertwined with Verizon execs “Proud to have achieved Diamond Club in the 2025 Verizon Business Group Recognition Program” “Verizon is so good to me” “ Honored and thankful to be a 2025 Diamond 💎 Club Award winner with Verizon Business 🙌” ugh. Just ugh. Would be nice to have a g d job k thx.

If they email it, who does it come from and how do they even know you read it?

The plans are in the final stages for a MASSIVE Layoff of all H1-Bs from TCS North America. This is due to huge pressure from the Trump Admin for any and all suppliers to the US government to eliminate ALL H1-Bs from payrolls if you want to be a supplier to ANY DERIVATIVE government agency, you need to eliminate all H1-Bs from your payrolls.
That means there will be an ELIMINATION of all H1-Bs from TCS USA payrolls.
Most H1-Bs should plan on moving back to India or wherever you were sponsored from as things are about to get very ugly.
This action is due to TCS aggressively eliminating US citizens and replacing them with cheap slave labor from India or wherever they were sponsored from.
Goodbye H1-Bs, you had a good ride but it’s over now.

Marion City Schools faces a multi-million dollar budget deficit. The district plans $5.5 million to $6 million in staff reductions. Program changes are also part of the plan. Superintendent Brian Murphy hopes attrition will cover most reductions. This includes retirements or resignations.

I'm terrified of losing my job, yet here I am, being reassured daily that being replaced by AI or cheap offshore labor is the best thing that could happen to me.
